      That a very low brow remark, even for you. So is it wrong I laughed?

      A friendly British army wanting to play an Irish national sport? Kinda was for that, actually.

   I think the word is infiltrate.

   Enough with the ‘Was it for this?’ nonsense. Imagine if a British website was doing something similar regarding Ireland? There’d be uproar.

      It would be some laugh alright !

      ‘”Was it for this” we gave them their freedom?!’

   The Cambridges just love prancing around with the shamrock. No, it wasn’t for this.

   Prince William is the Colonel of the Regiment, an honorary position. He certainly doesn’t “command” it.

   Has the ‘London GAA’ team beaten any of the county teams from the mainland? …or the NY lads, have they beaten any mainland teams?

   If I say ‘mainland’ again while referring to Ireland, will I win a prize?

      London beat Sligo a few years back.
8. JohnC July 16, 2015 at 3:29 pm

   and they got to the final of Connacht a few years ago so they must have beaten a couple of teams

   Thanks to repeated failures of economic policies of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, we have a thriving oversees GAA diaspora.

    My Irish is well rusty, but shouldn’t it be “Garda Éireann” using the “thiss-all ginn-a-deacht” rule similar to the Guards? As in, if it’s “of” then the object reverts to the sigular of the noun? Anyone?
    1. TheFerg July 16, 2015 at 7:20 pm

       …but obviously welcome

    Can’t wait be see what gear they tog out in. Black with tan trim?
    1. Bingo July 16, 2015 at 10:01 pm

       But seriously, they should be made feel more than welcome. Aren’t all the irish lads made welcome over in London?
