I have a deep gra for Tyrone people and Tyrone football but yis are starting to sound like Kerrymen

[Kerry]

Kerry v Down (Down +4.5) Kerry BONUS
Tyrone v Dublin (Dublin +3.5) Tyrone BONUS
Roscommon v Cork (Roscommon +8.5) Cork
Meath v Kildare (Meath +0.5) Kildare

by...winning midfield for once??

Two men and a dog at the next game then??

[If I'm not mistaken he is a chemist by profession]

Gaelic Gear were very generous to London CB too back in 2005 or so but the real issue was quality. They just couldn't deliver a product that looked good, had quality and people could believe in. And it wasn't just their jerseys that were of poor quality. The t-shirts and track suits were pretty awful too. The Australian Board were also contracted to them in some way or another and all games at the State games were supposed to be played using Gaelic Gear balls. In general they would try and enforce the rule but it was like playing with an out-of-shape balloon. It's a pity that they didn't succeed as O'Neills really do have the whole thing sown up but at the end of the day, if your product isn't up to scratch then you have no right to succeed.
As for Campbell, I believe he is of Tyrone ancestry but not from there himself. Omagh I think. If I'm not mistaken he is a chemist by profession. I maybe wrong though.

Yes he is a pharmacist by trade....from the Springfield Road though I do believe his he married a woman from about Hub Hughes country

The owner of Gaelic Gear is not from Tyrone.

I'd heard he was.

Nah, not really a GAA man either, he just saw what he thought was a gap in the market.

The GAA withdrew the licence in March 2010.  The accounts to June 2008 showed losses in excess of £3mill.  The failure of Gaelic Gear is nothing to do with the GAA's failure to renew the licence.

Hello planet earth. Ignore the accounts / debts for a minute, but are you saying that a company like Gaelic Gear who are targeting the GAA market wouldn't be able to get out of the hole a little easier if they'd retained the license? Please tell me you're a civil servant.

How can you ignore the accounts?  AQMP is saying that the hole was being dug way before the licence was withdrawn, ie they weren't functioning even with the licence.  I just took at look at the accounts.  In 2008 they made a loss of about £375k.  But before that, the losses accumulated to that date were about £2.9m.  This is 3 years before the licence was withdrawn, plus it was not in the time of economic recession.  Liabilities completely outweighed assets.  The company was fecked back in 2008 and I dread to think how much money that poor owner pumped in.

Plus it's reported that he gave personal guarantees against some of the bank loans/overdraft.  Not pretty.

Usually support the Ulster teams except when it's Londondown

Who is to blame??  Whoever ran the company??

Phlegmatic

Down are the most successful Ulster County

Yip, it has to be Antrim.

We are the aristocrats of Ulster GAA right enough.
