.......Hello, is that Joe Duffy ? it is, well Joe... imagine, Revenue in Galway do not have the resources to immediately issue a certificate of clearance to GUFC and as for those wasters in the Dept of Sport, culture and other stuff we pretend to care about (to give it its official title) - cant drop everything and facilitate Bohs latest loan scheme (this is the final one, honest.). What public service I ask ?
I blame it all on Bertie..... and the unions.....and..and..it would be different in the private sector
Joe Duffy one of the licencing committee now?

I agree, it's all the public services fault that Galway left it until the very last days possible to come to an agreement with Revenue, over the debt they has built up over the year since the last cert, in order to get new tax clearance. There's no finer example of why benchmarking was wrong - GUFC are the perfect example from the private sector on how to do things properly. Could the revenue not have sent it out on a DVD FFS!
I figured you'd reply. Galway are a model club, I'll have you know. ;)
Seriously, the "de man who signs dat is on hol'days" defence is utterly contemptible.

Oops further proof of my incompetence and stupidity. Nothing I say can be believed it seems.

Its the defence Bohs gave. It most certainly wasn't the defence they were given by the Department of Sport (etc), as can be seen by their reply in the Mail on Sunday
Revenue deal with 1000s of tax clearance certs a day. It doesn't require any individual.
Its unlikely to be the last time LOI clubs try to blame people other than themselves either

Of course they will continue as that's the only reason the LOI exists, the fault of other people. If the GAA weren't so bad the LOI would be playing to full crowds in super modern arenas and challenging for continental honours. If it wasn't for the pesky owners/investors in clubs then all clubs would be fine as there would be money growing on trees. If it wasn't for those few hundred who go every week to England and Scotland to support "foreign" clubs LOI grounds would be bursting at the seams (not a shot at Bray). If it wasn't for the FAI the LOI would be flying, with innovative competitions, good regulation and no clubs going bust. And of course if it wasn't for the apathetic Irish public barstoolers then we'd be fine.
You've hit the nail on the head and especially about revenue - why is it that LOI clubs have a myriad of excuses that pass muster when it suits? It beggars belief.

Bray: stadium that is clearly in breach of health and safety for 2 years is passed yet again with out conditional licence but they are given time to knock walls and put in new fencing to comply.
Is that an opinion, or based on actual H&S reports?

There was basically a full thread on it at the end of last season, don't think it needs to be gone through any further at this stage.

I joined here in March 2010.
I wasn't having a pop - I always thought the walls were a bit close to the pitch.
Just wondering if there were any H&S reports on it.

Maybe he was on holidays or sick or whatever - it was Galways rush job not Revenue's, unless I've missed something that Revenue were actually "late" issuing the cert? There is enough genuine issues without adding to them with crap.

I think the FAI has been taken over by Vince Mcmahon, One team is on the pitch waiting to see who they are playing then the lights go out the music starts and Sean Conor just runs in and hits everyone with a stone cold stunner before downing 6 beers and getting the hell out of there
Ah, brings me back - I still vividly remember this, I think the line you are looking for is 40 seconds in

Without knowing how far in advance Galway applied for it, it's hard to say whether it was a rush job or not (fair enough if you actually know when they applied, I don't).

You see, countering with facts wasn't so hard after all.

They're doing a difficult job in difficult circumstances, they just needed some extra time.

Fantastic news, justice has been done. For those fans of other clubs who were dancing on our graves last Monday, take a good long hard look at yourselves. To those who gave messages of support, thank you...good to see that there is a great amount of decency and respect out there amongst the LOI fraternity.
Such a contrast of emotion between today and last Monday, but thankfully everything has been resolved. This pre-season has been far too uncertain from a United point of view. Lets hope we never have to endure such an arduous winter period again.
Well done to all at GUST for the tremendous work they have done, Galway United is now well and truly in the hands of the fans.
Gut-wrenching for Monaghan though no doubt, completely wrong of the FAI to give them the impression that they were up. Monaghan should have been given preference over Drogheda imo. Best of Luck to all at Gortakeegan for 2011, hope ye get promotion this year, ye no doubt deserve it
Good post from a few weeks ago. This good will you speak of doesn't seem to extend to the A Championship though. Good points were made by Galway fans on how people outside the club did not seem to appreciate the importance of the club and on how much it means to some people.
There's a similar situation with A Championship clubs. The uncertainty on the future of the competition is not good for the clubs involved. Castlebar and Tullamore cited it as a reason for opting out this year. If the LoI fraternity want the game and league to develop in this country, a pathway on the field of play is needed for joining the league.
I know pressure has come from some Premier clubs to end the A Championship. Surely this stipulation of having to field a side can be removed. Galway did not enjoy the uncertainty over their position in the league. Similary as I say, it's not good for the A Championship. If the league is to develop, the FAI need to give a firm commitment and a stable league for clubs to join with aspirations of joining the LoI.

Licensing is a joke. The Galway clubs have great training facilities though...
