Today is a celebration of our GAA. We’re proud to reveal our new GAA Manifesto – an affirmation of our GAA mission, vision & values. The intention is for this to be proudly displayed anywhere Gaelic games are played at home or abroad. Stay tuned for more this morning! #GAABelong pic.twitter.com/cf8ivhGomP

I briefly associated with my local GAA club when I was younger but when I saw how they all gathered around to protect an open racist, decided it wasn’t for me.
Too many cops, politicians and priests for my liking also.
How long ago was that?
20 years ago, Jason Sherlock being spat at.
Ordinary members stuck by Delaney and I heard quite a bit of racist commentary.
Decided it wasn’t my sort of place.
‘This place belongs to us all’ unless you’re a woman because the GAA’s property, facilities, clubs are entirely owned by the men’s clubs.
The GAA likes to call female players ‘ladies’.
Like ‘Ladies Gaelic Football’. As opposed to ‘Women’s Rugby’
‘Ladies’.
Actually thats the LGFA that call’s themselves Ladies. It’s not a GAA organisation.
The GAA and the LGFA and the Camogie Association are so closely linked they are culturally, ideologically and genetically Identical
But technically you are correct. The best kind of correct some say.
Boo boos
I really dislike that GAA advert with the food covered in clingfilm.
I actually do like it..
I used to play GAA sports when I was a young lad but wouldn’t have anything to do with it now. I can’t relate to it or the people involved anymore.
Hurling is an amazing sport alright.
Used to play many moons ago in school and was going to take it up again but the people were not to my taste.
…but the people were not to my taste.
Forgive me for asking but were ‘the people’ over 40, hairy, sweaty and drunk?
Proud of their beer-belly and looking for a lift home?
– And don’t get me started on the men. They’re actually worse.
Ah here,,,
I love the wording.
The ‘you are one of us so you are one of us’ assertion.
I have news for you GAA.
Some people don’t want to be in your gang, but we appreciate your existence.
You keep the knuckle-dragging pint drinkers out of normal pubs.
Carry on.
Happy t’ help
An’ting else we can help ye out with
Rent the posh lads a Stadium?
Let their bid examiners have a snoop around?
Help?
Are you serious?
Schrödinger’s cat could walk across my keyboard and make more sense.
…and when I say ‘walk across’ I obviously mean thrown against.
Fair enough.
Now enforce it.
