It was me you claimed was the 'Rovers fan abusing disabled children'?  No wonder you got lagged for being a random nutter. You really need a hug or something. Get over yourself, you went onto a closed forum for members of a club and stirred it up to play the victim when the inevitible happens. What did you prove? You can get barred. Someone give the monkey a banana.
Maybe you should have stated you were a Rovers fan. On a Rovers forum. Imagine.  Whatever next.
This forum is a generic forum for all GAA supporters. Some here are county players, some are club chairmen, some have never been to a game in their lives. You dont have the right to declare who is or isnt a 'fan' you arrogent tosser.

Now now, keep the bricks in your pocket, you're not in the pseudo hard man ultra forum now.

Some time ago you wrote this

I am a member of a club in the area and am furious that TD are willfully and publically setting out to kill another sporting organisation.

I take it that the club you say you are a member of is anything other than a GAA club. You have only one agenda with the GAA.

Midfield is desperatly weak. Who's going to put in a decent tackle? Who can tackle? Who can play as a defensive midfielder.
That midfield selection takes away from the whole purpose of blooding in the other new boys. Joe Gamble could do it but there is an EL programme.

Ireland does a lot of work for man city and has showen he can do it at international level. i think he is our next keano

Stephen Ireland is not a defensive midfield player, nor could you describe him as a box to box player like Keane.
I see Joe Gamble has been called up

Any particular reason why the thread subject title is called the official Glasgow Celtic thread?
Where else could Celtic FC be located?

 

As mentioned, it's hard to argue with a zillion% salary increase and EPL management. I thought he had a bizzare reaction after the victory against Spain, missing out on the pleasure of rubbing it in with 40 grit. I guess that most NI fans were hoping against hope after that.

The final  "permanent" ceasefire decision by the IRA was the single biggest contribution to the process. Very little could have happened without that.

Not on the list but whenever I heard David Irvine speak I was optimistic about the process. I don't know if many listened to him but I'm glad he was around.

Seems to me that botching is twofold, the first in the years that the site was left untouched. Rover's club had been botching things for decades. The basis for a well run sports club is one that's owned and run by the membership. Do you think that the zillion GAA club facilities have just materialized after rubbing some State genie bottle?  You really haven't got any appreciatian how it's done, have you?
Seems to me that Rovers fans have been blaming everybody and everything else over the years, except their inate inability to form a functioning effective board from the membership to run the club, purchase and build facilities.

Secondly,  there is a population of 100,000 around Tallaght.  City planners have shit for brains when it comes to infrastructure, schools, hospitals and sports. Instead of the issue being - where is the space for us to build our sports facilities? - it becomes divide and rule, fighting over scraps.

They express their support elsewhere - and it's almost universal.

A delusional Freudian slip maybe?
How about, widespread support within the nest of EL supporters.

SammyG states his points..... a LOT. I certainly don't agree with most of them, but I like to think that I can at least try to see his point of view. Never once did I think it was bigoted...... just ill-informed

Okay, ill and informed.
If you need us to prepare your obituary Sammy, let us know, otherwise take it easy and get back to health in good time.

hh - id agree that the ideals of the uvf may be very different from what they claim - they are simply drug dealing gangsters in my mind - but the problem is they claim to have an ideal, defending their communities against their enemies.

Obviously if this was their only concern they wouldnt be peddling drugs and extorting their own communities.

What has changed now?
Were they given an ultimatum to change just one thing, they decided to give up on the redundant defending idea but continue to peddle drugs?

[No work was carried out during that twelve month period]

From the The high court Judicial Review
"Construction works ceased on the site in November 2001 and there has been no work done since. The building contractor is still in possession of the site. In July 2003 Shamrock Rovers applied for and was granted an extension of the planning permission for a period of one year to 31st October 2004, to enable them to complete the stadium. No work was carried out during that twelve month period. In October 2004 Shamrock Rovers applied for a further extension for a period of one and a half years to complete the stadium. On 14th December 2002, the respondents as planning authority refused that application."

What a lazy shower of club members. They wouldn't even know how to lay a brick.

Well, I'm scratching my head right now to come up with any interpretation other than that Ulaidh considers that the Provos were in some way mitigated or absolved in their actions since they were acting for a cause.

The scratching isn't exactly taxing the limits of rational thought to come with an alternative to that stereotypical emission. 'Mitigated or absolved' are words from your dictionary.
It's the absolute certainty of your 'flight of fancy' interpretation, it betrays the one dimensional viewpoint that make up your ability to utter such crap.   

Gandhi was opposed to Imperialism and was successful in defeating it, despite* his eschewing the use of violence. I admire Gandhi.

Ah yes the movie, don't confuse Gandhi's ideas with the ending of the Raj. At the time, Atlee acknowledged that the main reason for the fall of the Raj were the ideals of the militant Subhash Chandra Bose and the very violent Indian National Army.
Imo the closest equivalent of a Gandhi in the Irish national movement would have been John Redmond.

Whatever about the rights and wrongs of the IRA's campaign, they were struggling for an ideal.

So the ends justify the means, then, eh,   

You must have stretched every one of your brain cells to make that inference from Ulaidh's post.
Do you have an itch that never ceases to need scratching?

What about the TDs and councillors all over the country who are members of GAA clubs? Should they all resign membership just in case a "conflict of interest" arises regarding funding or planning???
No - didn't think so. You need them, don't you?

They need the GAA more than the GAA need them
Haven't you read between the lines in the Constitution of the State re the special position of the GAA?
We are like the Army in Turkey only more subtle.
Dail Eireann and local politicians had better behave themselves.
