You haranguer seem to lack the basics of the GAA with the constant references to allowing Seanie play at the highest level and Seanie should be able to play where he likes, catch a grip horseen, this is not the premiership. I'd venture that most posters here, as the majority of members of the GAA do, have a strong preference for this type of transferring not to be allowed and see it as a blight on our games.

Lack the basics of the gaa? Good man. You certainly, along with a lot of the others so vehemently against the transfer certainly dont lack the basics of hypocrisy.

These transfers happen all the time, at every level.  In this case, my issue isn't with any rules, including the transfer rule. Its with the application of these rules - they arent applied fairly. Not only are blind eyes turned most of the time, but the gaa actively encourage breaches  - see players hurling for weaker counties. Club footballers told to transfer to bigger clubs if they want to be considered for the county. The GAA know that this transfer, if seanie wants it to, will go through - the first request was denied merely in the hope that with the passage of time and acceptance, the media interest would die down.

So we have a rule that noone really gives a f**k about, until, along comes Seanie, decent player, denied top level football at the whim of a manager, wants to transfer to a team that may have a shout at Sam, everyone suddenly remembers the ethos of the GAA. When yous said nothing as it happened with players that didnt matter so much (its reassuring to know you were 'very much against' gallagher moving to cavan Myles, clearly a man of principle. you were pretty quiet about it tho) its very hard to take yous seriously now.

You're right, its not the premiership, seanie isnt getting paid. He still has to go and do a days work, then go to try to play a sport he loves, and now he knows that he is going to get probably the worst abuse any player has ever had to endure in any game he ever plays again, and in all likelihood, have this thrown in his face for the rest of his life,  because there are a crowd of arseholes who think gaa players owe them something. The more I listen to this indignant hypocritcal outrage, the more I hope he goes on and gets a f**king allstar

+1

why should he go back,the players nor county board didnt make a stand for him when he was clearly good enough for a poor cavan team after years of service,give the man his transfer and stop the shite

myles you say the ethos of the GAA-you are typical of a lot of GAA fans,jealous and bitter to seeing anyone trying to better himself or doing well.just cause the lad has a lot of talent dont be knocking him.he is amateur after all and not getting paid

What was fergie at playing park,he was completely off the pace,

Why don,t they just give the man his transfer.What are the GAA trying to prove by delaying it.Thats what,s wrong with the GAA ,officals that have nothing better to do than try and block a man playing that was surplus to requirements in Cavan and go and better himself with playing for a better team.Its amateur after all.The quicker players can transfer or play for whatever team they wish the better.He is going to get enentually

best wishes on a speedy recovery-the greatest player of his generation

i just got the feeling after the first game that Barca wern,t going to have any luck,they completely dominated but luck deserted them.that was anti football that Chelsea played wih everyone behind the ball and massive luck

what a disgraceful dive by Young,thats 2 weeks running he cheated and got 2 pens,no other team would get them decisions

i would go withe sean o neill followed with mickey linden and greg blaney

what a player,won AL in 97 basically on his own and much to paidi,s annoyance he needed him in 2000 to get them over the line.He was unlucky to play with kerry in a lean period but still always stood out and if he played in this current kerry team or the one in the seventies /early eighties he would be miles ahead of the other greats

He must be crazy going in there after the split with some players this year regarding the manager

he always thought he was too good to play for ireland and it was more of a burden for him,he was up the ass of fergie to much ,then fergie got rid of him when he got to big for his boots.now no one wants him

good player in terms of commitment but talent wise ireland and man had far greater

his son was excluded from the down panel and he has a bit of a go at management,claiming he,s one of there best

All the begging that was done to get him back,then this.
