votes: 9
The Great Croke Park debate rages on...
that debate was about a year ago!
its over and done with.
croke park will see foreign sports as some would call them at 3pm on sunday, end of story!
Fairly biased options on the poll there
Don't think people are polling honestly. when I polled 50% said they voted no if that was the case Croke Park would not be opening its doors to Rugby and soccer.
we'll change the vote then put the other options up. if we keep it to a vote then it will not overcome the borad. FAAI topic this and IRFUR that....
The only thing that helps me get over this is that it is temporary.
Opening up of croke park to competing sports is a temporary little arrangement!
Surely the option "so our national rugby and soccer teams would not have to play home games in foreign countries" should be included in your pool!!!
Thats a good option but thats recognising the partitioned stance of floppy and co on Irish soccor so no the soccor gatherup in Merrion square are not my national soccor team. Rugby yes.
its not our national soccer team
Listen. SOme of the fcuming =====
Sorry there the computer went a bit mad.
What im trying to say is LISTEN! This is Dublin's ground first and foremost. You f**king redneck culties should be asking us for permission to play on it. I have no problem leting O'Driscoll on it. I have no problem letting Damien Duff on it. I do have a problem leting that big-eared ginger from Kerry on it. ASK US! Not ask the GAA. ASK DUBLIN|!
GAA = Croke Park
Dublin = Parnell Park :P
Forkinknife, as has been discussed before, Croke Park is the headquarters of the GAA, it is not "Dublin's ground first and foremost" Dublins ground is Parnell Park. How many league games have Dublin Played in croke park since 2001? Kerry, Tyrone, Armagh have all had as many games on the hollow turf of croke as dublin in championship during this period.
As for letting O'Driscoll, Duff etc etc onto Croke i have no problem with this becuse it was voted for by the members of the GAA (not just Dublin). This may not be the case come the next vote, but for the meantime as a member of the GAA i support the decision taken by congress.
QuoteKerry, Tyrone, Armagh have all had as many games on the hollow turf of croke as dublin in championship during this period.
Not only have they had more games, but they've played better than Dublin too.

If Mayo or Tyrone ask the Dubs permission to play on it, will the Dubs give it only for the first half as they will get spanked in their own back yard if they allow the second half. Or maybe they will just refuse permission to Mugsy

From Wikipidia:
Jackeen is a mildly pejorative term for someone from Dublin, Ireland. An suggested origin of the word comes from the personification of England, John Bull. Due to its proximity and long historical ties to Britain, Irish people outside of the Pale thought that Dubliners wanted to be English. John Bull became Jack Bull and, using the Irish suffix -ín meaning small, Jack became Jackeen. Therefore, Jackeen literally means Little Jack or "minibrit".
Another source of the term stems from Dublin's close ties to Britain in the late 18th and early 19th century. During the visit of Queen Victoria to Dublin in 1900, the Union Flag or "Union Jack" was flown by enthusiastic Dubliners leading to native dubliners being known as Jackeens by the rest of the Irish population.
Today, Jackeen is often used to describe Dublin GAA players and supporters[1][2]. The term has also been shortened to "Jack" or the plural "Jacks" by Dublin fans as a way to refer to themselves
That auld Union flag might come in handy again in a few weeks when England come to town, I bet there is one still in your house somewhere, you must be really proud of your ancestors. Jackeen.

:D :D :D :D
Even if that is true forkinknife (to be honest i couldnt be arsed to check if it is correct) is still doesnt make it dublins home pitch any more than its our "culchies" home ground!!!
I take it your not one of them fair weather dub fans that know the ins and out of gaelic football ::)
ffs Parnell Park is Dublins home ground!
Croke Park = GAA
Parnell Park = Dublin
forkinknife = No-one. Just stirring.
46.2 % look to be in favour forkinknife.

forkinknife, i bet you are one of those people that no one likes.
ireland will possibly be without o'driscoll and stringer for the match against england at croke park. however, england will also be somewhat weakened as they will be without their guns since their last visit to the stadium.

how exactly, i wonder, did people decide that dubliners wanted to be like the brits? was it bacuse of all the liverpool, celtic and man united jerseys? Sher no one outside Dublin watches Sky super sunday do they? I'm sure someone can tell me how many people turned out to wave flags at the queen exactly? 100% of all dubliners i'm sure. No one in the rest of ireland ever flew a union jack did they, ah isnt history great in black and white when you fill in the grey bits with whatever spin you want to put on things. I even heard one version, that the dublin population waved flags as the british reinforcements came up the river during 1916. We even had one fool on here last week saying dubliners wouldnt know what a freedom fighter was. Someone needs to read up on their history i'd say. ha ha ... the jack bull thing just proves that anti-dublin sentiment is nothing new ... but ye love us really wha! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sunday will be our day of Shame. Black Armbands should be worn by all G.A.A. people. Our fore-fathers will be spinning in their graves. What thanks will we get for it, naught but the hard word.
