Players react with fury as Congress pass ‘Super 8’ motion

The huge talk last few years is player burnout and yet they condense the championship meaning less time for rest and recovery #PlayersRights

Absolute joke about super8, all down to money and the GAAs greed. Money rules a voluntary organiation #GAAcongress17 #gaa

RIP club football #congress

-"Any interest in a #Super8 competition lads?"
-"Ah no, wouldn't be great for the game to be honest"
-"Great. It starts next year"

Disappointing to realise in the modern day that players opinions count for absolutely nothing in how our own games are run #Super8

70% of players rejected #Super8 proposal, 76% of delegates supported it. Theres a serious disconnect here.... #GAAcongress17

Most County boards and delegates are dinosaurs and completely out of touch with players needs / wants of today #GAACongress17

The super 8 motion is disgusting!!Players in weaker countries to walk away from the game!! Shame on those on top table #Congress2017

#super8 will only make a big problem bigger. The GAA should listen to the two bodies that represent the players. #makemoneyforgetethos

Absolutely ridiculous. So out of touch, just shows the championship isn't the only structural issue within the GAA.

Can't be bothered following Congress updates after super 8 is passed. 2021 before club players can get a fair deal, depressing thought.

The turkeys have voted for Christmas at Congress today! First steps on the road to professionalism. Don't worry about the rest #super8

How broke are the GAA? Like there must be some truth we can't fathom that they will bulldoze through #Super8s knowing players hate it. pic.twitter.com/ZUz6WeIxRE

Screw you club & majority of inter.c players.We think u are all idiots who'll cry for a bit but eventually go along with us -GAA 2017😐#sound

Everyone understands change is needed, but change for the sake of it, not nearly addressing the actual problems?! #GAACongress17 #Super8

Imagine the Champions League being knockout for 4/5 rounds and then putting them into groups at 1/4 final stage #insanity #gaa #congress2017

— Conor McGraynor (@ConorMcGraynor) February 25, 2017

Players can't stand half what their county boards do or try yet it's them who speak on behalf of players at congress #mindboggling

President Trump. P45 for Ranieri. Super 8 proposal. Sad world we live in.

GAA fails its players again.
