You just can’t leave a game early enough anymore, it seems.
Traffic jams were alive and well around Croke Park on Sunday and the fans were caught up in what looked to be a right mess after the Kerry and Tyrone All-Ireland semi final.
On the way in before the game, it was already mayhem.
Gardai advise motorists travelling to Croke Park,traffic is very heavy from M1 motorway into Drumcondra.Either M50 or Port Tunnel advised.

And, afterwards, it certainly wasn’t much better.
Irish International Rules analyst, Rob Carroll, captured the chaotic scene in Clonliffe College a full hour after the final whistle and we don’t envy anyone stuck in it.
Especially if you’re from Tyrone.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time both sets of fans thought it was necessary to stay on until the end of the match this season?
Either way, Carroll wasn’t offered any good solutions.
You need to know the roads, you see.

This one is a decent suggestion but it’s not really solving the problem.

Don’t fret though, because we have the solution.
