Why are we playing footie/hurling on Easter Sunday

[Maximus Marillius]

Now I am no mad monk, but I am totally puzzled why we are playing games today. Surely Easter Sunday has a unique place in our lives and it is a family day. County team teams playing away will have had to travel yesterday, supporters will have travelled yesterday, or have gotten up extremely early to go. The family unit for people involved in these games did not exsist today. Games contradict the Easter spirit. The GAA faternity seems to have nothing to say about it all. This is a sport after all and not a business. Perhaps someone can enlighten men, pardon the pun.

Have you got nothing better to do than sit on the internet if your such a family man!!!!

[Cloc Mor]

Doubt you spent much of the day in the pub with that rant, big lad.

I totally agree with what you say Maximus. Easter is more important that Christmas.

Ah jays don't go there, or she'll have me doing Easter shopping, putting up Easter trees, Easter lights, buying Easter presents ...

It's just another day, I can't be gathering with the family anymore than once a year.

I made the mistake of going to mass on Saturday evening. We're were held prisoner for over 2 hours.

Held Prisoner? Good God Orior, just imagine what our Lord was going through!!
