    The all ireland club semi final between corofin and st galls has been reschueled for next sat night at 7.30 in parnell park.
    Are the gaa out of their minds.
    There were bus loads of under age players and parents ready to go to parnell park yesterday morning to postponed game.
    Does the gaa have any time for its underage supporters ?
    game on at 7.30 probably over at 9.00 a three hour journey home afterwards. This is crazy, give youth a chance.

    St Galls beat Corofin but some strange rules helped:
    The Northern champions overcame the second-half loss of centre-back Anthony Healy for two yellow-card offences to romp their way into the final after extra-time.

    They were restored to 15 men due to that weird rule that allows a team reduced to 14 in normal time get back to full strength in extra-time.

    It's a daft concept and that was highlighted when Corofin had Gary Sice sent off in the third minute of extra-time. Sice incurred a second yellow for a tussle with Kevin Niblock.

    No problem with the yellow -- but surely if effectively a red card is null and void for extra-time, then previous yellows should also be discarded.

    The loss of Sice at such a stage of a physically and mentally draining encounter helped tip the balance in St Gall's favour and they went from being level at 1-9 each at the end of normal time to scoring six more points, while Corofin could only manage two, in that extra 20-minute period.
