Great Irish Sporting Myths

[naka]

Tbf every club is the same, so short sighted.
My young fellow quit at 15 fed up  wasting his time and he wasn't a bad footballer.
Reality is same 16/17 played week in week out for 6 years
Club came to him last week as they are now struggling for numbers in his age group
I let him decide.
He told them where to go.

Go games (in theory) are for young lads to gain confidence and experience in a (real) game setting. They are also there to learn about team play and positional play. Lads watching games from the subs bench or pigeon holed into cameo corner forward roles won't learn this. I usually try to play a weaker player in a position that is in the thick of things. Don't hide them. They will get to touch the ball more and learn to deal with situations.  Situations you can't learn on your own in the back garden.

Kerry let armagh win the AI. Oh wait..

Soccer could never be played in GAA pitches
Rugby was a foreign sport
Kerry would always give the Dubs a game
Money means nothing in the GAA
Ignoring the Leinster championship doesn't mean anything.
The All Ireland is open to everyone
Mayo were never good enough
Hats flags and headbands
Anyone for the last of the choc ices

That's bitter sweet.  An awful lot could be learned from that tale.

Tyrone players had phone numbers written on their arms.

Angelic Declan O'Sullivan's punching photograph was photoshopped.

It could, but is there a range of people stepping forward to manage the Go games?

Loads would do it. I have done it. But some of the shit that goes on would make you throw up.

I got a shit load of abuse refereeing a game at our under 8 blitz last year. Apparently I didn't blow up a player for taking 2 touches in a move that led to a score. I made the losing team go home very unhappy according to the coach. I apologised saying its just a bit of fun sure,  a run out for them. Not according to coach. His team had a good chance of winning the shield says he. Anyway.
