The Limerick hurling manager John Kiely has made his thoughts known of how big a joke it is that he can’t get a message on to his players on the field during the match.
The school teacher isn’t happy with the situation and calls it bonkers ..
See his comments below and some of the comments underneath that ..
John Kiely feels that the GAA needs to allow management teams get messages onto the pitch.
“In the modern game, you’re not allowed to get messages onto the pitch. It’s a difficulty,” said Kiely after Limerick's narrow loss to Cork.

I sat behind Jim Gavin one match… right behind him. He didn’t move. Did shout a single instruction. Looked on calmly. Dubs went in behind at half time (I think). Came out and won the game. The best teams figure it out. The best managers encourage them to do so.
To compound the problem the rules don’t allow the Maor Caman or Maor Uisce to be miked up to the Bainisteoir to try and get messages to players around the pitch. This baffles me as messages could be passed to players without any encroaching on the field of play.Nah I don’t agree just play the game let the players play and enjoy the match and then go home for your dinnerI must have missed the Maor Foirne in the Premier League. I actually think one Maor Foirne should be allowed, but teams work around it anyway. The Limerick doctor and physio are well up to speed on their tactics and getting messages in.
