Agree completely, it's disgusting how this ridiculous thread has been allowed reach 37 pages without getting closed. A more general thread about why an increasing number of players choose to opt out of county football or are retiring in their twenties would be fine but to specifically target one player because they don't conform to what you want them, is not right.

As long as there is no personal abuse then this and any other thread is fine.

I think this thread is a perfect example of why the likes of Jamie Clarke and others retire from intercounty football and football in general.

• Dedicating their lives to the sport
• Not getting paid for it.
• Having to listen to absolute tripe from people who probably have no clue about the pressures of the game at the highest level
• General small mindedness

Was there small mindedness in Cavan when Seanie Johnston exercised his right to do as he pleases and moved to Kildare? Sporting heroes can delight and exasperate their own fans.

Surely Rule is broke here by yourself.

2. Libellous/insulting posts about a real person
   In this day and age, many more people are becoming aware of the existance of boards such as this. While this is generally a good thing, it also means that the posts are
   more likely to be read by a casual visitor to the site. In these circumstances, the board must protect itself against allegations of libel, or defamation and so any posts
   which make derogatory remarks about a named, or clearly implied, individual, are a serious breach of the rules, and dangerous to the board itself. This particularly applies
   to individuals' private lives, finances, legal issues etc etc. This also applies to unwarranted abuse of GAA players and officials.

So you think it's correct to berate Jamie, you sound like another lovely human being.  Kettle, pot and black spring to mind.

Did Jamie transfer to another county and fabricate an address there? If not then there is no comparison to be made.

[T Fearon]

No but Seanie merely exercised his right as Jamie did and suffered criticism as a result.

Pointing out hypocrisy isn't trolling.  By the way does your y and o not work, what age are you - 12?

No, I have no issue with whether Jamie plays (or not) its his call. I just hate the trolling that has become all too commonplace on here its making the place borderline unreadable...

Lads dont bother responding to this topic and he simply go away

[under the bar]

I agree this sniping negative comments about JC is not on.  I for one commend his decision not to play on a 3rd rate Armagh team. The lad clearly has standards.  Good on you Jamie.

[T Fearon]

His absence contributes to the below par performances.Do you not see the irony?
