Sean was a tremendous President
He got rule 42 done.
Very progressive, a smart man. The All Ireland Club Championships are his greatest legacy
And the Rackard/Ring Cups
And tweeting a picture of himself ateing a burger after voting to leave refugees drown in the Mediterranean
I must have missed that Congress.
Was he President of the GAA when he did that?
Give him the job.
No. But it doesn’t make the behaviour any less cuntish.
When is the vote?
Tomorrow night
Stop making straw men
Didn’t Jarlath Burns once commend the Carraher family from South Armagh for taking on the British Army from their own kitchen, or words to that effect?
Burns favours removing the National Flag from games and doing away with the playing of the National Anthem. An Ireland’s Call merchant and a castle catholic. He’s Dick Clerkin with a bit more profile.
Larry McCarthy is a sound skin. I hope he wins.
Burns favours removing the National Flag from games and doing away with the playing of the National Anthem.
To be fair the anthem should be kept purely for comedy value. I love the Father Ted style recording they have at Tullamore. And of course the moderately attractive blonde young ladies in Ulster butchering it over an echoey PA system is a wonderful little tradition. Sure we have an entire thread dedicated to laughing at the anthem here.
And the Rackard/Ring Cups
Which that prick Nickey Brennan completely undermined by moving the finals to earlier in the year rather than as curtain raisers for the All Ireland hurling semi finals. Heaven forbid the Kilkenny minors wouldn’t get to play in Croker.
This is the problem with the system. The next man in can undo anything that has gone on before.
The count of the second ballot for GAA President-elect is in

Jarlath Burns 92
Larry McCarthy 88
Jim Bolger 55
Mick Rock 41
No candidate has achieved the quota so we will go to a third ballot.
Are you out canvassing for Larry?
A few notes have been passed around the floor. They’ll do what they’re told if they know whats good for them.
