Some people think GAA begins and ends with county football and Sam Maguire Cup...
MOST people do.

well it doesn't. Club championship is much better

+1

Following the county is great, but it doesn't compare to the camaraderie built up with the dark winter training and the trips to Armagh or Enniskillen on a freezing November afternoon.
Following the club is great but they don't have a super team that can win honours every season.

It depends where you live!

If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I detest the term "Gael".

Why so?
It's a term with very creepy, almost Nazi-like undertones of imagined racial "purity".

And it tends to be used by humourless, joyless c***ts who despise not just anything British, but anything which doesn't conform to their idea of a racially "pure", "Gaelic" Ireland.

I always felt uncomfortable with the term myself but you've summed up well why. There's an air of arrogance and assholery to most people that use it.
