What dinosaurs is he referring too? The men and women who put a lifetime of voluntary work into their clubs and counties? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 25/07/2018 17:41:43 2126202 Link 2 |

link Irrelevant because some people in the GAA were going out of their way to avoid letting then have Pairc Ui Chaoimh for this game. Rather than be charitable and give support and bend some rules they hired solicitors to prove a point. No-one can disagree that the FAI is a dodgy organisation. Probably Duff himself would have plenty to say about the FAI and how they treat the League he coaches in. What could and should have been done by the FAI is down to them. But had they a 15K stadium in Cork it'd be a white elephant and these game organiser's would still look for the biggest venue in Cork. Apologies to yourself and anyone else I've offended about this but it's making me pure thick. It's doing the GAA image no favours but I disagree with Duff in that the game should go ahead and will put the GAA in a better light.

Probably! they are easy targets even our own have a dig at them. Then again when you form your opinion of an organisation based on the way your own is run you do tend to be ill-informed and that is about the most charitable thing you can say about Duff and his like.

Not for one second giving any credence to Duff or his mouthing off. However you know and everyone else knows he is not talking about the voluntary workers at grass root level but the well paid upper executives. The professionals in an amateur sport who constantly behave in an amateur way. At amateur level when an issue occurs Joe has to call a meeting for Tuesday night but MIck and Pat cannot make it because they are WORKING on the back shift so it will have to be next week as there are games on at the weekend. These full time officials seem to shoot from the hip before they know the rule been applied. Then they have to walk it back and be told by an amateur voluntary person they have got it wrong. Surely the GAA have a public relation officer that can judge and give input to what they are about to release and its possible blow back. As full time officials they should know the rules and have the time to get it right. Just one example for now. KIdaregate. They made the rule on home games. Then tried to change it. Former big names officials issuing warnings (bully tactics) and at the end of the day had to swallow their own vomit. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2665 - 25/07/2018 19:28:51 2126222 Link 2 |

what are these alternative facts..obviously there is an anti gaa brigade just as much as there is an anti soccer brigade especially among those higher up in the gaa..do you deny this?...the gaa have made themselves easy targets so no sympathy for them

archaic rules..all they had to do was turn a blind eye and apply common sense...do you think they deserved abuse yes or no?
