So they lost their first final, drew the semi final and drew the GF and ended up winning the premiership.
Yeh I am a GPS supporter, and it is definitely one of the less inspiring ways to win a premiership. In saying that, at least they earned themselves a penalty to win the game.
Some of the social media comments are again ridiculous, claiming GPS should have gone for a try on the final play instead of kicking a goal, so they could 'win the game properly'. Like seriously, I don't think any team is going to turn down the chance to win a premiership on the final play in that situation.
I actually spoke to a club official out at Ballymore about the whole no extra time situation because I agree it's bizarre. He essentially said it's unlikely to be overturned because there is even more emphasis on player duty of care these days, limiting contact hours at training and maximum minutes a player can play over the course of a day/weekend etc.
