It isnât relevant and is a bit ridiculous.
The rules is the rules.
NO GARRISON GAMES
That was some point that Ozzie kicked for Mount Sion in that Junior Football match. He could nearly get Footballer of the Year on the back of that one score alone.
Very enjoyable football match.
The question is piercingly relevant and your unwillingness/inability to answer it says everything about your personal hypocrisy and bigotry.
Your 'âpositionâ is ludicrous. You are basically arguing that the GAA has an obligation to facilitate and promote codes beyond its own codes. Yet you make this demand of no other sports organization in Ireland. To single out the GAA in this regard is straightforward bigotry and hypocrisy â and a failure in taste.
Look the same lads can go in and book the facilities for a game of 5 aside without issue. The money is welcome and the sport, just not another local club.
A choosy whore
Iâm not singling out the GAA in this regard, Iâm responding to a bigoted rule, if that seems like it is me âsinglingâ out the GAA itâs because they are the only organization with such a rule, at least they are the only ones implementing it.
As I said, lotâs of GAA clubs are utilizing the lights, all weather and showers at Midleton FC, there is no discrimination according to sport
Here is the story

Waterfordâs Bohemian FC were this week told their Academy of 4-10 year-old players couldnât use Ballygunner GAAâs indoor after an anonymous âthird partyâ complainer went to GAA HQ to highlight it.
According to GAA rules their facilities arenât supposed to be open to non-GAA sports, but may be open to other activities if sanctioned by the central council.
Ballygunner GAA are happy to see the kids from Bohemian FC (many of whom also play Gaelic with them), but were threatened with sanctions themselves if they didnât cut them off.
Defend that, putting under 10âs out into the cold, some lads that play with the club themselves⌠youâre defending that. What is broken in you?
if that is good taste youâre welcome to it
What is mt sion approach to football Fagan?
kick a bit when the hurling is over I suspect
As good an excuse as any to get together for a drinking session in the winter.
I played in an intermediate final for Mount Sion. We didnât have a football for the warm up, so we asked the opposition (Killure) for a lend of one of theirs. In fairness to them they obliged.

You are caught out, badly. You have exposed yourself as a bigot against the GAA. You are demanding something of the GAA you see fit not to demand of any other sports organization. The fact there are so many soccer heads around the place, especially in the media, tends to obscure the ludicrousness and the bigotry of this âpositionâ.
End of.

It must have been a while ago if it was Killure you were playing
It wasnât today or yesterday
Classy.
Not a classy way to concede the argument â but thanks.
No one associates FAI soccer heads with class.

Youâre as bigoted against other sports as the association, clearly.
Defending putting under 10s out in the cold and talking about taste in the same breath.
The GAA hiding behind some bullshit technicalities is a complete joke. If a club has a bar and function room, can they hire it out for a party or funeral or whatever? Not GAA activities, so shouldnât be allowed. If a club has fundraised and got an amenity in place that they then hire out, it should be up to them, and them alone as to who they hire it to, whether it be soccer, rugby, yoga, tiddlywinks or whatever. Some bolloxology about not letting soccer being played is a joke. As the club in question and many others would point out, itâs nearly always the same people in their playing soccer as it would be in playing hurling or football another time.

My two youngest go up to the Creche on the Ballygunner club premises for a few hours of after school twice a week. Iâm sure youâll be relieved to hear that we got notification over the weekend that the Creche in unaffected and itâs normal service Monday afternoon.

Itâll happen for a few weeks and then go back on. Hopefully, for all parties. Same thing happened faythe harriers in wexford Town when they opened their astro turf pitch. Someone ratted on them and big hoo ha made for a while but died down and went back to normal again. One of the facilities I play soccer in when we started, the lad managing the place said if anyone comes in and asks what we are doing, tell them weâre playing ground gaelic football.
