Any protestants play GAA in the north?

Ogungbe from Nobber!!! Jeez isn't Nobber a fierce strange name!!!!

Looking forward to the gene pool of the GAA being enriched with all races and creeds, can only be a good thing!! Think about it, a russian gymnast in goal, a couple of maoris in the spine of the the team, 2 tall poles in midfield, an Ethiopian in the Dooher role, and a Kerry forward line!!!! Oops, we'll just have to find a way to get the Kery folk to scatter the seed around a bit more!!

what a racist post MODS MODS

I can't find anything remotely racist about it. Its a fact of life that certain nationalities are well known for their abilities in various areas of sport.

+1. Cornafean, are you from Cornafean?

No intention of being racist, I meant it when I said that it will be great to have the GAA gene pool enriched!! My aoplogies if I offended anyone from Nobber!!!!

Ta for that FOSB, I'm new to this site and didn't want to get off to a bad start by offending people. I was taken aback when ros was screaming for 'MODS MODS' when he read the post. I'm glad that most readers of the post were able to detect the use of irony. Here's some more...., I also apologise to anyone from Ethiopia who might have been offended by being compared with Brian Dooher!

I assumed rosnarun was joking when he said it was a racist post. Surely?

From there originally, yes. Up the Reds!

Let it never be said, seanie, that we don't agree at times.
Ros was only testing to see if anyone here was still awake.
Really, anyone who took his post seriously should wind down a bit.
He can be as unpredictable as a baby's bum but I can never recall a time when he was gratuitously insulting or dismissive of anybody or anything.

Edward Carson (UUP leader) played hurling when he was at Trinity

Any protestants play GAA in the north?...we get Top of the Pops up here as well now, but unfortunately Slade are still No 1

[slow corner back]

We had a team manager a few years back who was a protestant, he was on our committee for years. We had a few over the years train over the summer and hurl with our junior teams. Mainly connected to the local rugby team which we would have close ties with.

I had the misfortune of going to mass this morning. I`d much rather be in Ballybofey, but thems the breaks. They prayed for the victims of clerical abuse, while allowing the perpetrators of that abuse to remain within the church.
