There seems to be something sinister to my mind particularly in the Kerry mindset and probably some individuals in other counties that they think its ok to pry into someones private life.

We saw it with David Gough, where he worked, where he lived, where his family of origin lived, where he was involved with his club.

Now we have lads googling where Dublin players work, what gives people the right to think that is ok, lads play football at an amateur level and have civil rights in regards to privacy and safety for both themselves and their families.

Its a really sinister aspect that is creeping into the game and its actually quite concerning. Why do people feel they have the right to cross the boundary into someones personal life? Why are Kerry fans at the vanguard finding out all this information, what right do they have to do this?

This comes on foot of comments by Paul Flynn today saying inter county lads have missed work of a Monday morning over abuse they have received on Social Media.

Its wrong and dangerous and you really have to question the mindset of some asking these questions, more worryingly the potential for safety if any of this information becomes well known in the public domain.

Wont be long until someone takes a data protection case, with the new GDPR legislation,

I've heard it all now, apparently posts on an internet forum impact on a GAA's team tactics!
Must remember this for the League and start using some reverse psychology!

Between attacks on David Gough, Dublin players and just all round begrudging , never ending excuses for losing and constant bitterness....i feel its left a bad taste in everyone's mouth...and not just Dubs

IMO the Kerry lads have really really let themselves down the last few weeks.

the mask has slipped

You need to ask the question in a different manner I think to try and get someone to answer instead of all this deflection.

Of all the County teams in Ireland, are there many on each team/squad who may have previously worked but have either cut back on hours or stopped working specifically to concentrate on their Intercounty football/Hurling/Camogie or Ladies Football career?

I'll get the ball rolling with Antrim. No.

Usually, I'd never bother comment on posts on HS, even posts that I'd be interested in.

But this thing has become malignant, with the likes of traleejerry, hermit and kerrylegend(something). Kerry lost. Get over it. Dublin have 5-in-a-row.

But I'd even understand and reluctantly accept their lack of acknowledgement of the 5 being done, their bitterness and attempts to take from this great Dublin team.

What I do not accept, and want I totally condemn is this angle this poster has taken on Cluxton. It's wrong on all levels. It's why I'm surprised the original post passed admin. I condemn this post in every way and form.

Thank you Antrim I will speak for the present kerry Boys no no no. And when some body convinces me that the Dublin outfit who won 5 in a row are not pros in every sense of the word I will stop asking the question. As for SC as I said I mentioned him only because he wears 1 I could just as well have any other one of the 20 in the squad. As Antrim said I have asked a simple question are these pros or not

LoL

Cluxton is a lecturer in DCU..

Yes you've certainly done your research alright haha

I can confirm that SC had 3 months off over the summer apart from sorting out a few bits and bobs

Just like most secondary school teachers

I seem to recall Mr Donaghy taking plenty of time off work to concentrate on his football

Replying To cavanman47:  "Good christ!

He's a secondary school biology teacher, not a lecturer.

And yes, last time I checked, secondary school teachers are required to turn up at their place of work."
And even if he was a lecturer, he'd still be required to turn up for work too. Last time I checked, those were also part of the employment conditions for lecturers!

It looks like it's going to be a long, tough winter for some of the Kerry lads around here...

OK TraleeJerry. Let's jump to No 5. Now he's a doctor, a children's doctor. He works with children which makes him a pediatrician. He wears a long white coat and has a stethoscope around his neck. He is meant to be a very nice man and a very good doctor. He works in a big hospital in Dublin called Temple Street and makes all the little boys and girls there better. He gets paid for his work and in his free time he plays football. Now, I know some people from Kerry cannot believe that a man can be this good at football and also be a doctor but it's true. No he didn't have to go to Australia and become a professional sportsman for some years; he is what you'd call an amateur sportsman. He doesn't take it too seriously he just loves playing . Isn't that amazing now?
Speaking of doctors, there are also men and ladies who work with patients who are mentally unwell. They are called psychiatrists and psychologists. If Dublin's success continues to baffle and bewilder you to the point where you can no longer make any sense I'd suggest you see one.

Replying To traleegerry:  "Right all you real Gaa buffs. Can we have a serious discussion on the money Dublin Gaa receive I can accept that as per head of population there is nothing wrong with the amount they receive as every other county receives the same per head of population so no prob there. Where the problem lies is and being honest I will tell you what people think in our 32 county Gaa world they are asking them self's does the Dublin goal keeper S. C GET OUT OF BED EVERY MORNING AND GO TO HIS PLACE OF Work I. E a lecturer in DCU I think and give lectures. If the Dubs want to quash these constant jibes about money let some body come out yes he does go to his place of work and lecture and do let us the last time at the very when he did and the same applies to the rest of the Dublin squad or is it that the squad are being paid as full time professionals and do not go to work at all. That is what people think that is where the funds are going to keep these guys as full time pros for 6 months of the year. No other county can afford this so it it is not a level playing field for all. I have done my research here in kerry and have done some research in Cork as well and the majority of the players are going to work and training. Would some in Dublin clear it up and it will stop the snipping. Tell the truth and if you do not know research it and confirm what is true"
If you are claiming that the Dublin players are indeed full time pros, then off you go and prove it.

It is not up to us to go and prove that they are working and training, as that is what they are doing in all likelihood.

You waisted your time 'researching' players who are working in cork and Kerry as this is what everyone does everywhere else in the country.....unless you have evidence to prove otherwise.


Innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof lies with you not us.

Replying To waynoI:  "Hiya "Gerry".

Hope you are well bud.

I've done a small bit of research and from the studies ive done I can confirm that Dublin 2015-2019 is, a 5 in a row winning team thus making them the greatest team senior mens GAA team in both codes, of all time.

I can also confirm that Dublin will winter well.

And furthermore, I can confirm that in 2020, we will be going for 6 in a row.

Hope my studies help. Have a pleasant day.


My kindest regards.

Although the OP is a bit bizarre to say the least, Dublin posters responding to it is just as bizarre, enjoy what your team has done and try to ignore what the majority of angry and frustrated gaa public's opinion outside Lucan think.
You are never going to convince 31 counties that the 5 in a row achieved was done with integrity, equality and without incredible advantages.
The manner of the success has to create bitterness in traditionally successful counties like Kerry, unlike Leinster counties who have had to swallow this crap for years and have begrudgingly accepted it, this is new for the likes of Kerry and must be hard to accept.
Enjoy it Dubs, enjoy your fantastic team, ignore any bitter comments about your team but spare a taught for the rest of us who are fighting for the crumbs falling from GAA HQ and Dublin GAA's exclusive table.
