āA leading GGA scribeā 
never heard of him.
A bogball manager writes a book about hurling and a journalist nobody has heard of quotes it and you claim this as some kind of validation for your bigoted anti-ethnic views. Must try harder.

Eh Paul Rouse is the great GAA historian mate.
Whatās that got to do with your ignorance of Rouse?
Unless heās read the book, he (TSG) is basing his views on the article by the journalist nobody has heard of. Itās a shit article that reaches simpleton conclusions, understandable that he (TSG) finds it compelling.
Again, nothing to do with your initial ignorance of Rouse.
Have you read the book?
Yes. Iād advise you to do likewise and Rouses back catalogue.
Educate thyself
Would you agree with the articleās conclusions that the failure of āweakerā hurling counties, mostly north of the Galway Dublin line, is a failure by the GAA and that the GAA had no significant role in the rise of Irish nationalism and the physical force movement? Not having read the book I canāt say whether the journalist is accurately reflecting what the author wrote or concluded.
Yes
Rouse would be one of the most respected voices out there on GGA history and also Irish sports history.
@padjo hasnāt said anything.
Iām saying youāre using a a shit article by a journalist nobody has heard of to back up your bigoted anti-ethnic views.
Eh. @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy has at least two wives of different ethnicities so he canāt be āanti-ethnicā, whatever that is.
Itās gas that now it is societally more acceptable to remember the First World War that the GGA are promoting their involvement.
Brazen and shameless, you have to admire it in a lot of ways.
So, itās the GAAās fault that no county north of the Galway Dublin divide has won an AI hurling title?
Do you think itās the FAIās fault?
