i agree B'man. again i say welldone to the midlands and to the lads that were there . the report is brilliant,almost perfect but he forgot one small little line.(im sorry lads,i messed up)

You're kind of missing the fact that your begrudgery is throwing the hard work and input of the Midlands and 'the lads that were there' back in their faces.

They went out on a limb for the good of their sport and to help balance a perceived wrong and all you can do is say it wasn't enough.

Leave out Dr. Clonan for a minute. This was the Irish Times, that had no reason to make a gesture towards us and they did it in spades. Who else gets a full page on the day of a referendum?

If we ever want to go back to that well again, we may find it dried out by such begudgery.

I say fair play to everyone involved without qualification.

i think you want to read the posts again buddy

I read the posts and you're qualifying your praise for those involved with requests for apologies which to my mind the Irish Times doesn't need to deliver.

If you want a personal apology from Dr. Clonan, I suggest you email him directly, but don't involve the Irish Times or their editorial staff by association.

Mmmm

Fair play for the admission.

Re-read the thread and a quick count gives 17 posters who gave an unqualiifed thumbs up and 6 who qualified their praise of it or were not impressed.

That includes the hair who came down firmly on both sides

Sorry's just a word.

"Ye shall know them by their words"

"Judge not that ye be not judged"

Heard back from the BCC that the article in the Times cannot be taken into account during the hearing on the BCC complaint (which is due to be considered this month).

Grizzly 45

That was to be expected.Outside influences after the fact an all.

Sparks

No, it was because it wasn't addressed to the BCC. Clonan would have to contact them directly for it to count, alas.

Vegeta

Just wondering did the original 5 get a copy of 2 more recent BCC complaints. One from me and someone else.

Sparks

Nope Vegeta, but we wouldn't - the BCC only sent out the RTE response to the first five because RTE gave one response to the five complaints. Normally, a complainant isn't meant to get anyone else's complaint or response.

I got the response they sent to you guys and the response to my complaint.

Rew

Is RTE's repsinse posted somewhere I must have missed it. Saw the repsonse from the reporter in the paper, pretty weak.

Sparks

Interesting Veg. Any real differences?
Rew, they're up in the Prime Time thread.
