Waterford Hurling (now incorporating intermediate football) 2013 and subsequent years

[EstebanSexface]

These are the levels you’ll stoop to, to excuse under 10’s getting banned from a GAA facility for no other reason than they play soccer.

I suppose it’s a matter of taste.

Thankfully not all in the GAA share your mindset

You have just made a total fool of yourself.

Typical old Joe Duffy shite about the childer.

you’ve just spent two days calling me that, despite admitting to agreeing with my initial point.

I do not agree with you at all.

You are a sort of bigot against semantics as well, clearly.

You think it is ‘sophisticated’ to be anti GAA and pro soccer. I think you are deluded.

The question not asked: what about all the other sports organizations in Waterford? Why are they not making their facility available? Is Ballygunner GAA Club the only sports organization in Waterford with a relevant facility? And why does Bohemian FC not have its own facility?

But: the childer, the childer…

The standard populist guff.

[EstebanSexface]

You’ve put up a lot of scaffolding and straw men around yourself on this topic, as you can’t square the circle and call the rule out for what it is.

You talk about sophistication yet take pride in ridiculing another human for liking a different sport in public.

Big words can’t mask ignorant intent and by God you are a pig of a man

The problems with lads like you – and I have seen it a million times – is that ye cannot just like soccer and get on with it. Oh no. This great liking for soccer also has to include the anti Gah bullshit and double standards and hypocrisy and bigotry.

I am indifferent to soccer – but well aware of its underbelly as regards hooliganism and racism. Calling the GAA a “whore” represents – as Chairman Dan pointed out – quite monumental levels of delusion.

[EstebanSexface]

It must be an awful burden to think you know so much about others and know so little about yourself

Yet another straw man

Keep on with the straw stuff. Fire ahead, so to speak.

To prove yourself a hypocrite and a bigot, someone with no sense of proportion and judgement, is quite some going.

[EstebanSexface]

There has been a one sided spewing of bigotry today, and its been all you. I’ve only mentioned the rule and this situation. .

So far you’ve mentioned showjumping, John Delaney, shinty, Manchester, hooligans and numerous other non related bits of bollocks.

All because you are afraid to call the rule what it is. Bigoted

Tis really amusing to see the bigotry tables turned on a soccer head…

@Malarkey

Here is the fiasco that was the whole Rule 42 ‘debate’. 20 years ago, the GAA – or a really large portion of it, rather – started saying in effect they no longer owned their main stadium. The idea that a soccer club is entitled to use a GAA facility arose at that moment. Hence we also had the more significant fiasco around Liam Miller’s testimonial in 2018. A soccer club is no more entitled to use a GAA facility than I am entitled to go for a swim in a lake on a golf course. We are talking about private property, not a public park.

The truth is that there is a far higher class of a volunteer in a GAA club, generally speaking, than in a soccer club. Soccer, among other aspects, is a failure of taste.

This is all correct.
I think that any GAA club should be allowed to allow anyone they want to use their facilities though. It’s not something that should be under central dictat, I don’t think. Sport, especially team sport in any form, should be facilitated wherever possible.
It should be up to the individual club to balance out the use/overuse Vs the financial side of things, just as they should be entitled to refuse if they wish.
The more team sport, the better for the population on the whole (though there are obvious caveats)

I am not even slightly bitter about anything. Then again, my emotional life does not centre on 22 multi millionaires moving around a pitch in an English city. So I have that advantage.

I do like bitters in a gin and tonic, though.

[EstebanSexface]

No,but it seems to centre on delighting in denying 10 year old children from playing sport and ridiculing people in public for having the temerity for enjoying a sport not under the association umbrella

A man clearly at peace with himself

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.

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 didn’t 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.

did mt sion sneak the odd senior football title??

Just the 5 of them.

It would have been 6 if the Brickeys supporters hadn’t run a load of horses on to pitch to get the final abandoned in what became known as the “Giddy Up” county final.

Junior Football Co. champions…I’d say ye’ve won more at football than hurling the last 15 years

Sure look it the wheel will turn again. At least we’re not winning county championships on ill gotten gains from soccer clubs.

Sure we should have beaten them this year. They’ve had a run of great club players, the Mahonys, Coughlan, Soki, but it isn’t younger they’re getting. Apart from young Fitzgerald what’s coming through isn’t an upgrade on them.
