Antrim Football Thread

[brendanbelfast]

You seem to suggest that if it wasn't mentioned on Monday by any club delegate then it will never be. Bear in mind that the membership of CSC were not officially briefed on last weekend's goings on until Tuesday. Believe me, it will come.

Sorry fella - you misunderstood my post entirely. It was a further commentary, and illustration, on top of yours and Bannside's re the to date apathy of our clubs and delegates.

[brendanbelfast]

County finances probably would not be in the same mess (as broadly hinted at by some on this site) if they had not been forced into the Courts by body of individuals who really had no rights of tenure on our property.

A totally baffling logic.

Our county executive undertook an illegal act when they closed Casement Social Club. That is why they were taken to court.....and lost.

By the same logic, the bar staff shouldn't have taken them to an industrial tribunal to obtain their redundancy payments because it would cost our county money.

The blame lies at our county's door, from start to finish.

It is similar to some of the guff that Brendan and other hangers on have been saying on other social media outlets. Apparently, if you do not accept our county executive's behaviour then you are not as much of a Gael as those who do accept it, no matter what you have done in your life for Antrim GAA.

Indeed, it seems that if you don't support the Casement Park redevelopment proposal for any reason- you are automatically not a Gael either.


Heil Heil.

That's ill informed and fairly ignorant to be honest, at least when it comes to my position

[brendanbelfast]

Which bit?

I know our Executive has made mistakes on this issue, and I don't 'accept' all their behaviour. I think too that nobody is without fault, and yep, I make no apology for resenting the fact that a group of people, some more interested in a boozer than Antrim GAA , could potentially hold up the development - and take great delight in bringing every twist and turn of the saga onto the media.

So, when you tweeted this:

@brendanbelfast: If the social club members at Casement are such dedicated Gaels why are they taking legal action which jeopardises the new stadium project?

You weren't calling into question the dedication and Gaelicism of people because they were opposing the unlawful actions of our county executive?
You weren't calling into question the dedication and Gaelicism of people who may be opposed to/jeopordising the development proposal?

I think my post above was fairly accurate. No?

No, actually I wasn't. I was doing what I said in my tweet, kinda simple.

[The Memory Man]

Hard station, it's not too often I agree with you and not because you're a Rossa Man!  But you are spot on, viva la revolution.  Time for change, I hope the clubs can put forward strong, credible candidates for the main positions. 

I assume the Secretary's job will be unchallenged as its a paid position?

I'm not advocating that a man loses his job, but surely there must be targets and performance measurements to be met? Everything else is heading down the corporate road, surly those in full time paid employment within the GAA must deliver?

[Mrs mills]

So, what can we do on the discussion boards to check the validity of the Sunday Times story that O'Neills has been outsourcing some of its manufacturing to Bangladesh and to implore the GAA to do something about it if true?

[bannside]

Work away and let us know how you get on.

[Mrs mills]

Capitalist or closet socialist then?

[Mrs mills]

Oh dear, I have just read your reference to wanting Malachy or Brian to take the reins at Antrim when they were available. Neither of these men would have touched the Antrim job, even when unemployed. Can you think of at least five reasons why? If you can, you are in touch with reality. If you cannot......

Aye right Hardstation and u will tell us all that the 'protest' which involves those members of the C S Club has nothing at all to do with greed, seizing an opportunity and the 'greasing of palms to go away'.
Take it on board Hardstation that most Gaels in our county have never visited the said C S Club and are not at all bothered about you 'dirty protest'.
Heil Heil.

Bumpkin, u are a bumpkin, u sh1t stir at every opportunity but never reveal ur hand, are you just a twat with too much time on your hands or do you actually have a proper reason and agenda to pursue. You always have the negative and antagonistic posts to give but no solutions or ideas to add

[country bumpkin]

My agenda....................well such would be to raise the status of my county and certainly this does not involve giving support to those who have dragged us to the British courts seeking pursuit of their own selfish aim...............which certainly is not in our interests and does not have the support of most Gaels within Antrim.
And as for stirring....................well I could certainly take lessons from you good self.

[stibhan]

Dragged us to the British Courts.... Jesus wept.

[country bumpkin]

Looking for logic Hardstation.................well.................Those bad boys in the County Board carry a full mandate for their actions in control of our affairs, and your club (if indeed you are a member of C L Gael) are included in such action.
Therefore (more logic) any action against and the cost of will be borne by the Gaels of Antrim (including your club)

Of all of those members of C L Gael in Antrim look on at the goings on in the Casement Social Club issue because they OWN the premises although most never have put a foot inside the bar (is that logical?)

Do you forget the reason for the establishment of the 'Casement Social Club' county officers duplicated the same positions in this ie Co Chairman, secretary and treasurer were cast in the same positions on the CSC.
When and why did the format of the CSC change and assume an identity of their own?

[country bumpkin]

Well Hardstation it is more than obvious that you are not a member of CLG and in matters involving such I wonder why you insist in making comment on matters which pertain to the Association.
Hope this is coherent.
