Well if they could find peace, for atleast one day, then maybe there could be some light at the end of this after all....(but with the cb involved, lets pray it's not an oncoming train.)

The Cork footballers got a set of medals for winning the Munster Final but they sent a letter to the Cork County Board on Christmas Eve to say that they were refusing to turn up at the arranged function to accept them.

They say this refusal is a show of solidarity with the hurlers.   Show of stupidity more like it, not alone have they degraded the Hurling, now they are saying to young lads that a Munster Final medal is not worth turning up for.  Talk about bringing the game into disrepute !!  Both the hurlers and the footballers should get a three year ban from all gaa games in senior football and hurling and that would sort the f**kers out.  Where is the respect for the county board now?  As far as I am concerned the GPA are up to their tits in this.

When I read this the first thing I thought was, why, if the footballers are not going to accept their awards in support of the hurlers, did the hurlers themselves turn up for the GPA awards at City West just a few weeks earlier to accept their nominations and in the case of Ben O'Connor, an award from the GPA?  Am I on my own here now in thinking that these boyos are saying, it is allright to accept awards from the GPA and not from the GAA??  Or has the brandy got me again??

Interesting interpretation of unwanted Christmas gifts.

You can get a free car at the GPA awards - all you get at a medal ceremony in Cork are lousy Munster medals - sure you can't make any money from going to that

in fairness its a pretty pathetic attempt by the cork footballers to be seen to be doing something. even if the UN were brought in all parties still wouldn't sit down ,but the players refusal to even sit down isn't helping matters either.

Typical response Reillers. When somebody says something negative which usually is the truth about the players, you get the standard Reillers nonsene repsonse - you know F--K ALL, you haven't a clue !!!!!!!    Pure class - please Reillers, think a wee bit - use your brain - and come up with something a wee bit different than this !!
