Like Roy Keane before them, the GPA are not happy with Paddy Power's energetic marketing team. This week, Paddy Power set about attempting to find the 100 hottest GAA players in the country.

However, the GPA are deeply unhappy with the campaign, and claim that no permission was given for the campaign.

According to the Daily Star, the players body sent out this text message urging members not to support their brand.

NO permission was granted to betting company today for exploitation of player images for publicity-seeking promo. Pls don't promote their brand #showrespect
