@McCoyniall - Saval have withdrawn their motion for tonight's Down County Committee meeting calling on the county to withdraw from NFL and NHL.

Got no support from othe clubs. Common sense prevailed.

Unfortunately I think you are being serious

Im not tbh.  But my feeling on this particular motion is the harm it would do to Down football and hurling.
Had Down gone ahead and no one else did. Its automatic relegation to Div 4 in football, so at least 2 years Tailteann Cup. Would the management team stay? Would the local sponsors keep with them. Would Players commit? All the progress made in last few years Would go to pot.
The hurlers would lose out on div 1 hurling. May never get there again.
My view is purely Down GAA. Nothing else.
If that doesn't suit your view then so be it. Dont make ascertations of what you think I am. Think of the long term consequences purely to Down GAA and the players.

I agree snoopdog, im looking forward to going to Newry next Saturday evening. It doesn't mean im not sympathetic to the Gazan people, but Down pulling out of the National League competition made no sense to me at all and would have set us back years for the reasons you mentioned.

It would have been great if every county had followed suit, but hard to argue with those reasons.

Hope to seen plenty of Palestine flags at league games and refusal of captains to lift trophies with the allianz name attached would be great, even a refusal from players/managers to do interviews in front of the logo.

have to agree with this. It would need to be a mass pull out, not just one county. That said I wouldnt have minded seeing Down sent to division 4...........
