SPA Players Unhappy

This was your original claim about Sadlier:

I don't know how much I'd believe of Richie, he made some decent poitns but it was clear El Jefe from the PFAI didn't like some of the less than truthful things Richie had been spinning.

Instead of answering the query clarifying what you alleged was less than truthfull, you posted gibberish:

Still no clearer so far!

Richie made claims even on the radio about what was going on inside the Pats camp which ran outside the lines taken by the club and PFAI,

What claims did Sadlier make on the radio that were less then truthful

now either he was being straight or sensational, I don't think he was being fully truthful and while he wouldn't name names (even Dodge has names he won't name) and rightly so because there would be a backlash against the ones who were hardline, he could have left it out altogether instead of saying it.

In what way was he not being "fully truthful"?

The point you make about not making the claim (even if he knew it to be true) is bizarre

Hope that explains it and no more with the false insinuations. Thanks.

it does not explain it at all.

Lets keep it really simple - in what way was Sadlier not being truthful around this affair?

Well at least remove your insinuation, gibberish so thanks.

I'll address one before we start to move, while I understand he was reluctant to name names (if he had them), he shouldn't have brought this element into the situation (in the same way as he does in his articles) because he was stirring the pot. You may see this as bizarre, okay. I don't know what you mean about the articles - if you read them you'll see a common thread in how he addressed this matter, again, I restate that this is stirring, and not fully truthful (truth=disclosure, a pov). To repeat the exact lines he used on the radio I'll have to listen to it so as to sate you, I won't begin to quote him without 100% accuracy.

Sadlier spoke the truth.

Then again, he's with the Sindo so it sells

Nobody buys the Sindo for Pats gossip.

How can you possibly claim he wasn't telling the truth about players being willing to break the "strike" (if that is what you're claiming) Unless you have definite inside info to the contrary, which I'm guessing you don't. I think Richie Sadlier is in a slightly better position than you to know what went on behind the scenes. Anyhow, I would go along with the consensus that he came across much better than McGuinness on the show. All in all a bed week for Pats, I just hope it can be put behind everyone and the players can continue with the season they've had, which has been super up to now it must be acknowledged. I think they were in the wrong, but I won't be looking to boo them in the future, totally counter-productive,and anyhow I wouldn't be too confident that any squad of players in the league is not capable of behaving like this in the "right" circumstances. Players are essentially selfish and think first and foremost of their wage packets, like players everywhere. I also read a comment from someone during all this that players are the only ones making money out of the league here, and that's certainly true. Not a fortune I'll grant you, compared to other leagues. But then if their talent was such that they could earn more elsewhere then they would be doing so. That's not to have a go at players, it's just no harm remembering when McGuiness is going on like they're being sent down the mines for tuppence an hour.
