If you disagree, disagree, but it's hardly a controversial view to say that different ways of working, different ways of thinking and a diversity of skills and strengths is a positive thing.

so no concrete evidence just your opinion.
for the past month you have slated people on this forum for sharing their opinion and wanting to endorse Michael Duignan without evidence and proof.

In the end the desire for change won out. Thank you Tommy for your effort over the years, and a very big congrats to Michael.

You will not find a single post from me slating anyone for being in Michael Duignan's corner. When people got abusive and personal, I called them on it - but that's just a flat out lie. So I'm going to stop engaging with you now.

honestly it must hurt you to see something productive happening in the county. and the first post you put up afterwards is negative!
Go off and do some research on the topics you want to talk about instead of spouting the same shite you have been for the past 10 years here.

go talk to other counties that are running their affairs correctly and see how this can be adapted in Offaly.

It's important to have a diversity of views, within reason, on any board and the worst thing is to have a load of yes men and noddies.
A good County board will have a balance of good people from different clubs from different backgrounds age and experience who are committed and able to doing a good job.

It will be interesting to see who the present executive source to fill the other positions and if they still just bring in people from their own clubs. Ie more Rynaghs and Clara lads.

Rynaghs have two positions on the board now and duignan himself a third if you count Rynaghs as his first club.

Clara two as well at the moment.

A key role will be fixtures secretary. That is a thankless job. Mary did a great job when she was at it, and I thought so did Padraig. In 2017 three people did it and it
was absolute chaos. They were sending out two different fixtures lists and they couldn't manage it or organise it.

It will be interesting to see if Colm Cummins will step up to the plate and take that role on. He has been vocal enough about how fixtures should be organised, but will he commit to doing the daily almost 24 /7 work of Fixtures secretary or argue how it should be done from the sidelines. It's easy to be critical of another persons work but will he be prepared to go and put in the hours himself.

Will he step forward and see how the fixtures works at first hand.

Duignan and the county has a great opportunity here. People seem re engerised and aspirational about what our county can achieve. Can he do it only time will tell.

And 10 years later all you offer is abuse towards anyone who doesn't view the world through your own narrow prism.

another one!
actually i haven't posted much on my opinions if you read back. but i will call out people on stating facts with no research only their opinion. and when we actually wanted their opinion they copped out and refused to give it! Hilarious

The county is on an upward curve and for the first time ever their is real leaders leading the county board with very clear plans. Embrace it!

Tell us so how it should be done. Please elaborate. Show us the solutions and how it can be organised better.

1. Slates people for supposedly stating opinions as facts.
2. Finishes by stating an opinion as fact.

You couldn't make it up!

That's my opinion based on listening to Michael Duignan and what he hopes to achieve.

Seriously what are ye guys going to write about when things start to improve. No doubt ye will find something!

ye are hilarious. For years when anybody criticized the county board on here ye came back with that nobody else will put themselves forward. Then when somebody does ye do everything in your power to discredit them. Then when they do get elected ye still look for the negatives.
The county Board positions are voluntary, people should come and go all the time - just because a few people have left it shouldn't leave a void. It's up to Michael Duignan to get more people in to support what he plans to achieve. From what he has done and said so far there is no reason not to believe him and i have no doubt he will achieve it.
Stop your nit picking ffs.

Any update on the solutions?

The trap we can fall into here is not listening to anybodys view piont, and just mad eager to post to get our own speak/views in. Its great to see so much energy focused towards this election, and if that energy can brought into different areas within everyones club, we will be all the better for it,
at this stage the time for talking is well and truly over. its time to start doing.

Offlays future finally someone is speaking sense here!
Be positive embrace change - change is good.
