And formally defining in law that managing a county side is paid employment and all the implications that go with it.
A settlement doesn't have to be linked to any financial loss. Loss of reputation is the key driver.

Do we want a President to bore the entire country to death?
He is a civil servants. He would have to resign to run.

I don't think he has the name recognition. Another kite exercise.
You don't know the difference between a public servant and a civil servant...

Gavin would be widely known, despite what you think. Much wider known that Mary McAleese was for example. That won't necessarily help him.

Quote from: Truthsayer on August 13, 2025, 10:44:17 AMIs always people opposed to change .. exactly that.. A 'No' mentality. Believe it or not, I recall when rules were changed to allow frees and lineballs to be taken out of the hands and there was ones totally opposed.. Always 'no' men..
Usually the 'no' men are from Ulster!

Quote from: Cortoon on July 27, 2025, 07:09:13 PMCooper was overrated for starters. He could only do damage close to goal. Clifford can score from distance.

Different type of players. Clifford is about 6f 4 with a huge kick .
Yes different. Clifford by far the more complete player!

Quote from: BigGreenField on July 23, 2025, 11:57:41 AMInter-county players drive over €600M into the Irish economy & create 4,200+ jobs, yet, on average, they're €4,600 out of pocket annually.
How do they drive it into the economy? There's no external investment into the GAA, bar a couple of flutes like yer man O'Leary and JP McManus.

Any idea what really happened here? I heard that young scumbags were regularly having cider parties in the place and smashing it up.

In the last two minutes of the game, the clock should stop every time the ball is not in play.  :-\  :-\  :-\

No class shown here by Mayo. McStay was right not to give in to them by resigning.

Armagh will want to win this one. They've a chance to knock out one of the main teams who can stop them from retaining Sam. They'll go full strength.

Getting that win without the two key forwards was brilliant, particularly as it looked a big task with ten minutes remaining. Dylan McHugh delivered an exceptional performance.

Neilan gave Mayo plenty of soft frees throughout the game and the Mayo supporters thought they had it in the bag when they drew level. Their team didn't have the minerals to push ahead though.

The upcoming match against Dublin at Pearse Stadium promises to be a great occasion, followed by a likely trip to face a very beatable Derry team, and concluding in Carrick-on-Shannon, against either Armagh or Donegal.

Quote from: rodney trotter on April 28, 2025, 01:24:36 PMYeah it happened yesterday. Banty is making millions from housing immigrants, but has resulted in a lot of hostility.
Banty is not too popular up there any more. He now has millions stuffed into the top pocket of his check short and the towns aren't as pleasant.
