A Shamrock Rovers supporter preaching about bigotry. You couldnât make it up
Green orangeman alert
The gah lads getting all bitter because its pointed out, correctly, that soccer has more participation and less funding. A strange breed

Yes, weird thatâs their take away from.this shameful episode
What was the bigotry mate?
I think the issue here was the soccer fraternity whinging about lack of facilities
Were these facilities privately funded? Ballygunner must have serious wedge if they arenât renting out the all weather and lights on an hourly rate.
Some are and others I assume get grants via the sports grants scheme . Every club ( soccer or GAA )in the country that meet this criteria can seek these grants
What criteria?
Iirc it centres on ownership , a percentage of self funding , participation etc
on the one club for life thing, I get the benefits of that, but itâs very closed in, you could play with the same 20 or 30 lads all your life only and never leave the parish. It isnât easy to break in to another closed loop if you have to move too far for work and lads would generally just pack it in unless theyâre motivated enough to drive back
With the soccer, over 20 years playing adult, Iâve played with hundreds upon hundreds of lads from all over the world. Every dressing room was different every year.

Youâve thousands of lads all over the country regularly driving home from Dublin or Cork or Galway to their home parishes to train or play with their club at every level, Junior A all the way to Senior.
Some choose to transfer to a club where they now reside, which is in my opinion the only reason anyone should ever transfer from their club

Thats almost cult like. Driving a few hours to train for an amateur possibly junior club team.
Yes thats spelled correctly
A big Comeagh derby in the Waterford Senior Football Final tomorrow.
I was surprised to read that itâs the first clash of Rathgormack v The Nire in the showpiece event.
