What Now For Merger Of GAA Camogie And LGFA - 5 Like(s)
Replying To Seniorleague: "Norman foley I just heard lamented the gaa for its attitude towards women,and then two seconds later claimed the gaa would fall apart if women went on strike,thereby unintentionally admitting that women have been given plenty of leadership roles within the gaa.
Pretty much completely contradicted herself in the same sentence. Woe betide the interviewer who points this out however." Unfortunately too many people just don't understand the issues, and are too blinkered to actually learn what those issues are. It's similar to how there was all that public outcry about "the GAA not allowing camogie players to wear shorts" when the fact of the matter was that it was absolutely nothing to do with the GAA in the first place.
Overall, this is not a case of "not wanting women in the GAA". Women already occupy all sorts of roles in the GAA up to the highest level, as well as doing all sorts of everyday tasks in every GAA club in the country, and the input and effort from all of them is appreciated every bit as much as the GAA appreciates the efforts of all the men involved in it. Just as both the Camogie Association and the LGFA have many men involved at all levels, and I'm sure they appreciate the men every bit as much as they appreciate what their female members and volunteers also do.
Instead, this is about the structural and financial challenges of integrating three different Associations, particularly when all indications are that one of them would be expected to do much of the heavy lifting on behalf of the other two.

Replying To GAAFAN1234512345: "'county board do a u-turn' I agree with this. County board need take ownership and appoint someone they want not what some players want.
Bring GB back to Monaghan.
GB to Monaghan wont get a HERE WE GO
I thought Jim Gavan was coming to Monaghan and as Gary Neville says 'Thats the banker, the one that cannot fail' but don't think Jim will come to us. Jim Gavan isn't far away from HERE WE GO to Galway
Pauric Joyce to Monaghan could happen. HERE WE GO (soon)" MallsBalls has made it clear that the Here we go comments are no longer acceptable. Please keep this language from another sport away for our native sport. Instead use "THERE WE LAND" as its more user friendly and compatible to our sport

Admin can you please start blocking the childish messages from a couple on here. It really is ruining the forum.
Can't agree about Clontibret, saw them play a distinctly average blayney outfit and they were very poor.
Both games in Group 1 will be very entertaining next week. Massive carrott for Truagh or Clontibret to make semis and avoid scotstown, in a funny way winners of Blayney v Cremartin would possibly rather finish 3rd in the group than second too.

Replying To TheFlaker: "Let the LGFA and Camogie merge first with support from the government. Then move to take the next step. This is about money and governance. It's not anti women. My club is a one club organisation that makes sure the ladies are looked after. People are shooting their mouth off now without thinking. This is a complicated issue." Surely that should have been the first step, seems a bit farcical.

Replying To supersub15: "It would not surprise me if the president of the gaa received a phone call or a visit from a person that mattered to soften the blow and try to get things back on track. With appointments to key positions comes responsibilities and a chance to showcase leadership. We now sadly live with pressure groups daily; we forget that the gaelic athletic association is a sometimes very slow-moving organization that we all have lived with for the past 150 years almost.
Gender based equality conversations that include yesterday's hero's is on a two-way street basis for everyone.
Meanwhile back to the drawing board." What a bizzare post.
