McGeeney's a member of the GPA isn't he? Sure he could hardly break the picket. I wouldn't have expected him to.

Former secretary I believe.

There was an interview with Geezer in the Irish News this morning so his silence didn't last too long.

The GPA ban was only to 'broadcast' partners of the GAA for the Leinster and Munster finals yesterday. The players were giving print interviews all week.

Is McGeeney supporting the footballers so that when the Managers strike in order to get a small grant or better mileage allowances he would like the players to support him?

He will hardly need it.

Which is why I find it ironic

And why the whole thing is a joke ...

McGeeney won't do any interviews today ... GPA member/supporter ...

Am I the only one who finds that ironic?

disgrace that your manager would not speak to the media, mcgeeney needs to wiseup as he only letting himself down


Exactly - they're only making eejits of themselves. And losing friends and respect. How much MORE is Mc Geeney looking ?

Is he a Full-time GAA manager BTW?

Full time expenses anyways.  ;)

Well then he should be doing interviews

There's no doubt that Mc Geeney believes in the GPA cause and he's well entitled to. But he's not a player anymore as far as the GPA are concerned. He / they are using sympathisers to get their message across when they'd be far better off just sitting down with the GAA and follow on from the discussions that took place last night on the Sunday game. The GPA have made progress but they risk losing support and alienating people by engaging in silly, school boy tactics like refusing to talk to RTE or accepting a MOM award.

What do you reason is in it for McGeeney then to be siding with the gpa Orangeman?
