Would it now? Your descriptions are about as sharp as your mind.
How did Jack Boothman become GAA President, so?

have they grounds teams & trophies named after terrorists & racists?
have they an explicit political goal?
Have they had or do they have xenophobix rules?
Such naivety is really beautiful, I love Christmas.
So terrorism is bad now, is it?
Gobdaws like you should be prescribed like Prozac used to be. Ye truly are a great laugh.

its all about context
The Orange Order? The Pan Loyalist Front? And so forth?
Yes, in a word.
Plenty of terrorists to go round. David Trimble was in Vanguard. Ian Paisley Sr was one of the ladeens waving a gun license up a mountain after the Anglo Irish Agreement hoved into view.
Ian Paisley Jr, wearing a leather jacket, sat beside Billy Wright on a platform in Portadown. I wonder who paid for the jacket.
Need any more detail? I have plenty more.
By the way, could you tell us when a Catholic headed the Orange Order? The equivalent of Jack Boothman?
Thatâs a very good question

Except of course that you are not taking on a âpopulist stanceâ.
He is espousing a minority stance in the south of Ireland, that is being against a United Ireland.
There is also no apology for terrorism, just dealing with the reality.
A 50%+1 United Ireland would be a disaster. Referendums are easily hijacked by populism (which you claimed to hate) and there is no more populist a cause than a UI. A UI with Sinn FĂ©in as the victors, GGA grounds still named after terrorists et al will not be accepted.
love how when basic facts are presented to the Gahliban they turn into whataboutery
normal sports organisations thankfully are a million miles away from the GGA & the Orange order
Really? By whom?
Edit to add that unpacking your designation of âterroristsâ is another matter altogether.

Normal people
Nationalism and populism are not the same thing
Ah! Thatâs where youâre going wrong. The likes of yourself & Tim arenât normal people.
thank you
Indeed. Malarky seems to think that those of a Catholic or Nationalist bent would want to join the Orange Order. Why would they? The Orange Order is a religious organisation with a unionist ideology. If you want to knock on the door to them as a Catholic go ahead and ask, but their goals include the continuation of the Union so whilst you might disagree with them, they arenât actually harming their goal at the moment.
It is in the GGAâs interests for 32 county participation and for that to be cross community if there is to be a 32 county Republic. It still has serious sectarian issues within it - itâs continued sectarian ban on âforeign sportsâ, naming grounds after terrorists, clubs named after racists etc. This makes it a cold house for the other community and will be another impediment to a peaceful United Ireland.
Malarkey mentioning Jack Boothman again ffs, itâs like saying the US didnât have a racism problem because Obama was elected or that the Northern Ireland State before the Troubles was grand for Catholics because the first Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland was Catholic.

Nope, but there will be no more populist referendum than an Irish Unity one.
That is guaranteed with the continued existence of Provisional Sinn FĂ©in.
