RG at arms length

Could potentially be opening up a huge minefield for the GAA as a whole.

Which is why Jarlath will issue a Mea Culpa of some sort and it will quietly go away.

That is a really interesting thought when paired with the Game Changer initiative that Jarlath was apparently guided by

Jarlath used Game Changer to throw shade, the consequences were felt in someones private life, the repercussions will play out to a greater or lesser extent in court

While Game Changer has its merits, I think the GAA need to step well back from community based whistleblowing-shaming of people for things outside the GAA domain, or in their own words "support the challenging and disclosure of abusive behaviours"

You would want to be very careful before making unsubstantiated claims of this sort because of the ramifications it can have, on this occasion Jarlath has victimised Rory

Club football managers were getting paid at Junior fball level as far bck as 1990. There's not a outside manager or trainer in the country not getting paid.

There's plenty of inside men getting paid too, but you are right of course.

I don't think this would change the legal position. I think the correct legal position is basically just ignored as is and no one usually wants to enforce their rights. I'd imagine RG is being told he kind of has to in order to make the defamation element of his claim a runner

No doubt a letter is been wrote up and sent to that club

Considering RG is bringing a court case about that, is not going to happen again 🤷

Wonder if he will be given the road or will there be any protests at his next club game.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread by tiempo  that Jarlath had made unsubstantiated claims against Rory G, what exactly were those unsubstantiated claims in that email? 

I didn't find anything in Jarlath´s email that you can hang your hat on, unlike say the recent Gerry Adams case.
It also came to light that the GAA club was inundated with letters of concern about Rory´s possible appointment.
Would you not think that Jarlath has taken considerable legal advice on the matter?

Star is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

Genuine question.

This must have happened in the old days. Player or manager while legally innocent was known to be battering the wife or whatnot. We're they ostracised or was it all just ignored?

Even when it happened in public with the physical abuse of Ulrika Jonsson by Stan Collymore it was ignored..

He even got jobs in the media!

Old Ireland view's unfortunately with people in clubs, it's none of our business attitude

In the late 1990s Mick Feeney is a case in point, was chief of Ulster GAA for years. Charged with serious sexual abuse of some of the many school children he had abused in Ballybay, Co Monaghan.
He pleaded not guilty, his name was not published, he had anonymity. On Ulster final day, though retired from office he could be seen in the privileged seats in Casement being treated as royalty.
Even though the allegations of his sordid crimes, some made against the top football families in the county, were 'public knowledge' he was feted at Ulster GAA events while awaiting his day in court.
The brother of one of the accusers did some work for the Daily Mirror, and that paper spectacularly outed Feeney with banner front page headline, with a 'we are naming you, sue us if you want to you pedophile ' attitude.
After that Feeney was blacklisted even though still innocent in the eyes of the law.

Eventually he pleaded guilty and on 2nd Nov 2000 received a paltry 3 year sentence.

Collymore wasn't ignored. It was all over the papers. Charges weren't pressed but Villa dumped him as soon as they could effectively ending his career.

My question was more the local wife beating bully. Were they gently nudged out of the club or was it ignored.
