RG at arms length

Punishment enough watching the team he built do the treble this year.

Quadruple, there is already one in the bag

Be a brave team takes him on tbh ..

Teams will be queueing up for him

probably get a lot of work behind the scenes away from media attention. Not sure we'll see him on the sidelines as a main man again.

Would say more about that club or county team if they appoint him as their manager in the future.

We see all kinds of accusations against multiple politicians of every hue continue in positions of privilege funded by the taxpayer and no one bats an eyelid.
And not only politicians but corporate personnel  also

That's interesting. So Ulster GAA couldn't debar him and so he's free to coach and manage.
I wonder why this took so long as I assume the debarring could have been brought to DRA at the time rather than Feb this year. Perhaps RG was collecting evidence or an investigation concluded?

He is in the same orbit as sue me Paddy Jackson, who never got to play for Ireland again

Ah now, that's a stretch.
Paddy Jackson had a very public court trial where he admitted to doing all sorts. He said consensual and she said not, he was found not guilty of crime, but certainly he was involved in act in question.

The RG scenario is a Social Media post claim with police saying they investigated and took no action (I believe). The online "facts" about things being well known could well be gossip because as far as I know he has never been found guilty of anything.
This is a case of public opinion based on social media content and not necessarily on any facts.

"Gallagher had been temporarily barred by the Ulster Council as they commissioned a safeguarding panel to look into domestic abuse allegations pertaining to his private life."

Not really sure what the point of this was. If they catch wind of brown envelope payments, drug use, various forms of abuse etc.., I wonder is this just the start of the panel's investigations into member's private lives?

The allegations of abuse were made in a very public dramatic manner, the GAA had no other choice, they are mandated to investigate allegations of violent male abuse against women and while the investigation is ongoing the accused has to stand down. But it should have been a country wide sanction.

While ex Ulster gaa president Mick Duffy was being investigated for serious child abuse cases he still was allowed to mingle and shake hands with the high and mighty on Ulster final  day at Casement, while his now adult victims had to witness that, i.e. until  a journalist brother of one of the accusers persuaded a newspaper to out Duffy.

Would Derry have taken him back if this happened earlier?

Maybe he'll join Mickey's backroom team

Would Derry have taken him back if this happened earlier?

Yes I would think they would as they seemed desperate to hold on to him despite the public allegations.

I think the comparison with Paddy Jackson is bang on. RG had his own court case albeit more private and the outcome was inconclusive as his wife didn't turn up which left RG off the hook. I think most clubs and counties wouldn't touch him now but there will be a few who will, no doubt.
