Have to say I agree, no idea what he's playing at. RG is going to be hounded out of the GAA forever and a day by the looks of it. Will he have ever served his time in the eyes of the social media for his alleged actions?

He had some fun with some men playing in Derry years ago who done serious time. We had player troubles in the county, plus few from Limerick. He stayed dead silence on the issue in the Armagh county team. Does he weight in when it suits him, when he can't sort out the gaa rule book on discipline issues. He want to change the name of certain clubs based on who they named after nxt?

He's already hinted at that

Totally agree. RG is being black balled. The trial by social media is a disgrace. Burns wants to be the Mother Teresa of the Gaa when it suits him. Makes me wonder what he said to the Derry board when Muldoon and RG were getting lined up.

Think Burns has overstepped the mark here as well.

I'm guessing you're talking bout people jailed during the Troubles here. Having a political record very different to domestic abuse (alleged in this case)..
although RG has not been convicted of anything so is no basis for whats happening to him... is hearsay.

Believe me, not jailed for a political record!

Ok... thought that's what you meant. My bad...

Wildweasel74

Oh political in that regard, but jailed shall we say for serious matters!

Where are you seeing this? I haven't heard that anywhere yet?

Wonder if Burns will speak up if a certain former Armagh captain remains on the panel this season.

I really only follow rte, bbc and hoganstand. They each have an article, but no mention of the Burns intervention. What are the sites saying about Burns?

Ah OK, I can see it now on the Irish Independent site.

The GAA themselves said Gallagher was free to coach but Burns says otherwise ? Did he contact Clonduff last year ?
