Norn Iron gets the chop at GAA game

If the NI map had been removed, there's still a problem with the .co.uk bit.

...and the Queen's head on the currency.

Fair enough. The complainant had a point

Point being he is a complete dick.

He probably works for the public sector and so is employed by Westminster.

Reductio ad absurdum

So does that mean that the GAA can't take grants from Stormont or by extension the 26 Co Dept of Sport?
Do MLAs get let into Gaelic games in the 6 Cos?
Did the Galballyites hear of the Good Friday Agreement?

Shades of removing Dúbhglás De hÍde as a patron back in the day.

The GAA's official guide says that the association "is a national organisation which has as its basic aim the strengthening of the national identity in a 32 county Ireland through the preservation and promotion of Gaelic games and pastimes".

Above is correct. The principles of the GAA trump whatever money is thrown at it. Galbally member was right to remove them.

Guide says you should do your strengthening through preservation of promotion of Gaelic Games.  This type of bolloxology does nothing to promote our games.  In fact, it may even turn a few people off.

Allowing a sponsor to advertise the area he/she sells cars in isn't exactly in the realms of persecution or denying anyone their identity.

Ex falso quodlibet

The breakdown in the logic occurs right at the beginning.

Excellent post  /Jim.

Ridiculous backward thing to do. They were showing where they done business and have always endeavoured to do it cross community.

Galbally shouldn't get another championship game, simple!

[general_lee]

I take it said Galbally member doesn't use pound sterling and avoids bbc NI on the tv 

Like I said here's a local business supporting the GAA and some (no doubt perennially offended) eejit rips down their advertisement because it has a wee drawing of the occupied 6 on it. Ireland is that wee bit closer to freedom now boys

[vallankumous]

I think this story needs a grain of salt.

[Helpline]

Fair play to the Galbally gael, a six county map should never adore any GAA ground,, Donnelly Group should know better with Phillip Jordan in their management.

[Rossfan]

Obviously Jordan will have to be banned from GAA activities until he takes a Re Education course in Galbally,  presumably delivered by the said "Gael".
Many Irish speakers in Galbally I wonder?

[armaghniac]

The dreary steeples.........
That oul' principle fair goes out the window when the oul £s are being applied for and accepted from Sportni

This type of analogy is offensive. As taxpayers GAA clubs should get their fare share of government funding. They should not be required to fly an Ulster flag to get it. They should also get their fare share of commercial funding without having to display maps of NI either. The company name should suffice without coat trailing maps.

[Jim_Murphy_74]

... coat trailing maps.

Yes, we have hit peak MOPERY!!!
