Queen Elizabeth to visit Croke Park

[gerry]

When she goes on to the pitch Henry Shefflin should run out and wrap a hurl around her head before going over to the camera shouting "Revenge for Martin Johnson yis English b**tards".

Maybe Sambo would be a better option to Shefflin as he has done this type of thing before.

she might get a two match ban

Who is bending over backward? And how?

Interesting thread. A full spectrum of views on show.
My personal two-pence worth is that she has already visited Ireland on many occasions so whoopy doo about a Dublin visit. The sensitivities regarding a Croke Park visit is a seperate matter but surely it can only improve relations with Unionists north of the border... and if a United Ireland is ever achieved it will be by convincing our Unionist neighbours that their identities are best served by a United Ireland, the green, the white and the orange, united. If the Queen visiting Croker can enhance this in a tiny way then it's a good thing. I hope Lizzy gets a good solid education whilst she is there too.

Shouldn't the GAA follow the mood of the majority of the players, supporters and patrons of the organisation.

By the way I was opposed to the GAA opening Croke Park to Soccer and Rugby, not for political reasons, but because I didn't want to give up an infrastructural advantage to competing sports organisations. I seemed to get abuse from pro-opening Croke Park crowd because they kept insisting it was because I was bitter or against the Brits, when it was I didn't want to give up the GAA's competitive advantage. I was against the majority it seems and have accepted this. In fact I think I don't mind soccer and rugby in Croke Park so much, but glad they gone back across the river. I am still no to other grounds being opened, but purely because I see rugby and soccer as competitors and no other reason.

Some people aren't really getting this. Why do you think she might be going to Croke Park? Do you think it's her love of sports stadia?

Also, you never answered the question as to how the GAA are 'bending over backwards'.

Of course. Let's have a GAA referendum.

Would have to be limited to paid up members (which I am), patrons and other supporters would find it harder to prove a right to cast a vote.

I'm sure she will be well briefed in advance, if not already.

Sorry? Are you being serious? You are really at a loss?

What's the point in a queen?

Or Mary McAleese?

Good question. None in my opinion, but it's  only my opinion. Ah, this is a right disaster, even my sister who's not interested in politics says she hopes the queen of england gets a history lesson about the naming of the Hogan Stand. I also added my own few sentences of the Brits in the occupied 6 counties as well and Crossmaglen etc. I suppose Sean Kelly will be one of the first to greet her.

sorry but why she going to croker?

Well hard luck about the non members.
