I would respond with a nice comeback but we wouldnt want you getting upset LL, you are so sensitive and all...... pathetic really 

Good lord man don't be so sensitive,I'm assuming your from Dublin?
You should learn to be able laugh at yourself sometimes..
For what its worth I thought that was hilarious,I can only imagine what a Waterford version would sound like 

happy birthday you are a day older than me! and about four years!

In fact it has probably helped the Gaa attract more youglads with the revenue the have earned from opening up the stadium allowing them to invest more in the clubs.

Oh right. And the FAI and IRFU just put their extra money in the bank and didn't use it to do the same. Thanks for ironing out my flawed logic.

I thought we weren't getting into this 
And eh no not really....If they all do it sure it will just cancel each other out..
I really think you need to start looking at the facts.Croke Park has been opened to other sports for almost two years now, as far as i can see in my county and village in Waterford I have seen no adverse affects on the Gaa because of soccer and rugby being in Croke Park..
I think its time to move on magpie and get over this chip you have
Also I'm surprised by a man who so often posts on a Manchester United Thread and rugby threads among others to be so against soccer and rugby being played in Croke Park...I find that strange to be honest but I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation.
Anyways I don't post here often I prefer to read the threads because it seems anyone with a differing opinion to someone else is either a idiot or is talking bullshit there doesn't seem to be any place for agreeing to dis agree or normal debate/chat that you have with your mates in the pub,i have no desire in getting dragged down to a slagging match so I will just leave you to your own opinions

[for the idiots of the open up brigade]

I was there in 1996, and was the other game in Lansdowne Road, between Pitt and Rutgers? I also seem to remember watching a game from Croker when I was in Arizona. I think it was the Bears against the Steelers or something in pre-season. Would have been 97 or 98 I'd say.

I was at the game in Lansdowne (East Stand) and was in bed for a week with the 'flu after it. The smog around that time in Dublin was cat. Was that game not a good bit before 1996?

Ah yes, American football in Croke Park. The favourite straw to grasp for the idiots of the open up brigade.

Rather than call everyone who has a different view than you idiots,which in my opinion is not only childish but comes across as being very bitter,can you explain why you have no problem with a bunch of Americans playing a foreign sport in Croke Park but do have a problem with your own country men playing foreign sports in Croke Park.
I am of course assuming you have no problem with American Football as you were at the game

I mean the idiot subsection of the open up brigade in case it wasn't clear.

I'm not getting into the argument again but I will say I'd view and American football game as similar to a concert - not as a competing sport.

Don't want to get into anything either as I have no love for soccer or rugby though I did think it was the right thing to let them into Croke Park,but your above argument is flawed and a bit hypocritical if you ask me but your entitled to your opinion the same as everyone else
I could never see how letting soccer or rugby into Croke Park was going to take away from youngsters playing Gaa,the Gaa world as far as I know hasn't collapsed since it opened up to rugby or soccer I don't see any change in terms of numbers playing or going to matches,so it looks to me that all the people in the NO camp were wrong in their concerns.
If a younglad wants to play Gaa he will play it ,If he wants to play soccer or rugby he will,Having these games in Croke Park won't or haven't made a slightest bit of difference imho,In fact it has probably helped the Gaa attract more youglads with the revenue the have earned from opening up the stadium allowing them to invest more in the clubs.
That is all....

Maybe it's be mentioned before but as I'm on  my mobile it takes to long to read all the posts, but maybe sir alex meant they would be someone else's problem as he will be selling them players on ?

Very funny 

btw I don't think he put all that much effort into it,all you have to do is type in someones name!
Chill Pill needed for some posters me thinks

There must be some egos need massaging when we are starting threads like this.....

From what i read you have the biggest ego you tool

I was reading between the lines.I believe his comment "so you picked a successfull team off the telly,Well done" is a dig at people who follow a team from another country unlike supporting your home town GAA club or your county.Im sure he'll deny this but that's what i took from his post

dont know anything about tayto but did he mention a problem with supporting a non gaa sport? no. did he mention anything about another country? no. bit of an overaction i think.. ps im a mad gaa fan and also love liverpool

Im well aware he didn't mention it thats why i said reading between the lines

Legend

Marc Overmars was some player alright Mid Mon

One little gripe i have from yesterdays game,Why did the Kilkenny/Waterford teams come onto the pitch while the Laois captain was giving his speech?
It was like now the minnows are finished let the big guns get all the attention,surely they should have respected the fact that Laois had won and give them their moment?You could not hear the Laois captain over the sound of the fans shouting for their respective teams

I was at match and i thought it was bad of them too

Laoislad, why is Zane Keenan not on the Laois panel?

Also, whats the story with James Young being listed as a Tinnahinch player? When did he move club? What were the circumstances of his move? Hes a fair player for any club to get. I'm surprised there wasn't more said about that.

Hard to judge Laois on that game. Wicklow were awful. Laois look to be in rebuilding mode, which is no harm. A couple of the forwards looked nippy, but their hurling was a little sloppy at times. On a drier day they might be decent enough.

What other club do you reckon Young played for?
