The GAA is a voluntary members organisation.
If there is genuine unhappiness with the management of the team, then there are ways to address this. The actions of the players is the wrong way and, from an outsiders point of view, seems to be at odds with the wishes of their members. If the members genuinely wanted to change the management they can raise the issue in their clubs, the clubs can raise the issue to the county board etc. and ultimately the management would be changed.
I dont know anything about Cork GAA politics, but it does seem like the wishes of the players are at odds with the wishes of the members.
There's a site where you can send messages of support to the players -www.upderebels.com
In truth, regardless of the outcome, Cork GAA is a bit like Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe. There won't be any long term peace or solution until Frank Murphy has gone.
I heard there were about ten thousand at the march in Town today and that Brian Corcoran and John Gardiner addressed the crowd. Any AAM members there?
Marion Finnucane had Gerald and Donal Óg on her show today for about half an hour.
Did anyone get the impression that Gerald knew more about the "leaked" document than he was admitting?
...As Leesider29 said, it's hard to explain the current situation fully to someone outside of Cork...
Do you think they would be interested other than in the way rubberneckers like to have a good look at car crashes?
what is it with cork and its "sportsmen"
the hurlers are on strike and wont play for their county because they want to pick the manager (D'ya know)
the footballers last year went on strike and refused to play for their county.
Stephen Ireland is from cobh county cork and wont play for his country and is making up dead grannies to get out of playing for his country.
Roy keane is from Cobh county cork and walked out on his country and then walked out on his club (after spending more money than Real Madrid and winning nothing)
sonia o sullivan is from...you guessed it...cobh county cork and in 2006 applied for dual citizenship so she could run for australia and then in 2008 managed one of australia's cross country teams.
I didn't go to the game today as I just couldn't justify paying €15 to keep the paid county secretary in the manner to which he is accoustomed.
The "official" attendance today was 2,000. This figure was released by the CCB. Local radio stations in Cork were reporting the attendance at between 500 - 800.
