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.offalys future2 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 9:10 am 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.

" There is a lot of talk about strategic plans and those things are important but it is airy fairy stuff. A Strategic plan is grand if you can implement it but we have two strategic plans in football and hurling which we are implementing"
you honestly regard yourself too highly. As if your opinion will have any outcome on what happens on the 10th anyways.Lone Shark wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 10:44 amIf 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.offalys future2 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 9:10 am 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.

I never said it would. That doesn't mean I drop my professional standards.offalys future2 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 11:42 am you honestly regard yourself too highly. As if your opinion will have any outcome on what happens on the 10th anyways.
And now that I've talked to the two of them, and presented their views to readers, I have my personal judgement. I've no issue sharing it with anyone who asks in a private capacity, but I'm not going to post it publicly, on here or in print.offalys future2 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 11:42 am "Again I will stress that until I talk to MD for the paper, and he's suggested to me that he will be happy to do that later this month, I'll reserve my personal judgement"
Let's tease this one out. The GAA is the ultimate democracy. If a Club's Co Board Delegate is going to OCP and choosing to vote according to his/her own personal choice, instead of voting as mandated by the Club Executive, then there is nobody else to blame here except the individual members of that club who elected him/her to that role. Accountability starts and stops with each club member. The only public opinion that should matter here is the collective of those individuals who are paid-up active fully-engaged members of the 41 GAA clubs in this county.NewEra wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 3:14 pm 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.
