Soccer Pitch ploughed during night on instrutions of GAA Club

Fermanagh is not in the Free State yet you, a Stater, interfered in the internal affairs of the GAA in Fermanagh. Consistency does not seem to be your strong point.

Ploughing up a football pitch at night is not an internal GAA matter.

Did we ********************. Stop trying to have GAA threads closed with wild accusations and irrlevance.

You folk sought use of Croke Park and of the GAA ground in Omagh, Co Tyrone long before the GAA showed any interest in using Lansdowne Road. And back in the 1980s you tried to get use of a GAA ground in Connemara for a European Cup match. You even had the then Bishop of Kerry, Dr Eamon Casey, trying to bully the GAA on your behalf.

You are changing the subject again. Do you admit to interfering in the internal affairs of the GAA in Fermanagh and then telling me not to interfere ein the internal affairs of the Free State. Be consistent.

If the football pitch is owned by the GAA, it is an internal GAA matter.

That Conemara pitch, Pháirc an Cháthanaigh , was used for a UEFA cup match around 1986 and it was a success. It was even the subject of a TG4 documentary a while back called UEFA sa Ghaeltacht. Y'see when people aren't arseholes like you they can get along.

(PS is it not time for yuour latest alter ego to be banned?)

Blah Blah Blah.

Find me one example of it happening.

The Council pitch in the Waterside in Derry in December 1980.

Not true. The GAA Central Council refused permission and Sean Kilfeather in the Irish Times nearly had a fit about the refusal.

Sounds like a municpal pitch to me....

"Sought use of" is key.

You must be a severe headcase if asking can Omagh Town use a GAA stadium for a fundraiser for the bomb victims in 98 be equated to ploughing up a football pitch in order to stop footballers using it.

We ask. You steal.

The local GAA club had already arranged it, and they refused to be bullied by Croke Park as it was a democratic decision taken at club level.

But thats not really relevent.

It is and your Prod friends, those fellow Irishmen of the Protestant tradition, "as you Staters describe them" would not allow the Gaelic football match to proceed. Do you approve of these soccer supporters preventing a council pitch being uses for a gaelic football match?

There was a similiar incident in Maghera, Co Derry in the autumn of 1969.
