GAA Discussion / Re: Quitting GAA at the age of 18
October 21, 2010, 08:47:26 PM
I dont think Alcohol is the main reason (although it is a problem in Irish Society).  I think that it is a decline in aspirations amongst 14-18 year olds who have been hit with the realisation factor that they will not emulate their GAA idols (simply because it has dawned on them that they are not good enough, we all remember the one or two superb youngsters who quit when they were 17/18, thats because they were few and far between, but we certainly do not remember the average youngsters, because there were so many). 

So, what do they do?  They give up on that particular area of their life and pursue other avenues to fulfil their needs and wants in the pursuit of happiness.  I presume this is not exclusive to The GAA?!

The word is that Frank Dawson has approached the Bridge with a view to taking over next year!
Patrick Mackin has shown a keen interest in the Bridge Job!  Think he would do a good job!  any thoughts?

People in Armagh pay their TV license? Changed times.

I cant really see people in South Armagh in paying 'their' tv license fee!  Sure none of them watch the BBC!?

I think that the Ulster Championship is an open door one this year and with that in mind I would see Burren as a strong contender to make the final stages.  Also, with a great pedigree in ulster club football (its a bit like Down with the All-Ireland) I believe they will make the final but just fail to win it by a few points!
