in an amateur game or in a functioning professional sport where fellas had proper contracts id agree with you - but this is the LOI… i mean what goal bonus are these lads on? - it could be 10/15/20% of monthly salary- the salaries arent exactly great and they’ll take it… plus you have the whole thing of lads playing for contracts… their owner wont give two fucks about integrity or athlone… id imagine he wants every man respecting their employment and doing their best for the company… the players know damn well… under vimy perth and john gill they might have pulled up but this is senior hurling now in terms of how they are earning their salary- those two jokers were turfed out
Hulsizer id imagine is delighted with this - you keep the man happy - especially when all he is interested in is profit and id imagine not to be playing to the whistle wouldnt be in his book
remember Denis Behan back in the glory days when Arkaga were around - was he on something crazy altogther for goal bonuses can you remember?
jesus he was some frustrating player - can you remember that 2007 season - he got the winner in the cup final v Longford but there were games where cork owned the ball and couldnt score like Linfield in belfast and there was a 0-0 v drogheda in the X… Denis would be up top and nothing would be happening - especially if Roy O Donovan wasnt playing
