Does Ulster always say "no"?

To be fair, of all the Kerry posters on here, Mike's the only real fool.

100%. Could not argue with that statement

In fairness it wasn't the AFL who had the cheek to try using the park in Cavan - it was a guy on a solo run.  Also it is just possible that the growth in opposition to IR in Ulster is not unconnected to the belief among a lot of senior GAA people in Ulster that the first IR game this year was promised to Casement Park by Nicky Brennan who then either renaged on the deal or at the least was unable to deliver on his promise.

I think this all about opening up the grounds to foreign sports esp Rugby. Brheny has been the cheif  cheerleader for the egg chasers to play at croke park since day one , whether thats just a personal crusade or a product of being tony reillys lapdog i dont know. but he has been unrelenting in his promotion of the idea . depite the GAA getting fucked in the arse over landsdown road and tallaght

Right on cue!

Glad to be of service.

In fairness to Breheny, he has stressed in the past that he has been backing the idea of letting rugby & soccer into Croke Park since the 1980s when he worked for the Sunday Press, in direct competition to O'Reilly's newspapers.

Martin Breheny has had a right pop at the Ulster Council this week for a motion calling for the end of the international rules series - but does he have a point? Are Ulster holding up progress or fighting to maintain the security and ethos of the GAA?

HERE'S a question to add to the growing list of quandaries currently unanswered in this country: why is it that, at a time when Ulster is enjoying a boom on the playing fields, the province has become so negative elsewhere?

Let the Ireland-Australia International Rules series continue? No, no, no, chant Ulster?

Sign up to a Government deal to give grants to players? Absolutely not, say an Ulster contingent, anchored by a non-elected and grandiosely-titled group, 'Of One Belief'.

Rent Croke Park for rugby and soccer? Not if we have our way, argued large tracts of Ulster, supported by, among others, Cork. My, my, how Cork would love if their only concerns nowadays were how best to lecture others on their disloyalty to an outdated viewpoint.

Cork's lecturing days are over, but it seems Ulster are merely powering up. They want the International Rules series scrapped and will support a Tyrone motion to that effect at Congress. Bizarrely, they want Australian Rules to be treated as a competitor sport, whatever that means.

Last Saturday's Ulster Convention voted 36-5 in support of scrapping International Rules, yet when the question arose of whether the link should continue at Central Council last year, Tyrone were the only Ulster county to vote against it.

What happened in the meantime? Was the dramatic change of heart due to the GAA not awarding the first game of this year's series to Casement Park?

Agree with Ulster on all of the above...

In fairness, Mike Sheehy is not that big of a fool. He correctly assumed that he was the poster in question, Mike from Kerry.
