What a huge international event

GAA, unlike rugby, does not incorrectly claim to be a global sport.

Is that so mate?

The GGA is played all around the world as far as I know. The GGA gave a World Cup and even went to Fenway Park this year. Laughing at the IRFU for not winning a World Cup bid versus two large countries who have hosted major sporting events like SA and France is pretty gas when you’re trumpeting the parochial GGA.

Was he worried about his whiskey being oxidised when he vomited this out.

Sure you’ll give it one more year and we’ll get someone to step in next year.

Ok so…

Seconded.

You love comparing apples and oranges to try and make a misleading stat appear factual. GAA is domestic apart from a few ex-pats. It is not global. Rugby while played in a few commonwealth countries isn’t global either despite what the likes of yourself and Jerry Thornley would have you believe.

The IRFU showed both their incompetence and arrogance in spades during the laughable World Cup pitch. I find it amusing to see rugby shills’ attempts at belittling the GAA. The reason being that on an international stage it is one of the few “sports” that it compares favourably to and that’s purely because GAA is not played internationally.

I compared Rugby to GAA once and only in relative terms, you like to compare them in actual terms which is ridiculous but consistent on your part.

Your obsession with justifying how you believe the GAA outstrips rugby is pathetic.

A dark element took stewardship of the association around 09/10. It has festered and taken hold and its symptoms are revealing themselves all the more apparent as the years go on.

I have only compared rugby and GAA once and that was in relative terms. Surprised that someone like you would consider doing something once as an obsession.

Your posts are littered with put downs of rugby to raise up your preferred subject at the time. its dodgykeeperesque, and I can give no greater insult.

You can’t say the IRFU should look towards the GGA when the GGA has no track record of successful international events.

  • GGA World Cup: failure
  • international rules: failure
  • Fenway Park stick ball: mediocre results
  • New York and London in the “All Ireland”: mediocre

The Women’s Rugby World Cup is a bigger event than any of these GGA attempts ffs and women’s rugby has been taken seriously now for about 10 years because of the Olympics.
