The judge pointed out: "In the absence of a tender process and contracts being signed, no work is going to commence in the immediate future".

And If it doesn't go out again for Tender the other 5 companies will have it back in court, so at best another 4-5 years away, and how much will it cost then?

What is it with Belfasties and pronouncing it Aghnagallon. You'd think they'd be able to say and spell it right by now

I was talking to MR2 in the social club before hand. He had a Creggan half zip on! Not sure what that was about! Anyway I pulled him on his pronunciation of Aghagallon so I think he's taking the piss here by writing Aghnagallon. Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit. Anyway, there was a queue of people standing looking to give him a slap. He's wound some amount of people up over the years. I think he enjoys being the pantomime villain.  I hope he enjoyed the celebrations in Creggan last night.

He laps it Up

Its a simple scenario  " The more things change, the more they stay the same" the SV concept raising funds has been very successful and to be commended however and not to labour the point but below the initial senior positions its the same people for years and years just with different titles, couldn't do it then cant do it now... They need to purge the whole set up ... and before the usual rhetoric starts about volunteer's etc most of them have been doing this for so long god help them they've nothing else at this stage.... Fermanagh got it right in less than 12 months right people in the right place...

Refreshing Spike.... Chapeau!!

Totally agree B O B rumour has it the bumbling buffoon SF from CHC was all over it like a rash, anything to help his own club, CD and TR need to watch their backs....

Absolutely fantastic results now all we need us the Honey Monster beaten for VC and what a new dawn for Antrim something we can all get behind again.....

Jesus lads use have been busy and like sleeping gaint i too have been watching with interest. Where is Geteven? I thought this platform would be perfect for him as he has made some tremendous points this last few months. This process is rotten and i cant believe the sheer conflict of interests that exist in the arena.

I can confirm and you heard it here first!!! Mr Lennon and Manley has the County Hurling Managers/coach job!! CS been doing some travelling these days.

PJ will be getting no county job, allegedly our county secretary has been running on the QT down to Kilkenny offering the TRINITY mens funding to this profiled individual,  he's stiffing  PJ and for a club as strong as Loughguile to let him behave in such a manner beggars belief,  but hey don't worry the wee  chairman that never will be will have a word!!! Jesus no wonder we are a laughing stock up and down the island.

New County Chairman race hots up at last,  see the county money men backing allegedly J Donnelly St Johns, wee J may struggle with that one, X chosen one Ray M also throwing his whistle in the ring, now all we need is a new County secretary and job done, what ya say GETEVEN?

Can I just say I tip my cloth cap to those in the CE and friends of casement in their introduction to the table allegedly the opportunity now to bring in the last remaining sport to insure casement parks survival or whatever name they agree? I for one would welcome Donegal Celtic to the stadium its membership with the FAI and look forward to watching Bohs, Derry City or Shamrocks (11 a side)! Maximise its potential and generate more revenue to insure dunsillys future. Well done lads........

Popped in to watch a training session while in the area, bigger crowds at a Shams training night that at most league games all year, some belief and atmosphere it has to be said.

Some free for all at Gorts v Sars, expected it to be competitive, good result for Gorts needed a more capable Ref for this one.

Geteven & C11 its been a pleasure and a privilege thoroughly enjoyed the crac, C11 as brucie says Keeeeeep guessing..... 

 Geteven: lex non distinguitur nos non distinguere debemus so I enjoy my own council I would say anyone who PM's you is trying more to find out about you than I they all want to get an edge and they have been trying to find out my identity for a while its amusing to say the least, I keep no friends for the exact reasons you previously listed apart from my dog he is more dependable 

I asked for your stance on the social club to extract your knowledge on the present issues, many come to this site and defend some/all of our mandated officers, thus the glove to C11 in my last post, I will however wait to see what the media decides its going to inform us of in the coming weeks and we can all Judge for ourselves   In addition to the Irish Times (Costa), I was recently recommended a great book by a colleague Machiavelli "The Prince" great read/stocking filler for Christmas Geteven.

["this casement thing was keeping me up"]

Geteven credit where credit is due your rhetoric is supberb I have no interest in casement park I couldn't give a fiddlers if its never built,  however I cannot abide the bullshit that is being peddled in the papers and media by all these dictats misleading the public as well as the gaa volunteer's up and down the county. Spillane is right its time the gaa family take back their association and get rid of the suit's and pic pockets....

For someone who reads the papers, sits up half the night because "this casement thing was keeping me up" and who also contributes to this thread to say they "couldn't give a fiddlers", I detect is extremely misleading on your part, and primarily a veiled deflection.

To align yourself to the verbiage used by the likes of Spillane, is also of major concern.  Do you think Spi*****e, O'R****, B****y et al, have not picked pockets along the way, in line with their pursuit of media attention seeking and notoriety??

Its the real 100% bona fide volunteers who own the association and who keep it thriving and alive, those who do it for no monetary reward whatsoever! A commendable raison d'etre in my opinion, can others say the same, I fear not?  But hey, others are not all real volunteers.

Well, back to my coffee in Costa and to reading my Irish Times, a more discerning read.  Have to kill time waiting on her in doors finish the Xmas shopping along with the kids.

In answer to your original rebutal I always was of the opinion it was a Trojan Horse and the suits and dictas would always have approached in a  aut viam inveniam aut faciam attitude, so no veiled deflection on my part geteven. The pundits i would concur totally but a broken clock is right twice a day as they say... your raison d'etre statement is i believe in the modern games,  now a utopian ideology. Unfortunately for us all in this day and age when local clubs are having to find £100's weekly to maintain snr teams that pressure on the volunteers then falls back on juveniles and there parents to run fundraisers all year round etc etc. People talk about elected/mandated officers and the sterling work they do granted but those golden nuggets are few and far between, as we all know the dictats and pic pockets are like all democratic entities out there elected by the minority not the majority a chara.... And as Karl Marx once said " the government is but a committee for running the common affairs of the bourgeoisie" the GAA, Shinners, Catholic Church and so on are no different. Finally keen to know your stance on the Social Club in casement, Right or Wrong? Off for a doze these early mornings are a killer!!


C11 we will see how many of you close friends come out unscathed in the near future, looking forward to see what they ask you to post on their behalf LOL... Im sure i can sniff out a few truffles for you Oh and BTW i hear your favourite ref may be back on the scene in the near future your lads shud watch that space
