The Gaelic Football Thread

Sean Kelly basically used his article in the examiner to support option b but say that they'll all realise eventually his plan from 2015 was excellent and will bring that in in a few years. Chirst but that man is a tit.

Best gaa president in the last 40 years and a man with a bit of vision and ideas…….badly needed especially after the last number of years of total lack of leadership from the likes of cooney, horan, O’Neill, Duffy and Ryan…….the organisation is just standing still over the last while

Both motions defeated, back to the status quo.

That's the opportunity to kill the provision council stranglehold gone for a generation I'd imagine.

Ulster says No. As usual. Pity because it was a great opportunity to make season more interesting.

Disappointing, but predictable.

Too many conservative committee-types still running the show in various Provincial Councils and County Boards. There is a growing disconnect between these dinosaurs and players & supporters.

Hardly anyone who agitated against Proposal B came out and defended the current set-up. They were just anti-change or in some cases - here's looking at you Kerry, Mayo and Galway - protecting the status quo for their own betterment, rather than the good of the game. You wouldn't expect any better from Ulster at this stage.

Back we go to the same boring turkey shoots in the provinces, including one or two finals. Players and supporters in the weaker counties going the motions for one or two games in the summer, before their seasons grind to a predictable halt.

The north as usual of course and those two fuckwits Mayo and Galway taking a short term ignorant approach destroyed any chance of change…..as for the provincial councils just a jobs for the boys jokeshop

His plan in 2015 is the best by far if you read it can t understand how it was neaver looked at have a read of it ...he was lets be honest the best president very progressive ..soccer/rugby in croker and the All-Ireland cub championships at Junior and Intermediate level with finals in Croke Park..

Total farce.

This result gives the much maligned GPA a chance to flex their muscles.
Yer man Reynolds the Leinster Chair man/person disputed the figures that Ger Gilroy gave him. 80% of players supported option B.

Parsons and co. should now make a statement of some sort if they are to retain any credibility as player representatives.
They won't of course, and the suits know that.

Do the players/GPA have no votes in Congress?
And the Middle East and Yorkshire have 2 each, same as Donegal.

Sounds like a missed opportunity.
Did they not have a debate where those who opposed it gave suggested changes?

Kerry, Limerick and Waterford not declaring their voting intentions seems odd - is that a sign they voted against?
I would have thought Proposal B would suit all 3.
