GAA Sectarianism in Fermanagh

fully paid members to me, i dont know exactly what that is, but in my view anybody who buys the club lotto numbers or club tickets or whatever is in someway paying as a member of the GAA. Now I havent gone counting how many people have done this, but im pretty sure its a lot of people up and down the country.

Someone in work is married to a girl from the bog and they are leaving Dublin and building locally wheres shes from. Turns out to support planning app they were advised to get letter from local muck savage club to help PROVE that shes a local. :eek:

Id betcha she was stung for some sort of contribution along the way. Its this kinda local nod and a wink bull**** crap that has this country in the mess and backward state it is in. Shower of <unt$, disband the GAA! :mad:

At least you're able to make your point without resorting to insults, assumptions, or stereotypes.


People from the countryside are from "the bog".:rolleyes:

The GAA club is a "muck savage" club.:rolleyes:

The are all a "Shower of <unt$", and are indeed responsible for the country's problems.:rolleyes:

I neither watch nor care about GAA, but the only one who ends up looking ignorant from this post is you.

Well said.

If the GAA has some bigoted members please don't suggest they represent the rest of the country. :rolleyes:

The GAA often tell us how great they are with their 32 county organisation & how terrible we are that we have a 26 county & 6 county football bodies. FFS its easy to have a 32 county organisation with no members from the other community.

The FAI & IFA may be separate bodies but where was the sectarianism during the recent Setanta Cup competitions?

Good point. Twenty years ago Linfield supporters were theatenining to withdraw their support after the club signed two North African players ( I think they also may have been catholic). Now I doubt it would raise an eyebrow. The GAA need to start working on this aspect up north. In our now multicultural society it's a regular occurrence on the playing fields of Ireland to have all creeds and colours engaging in sport together. What's the difference between a young boy from the Cameroon and a young irish protestant from Ulster playing Gaelic games.

its a case of them wanting to play the sport.

The difference? One exists, whilst the other is a figment of the GAA's PR Department...:(
