Yep, I could have sworn that Breheny was advocating the calendar year league for years.Plain of the Herbs wrote: As for Breheny, it appears he finds a sole voice (perhaps the Irish officer of the Cavan county board, for example) who has an opinion on something like this, and writes a full page about how this is the way forward. Only recently, he quoted some fella who wanted to return to having league matches before Christmas (who in their right mind?). I'm quite sure Breheny spent years advocating the playing of the league in the one calender year, prior to its introduction.
The man runs down the GAA for the sake of it. The FAI and IRFU couldn't have dreamed up a better fifth coulmn planted within the ranks of their rivals.
Pity his destructive agenda seems to catch on. He has now been emboldened by "winning" the Rule 42 debate and now introducing professionalism is his new pet project.
Running down Offaly's hurlers gives him another reason to crow about "hurling on it's deathbed".
Promoting the footballer's strike helps him put the boot into GAA administrators and furthers his drive for professionalism.
When you need a crisis, he's the man to call in.
