This is a dreadful decision in relation to the website. Discussion at local level about local issues was the lifeblood of the site. It meant a lot to posters. If this is an issue of a lack of resources then just come out and say it. If the decision was arrived at for reasons other than a lack of resources then it is as I've already said a truly dreadful decision. In the GAA your club is number one. The national scene comes second.

In fact I disagree with the kinawley guy as it's great move to remove the county forum as it will keep a certain slabber you mentioned from annoying everyone with his stupid take on Fermanagh football who wouldn't know whether a ball was pumped or stuffed!

Was good while it lasted HS ! Crazy decision. Every county final from Junior B - Senior was discussed on the Wexford forum in the last few weeks - that's whats its about. Local forum was the main reason I visited the site so i won't be back! grassroots01 (Wexford) - Posts: 166 - 30/09/2021 15:23:35 2383781 Link 0 |

I highly doubt we are going to get any talk on it now. We will be one of the many forgotten counties

Bit of a bizarre thing to say. Are only posters with an incredible amount of posts like yourself only allowed to respond to you. Don't think I said anything unreasonable in fairness.

Disappointing. The National Forum is only good if you enjoy watching every thread getting derailed by inter-county biases and rivalry. The county forums were where the genuine discussions were happening. Have a look at the new thread on the national forum titled "Galway Hurling" or something like that; the initial post by a Tribesman, and every other post from someone outside the county. It's only a matter of time before it becomes a mess of slagging, WUMing, and trolling, whereas yesterday on the Galway page there was a genuine discussion going on about who'd get appointed to the manager position. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 30/09/2021 15:37:44 2383788 Link 6 |

Yes how is it wrong? You may not like it but it isn't a wrong decision for the company. Will you volunteer to moderate all the forums or pay for its upkeep?

The Westmeath page had active threads on SFC, SHC, IFC, JFC, county footballers & County hurlers and that is just off the top of my head. Too much variety there to be throwing in one thread. There wouldn't be any rounders or handball threads on the go but if you read my comment right you might pick up what I was saying instead of disingenuous replies.

If given the chance I'm sure a poster from each county section would gladly moderate their forums with the admin still in charge of the site. It's not liked by the majority. If you don't understand how its wrong I'd feel sorry for you. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 30/09/2021 15:49:49 2383791 Link 0 |

This is terribly disappointing. I am only interested in topics within my own county first and foremost. Sporadically I will will view the National forum but I would have little interest in it. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1654 - 30/09/2021 15:55:36 2383792 Link 0 |

I didn't mean it as disingenuous. It was a legit suggestion. Apologies if you thought otherwise. I get what you're saying yes.

Agree, don't understand why the forums all absorbed into the national forum.

That's a fact, some1 started a thread on here last week asking what Jack O'Connor would bring to Kerry football and 2 dubs tried to turn it into a dublin thing the last post on the thread is from a dub about dublin, it's a shambles.

Please show me where I said the border is 10km wide? I'll answer the question you won't cause i never said that. I said it 10km from Whitegate Cross to Kells thats 2 completely different statements. I don't care weather your from Kells, Navan or Dunboyne, relax have a cup of tea or coffee a few biscuits if you want and accept the reality that you're wrong. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 30/09/2021 16:18:58 2383800 Link 1 |

Your right but Brian needed to be put down a peg or 2 due to their arrogance.

A quick glance of this thread shows that the change has been accepted as well as the European Super League was accepted last April. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 30/09/2021 16:22:05 2383803 Link 1 |

The sneering from the Limerick posters on that thread already a good example of this.

Absolutely gutted with this decision, always loved going on to the Donegal forum to read the comments from posters. I mainly posted on the Donegal forum and not sure I could be bothered posting on the national forum as its just full of trolls.
