So that woman who went missing in Ibiza

[Tony Baloney]

Not agreeing with Tony on this specifically guy there's definitely a disparity in treatment of anyone connected to the GAA on the board, especially when it's someone from a poster's home county. Cathal McCarron for example. Same posters who'd gladly make gay jokes every chance they get were up in arms over any jokes made of the situation.

I have made this point before but someone correctly made the comment that it was people covering up or ignoring issues associated with the GAA; it was in fact insensitive to comment on these matters as people on the board may know those involved. I can see the point.

[T Fearon]

Anyone on this Board could know anyone who is pilloried on it,whether the subject is connected to the GAA or not.

[T Fearon]

Don't worry.It normally takes slow learners a little longer to reach my conclusions.

Seriously, and as an example,someone referenced a priest convicted of child abuse,during the debate on Sean Brady, who is not connected to the GAA,but who is personally known to me, and I'm sure others on this Board.While I would not in any way attempt to minimise his crimes,far less condone them,he does have a family, who are heartbroken.

It's the internet. Anyone could stumble across gaaboard and read something about someone they know.

Aye I'm sure Jose Mourinho, Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Luton could stumble across the board, but on balance I think it is more likely that someone connected with the GAA would access it.

[T Fearon]

Given the strength of the GAA in Ireland,it is inconceivable that someone from Ireland,referenced on this Board,in any context,would not at least,get to hear about it

[gallsman]

So what, it shouldn't be discussed because someone in the loop might stumble across it or have word get back to them? People shouldn't discuss horrific issues like child abuse, and not be afraid to openly name people involved, in case you or the family of the abuser hears about it?

[T Fearon]

On the contrary.But the wagons shouldn't be circled and those with a GAA background should not be exempted.

Right, one wagon wont do it Tony....

Talk of someone's short-comings as you would your own and you'll find you choose your words a little more carefully.

[Two Hands FFS]
