Mod Election Poll

First topic message reminder :

I'll be leaving the presidential election until May when the other place closes down and our Gaelic brothers (and sisters) move in. But since its a wee bit quiet on here I thought we could just hold the moderator poll.

The official GAA moderator election, brought to you by, the dole que, and sponsored by, the welfare state- "that dream job always seems that bit further away when on british benifits!"

Now we want a nice clean campaign, yes ye can vote for yersel, no funny business in the ruck and make sure you bind properly in the scrum, and no eye gougin! The poll will last for 10 days. Let battle commence!

*In the interst of democratic viability please abstain from voting unless you are actually a regular on the "irish sports" board.*

Nobody's gonnae buy that. "Vote often"- that's not democratic, you only get one vote. We've already received a complaint.

I know how to spell Cari, but you know how temperamental recording artists can be. They need everything spelt out pho.....phoen....phoenet.....How it sounds.

Right, I am away for a couple of days.

No talking behind my back.

electioneering has been suspended on behalf of the Cari on uchtaraining party

Ok kids, I am back. The reticent voters still seem to be a little undecided and less than forthcoming than they have been.

Still no option to amend the vote. a motion that was passed by an overwhelming 66.6% but ho hum.

Cari has been working hard behind the scenes, taking in the New York Vs Roscommon Championship game in Gaelic Park during part of a good-will mission taking out sliotars and camans to the street kids of Brooklyn, Hells kitchen, Queens and the Bronx. But she is back now, ready to take this election by storm.

You can now cancel votes.

woo hoo!!!

Thanks kb

I can't believe it. what idiot changed their vote to GW?!!

VOTE CARI!!

Jeezo, *rubs eyes*. I thought I was hallucinating for a second, somebody has actually voted. I was beginning to think that our inane drivel was doing more to drive voters away.

Where were you RB, up in Scotlandshire to see the celts?

I sure was in Scotlandshire.

No GAA on sunday but I was chatting with a lad who played hurling with de la salle in Waaaaaaaaaaterford.

On returning home I visited the O'Neills shop in Strabane where I purchased a Cork raincoat thing for £10....a bargain at thrice the price

Changed my vote from myself to Cari.Vote Cari!!!! The Cardiff Dub for head of this club!

ooh, that is a good tag line

Cari is in the lead!!!

I hope I get a mention in the acceptance speech.
all my knocking on doors might be paying off.

Whit!? Turn yer back for a wee while and look whit happens! This election is a sham it's been rigged- who invited the FIFA officials, there's no bribes or knighthoods here.

Thats it, I'm taking my ball and going home!

we changed the electoral boundaries to ensure a Welsh majority.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

aaaaarghh!!! who is voting!!!

VOTE CARI!!!

Oh all right then if i have to do it....just means you make your own sarnies.

And you'll have to help me when someone's being an orse and I have to kick them off.

Also, we should have a coalition in case I get kidnapped by aliens or something?

Cari, we'll support you 100%.

I can be your chief whip....no.... deputy chief whip.

A lot of floating voters out there.

No chance of winning now. Hell, you've even convinced me.
If RB's the deputy chief whip then I'll happily be the chief whip.
If someone comes on to be an orse I'll kick their head in.

this is landslide territory now

Can I get a ministry under D'Hondt?

keep an eye on this one. a coup d'etat waiting to happen.

With your username RB, I'd think coup d'etat's were more your dept.
Should we let a unionist in? If we do I think he should follow the usual laws of citizenship- he must 1) be bearded and 2) have a county to support so we can bully him when his team is knocked out

Speaking of which RB, I was browsing not606 when I was bored and I came accross your profile in the GAA section. There's some asshole on it calling you for whit on the visitor message bit.

Why not? It's Irish Sports after all!

racism is rife on that board and I was one of many who called him on it. He is a moderator so he can write what he likes about me and change what I write about him. he is desperate for attention and I am foolish to give it to him.

No votes coming in at the moment.

I had another skip through not606 again just out of interest after the attack on Lenny at tynecastle. Some of the stuff on there (the ragers bit in particular) is bang out of order. Its more or less the same kind of cr@p I'm hearing from a lot of rangers fans near me. That's why I don't bother much with not606, it seems to have a lot of morons on it with not much decent debate. I never paid much attention before, but, I hope the hoops win the SPL just to shut them up. Some people's reaction to what's happened to him is a disgrace.

When does this election end?

um...first week in June?

when the 'migration' is complete.

You will be like Moses leading his people out of egypt.

GW, I can't help but have a go back at them over there. But as the old saying goes, never argue with an idiot because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

More votes being cast, gonnae be a close yin- a plaid cymru/sinn fein coalition in the works perhaps? Seems like old fashioned hard-line socialism has lost its appeal, the RWMP will have to restructure for the uachtarain election, even the party leader voted plaid.

Well thats the SPL done, and, as usual here the rubber men are out on the street and the local boozer has turned into a union flag. Hopefully celtic can lift the scottish cup, it'd be good if neil lennon can win something after everything he's had to put up with this season.

If we had an AV system, they would all be transferred to Cari.

I had all my grieving gone about the soccerball before a ball was even kicked today. i was still grumpy

I just hope everyone gets home safe and sound this evening. Everyone loves a noise up but as long as it is that and no more.

In all honesty, the start of the sunday game today helped me get out of a funk after the game. The match was atrocious but it clearly delineated the gaa and soccer seasons for me. I am mentally in GAA mode now (although I am emotionally always in Celtic mode too)

Next weekend is a big one.

Scottish cup
Groves v degale
Nathan Cleverley v Braehmer
the final soccer day in Englandshire
THE SUNDAY GAME

Well it is a UK website. The British can't appreciate the greatness of Ireland's electoral system.

Aye, appart from some of their usual songs and a few loyalist banners that's what it was. The end of the SPL season and the start of MLB and proper GAA is a real breath of fresh air. The local morons are less visible, some great sport on the telly (and RTE player) and all coinciding with my favourite season of the year (considering the weather isn't as bad as it is right now). Expected a better game and crowd in ballybo, will be intereting to see how the jackeen hurlers get on this year too.

My next weekend of sport-
GAA Coverage (radio and/or RTE highlights)
The Yankees have a big 3 game subway series in the Bronx against the NY Mets (cross-city rivals) starting Friday night
Celtic game (if I've got time)

Looking forward to the final day of ruggerball in englandshire and Ireland in a fortnight, don't know why Munster V Leinster has been scheduled for Thomond when it can fill the new Lansdowne (I absolutely refuse to call it the aviva).

G-War - nobody calls it the Aviva...it's always New Lansdowne or Lansdowne.

I'm going to the Heineken Cup this weekend. Meeting up with a load of 606ers. Should be some craic. Then Sunday I'll try and pick up some GAA.

I reckon my vote will be hindered by Liz's visit and all the bad publicity around it.

that is excellent Cari. Going out there, putting in the hard yards, meeting the constituents and potential constituents.....

It is no wonder you are running away with this election.

I was at the cup final (neil back) at twickenham....Great days. I could drink then. those days are over.

Welcome to the new posters.

Cari welcomes your vote

Shocked at people actually voting for FF after how they made an @rse of the economy. Do they actually want the country to recover!? This is all your fault sportydan, hope your happy!

Sinn fein polling well, nice to see te greening of the south.

Sinn Fein are trying to throw this election.

As Uncle Ben said to his nephew peter. "with great power comes great responsibility"

You are all a filthy shower of scumbags....vote Cari! <ok>

Rb,

R u secretly Tom Elliot??

More like Fred Elliot.....









I say more like Fred Elliot.

Sinn Fein scum.





NB. This is what Tom said. Not me.

Cheers RB I try my best. That's what being a good socialist is all about eh.
The unique thing about this election is nobody wants to win it, there's been backstabbin, dirty tricks galore and we've got at least two candidate's who haven't even joined to do any campaigning.

Ah, democracy isn't it great, it's what seperates us from elliot's mob...

they are waiting in the long grass for their chance to strike.....like the s(h)nakes they are

when is the closing date?

Feck knows Rebel. This is the longest running election in history.

belgium hasn't had a government for over a year as far as i know.....they haven't done too badly

Aye, maybe we don't need one...

And who mods the mods themselves, eh?

Apparently they thought this poll was a joke?!

Sorry for the confusion over the poll! We only thought it was a joke as none of the admin were consulted initially and its been running for months!

As for getting a mod in here - not sure it really needs one at the moment. Quite a few sections dont really justify the need at this moment in time but the leading candidates in this poll are certainly at the top of our list for future modship.

If anything needs looking at, there are a few global mods (pr4wn and fernando) who can help out as well as the admin team - just let us know.

Any questions regarding it, please let me know.

Sorry Lads (and Lass) and Hobo. I was going to consult the admins once we had a winner, but I think the original time limit I put on it was changed (I only wanted it to run for 10 days). Besides, it seemed like nobody wants the Job anyway. We've also got two candidates who haven't even done any campaigning. If there needs to be a winner then since Cari is in the lead I nominate her for the job of GAA Moderator, Uchtarain of the v2 GAA republic and defender of the people.

BTW RB, I think we've done well better than the belgians.

I TOLD YOU ALL THIS ELECTION WAS A SHAM!!

It was a joke and we don't really need one and nobody really wants to do it either.....but as a ceremonial position, like 'honorary mod' it would be nice.

(we are well behaved really and don't need modding). Can we curse even a small bit. even if there is a goal in a game that we really care about?

you think on politicsinbelgium.com they are having the same non-debate?

"I don't want it"

"neither do I"

I want those other heads to turn up....they said they would.....THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD!
