Shouldn't you be beating up a Latvian somewhere?
They are very nasty elements within the GAA, but the majority of its members are decent sporting people.
Besides, petty and parochial are more readily applied to your neck of the woods...
Thats what they do. They are nicknamed the Grab All Association for a reason.
And less and less of us are anymore. GAA membership and playing numbers are way down and last year saw a slump in attendences.
I think you must have gotten a sliotar too many to the head. I was the one commending the FAI for their stance.
As I said in the other thread, its just a pity other sports who have signed up for the "Show the Racism the Red Card" campaign haven't implemented the programme.
The FAI are to be commended.
Its just a pity they have such a nasty grassroots membership full of racists.
Would I like to share a campaign with these people? I dont think so.
At least they didn't spread broken glass over it, which is what the GAA in Kerry used to do to football pitches.
Its progress I suppose.
Why would the GAA spread broken glass over one of their own football pitches?

Can we try and keep this to the topic at hand and not have one of these free ranging GAA/FAI bashing threads? Cos if I have to intervene here I'll be cracking skulls.
Dan Sullivan. I was back but we still couldn't all have a vote.

The broken glass was on local football club facilities and is well documented as you know.
The pitch in this instance is held in trust by the GAA for the community and Croke Park have 'instructed' the local club to annexe it for GAA use only. Are you seriously going to try and claim that if the GAA have always owned the pitch that they just let a local football club use it for free for 20 years? Pull the other one.
Between trying to get their grubby hands on Lansdowne Road, Abbotstown, Tallaght, Lusk and now this, there is a clear policy of liebestraum from the Gah blazers. Attempt to grab any land they can at no cost to the association. Is it 1950 again?
Hopefully the courts and local politicians stand up to these bullies and sporting fascists like they did in Tallaght
The GAA centrally instructed a local GAA club to take possession of a football pitch. This is part of a wider policy of the GAA.
Much as I see where you are coming from, I find it hard to see what other direction a discussion on this will head.

Yes. It appears that the Leinster league is riddled with racism.
I wouldn't like to be a non-national playing in the leinster league.
