I don’t think they were self loathing at all. They were Unionist in outlook, unapologetically so, for most of their history.

Even in 1987?

Of course.

Not me anyway. It’s common enough knowledge. I see what Mi Khunt is trying to do but he made a giant cock of it.

How can it be common knowledge if it’s rugby related?

[myboyblue]

It’s an amusing anecdote told about the silly/bizarre things that happens in Irish sport/politics Mr Khunt

Lovers of TROT festival are generally familiar with it also.

Of course.

Maybe they should use GTSQ as the Irish national anthem at all rugby matches? I also heard they postponed some club game in Munster because it clashed with King George’s funeral. If the queen was to die on the same day as a Munster- Ulster game would the game be called off?

I would expect so.

Leinster v Munster would be interesting in that event.

How to tighten a loose tap from underneath a bathroom sink.

Also how to disconnect (and reconnect) a tap above the penny valve.

Also (finally) how to swear just low enough so that the rest of the house cane hear you before you learn the other two things I’ve just mentioned and you’re covered in water.

@ChocolateMice went through that ordeal with the taps towards the twilight of the summer months.

Incorrect. The GAA is also a very inclusive organisation. They named one of the association’s most important trophies after a Protestant. There’s also the small matter of the GAA inviting the RUC/PSNI Gaelic football team to play the Gardai in Croke Park. Croke Park being the location where a similar police force to the RUC, butchered innocent people attending a GAA match . A small but noble gesture for cross border relations for this great organisation.

Why could you not operate at normal volume? Are you one of those fellas who strips houses of copper?

Untill very recently members of the RUC and British army were banned from playing gga, as well as homosexuals. GGA grounds are named after terrorists aswell, it is not a very inclusive organisation. You could also not play soccer “a foreign game” the muldoons used to call it

Rule 21 was another example of the GAA’s willingness to change. Another noble gesture from this great organisation.

Did members of the RUC and British Army want to play homosexuals? Who banned them from doing so?

[Tassotti]

the gga had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century
