Ifsa?

Ok then,

I was at the meeting also in Cork and was bored stupid, and yes I listened to the propaganda being spouted from you Michael, even though I did my best to switch off a number of times

You are involved in a new organisation meant to be made up of fans for the good of irish soccer yet for me you spent way too much time focusing on both a personal grudge you seem to have with both this Alan Hunter guy. if you want to get into a personal slagging match with him then do so in your own time. I turned up at that meeting curious about the organisation, but left with an impression of a few bitter little charcaters like you, whom while probably having a good idea or belief are infact bogged down in somewhat petty little media-fights.

some of the stories and anecdots you told were both insulting and so completely off the point of what you set out to do.

I am a member of the supporters club here in Cork and will be advising everyone i know NOT to back your petty little organisation

The idea of IFU is a good one but you i fear are not the man to lead it sadly,

I agree there. The leaflet distribution is a very worthy operation, and I support it strongly. It was a number of other things which concerned me, as I already stated.

Michael Nugent contacted me off-site with a long diatribe on this thread. I genuinely don't have the time to get into a (frankly rather dull) flame war at the moment, so I've laid out his options. Ultimately though, he's welcome to post here as long as he obeys the rules.

"The Rules" should of course be common sense to everyone, but obviously that's not the case, and that's why I've started developing a set for the site. The membership of Foot.ie is of course welcome, in fact encouraged, to contribute to the rules. You're the community, it should really be up to you to define the laws.

On this particular topic though, let me make it quite clear: Foot.ie is not here to act as a personal soapbox for anyone, or any organisation. We all have our occasional rants - I realise the irony - and we all have our particular topics of interest, but coming to Foot.ie /just/ to preach to the membership is a no-no.

I've suggested to Mr. Nugent that he set up his own site and publish his documents and commentary there. He's welcome to post links to those documents here, as long as he doesn't spam the boards, and, as I already said, he obeys the rules. I trust that will be an end to the matter.

Bang out of order there Face (note, how I didnt use your name). I said what i said because I believed in what i said. I believe that the meeting last saturday was a complete waste of time. There was nothing of any substance discussed. Okay, fair to Michael Nugent, he was reacting to questions and maybe got a bit carried away in his criticism of Hunter. But if he had a good agenda, he wouldnt have had to resort to bitching.

Now as for your comment which i have quoted. Firstly i didnt leave earlier as I was hoping that after all the small talk, something might actually be discussed. but the small talked continued and continued and then some. I didnt want to leave until i was satisfied with what i thought Nugent had said what he wanted to say. But he kept going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round.

So, i wasnt being reactionary, i was saying what I felt was the truth without resorting to insult. Best of lick to Nugent and his organisation, but first impressions last.
