So
They weren’t wearing Club gear.
They weren’t doing anything wrong on Club grounds.
On what basis did the Club have for kicking them out?
Because they are druggie cunts. Engaging in illegal activity. Bringing the club and Association into disrepute by publicly sharing themselves partaking in an illegal activity on a social media platform.

Moved to here -
It’s mind-blowing . You have shown how backward and simple country folk can be here - The right thing to do would have been to have a couple of sensible figures from within the club to approach the young player, sit them down and have an honest chat with them.
All you’ve done is alienated all young players and created an atmosphere of fear - Running lads in that manner doesn’t solve anything, it drives it more under ground… So you have now lost two young players that with the right approach could have seen the error of their ways, and fuck knows what other younger lads are thinking now, because you can be sure there is more at it. Your out of date approach is why a number of younger lads just can’t be bothered - dealing with backwards cunts that have no understanding of the modern world.

Watsapp isn’t Social Media, its a Private Messaging system.
Has the Club got a code of conduct?
This is the nub of the matter I was getting at. Instead of trying to help the youngsters, they have fucked them out in the cold so to speak. I am curious as to whether the Club has had any hand in this or whether it was just a few hard chaws acting on behalf of the Club, but in no way representing the Club. Its bad business this.

Every young person alive has done stupid stuff - every one of us here. The current lot and social media are unfortunate and stupid at the same time, but that doesn’t mean you don’t treat them as young people and afford them the opportunity to see the error of their ways…
Most Clubs will have an ASAP program and a Code of Conduct. Both are set up to facilitate helping people with in these instances. There should be an officer in the Club who can be approached to speak to the young lads. If this doesn’t work, then there’s steps you can take to deal with disciplinary issues in the correct matter. Bringing the Club into disrepute would involve them doing the activities on Club grounds or while wearing Club gear, otherwise, you’re into a whole other area.
A Club should be a safe place, these youngsters need the Club at this point, not to be tossed from the front step. There are proper procedures in place in most right thinking Clubs to help out chaps like this. Because thats what they are, chaps.
This sounds like a few fellas who’ve taken it upon themselves to act as a lynch mob of sorts because of a few young fellas being fucking gobshite snowflakes.
Club offered assistance and help on several different occasions, at least 3. Were laughed at.
Club has a code of conduct and also a substance abuse policy in place with 7 or 8 years, as all clubs should have and as advised by the GAA.

He has explained it on the rats thread… it seems he is working backwards with his story - not a totally unorthodox approach but it’s not helping him get his point across - the story starts with him threatening to break the young players’ legs and ends with him having an intervention and asking them to change their ways - but it happened the other way around in real life-
Case closed - the young lads are clearly scum because they laughed him. Time we all moved on.

At no point in the story did I say “I” threatened to break anybody’s legs, or in fact that I alone acted on anything at any stage. 100% club decision. The druggies were both told that their legs would be broken if they ever came inside the gate again (by fellow players) and dealt with officially aswell.
You would have thought that basic comprehension skills were a starting point for a scholar…
Presume this issue was brought before the Committee of the club? A club member cannot be got rid of otherwise numb nuts.
I dunno, all the progressive clubs are threatening to break their members legs these days. Its the new S&C.
Leg breaking for give them more time for dyson work at weekends, pretty stupid line of thought.
You were never a member of a gaa Club in your life, you are in no position to lecture anyone on how to rid scum from a gaa Club.

This issue came up before in a (non-GAA) club that I was involved with - a couple of teenagers were caught on a trip away with some hash. The adults were more of the “give them another chance” type argument but interestingly it was their peers who thought it was a step too far. Their view was that the club was one of the few places where they wouldn’t be under pressure to try drugs or have kids being influenced by that sort of culture - they knew they could go looking for it outside the club but that was one of the things they valued inside the club, that it was free from it. I think there’s a lot to that - this “its just a reflection of society” line is just a cop-out in my opinon.

I can confirm this is the case after a weekend in Dublin you can pretty much buy anything you want off these cunts.
Anyone buying stuff off a rickshaw driver need their head examined. They’re the equivalent of the jimmy jimmys in Costa del Sol.
