Those in glasshouses.........

Where have i said there isnt? He is correcting a post saying that they owe money to players when its a fact they do owe money to players.

And the people that owe money in Limerick are nothing to do with LOI football now so are not telling others how to run things like the GUST lads who were involved in the club that owes people money.

Can you tell me which of the members of GUST board owe money? They inherited a debt which had nothing to do with them. The name Galway United is still currently there unlike Limerick 37 or whatever they were called.

Your arguments are at the best ignoract of the facts and at worse inflammatory imo.

GUST took over the running of the club for a year in what time they ran up a debt, some of which was money owed to players

They took over the running of Galway United when you take over the club you take over the debts. Pat O Sullivan took over debts when he took over from Jack McCarthy.

The club that are there now are Limerick 37 they just changed name.

The team that GUST took over last year owe people money the same way that the Danny Drew run Limerick FC owe people money...Obviously they wont owe money if they come back as GUST FC best way to get rid of debts in LOI is to let one club die and bring back another.

Lets not forget Mervue went down to Waterford and won 4 nil in the last 16.

Of course all the GUST heads are jumping on this as more proof as to why they should be running a Galway based club this year. They're going to sweep in and sign John Russell and Stephen O Donnell and Vinny Faherty etc. Well lads, don't expect to be paid on time or at all.

Let it go man, Cian plays for mervue now and not salthill. Where did GUST say they were bringing back all those lads or even say they would be paying players?

Keep the faith, truckitup !

Obviously I mean the way Galway United Supporters Trust FC has been run.

Thanks Truckitup how come you never post in the Mervue section and you couldnt even use the same name on 2 Forums. I guess it has to be Johnny as if Mervue pull out he will be the most affected.

Our Mission statement is "One City, One County, One Team" which speaks for itself. The FAI have gone public saying they want one team for Galway Representing all strands of opinion in Galway. We had the support of all bar 2 Teams in Galway City,County and Beyond when we applied last season plus a sound business plan which the FAI didnt even bother looking at.

We are willing to work with anyone to see this happen but as of yet we are the only Club willing to sit down and talk.

**Dodge** · 19/09/2012, 1:09 PM

In fairness, its a bit rich of you to bitch about the two teams who are already in the league because they don't want to accomodate you.

yeah, yeah bigger fan base blah blah.

What exactly have Mervue and Salthill done wrong? They're doing what they feel is right. if they choose to leave the league so be it, but if they choose to stay in it, and continue to pay their bills. Let them do it

**gufct** · 19/09/2012, 1:33 PM

Dodge few slight mistruths in your statement. If you want to see LOI football wiped out in Galway so be it guess ill have to give up on it as the wisemen in the Pale and Limerick know all bout Galway Soccer.Mervue have been true to their ideals whereas Salthill threw out theirs.

**Dodge** · 19/09/2012, 1:36 PM

How did you get that I want football out of Galway? Point out the 'mistruths'

Answer the question;

What exactly have Mervue and Salthill done wrong?

**bluewhitearmy** · 19/09/2012, 2:03 PM

As long as Mervue and Salthill are there then LOI is still in Galway though.

You say "We are willing to work with anyone to see this happen but as of yet we are the only Club willing to sit down and talk."but why should either of them talk to ye or try and help ye after the way members of GUST have slagged them off in public? Ye were very quick to point out anything negative ye got the chance to and now expect them to help ye out. Why should they do anything for ye?

In terms of the league format for next year - I just saw a comment from a Harps official saying it's 'as you were'.

**gufc2000** · 19/09/2012, 2:33 PM

Whether that means two divisions of 12 and 7, or two divisions of 12 and an expanded First Division is anyone's guess so for now

Mons back in the Premier so.

**nigel-harps1954** · 19/09/2012, 2:55 PM

They'd really want to lower fee's for clubs participating in the First Division at least so. 7 teams would be a disgrace.

GUST, Tralee, Cobh, Fanad, Kilkenny, Carlow, Monaghan and whoever else is available, please do feel free to join.

EDIT: On another note, could we see the return of the First Division cup to increase the amount of games?
