Your making some dodgy unfair allegation re: Kilmacud, same with Na Fianna, it might help if you could define poaching for us all, because most of what your referring too appears to be legitmate. As others have pointed out here Parnells are not poaching, nor are any other Dublin clubs - they won't get away with it. The transfer rules up here are quite strict, as for all the country lads and lasses playing Senior in Dublin they are either students or residents up here, nothing wrong with it. But its less and less as the huge numebrs are only now starting to come through. The fact is most Dublin clubs won't need our country cousins at all.

the parish rule is not a ridic rule at all why is it?...the gaa is all about where you are from..you should only be able to play for the clubs from where you are from or live...this isnt soccer

Parish rule may work well down the country but it doesn't in Dublin.

There'd be a huge number of parishes without a GAA club for starters.

In Dublin you play for your club for a few different reasons. It's usually your local one but not always. Family is a big motivator for club loyalties also. Family and locality are the things that bind people to their clubs here.

The GAA in Dublin is about who you are which encompasses family, school etc not just locality.

my post doesnt seem to have come true but in terms of parish rule i understand dublin is completely different i was arguing more about the parish rule in general around the country as i accept dublin is different due to being large urban area

Strange when Seanie Johnson was meant to be living in Kildare with his girlfriend we seen Dublin posters very fast to say it was a lie etc yet now when the same claim is being made about a Dublin team they have reasons as to why its ok

Dublin lads are against poaching as well, how many times do we have to say it. , as regards club teams parnells were at it and i didnt like it.(though the other arguement was those lads from laois would of emigrated if parnells didnt employ them) its being going on since the sixties and before in every county so its nothing new .

In all fairness moomoo, it wasn't just Dubs that were saying that. Look back if you don't believe. People from nearly all counties were saying it.

Thats was my point exactly. I'd be the first to admit that SJ's transfer stank to high heavens. But it certainly wasn't the first that there was a smell off. But the attempts of some on here to justify transfers when it involves their own county while tut-tutting when it someone else. Either you agree or don't agree.

I don't think any one is taking you seriously regarding the SJ show. People know what happened and also know that there was a big difference between what happened with SJ and what happens to others. I don't think you are convincing anyone to think otherwise. Awe well!

1312753 And St Brigids went looking for Mulligan.

Have you any evidence to back that up or is it just a case of wishful thinking?

Culann (Dublin) - Posts: 2306 - 21/12/2012 11:47:31    1312754

The same evidence that is there to back up that Kildare went looking for SJ. SFA.

Thats why I son't take your opinion on this matter seriously.

At the time of looking for the transfer Seanie was living and working in Cavan town! Couldn't be easier to understand!

So let me get this right.

Seanie Johnston said that he approached Kildare about playing and people are calling that a load of bull. But when Mulligan said he approached St Brigids about playing it can only be the truth.

Why is one to be believed over the other? Its a genuine question.

Thats not what I'm on about.

I'm asking why people didn't believe that SJ approached Kildare to play but believe that Mulligan approached St Brigids.

"I'm asking why people didn't believe that SJ approached Kildare to play but believe that Mulligan approached St Brigids. "

Because one is a Club and the other is a county, one is legitimate and the other well - a few tweeks, knobs and twizzle's with the rules and sure Seanie is now a Lilly but thats history - and the consequences for the game will be at the very least - unpredictable as it has set a rather dangerous precedent.
