GAA Players for Strike Action........?

[the bare biffo]

I see Eamonn O'Hara from Sligo has been talking up the possibility of players going on "strike" (an impossibility anyway) if the grants issue is not sorted out to their satisfaction.

But especially in the context of what may be to come on foot of yesterdays report from Colm McCartrhy, will anyone really give a flying fuck if lads choose not to take part in their "recreation of choice" as Mr Cooney so accurately phrased it.

I for one am far more concerned at the prospect our local 2 teacher national school being closed and the school transport scheme going from an already increased €300/head to €500/head, to name just two.

These GPA lads appear to me to be totally delusional.

Who gives a shit about Eamon O'Hara if he goes on strike or not, he must be 35 at least, anyway Sligo have been on strike for a good few years.

The players’ campaign to get paid for playing hurling and football took another twist on Wednesday night.

The programme for the Leinster Under 21 final carried, among other things, a questionnaire with Simon Lambert. One of the questions was the usual “what do you dislike most about hurling?” Time was when fellas would respond with “hurling in winter” or “bad refereeing.”

Lambert’s biggest quibble? “Not getting paid.”

in that instance above, you'd almost have to wonder about the agenda of the county PRO who let that go through. I'm sure it was a very simple interview knocked off in a five minute phone call, but even so surely a word in Lambert's ear to say that even if he believes that, it's not going to do him any favours in the long run to put it on the record. Or maybe he was insistent that it got included?

If that's his biggest issue then that's one happy and lucky GAA player

He should have taken up another sport so.
He was hardly recruited to play hurling under false pretences?

Who gives a crap about what Silgo or any other county who have not a chance of getting to the business end of the year going on strike

[black and red exile]

Every winter we seem to have a saga of strikes and threatened strikes over one issue or the other, something tells me that between September and January we are going to be driven up the wall with this grants bore for weeks on end on whether the players go on strike or not. NOBODY GIVES A TOSS ANYMORE.
