Jerome Ousted?

[Club Rossa]

I thought it was Hoganstand that he was posting on.

I thought it was this board to be honest. Maybe it was Hoganstand - but it's hard to believe that a discussion board lost him his job.

yip it was the hogan stand board,think alot of people put alot of self importance with this particular board.

I am almost certain it was this board !!

Hoganstand was mentioned in the Irish News coverage of the case.

JQ definitely posted on this board. It was no secret who he was either.

[Main Street]

It comes from JQ himself. However he is not proclaiming himself to be Mr GAA (as some posters here have rambled about)

I've read the quote numerous times now. That's how he saw himself within BBC.

All I can say is that you are totally missing the understanding of the context of the expression, by a country mile.

Yesterday's report in the Irish News would indicate again that he thought he was MrGAA. Shane Glynn referred to JQ making references to 'representing' the GAA community and being the BBC's GAA man. Comes across again as inflated sense of self importance.

The question was did he refer to himself as Mr GAA. The source was his opening delivery to the tribunal.
That is what we are looking at. That is the direct evidence that posters here are jumping on.
To my understanding, the self proclaimed Mr GAA tag, hung on Jerome's neck, is a load of bollix.  I have explained use of Mr Gaa in the context in his opening delivery  but I can't impose an understanding of context to you.

If you have some other source then post the link or quote the source accurately
So far nobody here has come forward to support the so called self proclaimed Mr GAA tag.

I am surprised there are 23 pages on this.

It's like this, Jerome broke the company's policy by denigrating them on a forum.  He got sacked.  The end.

Not quite IMO.

Although I think he'll lose he wants to show the BBC for what they are.

He wants to highlight the discrimination there was and is towards all things GAA.


Logie got UTV in the end.

Dare I say it but all Ulster championship games were on live last year and will be this year, also McRory Cup and is reports of games. Wat do we want? Is more live GAA games than Irish league soccer which I think only shows the cup final.
Also according to report today 67% of money allocated to sport goes into GAA coverage. I know it was terrible but things definently have improved a lot.   
Ok-fire away... I'm in a bunker!

I must have missed all of it.

[Hoof Hearted]

you have a point there fox, but i think it's the negative way they highlight the GAA which is the main gripe. Someone mentioned the McKenna Cup there, wont get a mention on a Monday, but if there was a 30 man melee it would be news headlines, not just sport headlines.

The question was did he refer to himself as Mr GAA.

Another equally valid question is 'is he trying to associate himself with the Mr GAA tag' in the eyes of the wider public?
 
The world of PR is a specialised and professional one involving misleading hype, smoke and mirrors and JQ is a professional member of this business.  He does not, I suggest, act in ignorance of that fact.

I have no doubt that he understands sowing the suggestion  that he is 'MR GAA' in any forum, esp one that will get lots of attention, willl help lead many into associating him with that tag.
 
This thread is probably the best example of how such an approach can confuse. Dispite confusion and regardless of the outcome of the case I believe he calculates that the tag hve sticability and potentially lead to future kudos.

In this respect he gets my credit because he is on a win win.  Win the case and he becomes the GAA minnow that took on and beat the Golaith BEEB, lose and he becomes MR GAA Martyr.  Clever stategy I say.

You can talk about Mr GAA this and that but Jerome Quinn has been incredibly naiave in this whole predicament.

To post against your employer like that in the internet was an incredibly stupid thing to do.
