The County Board Complaints Thread

I see a motion stopping transfer up in grade to the 1st club of the father passed

this stinks like the minor motion of a few years ago

all clubs are equal but some are more equal than others it seems

In this day and age that rule shouldn't exist full stop.
In certain cases I'm not even sure you could definitely prove where a lads father's first club was. If he only went down training for a few weeks and packed it in, would there even be a record of him in a particular club.
Also why father's first club, what about the mother? I'm no expert on the law but If that rule was challenged legally I'd assume it would be torn apart

or maybe its time to consider your ability to understand banter between two old friends

Sure.

And I think you should give up the hurling entirely as well.

In the 70s & 80s there was a fair few rural clubs that had girls playing up to u12, even into the the 1990s it was happening.
In a lot of these parishes there was no camogie or ladies football clubs, so girls played away on the boys teams. After that if they wanted to continue to play they had to go to the closet club with a ladies side.
I'm fairly sure Breege Corkerry played with Aghinagh boys before she ever played with a ladies team.

Cork GAA paying €100,000 per annum to Páirc Uí Chaoimh for office space

At Tuesday’s Cork convention, treasurer Diarmuid Gowan drew attention to the county board paying over €96,000 per year to Páirc Uí Chaoimh for office space

Is this some kind of three card trick?

Funniest ever, pay rent on something we own. Classic.
Or it's some mighty fine accounting hiding payments... Frank's rainy day fund

Were they registered players?

I'd say that's standard enough in anything that operates as a business.
I know a gaa club in Cork who used to invoice the underage section for using the club facilities, bar for medal presentations, etc.
I'd imagine it's an accounting practice to keep things open and transparent

They would have been
