"It's time for the GAA to drop the national anthem"

[BennyCake]

Oh sweet Jesus. Just seen Fergie sign the American anthem. And I thought the Irish anthem was butchered every Sunday!

Ya know, if the GAA want rid of the anthem, get her to sing it, and that'll be that.

What harm is the national anthem doing ? 

[Rossfan]

What harm is the national anthem doing ?

Our game v Cavan hadn't the anthem before it.
Was the game null and void then?

Never an anthem before the 'minor' match 

[Rossfan]

So are those games all illegal?

[westbound]

Rossfan what are you talking about?
Am I missing something?

illegal?
Null and void?

[larryin89]

I dunno but I find a section of Irish society really odd. Why would you want the anthem abolished before games, what actual reasons could you have?  Secretly west brits ?

If they ever abolish it I will sing it as a point of principal till the day I cant go no more , if im alone , so be it . TAL , ye absolute traitors.

Is it in the Treoir that the Anthem must be played before a game?
If it is and a game goes ahead without the Anthem then the Rule is breached???

The only mention in an Treoir Oifigiúil is rule 1.8 which basically says when the anthem is played it is to be respected by players standing to attention and hurlers removing helmets. The long established protocol/tradition has always been that it is played before the main event on a bill of games if there is more than one.
