Laois County Board - General Discussion

[Laois345]

Said I'd create a post to discuss the county board and its current, past and future state.

I see Brian Allen was elected vice-chairman last night ahead of Tony Bambrick. I find this to unbelievable.

Tony Bambrick is fairly progressive and done a great job at pushing through the evidence-based restructuring of the football championship.

What is Brian Allen going to bring to the table that he hasn't already? No disrespect to Brian.

We are going back ways.

Yep, nothing fresh about that appointment. As a hurling man, the best thing I can say is that at least he's from a hurling club. Honest to God - no one must want these jobs?!

[Leixman]

Well Tony Bambrick wanted the job. As usual the hurling clubs up to their old tricks. The same hurling clubs who wanted more 'senior' teams in the top tier championship? Same old dung with hurling clubs who have the same old diaspora attached to them as per the 1900s

[Laois man]

Football clubs have 16 senior teams this last number of years and about 6 of them won't win the intermediate Cship.

What a ridiculous post.

When you wonder why integration is going to be a struggle, take one look at the controversies that have afflicted both of the female organisations just over the past couple of weeks for example. Fixture clashes player unavailability refusal to re-fix games when scores are obviously being mistaken by the Referee. How on earth do they think integration will happen when the two female organisations can't appear to get along and then you have a Club who are intent on putting their foot on the throat of their fellow parishioners over a genuine Referee mistake.

I commend the Gaa for pulling the handbrake until these organisations sort themselves out.

If the LGFA and Camogie associations can't cooperate, never mind merge, what in the name of God would the GAA be doing joining with them.

Brave and selfless of Tom Ryan and Jarlath Burns in fairness, to do the right thing, despite attracting negativity
