Ah, give him a break. Sure all they're doing is trying to do is make a difference in their community and resurrect the real and sustained interest in football in Galway city. It's not as if they're they're doing something really vital and effective like making snide comments on the internet.Quote:

If the FAI have been reading foot.ie they really haven't shown any evidence of it.
They pick and choose CD, good ideas = baaad, snide comments = let's hold it against the posters.
We should all pick badges of clubs we don't like, pretend to support them and slag the living daylights out of the FAI and see what happens. Just a thought.
a la Sean South...Quote:

Personally I wouldn't have an issue supporting a team called Galway Rovers, Galway Harps, Galway Ramblers or Grasshopper Galway and I doubt too many others would either but the structure of the club has to be one where there is transparency and the supporters have a say in what happens, though not necessarily a casting vote.
The current potential structure seems doomed to failure. There is self-interest in everything proposed whereas GUST just want a proper senior football team to support and for that team to be representative of and inclusive of al strands of Galway football.
Thankfully it seems more and more posters on here are becoming aware of the situation.
If he was talking about me, then he would be wrong. I'm a season ticket holder for both Mervue and Salthill. I have played in the past for Salthill. I am NOT a member of GUST but I am a Galway United fan and I would believe that what GUST want is the correct decision for future Galway football player in general.Quote:

Mervon has a nice ring to it.Quote:

Far too much politics in Galway football at the moment with no vision.
Sean South, i would say.Quote:

Great article by Daniel McDonnell in one of today's papers on the whole GUST situation. He reckons they could pull the plug at a meeting tonight as they are getting no where closer to a deal
........ For the benefit of those who forgot why GUFC died :rolleyes: Judging by spats on FOOT.IE over the years Bohs/Rovers is a love in compared to Galway fans and themselves.Quote:

What did they vote?
Implementation of a co-operative structure and that Galway United Football Club is the preferred name amongst supporters for the 2014 club.Quote:
