In todays paper that pj had his ban lifted at the weekend to free him up to attend interview!

A mix and match after i said it on the hurling or football thread before we jumped to a new thread.

but sure u have seen sense so never worry, not here to trip people up or anything.

i agree with your theory of having same budget for football and hurling by the way!

which positions do u c as essential then bannside, treasurer is one!

County meeting set for weds night lads hopefully be white smoke then and hurlers can get back training in next coup,e of weeks!

Pj has his interview for job tomorrow night! Hopefully he gets the job and the whole process never happens like that again.

ah now u r coming. Round to my way of thinking Bannside!

Any forward movement in relation to Dunsilly is welcome. If we hope to have competitive teams we need to have good standard facilities on which to prepare these teams. Middle of the county too so ideal.

Make it the new county base too. Offices, meeting rooms, etc. Anyone in any doubt how this could look like should take a visit to Owenbeg.

If it gets to be half the facility that Owenbeg is then I will be delighted.

After all the controversy it would be great if we could now knuckle down and come up with a facility that can really help move the county forward and something that we can be collectively proud of.

A facility like owenbeg or garvaghy would be brilliant, but it wont happen as dunsilly is just to be a training facility.

remember casement park, yeah that big old stadium, thats where offices, conference rooms, spectator facilities are to be housed. 

the ego that is duffy lol some men coming out of the woodwork for this years convention, where have they all been over the years?
not criticizing them just asking why now and not before!

im sure by now everyone has heard the great news about dunsilly! work to start early decemeber, at last. dcal have helped out with funds towards new changing facilities.

County meeting on Wednesday night, prob be a manager ratified then I would suspect!

U should all brief ur delegates to ask a few questions about the process then!

It not what he says it's the venom and hatred with which he says it!

Bannside the assistant secretary for the county and similarly in divisional board remit is to be the secretary of the ccc. Has been the way for a number of years now.

blueblood to start with i dont have a common link with urself and u have lost me completely with ur cryptic messages!

i dont know who is interviewing potential hurling managers nor do i know how much is owed in expenses to players.
but please do enlighten us all...

from the list i wonder why saffron vision didnt run someone for the coaching post or development?!
for me christie would be best suited in development  as he is one of the best about at that role, as i said square peg round hole.

blueblood i am starting to think u could be very good at leaving voicemails lol go on give us a blast of "dickh##d did u use my name in an email" lol classic stuff lol

Culchie, have you heard any more on Pol Mac Cana's situation?

nope havent heard anymore, only what another poster said on here a few days ago that he might be back in race!
some sort of confusion over rules, he wasnt a full member so to speak at start of year but has corrected that now, i think it is something to do with the timescales.

if he is eligible he will run & if not unfortunately he wont.

well cnma, brendanbelfast & blueblood have u received yours yet?! 

bannside as an election agent for the visionaries, ur bound to know that info too!

im not sure about the divisional boards being instructed not to facilitate saffron vision, more they maybe dont want to get involved in them politics as they will have to work with whoever gets the jobs!

the clubs themselves can hold such meetings, as has been carried out this week in 2 lough shore clubs, where pinky & the brain aka tony & dick have delivered the vision! fair play to them, they are getting their message out there, will it work, we will have to wait and see!

keep ur ears to ground for a shot in the arm for the old guard!!

Ffs lads he is going for the position of PRO, which is to promote Antrim GAA, the video is his way of showing you what he can do! Probably a better cv than to list his achievements.

I couldn't put that together that's for sure, fair play to him, he obviously really wants the job when he went to that bother!

Mclarnon of St. Paul's is running for treasurer I think. As I said it would be unfortunate if the sv candidate didn't get to run due to a clerical hitch. 2 good candidates.

full list of candidates won't be known until candidates accept their nomination, the date for that is next Monday. Rules eh!

Blue blood I am not exactly sure what u r on about but I am reading between the lines and will ask does the position of county secretary ever come up for review?! If so when is it next due for renewal?! Seems a lot of the same problems arise from one main area!

hardstation, i have heard that unfortunately the candidate on the saffron view ticket for treasurer, had to withdraw, as per gaa rules, u need to be a member of a gaa club by a certain date!

as i say unfortunate as the said person was a professional in this area.

this is bound to be a big blow to their ticket!

i take it that the rest of the candidates will be relased to clubs for consideration shortly.

Blue blood i am neither of the aforementioned.

Sure I might not even be a member of a GAA club & therefore have no rights whatsoever in what happens to our county!!

As I said before some of both groups will get in and we will have a mixed group who I hope will sort things out between them for the betterment of Antrim GAA.
