Two GAA games today. Two very different pitches.

Here are some of the comments online .. 

Both games organised by two different organisations, the camogie one in actually a more prestigious venue. Stop looking for something that isn’t there.

One broadcasted on RTE in English, one broadcast on TG4 in Irish where few understood the commentary. Guess which was which?

They’re playing in Semple Stadium, but you make it sound like some back pitch at a junior club.

Thurles pitch is top class and most players love to play there. The referee deemed it fit for the match to go ahead. Was he pressurised to do so. Don’t criticise the pitch. Criticise the person who deemed it suitable for the match to go ahead.

You mean well done to the GAA for generously allowing the Camogie Association to use one of their top pitches! A bit much blaming them for the bad weather.
