Closing stable door after horse has bolted

The GAA apologised to fans and the two teams affected by yesterday’s postponement of the Dublin Armagh game.
The association claimed the pitch was playable up until a shower fell after noon but that it was then dangerous to the players.
The only good thing about this mess is that there will be no charge for the replay which is being held on Wednesday 9th.
This was a loss for everyone as only 1,500 people made it through the turnstiles yesterday out of a crowd anticipated to be between 8,000 and 9,000 and the association was made a laughing stock of.
I just hope that the association will take action to try to prevent fans and teams travelling when there is a big likelihood of the bad weather which had already forced the Donegal Tyrone game to be put back 24 hours.
