Like I said, is paying mangers secretly in the ethos? Is players being paid to write books, appear on TV/Radio adds or being given money for photo shots to promote GAA events? If the above is acceptable why is this testimonial not? TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 04/10/2017 18:32:51 2053102 Link 0 |
Now now Kingdomboy we can't go there. Don't you know the red thumb brigade will be out in force and the sycophants will shout us down like the children's schoolyard this forum is.

Yeah, And the best part is we managed to get a Kerry man to instigate the whole thing. We'll happily let you keep thinking you lot are the cute hoors. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 04/10/2017 19:05:31 2053111 Link 3 |

I've no problem with what the Gooch is doing more power to him on both the dinner circuit and the book. I'll even give it a read I think. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 04/10/2017 19:14:29 2053114 Link 1 |

My view on this is simple, no one is forcing anybody to buy a ticket/table. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 04/10/2017 19:53:27 2053128 Link 1 |
Good man Gooch, get all you can in this world, thank God for the Gooch, Berard Brogan, Lee Keegan and their likes, and also for the naughty boys, Ricey, Connolly, McMahon etc. These boys are winners and these lads are what make our sport tick, without them things would be very bland indeed. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 04/10/2017 21:25:57 2053145 Link 3 |
I was getting a bit annoyed with the old Gooch making money from his testimonial, book etc. Then I heard Kieran Donaghy and Ronan O'Gara making a great point on Wooly's show. How many bums did Colm Cooper's name on the teamsheet put on seats in a stadium or watching him on live TV? People in awe of his skills dying to watch him play. How much money did the GAA take in on the strength of his games. How much more money could TV companies charge for Hooch games. How many choppers, pubs, taxis etc near them grounds benefited? How much did the government take in on taxes from above? He got nothing for playing. He's entitled to get something back. Even if it seems against the amateur GAA ethos. He was magic.

I doubt the Tyrone players of the noughties really care much about how Gooch sells his book. Ricey probably laughing his ass off at the slight about his marking ability. Tyrone were an unstoppable force of nature back then and will have a lofty place in GAA history despite some puke labels thrown their way CaogaCuig (Dublin) - Posts: 63 - 04/10/2017 22:44:22 2053167 Link 0 |
With your childish attacks on Breffni and your carry on after you were beaten by Mayo a while back, I don't think you can making any dispersions about anyone to he fair.

How anyone can give a thumbs down to quality like that I don't know. Probably the same kind of person that gets annoyed by things like the pedestrianization of Norwich City Centre keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 05/10/2017 09:12:26 2053194 Link 1 |

Right so you can't outline why. Herein lies the issue.

There's that lack of self-awareness again

So bu your thinking he should bring out an auto biography and not touch on one of the biggest rivalries of its time Or blow smoke up your ars7 and avoid anything remotely controversial But having taken the time to read your post I'm convinced you DIDNT TAKE THE TIME to read the actual Gooch extract how could when you describe the Gooch as crying , he was complimentary of a team he admitted he didn't like. By the way as a Dub no axe to grind but did take the time to read the Godman post before posting Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 05/10/2017 11:05:35 2053231 Link 0 |
Haha, there's life in this old goat yet me lad :D
