While the sub has indeed popped up with some valid points along the way I think the last post is slightly out of line and if I know R14 he'd have taken it with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless though, this isn't the place for that sort of carry on at all. I suppose we could give him the benefit and take it as his enthusiasm got the better of him there.......

There are a lot of things I would like to say about individuals at the club who spent more time and energy trying to disrupt and jeopardise the good work that was being performed by the Sunderland committee but it will only distract from Sunday.
The stood up to the mark and made a profit for the club and worked dam hard to do it. To try to put down that effort, commitment and dedication is shameful. They performed an excellnt job and should be highly commended for doing so!

exactly, they did do a shamefull job, and took a lot of lak for absolutely no reason, the sunderland game made a fortune, without question, think of what the debth would be if we didnt have that game, i salute them fro there efforts, and would gladly support them for board and commitee,

people forget the chairman has no power unless hes given it, and its the commitee that give it to him, with there resignations and rolling over, some of the people going seem to be strong minded individuals, that will stay the course of there term, and when it comes time to reelect them (next year) it will be a no brainer,

all commitee votes are democratic, and have to have majority votes to pass, the only vote the chairman ever overturned was one that caused a legal issue for the club, and as he said if he does leave this club there will be no legal issues hanging over it,

i think if the new candidates get in we will have a fresh and proactive club, people going for board and commitee are doers, idea makers and they have initive to actually do something, these people are not blazer hunters, cause simply there are no blazer there

Lets be honest here some of the candidates going forward are a joke and would only hinder the club rather than help it.
Others were involved in the Sunderland committee and they didnt do themselves any good with the profit that was made and the way things were handled.
IMO it may be time to look "outside the box" and bring in an independant chairman,treasurer & secretary and let them steady the ship.

how can i describe your above post...........let me think?

BITTER, TWISTED, WARPED

If you that concerned then why didnt you put yourself forward seemingly as you seem to have all the answers

Hopefully this Sunday that talent and expertise will be elected in and we will have a bright future ahead.

Actually I am aware of some non members that would be more than willing to get involved in the running of the club. The reason that many have not joined is the result of the cuurent leadership's inability to run the club and also people not been made feel welcome.

I have to say that some of those seeking election are not qualified for the respective positions and I personally am uneasy about the possibility of electing people who have a proven track record of running with the hare etc as is the case right now.

PcPlod has been on here againg taking a stab at FOCR. For someone who is seeking support at this time, its not the time to blaming others.

I for one would not invest a cent under the current leadership and I am not sure anyone else would either.

the FOCR are 2-3 months ago, its you that seem to bring them more often than not,

of the current commitee only 2 will srill be there, the chairman and secretary, how exactly do think the condidates arent quailified to do the job, these are buiness minded people, willing to give a lot of there spare time to help cobh ramblers, how much of your spare time are you or any of us giving compared to the commitment these people are taking,

and dont bother saying you know people interested, but wont get involved, cause you, me, and everyone else has gone down this road, if these people really cared, they would have shown there heads by now, instead of letting a club they love ROT

Can you tell me exactly what the qualifications are for running a club?
You were a treasurer previously weren't you, what exactly are your qualifications?
Or was it from your business experiece that you stood in the position.
There are Financial Controls after being implemented and and it will be the job of the committee to ensure that these controls are adhered to.
There is no re-inventing of the wheel, it has been re-invented.
What we need is experience and any good business person will tell you that experience is far more valuable than qualifications and I feel there is a huge amount of business experience in the candidates that are going forward.

Why should I be seeking support I am not running for election so I really dont care whether or not people agree with me! I am here to speak my mind and have the best intrests of Cobh Ramblers at heart.

Who of those running are not "qualified" in your opinion to be on the committee because if the new people running dont meet your criterea then the current lot certainly cant? So what do you propose we do? Since they are the only ones who put themselves forwrd for these jobs, it would have been easy for them to not run like so many else but they know that if they do not take a direct approach to our problems and fast then we will end up with no club

yea yea yea James, it reminds me of the saying "if my aunt had balls then she would be my uncle".

With regard to qualifications, is there a night course in UCC/CIT/TIT on how to be a committee member.

Your banging on about the same drivel again, FOCR this FOCR that and no one will give money to the current leadership BUT YET all you do is talk about it, why not do something about it.

In terms of feeling welcome, im suprised you or they know what its like since ye are boycotting the clubhouse.

Correct RR - it is a 2year stint for both Chairman & Secretary!,
What I was getting at was ... does DR not think that anyone who is on the current committee - will not get voted back in.
There are three currently serving who are all up for nomintions for positions t Sundays AGM

You think my worlds confusing - wat about some of the nominees going for Committee!.
Allies to the Chairman for vote of NO confidence, end of August they summoned an Info meeting -they had turned against the Chairman, December they are back by the Chairmans side cos it suited them as now can be seen and THEN at last meeting they were stratigically placed around the room to take the chairman down.
Then they requested the committe resign - also they send out letters and stated at meetings they never have any intention in going forward for any committe positions and now there are up for votes(sending out manifesto's on their campaign trail)

...

NOW THATS CONFUSING! :confused:

I don't believe it was Redshanks that off was reffering to.
The Chairman as stated already has another term to serve so there is no point in arguing over if ur for or against him at this stage.
Time to stop the constant battle over 1 man and make this club about the members as a whole and the the full range of playing teams!
See the ficking wood from the trees, if the focus doesn't come off the Chairman and on to the club then we will be gone!

its a bit like 1 or 2 committee members who are sitting on the fence wondering which way to jump at the moment, its a bit like 3 or 4 of the honest members as you call them actively campaigned to get barry w in to power 4 years ago and are the ones now signing solicitors letters to get him out.

the chairman has no power unless hes given it, which he was by the previous commitees, standing aside and leaving the club in the ****,

the nominees are on yer letters lads, dunno what the bg deal is these people are willing to make a commitment, to us, the fans, to do there best to save the club, all you have to do is vote for who you think deserves it, and will perform best,
