No agenda here at all and no I'm not the source! Just giving some information on the subject. It's not a big deal, a lot of it blown out of proportion

Fair enough, was just more interested in your source and if he has an agenda, never really thought you were the source but stranger things have happened so had a little fish

From reports, it appears to be the content of the speech more so than the video clip. You make an important point here which I agree with. If someone is genuinely offended or annoyed, there are proper channels. Calling someone a rat or tout who on the face of it appears to have raised concerns is pretty appalling behaviour. The leak to the press is one thing but the idea that someone is a rat for raising concerns without knowing how that person went about it is something else. For clarity, not saying you said this.
As for the leak itself, we don't know how the information was disclosed. We can speculate and it is very possible there is an anti Kenny motive. We don't know this for certain.

So much unknown as you say, we don’t know the context of the concern being raised either, was it genuine, was it agenda driven. Fact is that whoever leaked it should, if known, be marched out of the association/set up and never allowed darken the door again.

Can’t wait til it’s all exposed. The rat that leaked it to the mail, and the rat in set up that had it in for Kenny (if different) - Shame on them, and deserve to be nowhere near any irish set up

Wheelo can speak for himself and clarify but I took that comment as in the way he clearly explained it and you highlighted it, someone having it for kenny as opposed to a genuine grievance.

well the person who made the complaint is not a rat but they should have raised it with the manager and should have left it That and not gone further. If they were not happy they had two choices it accept it and get on with it or step away. Once you escalate it you lose the trust of the manager.

For clarity: - whoever leaked it to that anti irish paper is a rat - whoever leaked it to the person that leaked it to an anti Irish paper is a rat - whoever was offended by something that by all accounts didnt register with the rest in dressing room is a f**king snowflake who should be nowhere near the international team. He should really read the words of our national anthem and then take a hike. Oh, and obviously if he said it to someone who further leaked it, hes a rat aswel as a snowflake.
Now go back to your point that it was speech rather than the video that was the issue. That quickly changed, didnt it? Video reviewed, nobody saw an issue with it. Then when nobody saw an issue with it, it's a speech that's the problem (that will never be proved, will always be a case of he said, he didnt say).
Give me a break - this was a stitch up job. Nobody in irish media seems to be taking it seriously - which is a big thing in itself as the knives could've been out for kenny on performances. It's only been an issue for an anti irish rag, a sun editor and 1 or 2 rats

Yes, the difficulty though is that we can't immediately assume it is agenda driven. Not saying we have to assume it is a genuine complaint either.
What if the leak came indirectly from a squad member/member of staff. One confides in a friend or family member and they end up leaking it to a journalist. Not saying that is what happened as we agree there is so much we don't know. I don't know what standard is required for the editor of a red top to run with a story. I assumed in general that the standard is having more than one source, ie having the story verified.

So both you and Wheelo can say for certain that it was agenda driven and there isn't a genuine grievance?

Why was it PG or something. |
It’s obvious to anyone that this whole incident has been blown out of all proportion.
I’m looking forward to it’s conclusion. Will be egg on the face of anyone who said they were upset over it and for the person that leaked it.
Regardless of when Kenny leaves the Ireland set up (hopefully it will be in many years to come), I hope those that were upset and those that leaked it are nowhere near the Irish set up again |

I never said that, read it again, I merely provided my opinion on wheelo meant in his post and what I took from it. Not sure how its unclear what I was saying.

re if agenda driven.
Only those in dressing room will know for definite.
We can only base our opinion on what we’ve read to date and make our own conclusions.
Agenda driven, snowflake or thick f**ker - doesn’t bode well either way

Not sure where you are coming from here, Ive made it as clear as I can that if it was a genuine concern (regardless how ridiculous it may be) then I have no issue once it goes through the proper channels. If it was agenda driven and mischievous, ie. done to cause harm to kenny or the team then thats completely different and that person or persons should never darken the door again.
My last post on what Wheelo said, was, and I repeat, me merely expressing my take on what he said, how I read it and the meaning I took from it. It really isn that difficult. Maybe you are trying now to deflect from your own overreaction and bed wetting when the story first broke, I dont know, but if you are going to suggest something about me, then Id appreciate you keep it factual to what I posted.
