Disappointing, but predictable.
Too many conservative committee-types still running the show in various Provincial Councils and County Boards. There is a growing disconnect between these dinosaurs and players & supporters.
Hardly anyone who agitated against Proposal B came out and defended the current set-up. They were just anti-change or in some cases - here's looking at you Kerry, Mayo and Galway - protecting the status quo for their own betterment, rather than the good of the game. You wouldn't expect any better from Ulster at this stage.
Back we go to the same boring turkey shoots in the provinces, including one or two finals. Players and supporters in the weaker counties going the motions for one or two games in the summer, before their seasons grind to a predictable halt.
