So u thinK Croke who fork out  70% of the gaelfast moneY make their decisions after reading discussions boards ... wise up! too many yes men on this board 

why havE you such faith in our county leadershp?
Div 4 football 3 years / casement closed 10 years / 2 senior peoplE resigned from Gfast and I could go on
if we all kept Quiet we woul still have the brits on our streets

im hearing JImmy Darragh from the Ulster Council is temporary chief of Gaelfast chief but still no county statement on matter - pontius pilate at play by county Board? i also hear the county noard interfering in Gaelfast was a reason for both departUres - Happy Friday Gaels!

Who's the two departures?

the chieF donnelly and chairman o reilly

Terry spoke very well and shows how hard Gaelfast is going to be...

The difficulty of replacing PD was highlighted very well by Terry, and to think people were questioning his credibility

Terry also mentioned that Gaelfast is actually only going 8 months full pelt once all the appointments were in place..

The clock is ticking so hopefully there is someone on board soon.

interviewer didn't Ask why the 2 left just weeks aparT. Not too much to Asj for Antrim Gaels to know what's going on .m

Both lads are very approachable, next time you bump into them I'm sure they'll let you know

very helpful thankS

BBC radio ulster last night interView. Must have got the wrong poster - sorry! and ceasefire!
the county needs to come ouT and make a statement about the vacanCies - we deserve better in Antirm

So Dunsilly, i think, wanted everone to stay quiet on the board about the gaelfast chief leaving and now the TOR chairperson has left too and no mentioned of replacements - still All happy to keep heads in sand and pretend all is rosy?

As you may have seen I'm not a fan of paying coaches either but acknowledge that mileage and valid expenses go with the territory these days.
I understand that managing 30 adults would be difficult but so are positions such as club Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary.

I have yet to see a high profile retired 'outside' player come to my club for a 3 year stint and £10K on the side. Clubs can always manage to get through the tough times with their own good members.
If as a association we ignore payments that drain club funds then as I have said we will be paying for outside minor managers and maybe even club committees in the near future and further hinder clubs financial position.
When people start to get financial reward for performance then they start to put themselves first at the expense of the organisation they are working for.

Finally other posters who contribute to this board may disagee  with my perspectives but sometimes having conservative, old-fashioned and nostalgic views are a safeguard against the rapid change in GAA ethics that have stood us well to date.

My own club couldn't get a manager internally a few years ago, we went outside. What was our alternative? Not enter the leagues?

If there Wasnt option of going outside? a way would be found and all the coacheS who are on circuit COuld go back to their vlubs and be available

reasonable expenses is no big issuE for me.
Ill ask u again Rich clubS paying big money for coaches etc is fair? when not every Club has money to do it
YouU are a tad paranoid

Paranoid?

Listen if it's not in the rules it's wrong, there's ifs buts or maybes, what happens happens, it's up to Croke Park to stamp down on it..

By the same token expenses should be paid to all volunteers, no one should be out of pocket

Let's cut to chase - u think it ok example for a Sean kelly or ciaran mcgourty to be paid by St Johns to manage St Johns against st galls and beat st galls? when they learnt all they know at st galls

reasonable expenses is no big issuE for me.

I'm really surprised you 'two' came together straight after that.

Ok what's wrong with paying someone for traveling? But ok to pay a physio?

Answer me that you two or one I suspect

Do You really have no worries about the richest clubs using ther money to buy their Way to success?

so are  youse boys saying make manager payments part of the rules so its not cheating and secretive? At least that with some caps on the amounts paid and proper penalties for breaking trules would be better than the murky stuff we have now. still have My doubts it can be afforded in Long run

Who's saying that?

If I've asked ( say I'm a manager) someone to travel 60 miles to coach or do strength conditioning, something I'm not skilled at I shouldn't pay him for coming up the road?

Very bizarre, and another thing if the players of an outside person pays for it then what's the issue?

The issue is that u Just cant have no rules about money or the richest just buy the championship with highly Paid coaches, managrs backrom teams, etc etc  - so you Want no rules on money?? would like to ref a Match with no rules???

Are you sure about that?

LD had the big heavy fella from Tyrone
Aggies had tiffi quinn errigal Ciaran
Johnnies Marron from Moneyglass
Teresa's big lad from Ahoghill
Ardoyne Ross carr

But you carry on BGM

What Marron? And what lad from Ahoghill?

What club hasn't had some form of outside management or coaching?

Whatever club Belfast Gaa Man is from wouldn't dare to have had...

yip we struggle to pay the lEague fees nearly every year
