Dublin is finished. Hard understand why anyone would stay there voluntarily

Would you watch the odd Bob Bradley cup game?
That’s why I watch it at home on the GAAGO. Safer. Micky v Jim this year could be a banger.

Aye, there’s some super clubs in Ulster but we struggle outside of it. The Donegal clubs almost never make an impact in the province, bar Gaoth Dobhair’s surprise run a good few years back, but that team was jammed with county players, ex county lads, and county minors. I think for many years the GAA had a lot more involvement in people’s identity in the occupied six, and the success of the Derry, Tyrone, Armagh and Down teams reflected this. Now, the shooting has long stopped at the pinnacle of it’s power, I don’t think the newest generation of kids feel that the GAA represents their culture, like it did in the olden days. With lads getting shot coming in or out of GAA grounds by the security forces, it was part an act of rebellion to turn up to train and play. The same with the cross lads, with the army unit being a non-stop thorn in their side to function and exist.

Good valid points
Back in my day coaching, playing, travelling to and from matches etc etc
Playing or partaking in our national sports branded you in some ppls minds ,
Has a few boxing matches and scuffles with the army and cops in my younger days simply for holding a hurl otw to a venue,
The Uber cunts used obviously look at our fixtures, and as all our matches were across the only bridge in Derry at the time ( Craigavon) and they’d practically a 24/7 checkpoint on it ,
The whures held us each n every time,
Just adding to the hate we had for them
Wernt cross famous for taking grants from the Brits

They probably felt entitled to them considering the British army built a barracks on their pitch.

How will we excuse all the rest they’ve done?
Would u blame them?
Anytime the Brits wrecked a door or gate or kitchen floor

They gave you a search and damage form to be signed
Irrespective if the cunts didn’t put all the damage done on it,
Your choice - sign and get some compensation
Don’t sign and get Fuck all!
That’s shite, but the current building is shite also. Dubliners have been complaining about it for years. Not sure where the nostalgia for it is coming from today
Fuck Dubliners, they haven’t a notion. Stephens Green is the grandest
The top two floors are completely empty because the whole thing is a shit design.

Oh I thought you were just talking about the aesthetic from the outside.
Is that Stokes Place?
