    For the day thats in it, has this been verified at all and is it a stupid joke

    Like why would the Irish Independent be at Innisfails at first light to observe this

    Maybe its a regular occurrence and they got a tip off, who knows ?

    A bit careless alright.
    Up the Dubs. I'd say that photographer is a classy individual no doubt. Really making a positive contribution to our lives.
    The snowflakes are out in force I see. "I'm disgusted, rage, rage, I'm offended blah blah blah" the usual stuff.

    7 in a row just got even more attractive for the Dubs. A master stroke. This will create a siege mentality in the camp - everyone is against us. Nice bit of extra motivation if it were needed. Thank you Independent.

    It's true. Loving the whole, "ah tis only a joke lads" angle.

    That's kind of sad. Dubs ignoring the rules and you think it's grand. Sad.

    I think that Dublin should forfeit their place in the champo, and it should be given to the next highest ranked team in Leinster, i.e. Wicklow.

    If it's true, the word for gaining a competitive advantage by using illegal means is called "cheating".

    I think you'll find, far from "rage, rage, I'm offended", the thought that the Dublin team would go down as the most successful cheats would provoke "laughter, laughter, I'm delighted"

    Thats what i am asking, is there proof its true?

    In a way i hope its not a joke as if it was it would do more damage than if it wasnt

    The faux outrage is a bit much though

    If it was an April Fools joke you would have thought the Dublin County Board would be out by now saying it didn't happen

    Always find it funny that the people who go around shouting "snowflake" "im offended blah blah" "you can't say naffin these days" "triggered" are the most easily offended people on the planet. The likes of you all hot under your collar now over people's genuine anger at this

    Again, hands up, as a Kerryman, I'm delighted.

    Why be angry? The thought of being able to spend years following up every reference to the Dublin success by saying "...but they were caught cheating", it's a Godsend!

    In fairness, that can't really start unless and until the story is confirmed.

    Absolute eejits.

    Didn't they think that there would be eagle eyes watching out for something like this? It probably has been going on for a while which is why the photographer was there. Those not interested in GAA and seeing the GAA as privileged and "always getting special treatment" will love all of this and scream for repercussions.

    And the pitch being down a quiet cul-de-sac was chosen for a reason (I know it's where they train sometimes!), but what a bunch of clowns.

    You think stuff like this helps or hurts calls to get the GAA back at county and club level ?

    There is something iffy about this, in that if you see the pictures taken, if you know Innisfails the person taking the pictures would have been in clear sight of the players as it would have been on the "open side" of the ground

    And the Independent drop the story at 2.30am on April 1st and the writer is the group head of news for the group...

    Obviously not the first time that they have trained and I guess the jorno got wind of these meet ups

    I'm not hot under the collar, merely giving my view as we are all entitled to.

    CNN will be reporting it at this stage. Hopefully Wolf breaks it to the nation, he's my favourite.

    No way can this be true.

    Didn't they sweep out the dressing room only last year?

    I'm still surprised they have not set up a standalone thread in the forum to vent their anger and show how outraged they really are. Some are probably still in bed to be fair, so there's time yet.

    Surprised they didn't also announce extra funding for Dublin. Maybe Biden will throw them some of that stimulus money

    People on this thread are angry it is being discussed at all and seem to see any discussion as an overreaction and launch into hyperbole
