Replying To sourmilk93: "Does he live in the republic?" I'm not sure, I suppose it would have to be investigated wherever it happened, both sides of the border most likely. I suppose they can do nothing until a complaint is made? Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3071 - 10/05/2023 12:53:17 2477293 Link

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "I'm not sure, I suppose it would have to be investigated wherever it happened, both sides of the border most likely. I suppose they can do nothing until a complaint is made?" Ye that's the thing…at the moment it's just a social media post. An official complaint would need to be made. There is due process… not the trial by social media brigade veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 687 - 10/05/2023 13:05:03 2477296 Link

Replying To DCFCGAA: "Seems to be a lot of fuss over the tickets this year (got mine thankfully) Not enjoying this move it to croker talk. 35k between the 2 semis, surely clones can hold close to that if they open it up a bit. Lots of complaints about only club members getting tickets (im not a member of any ulster club, living in Clare) which I agree with. Dont like the 'jumping on the bandwagon' talk. Of course more people are going to want to go to a final and of course not everyone can go to every league match. All this " I was at a league match in the ppiing rain in the arse end of nowhere so where is my ticket" talk is nonsense, cant think of any other sports that reward people with ticket preference if they had gone to earlier games which untimely meant less . To all those going hope its a great day, weather not looking great but ah well, just glad Im coming in on the southern road as I can only imagine the traffic in the north side of the town. Derry by a fine margin, Gough will have to be on his game" That's some elitist anti GAA attitude, you contribute nothing to any club in Ulster yet you get a ticket for the final but someone who plays and or volunteers all year misses out. You are the antithesis of the GAA. A disgrace. Tom1916 (Armagh)** - Posts: 2001 - 10/05/2023 13:18:35 2477304 Link

Conjecture and speculation are no help to anyone, least of all to those impacted in cases like these. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9546 - 10/05/2023 13:23:48 2477308 Link
Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Old news. Was a story when he applied for the Monaghan job 3 year ago. Innocent until proven guilty." I think given the origin of this story, its certainly not old news. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 10/05/2023 13:24:35 2477309 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Ye that's the thing…at the moment it's just a social media post. An official complaint would need to be made. There is due process… not the trial by social media brigade" I don't see any witch hunt here. A disturbing allegation seems to have been made and its incumbent now on the GAA, particularly Derry, to step in and make clear that the allegations are being treated with the utmost respect and seriousness. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 10/05/2023 13:31:53 2477314 Link
Replying To artisan: "I don't see any witch hunt here.

Has any complaint been made to Gardai or PSNI? Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2023 - 10/05/2023 13:48:02 2477324 Link
Replying To artisan: "I don't see any witch hunt here. A disturbing allegation seems to have been made and its incumbent now on the GAA, particularly Derry, to step in and make clear that the allegations are being treated with the utmost respect and seriousness." These are serious allegations. Charges were dropped against a well known professional soccer player in England, but his club still aren't playing him. Everyone is looking at Doire GAA to see what are they going to do?? totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 1001 - 10/05/2023 13:55:42 2477326 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "Has any complaint been made to Gardai or PSNI?" Do the GAA need a police complaint to be made in order to act ? artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 10/05/2023 14:18:54 2477337 Link
The courage it takes to publicly speak about such things is just immense. For the GAA to ignore what has happened would be inconceivable. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 10/05/2023 14:26:09 2477345 Link
Hoganstand should be suspending this thread as noone knows the truth and everyone will be throwing in rumours and unsubstantiated stuff which might be prejudicial to the individuals involved. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1851 - 10/05/2023 14:50:44 2477350 Link

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Old news. Was a story when he applied for the Monaghan job 3 year ago. Innocent until proven guilty." That's a great point. If its old news and known, as you say, have derry gaa failed to do their due diligence here. That's a great point you've raised. We'll done.

Replying To Tom1916: "That's some elitist anti GAA attitude, you contribute nothing to any club in Ulster yet you get a ticket for the final but someone who plays and or volunteers all year misses out. You are the antithesis of the GAA. A disgrace." I was a member for 28 years in Derry, then moved to New Zealand for 5 years and was a member there, now I am a member and coach with my local club in Clare. I wouldnt take Munster final tickets down here despite paying my yearly dues, and my friend in Derry who I got the tickets from is a non playing, paying member of his club but not from Derry so he offered me the tickets......what is the disgrace there sorry? Should I only be allowed to go watch my county if I chose not to move my family for work to give them a better life that my qualifications would have gotten me at home?

Derry by 8..." I think 6/4 Armagh is a great price. The spotlight is on Derry. Armagh to win on the day. Breffni1969 (Cavan) - Posts: 510 - 11/05/2023 09:49:31 2477490 Link
