Corinthians defender Paulo Andre, who is leading the protest stated
"We will escalate the protests if the federation doesn’t respond"
This is not the first time exotic parts of the world have felt the wrath of poorly planned fixture arrangements as the winners of tomorrow's Clare county football will have to play the Munster final on Sunday!
