Now we're aligning pensioners getting raided in the night to managers getting cash in hand from money collected through local fund raising (which I'm against by the way). Catch a grip...create a separate thread if you'd like to discuss the latter issue.
I to know of no active GAA man within 20 miles of me who is involved in criminality of any sort. Your club/community must be in a sorry state if that's the type of individuals who are part of it.

For no reason, other than that I'm reminded and I love the line - Leonard Cohen:
Hank Williams ... a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song.

Vigilante justice is a bizarre form of morality that I would want no part of.
I only recently joined this forum and joined obviously because of my interest in GAA. The GAA role in this saddens me. I am familiar with GAA clubs accepting funds from sources they know are not legitmate. I also know players and managers who are feted as heroes and as upstanding citizens when the widely known reality on the ground is that they are involved in activities that range from financial criminality to holding communities to ransom.
People need to stand up
Think this is a completely sweeping statement and not the reality for 99.9% of GAA clubs.
Were it not for the GAA providing facilities for rural communities, activities and social interaction where the f**k would the country be? Youth activities, keeping them off the streets and on the straight and narrow.
Start looking in D4 for the reasons of rural criminality in the south before you start landing it at the GAA's door. See the Assembly for the same in the North.
Of all the organisations you pick to point the finger at on this one you pick the GAA - Unbelievable
