Here’s what was said and who said what this week.

But I find it a disgrace, and it is the same old dinosaurs in the GAA making the same old decisions.

Irish footballer Damien Duff told Off The Ball that he is disgusted by the GAA’s unwillingness to open the doors to Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the Liam Miller charity match.
