Someone give me a good Gareth Brooks related pun for this news.

What about:

"If tomorrow and the next day never comes!"

OR

We Shall Be Three

First one a good one- I went for Ring Of Fire Extinguished.

What is it in our nature that delights in seeing an organisation getting something wrong, even if it's an organisation we belong to, even if it ultimately means everybody in organisation loses out to some extent?

I reckon the 800 years has ingrained such a devotion to anarchy that we just like to see things going wrong for any person or body seen to be in some kind of authority, even if it's an authority granted by ourselves.

I think DCC made the right decision, I'm just interested in the delight it engenders among GAA members. I don't have the stomach for the predictable GAA-bashing we're going to get for the next while from the usual quarters. Don't for God's sake switch on Livewhine today.

What the most successful organisation on the Island of Ireland trying to exploit its own resources for financial gain,  for the GAA as a whole and as such every club across the country?

Oh they are so evil  >:(

Im sure Tony will attempt it by starting  new thread on the subject.

Probably should have had a garth brooks motion at congress to make sure everyone was ok with it  ::)

They applied for concert licenses and overshot the runway. It happens. Refunds all around and a thriving black market.

For Ballinaman being from Mayo, I imagine it's just nice to have won something.
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

I thought Croke Park were just renting out the venue and it was Aiken Promotions who got it wrong.  Are CP actually the promoters?

Aiken are the promoters. Croke Park just rented them a venue. But sure it's all Croke Park and the greedy GAA's fault.

From the very outside looking in, five nights appeared to be OTT, especially in light of the one direction concerts a few months ago.
I think part of whole mindset issue is the socialist type of mentality that exists in Ireland and other places in Europe.
I often get the impression that a lot, not all Irish people would prefer to see people in business fail rather than succeed.

I'd say Garth is Mr Blue now with the big pay day no More Than a Memory.  Hopefully the residents don't regret Burning Bridges as Wild Horses couldn't get Garth to come back to Ireland now.  :o
