Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

Martina1991

Maybe I'm being thick but it makes no sense.

All delegates agreed to have a vote.
The vote didnt happen.
The county board said the vote passed without objection?

Agreed standard procedure but as you mention the previous statement is contradictory in it's nature.

How can it be a given that the motion was passed overwhelmingly if the motion was only passed automatically as there were no objections?

A miscommunication seems to have occurred between the top table and the delegates and to whither a vote would occur?

Oh i agree, its totally contradictory. Im just assuming in the normal course of events that if something is proposed at a meting and there is no objection that its deemed to be carried

Agreed.

I'm merely speculating that there was a miscommunication and as Martina1991 (not thick at all )alluded to, the delegates mistakenly assumed a vote would be taken on the vote of confidence as opposed and hence no objections were voiced.

The top table misconstrued the absence of any objections as a vote of confidence in the executive without the need to go to a vote.

The Mayo County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Maigh Eo) or Mayo GAA is a comedy soap opera based under the stand of the football pitch in the fictional Mayo village of Connellcunnane. The current series which has been rumoured not to have been renewed for next season, stars Mike Connolly and Paul Cunnane, and co-stars Dermot Butler and Kevin O'Toole. In a change from The Green & Red of Mayo, the theme song used for the current season is Shoe The Donkey. Recent storylines include rows over funding, which originated in the first episode of the current series entitled, "Fully Funded Trip To NYC", and which developed in subsequent episodes, but most notably in episode 2, "You Shall Go To The Ball". The most recent episode of the current series which had originally been entitled "Kiss And Make Up", was renamed just prior to broadcast as, "Keep Them Out And Say Nothing". Since the most recent episode has aired, several regular extras in the show have raised concerns about the demands of the stars, and so the drama continues off screen as well as on screen.

If that's the official Mayo GAA wikipedia page whoever carried out that editing should seriously cop on and return it to it's original state.

Realistically how else can they collect money at gates? Visa contactless?!

By the club delegates. When it wasn't.
They want to control the narrative by only putting out news they want people to know, you can only do that if you control the media. How do you that. You ban the rest and only use your mouthpiece (PRO). The best dictators in the world have done it this way.

But sadly in the world of social media that's no longer possible unless you ban social media. Alas the mayo county board isn't big enough for that.

They made a show of themselves at every step.

Big statement saying the will address every issue in the 1st letter and they don't. The childish song playing at the match. The big meeting with the clubs only no media ones assume to bad mouth Mr o Leary. He has played a blinder though. The 1st letter asking the questions. The second latter giving more detail and the donkey comment which he has had in his back pocket since earlier this year. The 3 letter giving more details about what exactly has been going on and asking to sponsor the team to know the process and the fact it's a terrible deal we have and they county have already agreed to renew it a year out from it's actually date with no bidding process.

Then the legal warning about defamation before the last meeting which was clearly the aim when they banned the media.

The end is nigh for a few members of the county board I'd say.

It's not somebody editing a wiki page that's making us a laughing stock. The County Board are doing a fine job of that by themselves.

I am sure they are soon going to open a Mayo Comedy Club .

The Supporter

Limerick Hurlers won the Liam Mac Carthy cup in 2018 after 45 yrs, J.P. McManus was their sponsor who is a billionaire.
Teneo was the Tipperary Hurlers sponsor and it is reported that the Tipp Hurlers wanted for nothing this year under Liam Sheedy, look at the strength of the backroom team Sheedy had. Kerry have the Kerry Group, one of the wealthiest companies in Ireland and we know the financial resources Dublin have. Big financial sponsorship brings results. We in Mayo need massive financial support if we are going to be competitive in 2020. I believe it is vital that new officers are elected onto the Mayo County Board at the next Convention in Belmullet

PARlance

Latest twist is that someone recorded the meeting and the County Board are investigating.

Whoever did that is a total disgrace and needs banning form Mayo GAA. This backs up everything The County board have been saying. Whatever about the county board being out of their depth what gives O'Leary the right to be holding people to ransom?

The donkey comment was common knowledge among many gaa people in the county for some time, it was obviously going to come into the publci domain at some stage. I actually feel sorry for some of the good people on the exec, but at this stage its become such a farce it's hard for any of them to come out of it looking good.

Who is holding to ramsom.its his money or money his foundation helped raise

He is entitled to ask how it's been spent. If its not going to valid gaa expenses I would be wanting to know too.

How do you assume that it was O’Leary that was behind the recording?

I think it was wrong if people did that, but lots of interested parties involved in being suspicious of the Co Board.

Someone makes a joke about it.

Everyone: 'This is no joke. This is serious! No time for laughing here!'

So the clubs were told by the county board to stop making statements (only I think 6 did). Secret recording of the last meeting gone viral. Now all the naughty boys and girls are being called into another meeting. I wonder will everyone be searched and any electronic devices confiscated?

This could have serious implications for the person who did this without consent. Its taking a new low every day now and you could not make this sh1t up!!

Someone seriously needs to take control and lay out a plan to address all these issue.

wirelessdude01

The question has to be who recorded it? Was it a delegate or a member of the executive?

Personally think after the summer of leaks to the Con Tel I think it is a member of the executive who did it who has an agenda.

This was reported by O'Leary in his latest letter. There has been no confirmation or any info from any other source

Michael Gallagher from Ballycroy has thrown his hat into the ring for the PRO position.

Lengthy interview on CRC with Aidan Crowley.

A very strong candidate me thinks.

He did that a few weeks ago. I have to say that the current PRO actually did ok in my view in managing the role, particularly from the social media aspect.
That said, more recent events and handling of same have tainted that view and clearly a change is needed.

In other words - what a ****ing **** show.
