Most Angelic County In Ireland (GAA)

ONeill · March 13, 2013, 01:21:16 PM

There's bound to be a county out there with no stories (on the net) referring to on-field gouging, ball-tugging, jaw-breaking, spitting, wire-jumping, back-kneeing, barrel-throwing, referee-slapping and so on. Surely Leitrim or Waterford.

I'm sure the Kilkenny footballers are all nice lads.

On another note, what goes on here is tame compared to what's supposed to go on stateside. A friend of mine who lived and played club football in the US told me once that you'd have to shoot someone during a match before you'd get sent off...

Longford surely

Last time we hit the headlines was a long number of years ago when an Ardagh lad poleaxed the ref and got a lifetime ban.

Our hurlers are too old and infirm or too young and weak to be of any nuisance to anyone $:-\$

According to Breheny ye have started diving to get Armagh players sent off.

I also pointed out how in a Division 2 game an Armagh player rugby-tackled a Longford opponent as he bore down on goal, merely conceding a free and taking a meaningless yellow card while preventing an almost certain goal in a very tight contest.

He reckons ye could end up relegated because of that dive.

we eliminate Tyrone, Dublin, kerry, in the running for this one, better add Armagh too for using Roscommon as a dumping ground

I don't think Leitrim or Fermanagh have harmed too many of us in the past?

I was thinking that myself, but sure wasn't there a mass walkout in Fermanagh a few years ago? Hardly angelic behaviour!

What about Carlow. They never annoyed anyone and sure haven't they lovely jerseys

Itchy · March 13, 2013, 10:45:46 PM

Carlow was always full on in fighting when Eire Og were the top club team in Ireland. Has to be Leitrim.

ONeill · March 13, 2013, 10:53:52 PM

Fighting Cocks in Carlow.

Dougal Maguire · March 13, 2013, 11:05:12 PM

Ok. Wicklow then

Locked a ref in the boot of a car Dougal!

Leitrim has to be the winner?

What about Louth, caused no trouble recently that I remember?

Not part of the GAA but Camoige Assoication, the Wicklow Camoige Club players are meant to have a fierce reputation for the brawling.
