What you's reckon about McGuinness latest attack on the county board for not receiving any money in return for not attending the team holiday last year? If Croke Park did give 80k towards the team holiday, then I'd imagine the county board had to make up the difference - as a team holiday would be well in excess of 80k.

One article i read said the following: 'Funded by a €80,000 Croke Park grant and the county's own €110,000 team holiday kitty' CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 29/09/2015 12:11:12 1793523 Link 0 |
Yes but if the county board said that anyone who doesn't travel doesn't get holiday money then I guess that is it (like it or not). Donegal_D (Donegal) - Posts: 61 - 29/09/2015 13:50:27 1793632 Link 0 |

I think it is fairly stingy that they haven't given the 7 or so lads a voucher. GAAHattrick (Dublin) - Posts: 278 - 29/09/2015 14:50:13 1793687 Link 0 |

I don't see anything wrong with Jim making this public. He has written about it in a sincere and heartfelt way. Glynners (Donegal) - Posts: 109 - 29/09/2015 15:47:21 1793748 Link 0 |

I have an uneasy feeling about this. I see the board have more or less dug their heels in. I don't think Donegal GAA should be burning any bridges with regard to Jim McGuinness. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9458 - 29/09/2015 16:45:17 1793802 Link 0 |
Jim is not looking money for not being able to go on the holiday. He is looking a holiday voucher for him and the others who missed out. They are entitled to this voucher and the county board are purposely blocking them getting it. Jim was just right to make the issue public and maybe it will embarrass an apparently inactive county board into treating their past players, management and back room team as they deserve to be...with respect and common decency! mmdtc2011 (Tyrone) - Posts: 125 - 29/09/2015 17:12:24 1793820 Link 0 |
I agree slayer. It is a team holiday. If you cant go then you have missed out on the team holiday. It is a bit like someone asking if you want a drink and asking for the money instead. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 29/09/2015 17:22:18 1793829 Link 0 |
Breffni, what would he spend a grand on in Bundoran? neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 29/09/2015 17:54:36 1793842 Link 0 |
That county board statement isn't exactly illuminating, is it? After all McGuinness has done for Donegal football, it seems a little bit cheap that the county board wouldn't sort him out with a holiday voucher. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 29/09/2015 18:43:10 1793868 Link 0 |
