home, you have described it down to a tee.
Crack up at times but its like an infectious drug.

Just dont know how many years anyone can stick it.
Played a friendly tonight - 5 goals up and still have a primadonna who storms off because someone shouted back at him.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The great thing about rugby and football is that they are inclusive sports and open to all, as opposed to GAA which is a divisive non-inclusive organisation" _ examples please.

Sorry Megan you are wrong.
My wee team in Down had 3 protestants playing in it when I played.
There have been numerous famous players who are protestant and they've even had a President of the GAA who was a protestant, Jack Boothman.
Now get in the box and stay there until we talk about something you know....

Earl, that same lad will turn up next game like nothing happened?
I played when 2 lads in our team got sent off for fighting with each other..
I 've also managed when a guy asked to be taken off because no one was passing to him.
Last few years I play in an over the hill league(good standard but real slow) and the referees over here tolerate no cursing or shouting even at your own player. Yellow card for saying ":ah for ****s sake"...after 10 yellows you start getting deducted points...
Couldn't imagine that working in Ireland or Britain?

Points deduction - Thats a really good idea.

Our own team actually had the best disclipinary record in all 4 divisions last season as we really clamped down on them. They pay any fines that are implemented by the League and are fined by the club on top of that.
An extra 2 points for good behaviour would have won us the league


There is less fighting now than in my day, discipline is better, but the players are more moodier and primadonna-esque which i suppose comes from watching todays superstars

Megans- TallMuscular etc.. this isn't the BBC 606 site remember. You wouldn't be getting your fellow band of anti-Iirsh clowns backing you up anymore with your ill informed comments!!!
Why do you even bother anymore

I'm making a fair point, if any Irish League club named their team after a loyalist terrorist the ROI fans on here would be up in arms.......................

There are guys on here up in arms at GSTQ being sung at Windsor and we have a GAA club named after a convicted terrorist lol.....................

No ones up in arms over GSTQ being sung at Windsor Park. The general consensus is as long as it is as used at the National Anthem for the NIreland Football team Nationalists will continue to not support the NIreland side !!!
Maybe GSTQ is as offensive to Nationalists as people like Kevin Lynch is to you. So going by your logic the IFA could also be accused of being biggoted as well

Megan. The GAA is not sectarian organization and taking little sidebars to prove it is is childish.
Using that logic I can prove Andy Goram was in the LVF or Alex Higgins in the UDA.
You don't like the GAA because its steeped in Irish tradtions and attracts crowds the IFA can only dream about.

Megan, the GAA is the governing body of all traditional sports Football, Hurling, Camogie and Handball.
Some games are boring but compared to the average IL game they are light years ahead.
You ranted and raved about a subject you clearly know nothing about.
If your half as big as your say you are you should give Gaelic Football a chance? Right up your alley shoulder charging and harrasing people.

I watch Gealic Football and hurling the odd time as I'm a sports lover............

The football usually gets switched of after about 10 mins as its like kids in the playground.............

The hurling lasts a bit longer................
