Both sides have now accepted binding arbitration. There should be a solution in the next day or two.
Should be interesting.

Hmm...I've heard of people talking through their backside, but listening through it is quite novel.
Heard any bum notes lately?

Teddy Holland and his Selectors have stood down under the terms of the binding arbitration. The players will have 2 members on the selection panel to agree a new manager.
The players have agreed not to strike again.
From how I understand the early reporting of the binding arbitration, the players have more or less gotten everything they wanted.

More than 2 days later, Holland is still in situ, at least until tomorrow's county board meeting.
Fair play to him. At least he didn't make it easy for them by resigning. Hope the players and board are proud of themselves.

The players should quite rightly be proud. They have won everything they asked for (including some things they didn't ask for) and have been fully vindictated by the binding arbitration put forward by Kieran Mulvahy.
The fact that the Cork County Board will now have to sack Teddy Holland should show everyone that the CCB will do everything to protect there own position.
If they had any decency after tonights meeting where TH will be formally sacked they should resign.

A Cork GAA club delegate has predicted on the An Fear Rua discussion forum today that the delegates will vote tonight NOT to sack Holland and his selectors, and will, in effect, reject the Kieran Mulvey arbitration deal. It will be very interesting if this happens...
Yeah a great victory. Well done guys
I think an ideal solution would be for the Cork board to resign, Teddy Holland to resign and the Cork football and hurling teams thrown out of the 2008 league and championship. Let them all pay a price for the last couple of months stupidity.
Agreed.Yeah a great victory. Well done guys

All the Cork players have proven is that they can bully their county board into overturning a democratic decision. Shame on them.

Democracy? Don't make me laugh. What kind of democracy allows one man to stay in charge for 35 years? How democratic was he when he pushed through the Cork position on rule 42?

Thrown out of the championship? Wake up. Why would the GAA throw Cork out of the championship?
Who would fill Croke Park in late August and early September?
Award points to the teams Cork should have played and didn't fulfill but thrown out of the championship?? Get real.

Don't worry. If Frank wants him gone he will go.
Now all he will be thinking about will be protecting his own position. No one stays in a position for 35 years without learning some tricks of self perservation.

How come then, he and his selectors did not resign at the weekend (as you previously incorrectly claimed)?
Certainly not Cork unless its a final thats for sure

I would expect he now realises what a patsy he was for the CCB and may now try to make things difficult for them.
While I have no time for the man, I do believe he was used by the CCB.
He may now be coming to that realisation himself.
If he didn't accept the job offer when the players asked that no one take the position while they were in dispute with the CCB he would now be in a position to accept the job (if indeed he was first choice) now that Kieran Mulvahy has found in favour of the players in his binding arbitration.

No one fills Croke Park for semi finals (except the Dubs playing at home when they get out of the pubs on time) but Cork would bring a larger following than any other county.
Indeed we filled it in 2003 in the semi final against Galway.
Central Council will think of the bottom line. That is why Cork will not be thrown out of the championship.
