Thats awful.
The last Prod I heard of playing was Peter Whitnell, and that ended badly aswell.
This gives unlimited ammunition to Unionist GAA-phobes.
I don't want to point score about this. It's a sad, sad story which indicates how far all of Northern Irish society has yet to travel. But I do hope that the many GAA members and fans who in the past have been so quick to ascribe outdated or frankly fictional sectarian practices to the Northern Irish soccer support will look to their own house now and comprehend that this is not something the GAA are somehow uniquely immune to.

Yet rugby players can play together and get on fine. I remember 3years ago I travelled to Portadown RFC and we were given a fantastic time. Maybe some people see GAA games as Catholic sports and do not want change, mores the pity. It wont be long before you have a young Nigerian or Pole playing intercounty football, will they be open to intimidation and abuse, like Jason Sherlock and Sean Og O'halpin were.

Isn't there already at least one non-white GAA player in Dublin? I'm sure I saw a clip on RTÉ showing a chinese guy.

When were Jason Sherlock and Seán óg Ó hAilpin racially abused?
Liquidate labour, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.
Didn't Whitnell leave to play professional soccer with an IFA team?
