I'd like to congratulate Jarlath on becoming Uachtarán CLG. He was the Príomhoide at the Gaeltacht I went to in 1999 and a smashing player for Armagh. Comhghairdeas leis. Suas Sios (None) - Posts: 1550 - 18/02/2023 14:46:18 2458850 Link

Fair play and congratulations to him. A very smart man and a classy player in his time. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7343 - 18/02/2023 15:25:56 2458858 Link
Congrats and best of luck to him. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1414 - 18/02/2023 15:39:09 2458860 Link
Time will tell. I wonder if he'll start the same carry on like a few years back of calling for the dropping of the Tricolour and national anthem at matches. He wasn't too popular with many in his own county last time round with such suggestions and fair play to them. Ailteoir (Galway) - Posts: 859 - 18/02/2023 16:38:29 2458875 Link

Jury is out. Started nonsense a few years back about abolishing the anthem before games and taking down flags. This was pure bunkum designed to play to certain elements up here who will never be placated. Hope he has binned that rubbish. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9701 - 18/02/2023 20:02:42 2458921 Link
Well done and good luck Jarlath. A level headed guy who will make the right decisions as opposed to the popular ones. ardmhacha (Armagh) - Posts: 172 - 18/02/2023 21:19:48 2458931 Link

Seeing as you're never placated. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 19/02/2023 09:16:25 2458953 Link
Well imho he can't be any worse than the last fella. Always impressed me any time I've heard him even if I didn't agree with some of the things he said he always explained his reasons rationally and you could see where he was coming from so could look to jarlath burns. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1336 - 19/02/2023 09:18:06 2458954 Link

If our guests do not like ours, that's too bad. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2550 - 19/02/2023 09:25:35 2458957 Link
We might see the new President in The Hyde today. He'll be welcome to Roscommon. Best of luck to him on a successful presidency. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2161 - 19/02/2023 10:26:31 2458968 Link
In his first round of interviews he has already politicized the role, which hopefully is not a sign of things to come. There are enough issues to be dealt with within the game, never mind the intractable external politics.

I've never totally agreed with everything jarlath said but I'm willing to give him a chance..best of luck in new position..he has to be an improvement on the present man.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2214 - 19/02/2023 10:58:24 2458974 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Yep. And the same goes for all the other inter cultural nonsense. If our guests do not like ours, that's too bad." That's not a progressive or helpful viewpoint when you consider a new Ireland, but, it is a view held by many unfortunately. ardmhacha (Armagh) - Posts: 172 - 19/02/2023 11:25:28 2458981 Link

A first class man for the job , and i dont think any of the above mentioned will ever happen, germac (Down) - Posts: 534 - 19/02/2023 11:48:19 2458989 Link
would keep the flags, would love to see the anthem gone except for finals. playing it over some shit speaker system in a nothing match is hardly respect for it, make it special. we are like the yanks when it come to anthems and the GAA, played at every game ffs. imagine the brits played theirs before every soccer league game, we would be doing nothing but slating and slagging them. only sports i can think of that do it are the american ones and gaa, dont even remember it when down in oz at NFL games or in NZ at rugby games. It dilutes its meaning played flat out, sure lets bring it back to nightclubs DCFCGAA (Derry) - Posts: 65 - 19/02/2023 12:06:10 2458996 Link

In all honesty I've no interest in hearing a crap version of our anthem at every single game, finals definitely but dhia sabháil it's a joke at times. and we laugh at the Brits during poppy season and the Americans crying at their anthem at the Superbowl and here we are precious about the anthem being played out over a crap sound system in the rain and wind the flag though was nonsense craic, it's our flag. if we ever get to a point where we're in a United Ireland situation and that is "on the table" as creating a new flag for a new country, let's talk about it then. But until then, no dice. I like listening to Jarlath though I think he's a very intelligent and articulate man, agus Gaeilgóir fósta, he has ideas and a bit of vision so I think there is potential for his presidency to be transformational, at least I hope so.
