The sentence above, written by Eoghan Cormican in the Irish Examiner this week, was a case in point. Yeah, the All-Ireland ladies football semi-final has been moved, six days before the match, from Limerick to Dublin, as men are training. Never mind the nine-year-old, how does anyone adequately explain that sentence to the women playing in that match tomorrow? It’s the kind of sentence you go back to the following morning, convinced that you’ll be reading it in a different light. And it was a fully predictable situation to the thousands of adult women club players bumped onto the ‘back pitch’ by an underage boys team.
