Tomás Ó Sé blasts 'insane and unfair' Super 8s scheduling

The new All-Ireland quarter-final groups throw-in for the first time this weekend at Croke Park, but the times and dates for later rounds have yet to be confirmed.

Kildare, Monaghan, Tyrone and Roscommon will host games on the weekend of July 21-22, before Kerry, Galway, Donegal and Dublin have home advantage on the weekend of August 4-5.

Ó Sé called the uncertainty for counties and supporters making travel plans "insane and unfair".

"Has to be some reason by @officialgaa for it but it’s insane and unfair on counties and especially supporters that they don’t know times and dates for next weeks super 8s and beyond!!! Kildare going to Killarney Dubs going to Omagh. Logistic nightmare," he tweeted.
