Sectarian abuse from the free staters

[Rossfan]

Nordies invented sledging as a way to rile opponents by spouting all sorts of sh1te at them.
Now it's coming back to bite them what goes round comes round etc.
Mind you the Scallion aters don't seem to be too bright as a Down Hurley team would be mainly  Irish Catholics.

Carlow hurlers have form on this.  A nasty bunch.

It would be about the only thing carlow hurlers have form in

The shape of this post. 😂

Not necessarily, the hurling strongholds of Down have quite a few mixed marriages as can be gathered from the list of player names.
I'm not sure how the Carlow neanderthals managed to figure this out though.

Ah but houl on...

EG said this wasn't the case.

And let's face it, if there's anyone here who would have an intimate knowledge of the religious affiliations of the Down Senior Hurling squad, it would be him.

This is a non-story with the loyalist newspapers in the north trying to give it legs.

It's hardly a non story, it's a ridiculous thing to try and slag someone playing GAA about and it's far from an isolated thing.

I don't know which is worse from Carlow people, recreating a scene from Weekend at Bernie's or calling Catholics brits and prods!?

Probably the worst thing is that an intercounty team from the next county to Kilkenny were happy to be beaten by a crowd of loyalists.

That's just a sign of ignorance.

And if there was an actual Protestant or someone from a unionist background stripped out for Down yesterday, what's the course of action then? "Ah don't worry, it's only a bit of sledging"

In the absence of any Prods about the place, I think the Carlow lads are to be congratulated for their ingenuity and imagination.

Just a shame that the Down boys can't show the same qualities in actually getting a few more Prods into their own team.

Or even one.

(I'll leave that thought with you  )

Shall I correct you on that one?

this is laughable, sledging to gain an advantage has been going on in every sport for decades and nordies crying about it shows how fragile they really are

pathetic

Always enjoyable watching a smug tw@t making a fool of himself.

With his little emojis and everything.
