Can't wait to see all the moaners from the blog comments page at the AGM at the end of the month.
Should make a stirring occasion to see them use the same colourful language in addressing the committee and members e.g. "absolute disgrace", "farcical", "Ruining the game of hockey" etc. etc.
I wonder how they will be able to back up their accusing statements when faced with the actual volunteers and not sitting behind their computer monitors...
Buddy i might be wrong! But the point of leaving comments on this blog is so that people can raise issues or give opinions if they so wish.
So please get off your high chair and say something constructive.
The State of Division 2 surely must be an item for priority discussion at the AGM.
For the remaining teams in the divsion 2 a realistic and sustainable plan must be developed for the league and a new structure formalised and approved by all the teams.
The prospect of playing just 10 league games is not attractive, especially when it is already difficult enough to compete with Div 1 sides and improve the standard across the league.
Similarly if you make teams play each other 3 or 4 times it makes the league quite boring and itl end up similar to Scottish Football.
A proper plan needs to be put in places. Certainly needs to be discussed in my view
5:41 - True, Your dead right...but what I was getting at (and its rife among Irish society as a whole) is that they bitch and moan and snipe yet when they get a true opportunity to have their say, where are these people??
I certainly will be saying something constructive...but it certainly wont be here where no one is going to do anything about it (true?), it'll be where it matters...at the AGM.
Where will you be?
