I have no problem with a soccer club ā or a whatever club ā using a GAA facility. I think the current rule, while understandable, is a hypocrisy, in light of Croke Park being āopened upā.
I am just allergic to the standard guff trotted out by soccer heads.
I just drove by Ballymun Kickhams. There was gaelic football being played on it.
Iām not defending the FAI because they are indefensible.
Iām arguing that it is utterly wrong for the GAA to turn away local lads from paying for an advertised facility.
Iām being met with whataboutery, arrogance and insults which is very telling
One of the reasons why hurling has never spread to.most of the country
You are some flute where this subject is concerned.
A triumph of taste, you could say.
You must be looking in the mirror, so.
Iām playing no different a tune than you. āSoccer headsā
You agree with my argument and yet still somehow try to condescend
The argument about grants received from public funding is a bit of a strawman, all told.
If my neighbour received a grant for insulation/retrofitting/heat pump installation etc, does it mean Iām entitled to go into their house and take a shit wherever I like?
I most certainly do not agree with your āargumentā.
That the rule is wrong? You just said it a couple of posts up
You arenāt really - that is a central GAA rule and needs debating . The dogs on the street know the rule is there and it is being flouted .
If he has advertised the use of it for a price, you should be, its advertised to everyone but you, because you like something different. That is a problem.
Rules are rules. If the soccer crew here bothered to take the time to read the GAA rule book, rather than engaging in hysterical conspiracy theories screeching, that would have been pretty obvious. Rules can be changed, the Ban was lifted in the early 70ās, Members of Her Majestyās forces in Northern Ireland were allowed into the association. Iām sure this particular rule can be amended too if there is the will there amongst the clubs and members of the association to change it.
So no more 5 asides?
Theyll be closed within a year
The majority of your posts are about the EPL
Are you a soccer head
I said the rule is more than a bit hypocritical after rugby and soccer being played in Croke Park. But the notion that any sport, simply because it is a sport, is entitled to use another sportās facility remains complete bullshit in whatever way the issue gets framed. We all saw the shit show that was the Liam Miller Testimonial.
Again, I am asking you directly: are the people who run showjumping bigoted because they do not promote cycling? Yes or no.
Iām primarily a rugby and cricket man.
Hard to take lads seriously when they big up John Delaney and Queen Elizabeth
That posts more about football
