Fianna Fáil are getting a hard time at the moment. Are you going to vote for them in the election?
legendz why do you choose to believe The Leps opinion rather than all the facts that have been presented by credible media sources?Quote:

I hope Sporting Fingal get passed the loss of Gannon's support. It's great to see a new club join the league. It can ruffle feathers but that's the way it goes. The Fingal project seems to be a sound one.
I'm not choosing to believe fully. I've replied to the lad that if they have the financial backing for next season they'll be ok. I've used the word if, I can only wait for clarity on the matter as well.Quote:

Don't draw conclusions based on what you hope will happen.
Edit - also, that's the first time you've incorporated an "if", I think. Previously, it was -
Obviously if they have backing for next year, they'll be fine. But if my auntie had balls... That's completely irrelevant to what's actually happening.Quote:

Fingal have been aware of the likelyhood of Gannon dropping out for most of the last year, so we can take it that they have been planning to operate without his contribution, we could then take it that they have prepared a budget for 2011 based on income from other sources (Keelings being another major sponsor and presumably the major contributor). If we look at it that way then they haven't lost €750,000 from their budget, they have also announced the decision to cut entry prices very early, so we could chose to accept that they have budgeted for a possible cut of at least 1/3 in gate receipts. They've already released a number of highly paid players so there is likely to be a major cut in their wage bill.
I wouldn't be overly optimistic that this is the case, and it looks like they will find it difficult to meet all of their obligations this season, but it's a little early to write the off completely. The whole concept of "Sport in Fingal" is quite an admirable one, although Sporting Fingal FC does seem to have attempted to run before it should even be toddling, I'd like to see the FC survive and downsize and become the real community project that it initially seemed to be.

Just on Lep, there's a fair chance he's just messing lads. Mainly to get some of you all riled up. There's no doubt he'll be more familiar with the problems than us. That he chooses not to address them here isn't an issue
Fair enough. I was going on your follow-on post.Quote:

Em no you haven't.Quote:

If you are being objective and neutral then how has he caught me out? I presented two facts that have been in the national media. He more or less replied don't believe everything you read and that was good enough to "Catch me out"?
There's a word for that on internet forums. It begins with "t", and rhymes with "roll".Quote:

Personally haven't taken much stock in his posts since he said 700+ at a Fingal/Pats game when it wasn't half that
he's brought it upon himself. I have no sympathy for him or his poxy club at all.Quote:

But answer me this does the title of this thread irk anyone else but me? Surely it should be "Are Sporting..."?
I once had a long discussion with Bald Student over that question of whether to treat a club as an instance of a singular noun (it) or as a collective noun (they). We agreed in the end never to speak about the subject ever again.Quote:
