Same story repeated. Issuing a call to the chairmen of the clubs to come meet them? What the fook is that about?
We feel that there is a sickness at the heart of the organisation in Cork which must be healed. It is not for us to apportion blame as to how that happened. We believe that the cure can only come from within this great organisation. In the meantime, we refuse to take part further in the latest manifestation of that sickness.
Absolutely nothing new in that statement at all really.
I did like the self-importance of this bit though:
In the terrible turmoil of the world at the moment, the one good thing which is becoming clear is that people are being forced, and are willing, to decide what really matters to them.
People are rejecting the old ways that got us in the various messes we find around us.
We do not and will not hold any ill feeling personally towards any of the people involved in Cork Hurling, including any player currently with the Cork set up or who might return should we so disband.
On a completely unrelated point, Frank Murphy has half his house rented out to his sister, her husband and their family. He charges them full rent and runs the house like a monastery.
NCC has a season ticket for the premium level in Croke Park art…He was trying to scalp tickets for the November rugby internationals on here…He wouldn’t slum it with the rest of us, although the amount of matches he attends in Croke park I suppose it makes sense to have a premium seat…
