it's not realistic for most clubs to hold their AGM before convention [/quote] Is it not a requirement in Official Guide for club to hold AGM before convention ??? [/quote] It is - however it's a rule that's widely ignored, and in many cases it's ignored because in order to have your AGM held befor...

Unfortunately I feel public opinion and delegate votes are not aligned for December 10th. If a vote of Offaly GAA patrons was held in the morning, I have no doubt whatsoever what way this would go but the hopes are pinned to club delegates and I have no confidence in their willingness for change. L...

you honestly regard yourself too highly. As if your opinion will have any outcome on what happens on the 10th anyways. I never said it would. That doesn't mean I drop my professional standards. "Again I will stress that until I talk to MD for the paper, and he's suggested to me that he will be happ...

so Lone Shark will give his opinion each week in print and on here and twitter every other day and when an actual real important issue comes up he is on the fence. Hilarious.

If you can't understand why it isn't appropriate for me to pick a side here, I don't know what I can say to you.

Absolutely agree.

But can am open ballot be called under the rules and bye laws

Edit I just checked the rules. Under gaa rule book 1 elections must be by secret ballot and via pr system.

Beat me to it...

I should have done this first - I just checked the official guide there.

Rule 3.11 (f) - Voting to fill the Elective positions specified above shall be by secret ballot and on the basis of the
Proportional Representation system.

That seems pretty clear cut.

Most clubs on the night will have three votes each if they manage to get three delegates to go and the top table one each. See my earlier post on the break down of the votes. I think it's 141 votes overall. I know some clubs have mandated their delegates to vote in a certain way but on the night it...

Can i ask a question regarding the Byrne vs Duignan debate. I know each club gets a vote but who actually decides, i assume it is the secretary but do they go back to their club and and decide or how does it go. What i am getting at here is like the All Ireland B as we could call it and the people ...

I did not personally abuse anyone..just made reference to to a pool of opinions on here who have always backed the county board yourself included. You were at the same political crap when people were calling for Bolands head. If Mr.Byrne and his buddies do get in again I suppose the only bright sid...

If Mr.Byrne and his buddies do get in again I suppose the only bright side of it is I can say I told you so in 5 years or 10 years time...pack of uneducated monkeys! Sure Offaly is flying it! I can't let this go unchallenged or not picked up - this is a disgraceful comment. There is absolutely no c...

It would be a good idea. But the season will never end. You want to have a very good fixtures committee and judging by the underage still going in November Offaly don't have that. Just on this, it's utterly impossible to try and get underage run off much sooner. Don't forget that due to exams, you ...

Make the Leagues smaller, less games, and throw this regional thing in early in season before real championship starts. I don't know if you're being facetious or genuine. If it's not "real championship", Offaly people don't care. The leagues prove this. There's not a notion of players signing up fo...

A few things people need to note if they want this to turn into a serious discussion. It can be done, but don't forget that Kerry is not a dual culture. (1) First and foremost, it won't surprise anyone to learn that if you are a county footballer, it's accepted that you probably won't play club hurl...

Duignan raised 800k apparently for the faithful fields. He was also part of getting ocp redeveloped. He has good business connections. I think he is worth a shot for reasons I outlined already in this thread. Lads are always giving out about County board and he is a credible alternative and lads he...

Lone shark I did not lambast him once in that post I have to give it to you your a great man to put words in other peoples mouth. Your first line was... Okay so I wont give you all the negatives on why Tommy is not the man to take us forward I think anyone with any brains would realise he is not. A...
