Everyone knows NCC to be a wummer yet most here keep rising to it.
[quote=“caoimhaoin”]I know the people who hate everything about Cork will glee at this post, but for GAA people this is in fact a very very sad and grave situation. It will cause two major things in my opinion over the next few years.
- Cork will become a football county by and large.
- The CCB will have even more control over Cork teams than ever before.
You should always be very careful what you wish for.[/quote]
I’m not taking the piss here but does anyone think that a ‘breakaway’ championship driven by the GPA might be a distinct possibility in the near future?
Like Gman, I don’t take any satisfaction from what’s going on in Cork but, like I said earlier, I’ve lost all empathy for everyone involved and simply don’t care what they do.

The country is too small to sustain it bandage.
I wonder what would happen if all the Cork players moved en masse to Kerry or London or somewhere and tried to win the AI with another county!

I don’t think the GPA would have that kind of clout in alot of the other counties Bandage. The clubs wouldn’t have it and I doubt the fans would either.

That’s a non-runner Dan as the transfers would never be let through, what County would take them, they’d be bringing their own management team and trainers and demands etc etc.
Maybe they could be like the Harlem Globetrotters and play Goal Challenges on a weekly basis moving from county to county spreading the Hurling Gospel.
[quote=“north county corncrake”]it saved the dog fighters 12k GBP in expenses by not training in dec-just because the players dont get paid through the payroll doesnt mean they dont get paid
I have some juicy details about syls finances that I cant put in the public domain but im sure you are aware of what goes on there re muldoons playing for them
The CEO is on a fuck load of money - I posted a thread on it
They make millions as a concert promoter
hardly the work of an amateur organisation
them, the church & FF are full of lies & blagardism[/quote]
The more things change the more they stay the same.
[quote=“north county corncrake”]20 players
1 night a week over 2 weeks as xmas off
12k
600 each for training to play the game they love - not the wages of real sportsmen but not amateur - throw in the free holidays -the jobs where they do nothing- the massive other expenses - the meals etc - the dogfighting rings -they would all be on 1500GBP a month[/quote]
Funny how you just throw numbers around to make your arguments seem real. I like the dogfighters touch as well. I’ll keep an eye out for you in Croke Park this year again. No need to hide behind your programme this time though.
Jaysus corncrake fairly blew the gasket in here, sorry I missed it, great stuff. Felt like he was gonna blow earlier on, its Annual Review time in the ol CS, he musta gotten a bad one, or else the bairn kept him up all night.
Super stuff, candidate for back to back IOTM’s for sure.
I think being Champion suits NCC, he’s thriving on it. I honestly don’t think i would have sustained that kind of idiocy for a month, that difficult 2nd month and all that. There is no doubt the better idiot won last time out in fairness.
says the man crying into his keyboard asking people not to look at the carkies situation with glee as it affects hurling as a whole
cry me a river
not a wummer at all - can you explain to me whenthe CEO who is on a fuck load of money (300K) signs the contract so celine dion can play in the gga stadium where exactly is this the acts of an amateur organisation
ill continue to pull people up on lies or hyperbole in anything to do with the scourge of Gaelic Ireland (Fianna Fail, The Catholic Church & the GGA)

I’d say you just assured the prize again this month. But again you don’t read properly. I didn’t say it affects Hurling as a whole at all, that was your interpretation. In fact if you had read it properly and connected the dots you would have noticed i was talking about the effects it would have on the clubs in Cork. I couldn’t give a rattling fuck about weather or not people think its bad for hurling in other counties or not, i don’t think it will to be honest. Tipperary were shit for years and Hurling didn’t die. Limerick, Clare, Waterford, Galway and Wexford are very much Hurling strongholds and they have been shit from time to time, yet Hurling has been as brilliant as ever.
All you do is talk through hole about St. Slyvesters and the GAA and what little you think you know from talking to the lads down the pub. I think you got dropped from some U-21 Championship team sometime (even though you probably didn’t turn up since Minor and played Soccer instead of going to the practice games) and your bitter about it. Or something along those lines.

Were you rejected by a GAA team who had a priest and a FF councillor as managers when you were younger or something??
something like that

Not a wummer- You do a good job elsewhere standing up for the GGA as you call it

the fact that only 8 counties play stick hurling & most of them are shit tells its own story
care to back that one up with facts?
this is the state of stick hurling - large amounts of the country dont play it or care for it- it hasnt really progressed or grown
of the teams that play
kilkenny good
Tipp getting better
Cork regressing
Limerick regressing
Wexford Galway solid
Waterford - may regress
counties that partake in stick hurling but where it isnt popular
offaly - 2 villages play
Dublin More basketballers than stick hurlers
antrim - no urban areas - excludes people on religious grounds
rest of the country
might get enough to have a team but little interest or skills
You stated that only 8 counties play the game but yet have outlined 10 counties that play it when you know there’s more you’ve left out. Very flawed argument.
Quick question - how many people attended the main match of the year in hurling in 2008 compared to any of the non GAA sports in this country?
Loving this, can picture corncrake chewing his keyboard as he types, really havin a bad day today! Keyboard warrior stuff
