Give it another few years and you will going to watch a championship match and will have to sit there in silence because the players wont be used to people cheering and shouting.
I doubt this will happen pal.
They’re amateur players and they all HAVE TO go to work in the morning. They shouldn’t have to put up with people shouting and cheering at them on their days off. I’d like Liam O’Neill to set up a committee to review this issue in more depth.
He’s already all over this. Its in hand.
[QUOTE=“tazdedub, post: 981545, member: 312”]Basically it is address the problems of some parents who are shout abuse at the kids matches. Now they are introducing this silent sidelines to no abuse can be shouted. here is a link to an article about it.

I think a few its been tried in a few GAA clubs already. I’d say the idea is less that it would come in all the time but more about raising awareness that it is a problem and get people to think about what fuckwits they’re being.
Don’t cod yourself its a massive problem these days way bigger than in our day. You have parents observing training in some cases ffs. Everyone thinks they’re an expert and it’s really bad for kids especially at a very young age when they should be enjoying the game.
In my day, parents didn’t bother their bollix going to see their children play. They were too busy doing things like working and washing shitty nappies by hand, and cooking dinners. The only supporters we had were Peggy Robinson and Mag Mount Sion, who were too busy chain smoking their way through 40 Sweet Afton to be roaring abuse.
Same to a large extent in my day too - which is the late 80s and 90s
Small stand alone urinals with too regular of a flushing system.
You have to stop mid stream to avoid the thing overflowing. Then wait for the water/urine level to reduce. This may cause considerable discomfort.
That fucking Coke ad with the Ting Tings song in it. Just when you’ve erased that abomination from your memory they start bombarding you with it.:mad:
What you have nowadays is useless cunts on the dole who have nothing better to do than go along and relive their wasted youth through their youngsters. This is a good idea and is worth trying.
There is a cunt of an ad on the radio for an Aussie sports bar on Parnell street. The Woolshed. I hate it, and the cunt with the feeble Aussie accent.
+1
Cursing, giving and receiving verbal abuse and bullying are important aspects of life and it’s crucial to develop skills in this area when you’re young. I have fond memories of the late Jasper Maguire driving the Faythe Harriers team bus to underage games. “You little fucking cunts…shut the fuck up or I’ll go down there and bate the fucking heads off you.”
It’s as gay an accent as I’ve heard in a while . Is it for some kind of woofter bar?
Father Maguire?
And look at you now, broken down on the scrap heap, don’t think for a second it isn’t as result of Jasper’s abusive relationship with you.
Sounds like Rugby
A tower of ignorance, a pillar of hate. What a wonderful culture they have.
