Galway promoted - Setanta's mistake

[DmanDmythDledge]

If the representative of UCD voted for a proposal that he and his club were opposed to, the only conclusion one can come to is that he is not very bright.

The only problem with that is that no grant money meant no stadium which would have meant losing marks in the criteria.

Pineapple, your original comment was this:
"The issue was why Galway are so happy to ignore what is clearly a travesty of sporting principles."

Regardless of whether certain supporters didn't want this, or if the FAI put pressure on clubs to sign up or UCD didn't object for political reasons, it is unfair to single out Galway Utd when every club(for whatever reasons) have agreed and accepted the terms surrounding the creation of this new league.

But you're again completely overlooking the point. Galway fans are about the only ones who seem to think this is a great thing altogether, when it's clearly boll*x (regardless of whether you're going to stay down, stay up or get moved division). It's quite fair to single Galway fans out when Galway fans are the vast majority of those making positive soundings about this, and knocking those who (quite justifiably) criticise the whole thing as a farce.

I think PD sums it up well.
Stu It's not our fault we may benefit from the new proposals.Such an Irish thing.....when someone does something wright certain elements get upset.I haven't a notion of argueing with ya....i'm gonna try and remain quiet on foot.ie for a while.

When someone does something wright (sic!!)? Who did anything right here? Do you think the proposals are correct? The Genesis Report? I'm confused here.

PD doesn't sum it up well. He picks one thing Saddam did and notes how the league didn't do it, and therefore there's no link. People voted for Saddam because they were afraid of what would happen to them personally if they didn't. Ditto here.

without going crazily off topic - and this one has gone off topic already - way more iraqi civilians are dead now since march 2003 than ever under sadam

this is a terrible analogy - and collectively we are all wasting our time talking about it and particularly going off on tangents

lets just wait til monday - its going to happen - no matter what we say now

[pineapple stu]

And way more Irish football clubs are dead now since March 03 than in the previous 20 years. What's your point?

I countered your point earlier - just because you can show one difference between two things doesn't mean they don't function as an analogy. Didn't think someone would be quite as stupid as to make a point which had already been countered...

[corbyeire]

yea you are still countering, thats my point - why dont you just leave it

Bull, if you knew anything a vast majority of galway fans are for the league being sorted out on the pitch ! so dont go painting all the GUFC fans with the same brush, your talking out your arse there mate! Its just that we are living with what has been put forward by the FAI that ye have a problem with, we dont all agree with it.

[pineapple stu]

yea you are still countering, that's my point

That wasn't your point at all! You point was that "that's a crazy analogy" before failing completely in your efforts to back that up.

Maybe, but that wasn't what I said. I said the majority of those who were happy about the proposals were Galway fans - different thing entirely.

Another who should be looking before jumping to conclusions.

The only fans who have been whinging are in the Majority UCD Fans I wonder why.

Firstly you'll find that that isn't true. The fact that UCD fans are critical of the new proposals is irrrelevant- the propasals will not affect UCD at all.

.

and are the majority of GUFC fans happy? NO, they have come to live with it though, 2 very different things there!

[Poor Student]

Do you know something I don't?

Because Pineapple is a UCD fan and he does enough whinging for a lot of us.

Potm

It's obvious looking at the criteria that UCD will be staying up.

I wouldn't assume that.
