Replying To yew_tree:  "Am I missing something ? That horse bolted years ago. Club managers get paid, the physio, the ref gets mileage etc etc."
Seems he's objecting to paying managers regular wages with Tax, PRSI etc but has no objection to under the counter black economy cash in hand stuff??

I would be pretty certain that he is not part of that in Vinnies nor was when with Dublin footballers and hurlers. There are believe it or not still people who run teams for reasons other than money. Strange to tell...

Depends on your situation financially I guess. The hours managers are putting in is unreal these days. I've been part of management teams at club level and it's off the charts. You're on the phone half the day alone and juggling your regular job.

He's probably right, we probably are heading towards professionalism.

The thing is that path was paved well in advance and took off like a juggernaut when The GAA decided to pump millions of the organisations money into Dublin GAA to the detriment of all other counties and funnily enough I didn't hear much complaining then!

Unless you are claiming to be chairman of his club or county, you have no clue what he gets or doesn't get for managing teams. These payments aren't broadcasted for many reasons so quit acting like you have the golden key to the secret files here.

Why attack my fellow Donegal man when all he was stating was the truth?

I'd say there's people working for the Revenue who would only be dieing to know the ins-and-outs of the payments being made all over the country at club level, never mind county!

Well that's the elephant in the room here. Noone is "officially" getting paid, but sure *wink* *nod*

Pay no heed to Him Lockjaw, he's on trolling to see who'll bite. I wouldn't bother replying to the likes of him.

I can promise you with all sincerity I am not a troll or anywhere near one. I try to keep abreast of all the happenings big and small from the top to the very bottom but in particular I will favour and support the underdog first and foremost, I support Carlow and I lend my support to others.

I post what I think is worth posting, I will respond to a post(er) should I think it's worthwhile.
There are a few posters here who post their fair of rubbish and have no trouble in finding some one to bite.

For the record again I am not a troll and it truly hurts me that some out there thinks I am.
I have better things to do.
Neither am I a WUM.

Replying To Onion_Sack:  "How did you hear he was totally against GAA letting rugby play in the grounds? Just asking!"
It was on the paper. he said it was one of the reasons he left. He wasn't for letting Leinster play in croke park and felt the GAA were more focused on making money by any means and haven't any plans or need for the money.

33 County Boards and a few thousand Clubs would only love to get a spare of said money.
