[longrunsthefox]

[Overthebar!]

hungy hoors

[tyroneStatto]

f**k I'm sick of this bullshit, if they don't want to play would they ever F*CK OFF!!



Pack of stupid c***ts, what exactly is this action in aid of?  What do they want? Have they even said?

would certainly agree with that.

A hateful bunch of cnuts. Jesus I hate greedy militant intercounty players. Cooney needs to put this to bed. I as a member will dig deep into my pocket to help make up any shortfall which would come about from reduced gate receipts when the striking starts rather than the whole association give into these scumbags trying to hold us to ransom. Cnuts


Lads for gods sake if you don't like it, you know what to do.  

[The GAA]

If they don't like what?

If they don't like what?

Playing.

[The GAA]

Have they an issue with playing?

I'm against the GPA entirely, but I can understand why it needs to exist.

Yet I can't understand the logic behind this move.

The only way a GAA player will ever be able to demand fees for his prowess at an amateur sport - no matter how small the fee - is if his profile can sustain it. Creating and maintaining that profile involves getting in bed with the media. Exploiting that profile involves - for want of a better phrase - taking it up the ass from the media.

Beyond this, every deal the GPA ever hopes to make "for the betterment of conditions for GAA players" hinges on the sponsoring companies getting appropriate coverage from the media.


Talk about cutting of your nose to spite your face. Irish media companies should very simply get together an refuse to cover the strike. That would be the best way to resolve this nonsense.

theGAA posting questions. Theres a first  

[The GAA]

simple enough questions i would have thought.

as usual, the simple facts get lost in the bluster around these parts. ffs some idiot even posted that he couldn't even say what they wanted - directly under an article outling exactly that!

They don't have a problem maintaining their profile in the hope they'll get something from it by carrying out actions like this. That means they don't have a problem playing. You're right enough!

We all know what the GPA want!

But maybe you could give us a point to point outline of what they're dressing it up as this time though because I'm a bit confused about when the GAA became FAS.

I'm not bothered either way, I think we all know at this stage what the gpa are about and if they're not getting their way out the toys go out of the pram.  I am sick to the teeth of their moaning and bitching about playing the sport they're suppose to love.  If they dont want to play would they ever f**k off and the jersies will be filled by boys who do want to play.

Can't be bothered with this.

"theGAA" doesn't read between lines lads so unless you have the GPA stating in writing that the won't play if they don't get some movement from the GAA on getting what they want then don't expect him to take on board what we are all saying

Someone looking for a point by point outline from the same man ...expect more questions than answers.

It is time for the GAA to wake up and treat this group of malcontents as the pariahs they are. There should be no recognition given to them or any contact entered into. Any Co.Players who find difficulty accepting this should be told to find somewhere else to play. The GAA will continue to exist without them and be here long after they are gone
