So in all that time when you were harping on about a waste of Offaly GAA funds you had no idea what you were on about?

There may be a number of issues at county board level but transparency is certainly not one of them.

So you don't know then?

My argument was not predicated on inserting games anywhere, I simply agreed with what I believe Pat Cleary was saying in that players and clubs suffer when their players are unavailable to them throughout championship season and that players should not be wrapped in cotton wool for the sake of a pot...

(a well thought out piece there LS from years ago - that agrees that it could be structured better by not having a dis-jointed championship as a result of a one off round at the beginning of May or were you waffling too? )

It is not waffle to say it can be structured better when something as simple as not even playing round 1 would fix the gap. And Mid-week games are not a re-invention of the wheel as you make out but if you impose a no mid-week rule on me then I can't fit in without playing a week before county match...

OF - was your offer made six years ago or was it an offer to fill the admin role a few months ago or was it just an offer for the job that you claim was outlined at a CB meeting where the admin job would also have a part to play in a strategic plan (which was never the case by the way!) and I've ask...

Blitzes can be fun for 14 year olds but they are a bit hard on the body for the 30 somethings so I wouldn't really be a fan of running off the Senior Hurling (and Football of course) Championships in a blitz like fashion (unless the players get crisps and coke after the first game?). You picked an e...

I am not saying this is a 'huge' problem for a second but every little helps. You cannot simply dismiss what they do in Tipperary by narrowing your focus to the predominately hurling area in the North of the county. On EACH of those 4 weekends where they played senior club championship the matches i...

Who is a county board delegate? You?

Did you raise those questions with your club? Or do you think this is where things are done?

when in fact our county players have had just as much club activity as the hurlers/footballers in any county out there In Tipperary, to give just one more example, they played club championship hurling on at least 4 weekends in that same period that we played none. We are far from unique in having ...

Your delegates are there to represent your club so did you raise it at club level at least in an attempt to get your delegates to raise it as an issue? To answer your question, do you seriously expect me to raise concerns by saying that I know or sort of know of a forum poster from somewhere or othe...

Did your own delegates not raise your concerns at the meeting?

Your last paragraph alone shows that there are options that can be explored. The 'type' of championship that you are against, where a full round is not played off together, is exactly what they do in Cork to keep as many club players playing as possible and it doesn't do them any harm. You also refe...

Firstly I believe (this should go without saying but for your benefit) I believe that both codes should be treated the same. I certainly don't see anything wrong with a player being expected to play a code for their club 10 days before he plays for his county in another code. Or a better way of doin...

LS- So I found one then? The simple fact is that a number of players were involved in Club Championship hurling in Cork between the two Waterford matches alone and there was no issue. This is not running off games in dribs and drabs. And it’s not that we are not in a position to do this, we don’t do...
