So one is not believed because its a intercounty transfer and the other is because its a club transfer. Oh right then that clears that up.

I've heard enough now.

Mulligan is living in Dublin, Sj never lived in Straffan every dog in the street new that also it was not the first player Kildare asked to come join them with a Dublin keeper also being asked to join them the year before. it was the way the transfer was done with Kildare like making him play in a hurling game when he didnt even no what hurling was previously. SJ didnt go to St.Kevins and say i am living in Straffan any chance of playing with ye Kildare saw he wasnt in the Cavan squad and asked him to come to play county with them. Also any of the KERRY lads on this site here of the rumour David Geaney might be transferring from Dingle to Kilmacud Crokes due to him living in Stillorgan

And you know this how? Provide me with one shred of evidence (the 'every dog in the street' line doesn't count) that this actually happened. I'm not for one minute justifying SJ's transfer.

I could equally say that St Brigids got wind that Mulligan had a girlfriend in Dublin and he was approached and told to move to Dublin for a few months to make it look legit. And who knows that maybe next year he can make the full intercounty transfer and it's all be rosey in the garden. But i've no evidence of such a thing happening so I'd be making it up.

1312645 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

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.

Yes i know there was i just saying that there is no sign of them now when it involves Dublin. One Dublin poster in particular was very vocal about it (as they are on all things Kildare) yet there is no sign of them on this topic

As has already been said what do you have to back up that he's living in Dublin? I know a lot of people from Dingle and yes he is meant to be transferring but he has been living in Dublin for almost a year at this stage

Shock, horror!

Sports clubs wants people to voluntarily join their club!!!!

It's a disgrace, how can they live with themselves? They should just be happy with the amount of members that they have and eventually cease to exist!

How many other clubs advertise for players to join them? Not exactly voluntarily now is it? Most other clubs in the country seem happy with the members they have and dont go look for new ones do they?

All clubs should advertise for new members. Otherwise the club eventually will not exist

Explain please, if indeed you can, how it is not voluntary? Are St. Brigids going round Blanchardstown in a van kidnapping people?

There is not one sporting club in the entire country, be it GAA, soccer, rugby, boxing, athletics etc, that is not looking for new members all the time.

Depending on where they are advertising I don't see the problem.

My club have always actively sought out players in the local area. People change addresses the whole time so its no harm for the local club to let themselves be known.

Non story for me.

How many clubs so have gone in the last year because of lack of membership? Plenty of clubs with much smaller base of people then Dublin clubs seem to being just fine with there members they have do they not?

If it was voluntary they would jon by themself not after seeing the club was looking for people to join would they not? Im sure you have a reason otherwise

My club doesn't look for new members by advertising it nor do i know of any club in Kerry who do it

Can't think of any club that has gone because of a lack of membership in the last year and do you know why moomoo? Because over the years they haven't just decided to stay with their current membership, they've gotten new members to replace ones who left and to augment their membership!!!

Joining the club is a voluntary decision. You seem to think that by people reading the advert they'll somehow be automatically forced to join Brigids!!! I can only presume that you'll be seen in the red and white strutting your stuff in Blanch this year. I mean, like you said, you've no choice in the matter because you seem to believe that joining the club is not a voluntary decision!

So no club in Kerry has ever advertised in any way shape or form for new members? Never had flyers up in local shops or pubs? Never gone into local schools in search of new members?

Where did i say they have no choice in the matter? I wont have to as im sure they'll be plenty other lads who just so happen that move to there area and then join them

Not that i know of no iv never seen it. Maybe you should come down and show them how its done seeing as you seem to know a lot about.

Go on the UK page and you will see every London Club advertising for new players. Dublin will be similar, plenty of people moving to Dublin and looking for a club to play or train with. Down the country its different, you move to an area and they don't have the choice of clubs as you do in a large urban area, also in the rural area's you have the parish rule so you play for where you are living.

You said that joining wasn't voluntary. When something isn't voluntary it means there isn't a choice. Quite simple buddy. You've stated, a couple of times now, that joining St. Brigids is not a voluntary thing. Something that you've thus far failed to explain.

It's amazing how well Kerry GAA has done seeing as it's never actually tried to get any new members, ever, into it's clubs according to you.

Clubs down in Kerry don't go looking for players. Most parents go to there local club and get there children involved you might have the odd one or two that get involved through school football and then end up joining a club.

Theres no comparison,there is a huge difference in population and clubs in close proximity to each other in Dublin, where i am there is 3 clubs within a 2 mile radius, clubs have to be always looking to advertise and hope to get juveniles to join, FAMILIES WILL STICK WITH THEIR OWN CLUBS, but people moving about will always be looking for clubs or non gaa people might want to send their kids to a gaa club and that is where clubs are leting people know what they offer.

Yes ye have a bigger population so numbers shouldn't be a problem. Kerry has about 60 football clubs and I lived closer to 3 hurling clubs than to a football club because the majority of the football clubs are based from Tralee to Waterville but my local football club has had success in the all ireland club championship in the last 10 years and we only have one adult team.
