I've one account. I've been on here for years, legend precedes me. My perception is that this isn't your only account. I don't understand why someone would want to use multiple accounts on a site like this where we're anonymous anyway. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4209 - 30/09/2019 13:01:08 2240284 Link 11 |

You're around since I am I'm almost sure words were had way back in the day between us. Way before legend showed up TBF.

I know it alot of work but can the mods not just stop off topic posts ( yes I know this is an off topic post ) I'm on a cycling forum where a poster got a 2 week ban cause she wouldn't shut up about how bad a race was cause her favourite rider didn't win.

I'm being accused of hijacking the thread. Donegalman's suggestion that I'm hijacking the thread has nothing to do with me being off topic, it's just that I've posted a number of times. My reply to the original post is one that actually is about the topic heading. The original post, despite the topics title is another one of the original posters many ways of moaning about Dublin's finances. It's been more moaning then from more of the usual suspects. I've just been active challenging them but sure that's hijacking a thread apparently on an open public forum. This from the first post was designed to be a Dublin finances thread and as I've said already these are killing the site in my opinion.

Yeah sure probably, life would be pretty dull if everyone got on all the time. I was quite vocal against Dublin funding up until a couple of years ago and read more on it myself. I was too trusting of a certain Mr McKenna's reporting. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4209 - 30/09/2019 17:53:55 2240414 Link 11 |

5 Green thumbs to nearly every message, on threads relating to Dublin, interesting . A site where we all have to take your "facts", your facts from a particular Dublin propaganda title a few months ago were exposed. Yes, indeed highjacking the posts. Seems a few on here need to dominate & if everyone doesn't tow the line, they want the mods to intervene. Most people feel the site is dominated & run for the few anyways, those who are allowed to post at will, any contrary view is deemed as killing the site.

Ironic as Dublin and the GAA are killing the football championship. This site was far more active when the football was competitive.

The reason I flag fake posters is because there is no other all ireland gaa forum to debate on and this one is ruined by them. I say I believe are not from Antrim. Reason? 1 You have thousands of posts and not a single one on your home county forum in hoganstand. 2 You are not involved in nor have startes any thread about Antrim gaa matches or players. 3 All your threads relate to funding, restructuring of championship formats. Politics rather than sport. 4 For a simple reply to a thread, even on page 6 or 7 of it, you get many green thumbs. Very mysterious indeed. Which leads me to believe that you are a proxy for other user names to join in by developing subjects to 'debate' about to further your own agenda. I am sorry if other posters are distracted or annoyed by this sideline topic, but it is a big one. I've watched this site deteriorate as a result of faker posting. If noone calls bullsh1t on this you will be answering threads that are made up of one user with many user names. Or you can pretend everything is ok and continue contributing to slanted inauthentic threads. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 01/10/2019 09:28:15 2240529 Link 0 |

Cycling ? It's just fellas riding bikes !! You can see it every day in the street !! They could improve it as a sport if you were allowed to shoulder charge your opponents. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 475 - 01/10/2019 09:46:52 2240533 Link 0 |

Yeah look, I wish it was more competitive too. I just don't really think there's much improper about Dublin funding. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4209 - 01/10/2019 14:48:45 2240657 Link 10 |

I don't call them facts. I'm very open about the sources of my information and I take criticism of them on board. I don't agree with your assertion that I took something from a Dublin propaganda title. It was the Blue Wave pitch. They do have to be taken with a pinch of salt. I wouldn't agree with your view that they were meaningless figures and you are very far from an unbiased authority on the topic. I don't green or red thumb any posts. I am one poster. The site went way downhill when those were added, long after I'd joined. I don't want to dominate but these Dublin finance threads go around in circles, all the same arguments are put forward all the time. The OP on this one is pretty ridiculous. How can you be discussing no funding for Antrim when you're not acknowledging Gaelfast. Jack Goff gave out about no money for Louth and Sligo without mentioning that there is money for Louth. Like I mean come on, just because you don't bother to look if it's there doesn't mean it isn't. Your whole victim mentality is a bit weird also. You can have your opinion but if you voice on a public forum you're going to get feedback. That's the whole point, ffs. As a guy who has no allegiance to Dublin, the defeatist attitude to their success is frustrating also. If Kerry or Mayo a few years ago can compete with Dublin there's no reason why Galway, Meath, Tyrone, Donegal can't be. If these counties just look for excuses, they'll never look for solutions.

I'm one person. I don't red or green thumb myself and I preferred it when these weren't a feature to be honest. I talk about the Dublin funding a lot because there are a lot of threads on it and a lot of it irritates me into discussing. I discuss the competition structures a lot because I'm a bit of a geek. As someone from a weaker county, ways of improving the games as intercounty level is meaningful for me. I don't have a lot to talk about with Antrim, unfortunately, If you don't know they're not that high profile, but during the NFL I will occasionally post. I'm a bit removed from Antrim club football having moved to an East Meath club, I follow that club scene, although I don't post really on their own forum. No real reason why I don't, just never have. You got a lot more of a response out of me than you deserved there but I've nothing to hide. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4209 - 01/10/2019 17:30:51 2240715 Link 14 |

Croke Park, the Ulster Council and Antrim county board should collectively hang their heads in shame at the state of Casement Park and the struggle that Gaels in Belfast, Ireland's second city, face in 2019. It is scandalous! Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9697 - 06/10/2019 00:46:22 2241559 Link 1 |
