    I thought the same but didn't want to speak too soon !!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Brian Lennox's name is being badied about left, right and centre, but you and all the others are extremely coy about the names of all these people supposedly telling the "truth".
    If you want to have a discussion about morality, have a long hard look at your own version of it first.

    Hardly "falling" for it. Merely pointing out the dreary predictability of it all....

    i'm not just citing Lennox as the reason for all this. This is just what a person recently very involved with the club had to say. the morals im talking about are my own, and believe me i thought long about posting this message. i've done it in a way so as not to break the trust of someone. i could have said a lot more. theres an article in ShedEnd.com's system thats probably never going to be published.

    So you "don't break the trust of somebody", by naming them, but go ahead and post what they said, blackening a person's name without first asking that person to confirm deny what you were told, or give him the right to state his side of the story. Pretty skewed "morals".......

    its not the person who said this's trust i dont want to break. its someone else. you don't know the situation so either take the story at face value or don't bother replying.

    So why post a thread if you don't want people replying?
    I'm supposed to just read what you post and believe it?
    You don't really like hard questions, do you?

    you're not supposed to do anything. i'm just advising. if you're going to complain that i wont tell you who said this, save it. you're clogging up a thread that should be discussing why the club is so lacking in transparency with whinging posts about morality and how you dont want to read these threads anymore. hadnt you agreed not to read my threads anymore anyway?

    Dear Foot.ie posters,

    If you don't want to see threads comprised of unattributed commentary, rumour and supposition, try ignoring them. Did your momma ever tell you to "ignore them and they'll go away"? She was right you know.
