Sporting Fingal to be offered First Division place

[Billy Lord]

Jinxy: what's your problem? Fingal are offering employment opportunities that the GAA can't match as they are an amateur body - unless the taxpayer throws a few bob their players' way.
Besides, organised football was a part of Irish sporting culture before the GAA was invented so the reality is that football is more 'Irish' than all GAA games.
Get used to it: football is the Irish sport, it's what the kids want to play, especially as we become a more multicultural society.
Besides, how many counties play hurling with any seriousness? And what about handball? If the GAA are serious about promoting gaelic games why are they letting their best two activities die a slow death? Hurling and handball are great games that are uniquely Irish yet they're allowed to wallow while gaelic football - which is a poor mix of rugby and football and has more to do with handbags outside the chipper on a Saturday night - gets promoted to the hilt.

What a frighteningly terrible and irrelevant post!

The issue is that a local council is embarking on a fantastical self-serving crusade. By all means build masses of facilities to encourage sport in the community, but why the need to start a senior club before all that is done, a stadium built, or public demand for it?

You'd think they'd know to put the horse before the cart out Fingal way.

It seems to me that the FAI could be playing a very intelligent game. If they have engaged with the local councils with the view to providing modern sports facilities for the public while promoting Eircom league clubs as anchor tenants using these facilities then I do not see very much wrong with it. The facilities at the Regional Sports Centre in Waterford will improve dramatically this year while the facilities being proposed in Tallaght, Fingal and Limerick all sound promising and have all been earmarked for use by Eircom league cubs.

Easy tiger! It's a legitimate question. If there's a legitimate answer by all means fill me in. No need to go off on a tangent about the GAA. Close your eyes and imagine another poster asked the question if it makes it easier for you. Would your response still start with the words "Whats your problem?"

Hey Reiteior, (or is that Retard) I don't know what your point is but I'll NEVER click on a SF link!

This whole shortening the new club's name to "SF" conjures up all sorts of bizarre visions.

[oldyouth]

Reiteoir, why did you put up the Shin Fain link??

[Dunny]

Because Sporting Fingal were reffered to as SF they have signed Steve Williams and a link to where it says they have signed him was asked for, Réiteoir was merely having a laugh...Maybe you should try reading the thread before replying??

Why call someone "retard"?

That's more offensive to me personally

[oldyouth]

Anyone you quotes the shinners is a retard IN MY OPINION (and we are all entitled to our wn)

Your missing the point! It was meant as a joke! SF= Sporting Fingal, SF= Seinn Fein, IF you cant see the joke there then you are seriously too uptight. And calling him a retard over it was completley OTT.

Its not as if he was giving the link saying "support Sinn Fein" like..

It was a joke.

There's only one person making themselves look stupid here and it's not Réiteoir.

[oldyouth]

Look at the post, was anything added other than the link to that 'organisation'.

Sorry if I don't see if there is an underlying joke but I hate those scum more than Man U. If I'm being over sensitive, I apologise.
C'mon Sporting Fingal and welcome to the league

I don't see whrere he quoted any Sinn Feiners anywhere?

Are you drunk?

Perhaps you are annoyed that he didnt post any link to your local branch :
http://www.sinnfeinwexford.com/ Perhaps you are a member?

[Réiteoir]

Can we have a bigger wink emoticon please?

One that's 6 foot tall should do the job.
