What county is St Brigids in?

Tbf he lives there and has played or coached years for them. However I have absolutely no idea why he needed to bring them and a paid manager into that article and I doubt many of them will thank him for it. You would think Mickey Harte was the first paid manager reading that.

Exactly the point. The hypocrisy is dripping off the man. He slags off all outside managers but left his own club at the first opportunity.

Are you saying people must stay where they were born for the good of the GAA.

Interestingly the argument in the article around manager has to be from same club/county is one I think would be very good - to prevent journeymen types picking up volunteers money. Would it work?

Journeyman manager becomes a member of club he intends to take the brown envelope from. Problem solved.

Plenty of eases fixes to that. i.e must have been a club member for the past 3/5 years on Foireann and can only ever be a member of one club

Could see that happening but might cut out a bit if you had to get a transfer and GAA then could monitor suspicious movements?

e.g. would mickey harte move to Derry if it was public that he was once a member of Errigal Ciaran, then Geraldines Louth and then Bellaghy Derry???

Yeah possibly. I am not against the idea of that rule at all tbh. But we all knowthe GAA world works if there's a way of getting around the rules it'll soon be worked out.

is it not a good thing for the game to allow people from better counties to work with smaller counties like harte and louth

Tyrone where a weaker county til Harte came along. Plenty of good people within all counties I'd the right drive is behind it from all quarters

Brolly is unlike Dungiven people in general, fairly savage on the field, fairly savage off it, he was the opposite, though good footballer, all the slabbing he does wouldn't go down well in Dungiven either.

Like most people in Derry, Dungiven people don't have any time for Brolly and his BS.

Itchy

He fairly shone a light on Michael Martins Hypocrisy during the week on twitter. Michael down "glorifying" an IRA attack on the RIC, "murdering" a number of them. Few weeks ago the same lad was criticising SF for commemorations and claiming they were "infecting" the youth of the country.

Only ever be a member of one club!

I assume you mean one club at a time?
