Jerome Ousted?

[Minder]

so whats the latest is jer gonna get a few quid? is the BBC gonna start covering gaa games? parity of esteem? will we get a mention before the ladies hockey or after the bog snorkeling? I'm confused

Are you completely blind??? I appreciate during the year that the GAA doesnt get a great pile of coverage but for Gods sake it shows a live GAA match EVERY week of the Ulster championship!!! This is more than any other sport gets! As members of the GAA we need to stop trying to feel sorry for ourselves and moaning about how badly done we are - its a little bit embarrassing at this stage, especially when people make comments like Lawnseed which is just plain b*llocks!!

Well said.

Going by how that PricewaterhouseCoopers Belfast case is being reported at the moment, Jerome should have tried a few FOI requests for the emails between McGlynn, Watson and Carragher.

Exactly.

This is how another discrimination case involving a high profile presenter won his case and which never saw the door of the Tribunal.


All was settled nice and quietly with no threat to their advertising revenue !!!.

To me theres different types of coverage and the BBC keeps GAA coverage to the minimum on mainstream programming and channels

Sunday afternoon on BBC2 is all well and good, but their coverage and marketing of the sport on news/current affairs programs and local internet is far from acceptable when compared to irish league football and the likes of the north west. This tells me they don't want to properly represent the popularity and attraction of our games and culture to a wider population and only offer a behind the scene service to those who know about the orginisation already.

Firts smart comment on this in a long time.  Orangemen for Christsakes to you believe Jeromes motivation is money or an out of court settlement, its an attempt to give a bloody nose in public to the bBC for their ogoing discrimination against the Irish license payer.   He is just the fall guy.

Havn't heard much about this case for a couple weeks now, does anyone know the outcome of Jerome's case against the BBC?

I'd say he'd take a cheque if it was on offer. Just like Logie did.

Yes he wants to give BBC a kicking in public as well.

Cavanagh got it in 2008. Healy got it in 2007.

What the fcuk's wrong with bog-snorkling?

In the west its known as Hyde Park.

[lawnseed]

wires crossed here oops. but i read that fullerton did not think a gaa player worthy of the award. he was one of the judges. so its fair to assume that no one has a clue whats happening or that no decision has been made yet
