GPA investigate plight of departed Clare hurlers following squad 'humiliation'

You won’t be fit to come back from that one @Boxtyeater, a knockout blow right there.

So the GPA should essentially tell Clare county board what to do & fire/discipline Davy?

What exactly can they do? Negotiate with Davy? That’ll stand the implicated players in good stead I’m sure.

I was looking at the clonlara roster trying to deduce who all the cloak and dagger is about, and came across this :

Further rooting in the shed and Fra stumbles upon Ger Reedy’s goalkeeper hurley from the 1975 decider.

“Darach Honan and John Conlon would bring their hurleys down to me when they were younger and I would touch them up."

So what you’re saying is that a players union is worthless and impotent in sticking up for players being treated shockingly?

When are those rules coming in for IC managers having to be Level 2 coaches? Or is it in?
Anyway, while technically he may not be breaking rules now, he most certainly will be then as he will also have to sign a form promising to adhere to certain lines of conduct.

But I would say he is at best being an embarrassment to his employers, LIT, at worst breaking their code of conduct.

In this instance, most definitely , I would say.

It turns out in most instances they’re pretty useless. Unless its organising jaunts to America for its special core group of members.

No argument here.

Who is he

No that’s not what I said.

Inter county GAA is not the equivalent of the workplace. It’s a hobby. There is no legislation, apart from the official guide, that governs it. If he hasn’t breached anything then what are GPA gonna do? Tell him he’s a shit manager?

So why would they need a union then?

That’s totally untrue but carry on.

Sure.

GPA mustn’t have given you the hoodie or something.

Thats totally untrue but carry on.

How can the gpa resolve this impasse?

Your point seems to be they shouldn’t get involved. That to me seems laughable given what they claim to be.

Hilarity ensues.

Laugh away then. They can advise the players all the want but an investigation. Fuck off.

@caoimhaoin , it’s Colm Galvin.
