Clowns, but sure you should look up on the reasoning for no more pitch invasions. Clowns running the show.

Small bit over the top, but let you be damn sure that if the GAA didn't move against this idea of people filling cups with drink, the indo would be the very crowd castigating the GAA for promoting an alcohol fueled culture.

The Indo are a bunch of f**kers. Let them at it.

[Celt_Man]

Load of nonsense to be honest....  A motion just for the sake of it...  I can state down iif my club ever win a cup of any description the holes will be fecking filled in in double quick time!!  Screw the 12 week ban!!

[AZOffaly]

Yeah, it's a stupid motion. But what annoys me is with the indo, they take any oppportunity to sneer at the GAA and take up a contarian position no matter what.

No matter what direction the GAA take, it's a fair bet that at least one columnist in the indo will be ridiculing them. If it's not Breheny (that dog in the manger) it's Keyes, or Hogan.

A joke riddled with hypocracy. They fill Croke Park with bars and allow alcohol companies to sponsor major competitions and jerseys. It is alcohol awareness that is needed not this crap. 

[muppet]

Sure enough, Shannon Gaels got their way and it was agreed to alter cups to prevent the demon drink being tossed into them.

This could get interesting. Does it apply to camogie?

[BennyHarp]

I dont know many alcoholics who started into the downward spiral of drink through taking a few sips of alcohol from a cup their team won in a county final! (Or any final for that matter!)

[pintsofguinness]

Stupid

[thebigapple]

Typical "filler" from Breheny. I guess it makes a change from his repetitive articles on gate receipts and Croke Park zzz....

[midLouth]

Completely daft, so what if ppl have a drink. We live in a culture where people have a choice to have a drink or not.

And to desecrate how many trophies by drilling holes in them, complete and utter joke.

[cabra_harps]

He must have f*** all to write about. Seriously. If they're gonna do that, its the loonies running the asylum. Agree with mid-Louth - wrecking trophies because of the pioneer brigade is complete madness!

When are sufficient GAA people going too wise up and stop buying that rag of a so called newspaper, hit them back where it hurts, in their pocket

I have. Used to buy it and the Sunday Indo when I could. Now I buy the Examiner if anything, and the Times or Tribune on Sunday. Join me.

The Times & Tribune are the only papers to buy on a Sunday for the GAA IMO, both streets ahead of anything else out there. Working on the aul lad to get him to switch, not easy teaching old dogs new tricks...
