Umpires
Will the umpires need a new third flag to signal the 2-point lineball score, maybe the "lonely" red flag they used for the International Rules for an Over, or should they wave the white flag twice, or maybe the two umpires should each wave the white flag once, or maybe they wave the white ...

Selectors
Maybe it's stating the bleedin' obvious, but this does seem like a good blend of Youth and Experience. Paudge's experience is unquestionable and he must be a good man to "read a game" a tthis point. To me, that's where a selector really has the best chance of influence, i.e. the ability to...

Congress
Although I'm in favour of changing Rule 42, I will admit that I'm not totally confident that the change WILL actually happen. Don't lose yourselves in despair yet Mise and Loughers. Dont underestimate the chances of a last minute development that could swing the vote (just like the last time). Dont ...

Rule 42
To answer Mise, I am actually in favour of amending Rule 42 to allow other games be played in Croke Park, with appropriate restrictions that I wont go into here again. My point on the first motion mentioned above was merely a technical one, i.e THIS motion wording is useless. However, I believe that...

Avatars
Question for the Administrators - why does my Avatar keep disappearing from my posts after a few days? I took the option to upload a local picture to my profile. It seems to work for a couple of days, but then it stops and all I get under my name is an empty box with a small red X. Go on, tell me I ...

Our wee county
Not trying to be disparaging, but I think Offaly has often suffered because it is practically on the "road to nowhere". By this I mean that only two National Primary Routes pass through the county; each does so for only a few miles, and with no disrespect to Horsleap or Moneygall, you'd ha...

TD's
God be with the days when our constituency returned Oliver J Flanagan to the realms of parliament for this country. Possibly the most powerful or influential TD from Laois/Offaly before the current Finance Minister. Thank God that "title" has been passed on. Regarding the primary responsib...

Re: Convention
On a general point of these types of motions, I can see why the GAA Past Presidents would have had a field-day with stuff like this in previous years. CONGRESS MOTIONS 1. We propose that Rule 42 (b) T.O. (1) 2003 be amended to permit the playing of field games in Croke Park, other than those games c...

Mise
Believe me Mise, I have no "vested outside interests" in either Rugby or Soccer. When I said I liked to watch them, I actually meant on the TV, and only if it's free and I'm not doing something else. I've only ever been to Landsdowne Road 3 times in my life; once for one of those American ...

I object :!: Have all of these motions been reviewed and sanctioned by the all-powerful Past-Presidents committee? Are they all in-order? Thought not! Then I propose a counter-proposal to the amendment of the Standing Orders, in accordance to Section 5 subsection C paragraph (iv) on page 15 of the C...

Sorry to disappoint you BnMm
I actually agree with virtually all of what Lone Shark said above. Like him, I can also see both sides of the argument and I can accept many of the concerns voiced by the "Keep Rule 42" side. Despite this, I too think that Croke Park (in particular) should be made available to other codes,...

Poll: Football vs Hurling
Seeing as we are one of the foremost Dual-code counties on the island, we should have a mix of fans who prefer one over the other, even if it is only a marginal preference. So let's test where our main loyalties lie. I've resisted adding too many options for those true "Dualists", but ever...
