Missing the second leg of the play-off for an awards ceremony he has no chance of winning an award in :confused::confused: Mental!!
Has he confirmed he won't be at the play-off.
I suspect that this is sh1t stirring by the GAA heads who resent any GAA player who plays football.
Im just going by Soccer Republic's Facebook and Twitter not gospel but Ill take it on its merits I suppose.
Two words lads.

GAA probably have had a word in his ear about his priorities. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "if you don't go here you will never play inter-county again" warning put to him. It's something I've heard of happening in several counties over the past few years.

Surely there is some type of contract that doesn't give him a choice.
If its over and he doesn't plan on playing for them next season then what would it matter what his contract says.
As far as I know, Lee Chin was happy to play for expenses only and it was known that he would only be available once his local club were knocked out of the county championship. Given that Shane Keegan knew for some time that the NZ departures would be happening, I'd say Lee was doing a lot more for us (the Youths) than we were doing for him.
However, I'd agree overall that what has happened this year in Wexford places a serious question as regards the sustainability of an amateur (i.e.no payments) approach to players. If we remain in the Premier Division, we'll have to conjure up a budget for players next season. Shane Keegan has already confirmed that only three players were under contract this year.
Apparently all award nominees are 'obligated' to attend. Make of that what you will
It's the GAA, the North Korea of sport.Quote:

Sounds a bit like a tax dodge to me?
Who knows? Some clubs pay bare minimum expenses, some clubs pay what's basically a cheeky wage. Wexford aren't getting anybody who's not in the local area anyway so say it'd be closer to the former than the latter.Quote:

Going back a while now but Gary Sheehan was well looked after down there.
