WTF, why is GSTQ played before a motorbike race?
Indeed. And why is Amhrán na bhFiann played before a football match?

It's telling that Keyser only found it odd when it was GSTQ, but really it's no more odd than before every football match.Quote from: Keyser soze on May 16, 2010, 02:08:56 PMIndeed.

Surely a national anthem is for international events? At any rate, it should be limited to finals, preferably just the AI.

The evidence that has come out, has been in favour of the BBC - Quinn accessing messageboards in work time and slagging his employer into the bargain, the BBC replacing Quinn with Irish Catholics, the BBC giving the sports personality award to a GAA star even though Quinn claims the panel was rigged against the GAA - and noone has stepped forward to speak on the complainant's behalf. GAA people who have spoken out have talked warmly of the relationship between the sport and the broadcasters. His nonsense talk about the NW 200 being a Protestant sport (culchie borefest, maybe, but Protestant?? ) has made him appear a bit hysterical and has done nothing to enhance his work prospects in the future. In addition, the case has done nothing for the image of the GAA: Mr GAA himself looks like a disgruntled employee with a chip on his shoulder, while all the GAA message boarders and facebookers who have weighed in to support him have given credence to the theory that your average GAA Joe or Josephine is a grievance on legs who sees evidence of discrimination everywhere, even where it doesn't exist.Quote from: cornafean on May 15, 2010, 06:29:15 PMI can't see it myself. His case was based on being discriminated because he was an Irish Catholic, yet he was replaced by other Irish Catholics.
I'm no legal eagle but I suspect that Jerome will win his case.
I don't think he has done himself any favours in bringing this case.
QuoteI cannot recall any other recent natural disaster where the humanitarian effort was preceded by the arrival of an invasion sized military detachment from a neighbouring country.Can you recall any recent disasters that occurred in such an impoverished, unorganized violent and inaccessible place
QuoteThe other world view is that if you watch Al Jazeera [which to the best of my knowledge is a very well respected news channel] it is an imperative that you will automatically be anti-AmericanAnd we're being defensive?.....where did I say Al Jazeera weren't a reputable network, you'd simply be hard pressed
QuoteIf you want to defend what the USA has done in Haiti in relation to their aid effort, do so. Don't post irrelevant claptrap which only serves to make you look like a fool.Anyone that holds such animosity and hate regardless of the subject are who look and sound like fools here!
QuoteWith political insight like this it is no wonder that idiots of the calibre of G W Bush and Sarah Palin can garner such levels of support from the US public.Surely you know by now that the statement above makes you sound like an ignorant idiot!
