When does the show start ?? Is RTE showing it ?

[Reillers]

I meant in general, not in the poll and I don't mean 99.9% litterally. Christ.

10 pages of a statement ??

[orangeman]

Entire panel of strikers are there.

Cork hurling public have been in the dark for years they say. Maybe ?

Trust has been abused.

No pressure has been put on the players.

Invitations to all chairmen sent out.

If they don't get this, they'll disband.

They're prepared to walk away and take no further action.

They've tried to be honest all through the process.

Frank Murphy runs the GAA in Cork - not a healthy situation.
New leaders in Cork needed.

The players' reply to Gerald was made public by the strikers.

So this will be a big test for the Cork clubs.

Ga's statement was 15 mins long. Marched in like they would going on to Thurles or Croker, led by captain Ga.
Calling a meeting of every chairman and secetary to outline their view and telling them where they are coming from and imploring the clubs to take back the power from
the CB and have a proper debate that they just don't sit there while no delegates questions anything that's being spoonfed to them.

They are quiet simply not prepared to play until Gerald is no longer manager and they are prepared to sit there for 2 years if they have to. Not happy about Murphy.
Nobody questions him, very much a closed shop, they want transperacy, not secrecy because everything is like musical chairs in the dark.

Seany Mc Grath on now - they adore wearing the Cork jersey.

Did they come across as aggressive or were they more peaceful ?

Surely this will split the county right down the middle, clubs as well ??

Eddie Keher says the strikers' statement is full of contradictions - saying they're passionate and then walking away from the jersey is somewhat ironic ( Eddie's words ).
Eddie says there's a small number of players running the strike and the younger players are being towed along by the senior lads.
Eddie says let the older lads walk away and encourage the young lads to stay and play. Eddie says that the young lads out of respect, just go along with the older lads.

Seany was asked about the alleged pressure - agreed that younger plays do go with the flow. Cork he says could go for years without a SFC win.

The sad thing is that they could be going to Thurles in a couple of weeks time.

Eddie Keher has absolutely no time for the way these lads are behaving.

We never wanted to get into a media battle says Ga - so why did he go to Primetime ?

[orangeman]

Sean Mc Grath reckons there might be a split by a few of the strikers who might rejoin the panel ??

[Reillers]

We never wanted to get into a media battle says Ga - so why did he go to Primetime ?

FOr the same reason Gerald has whinged and moaned to the media for the past few months, to get their side out. It's fine for Gerald and co to do it but for the players..

[Reillers]

Where are you listening to it Om?

[orangeman]

Newstalk - great coverage.

Wasn't every club chairman invited to the press conference tonight? If so, how many turned up?
