The DUP thread

[RedHand88]

Why do they do this nonsense? Send Michelle O'Neill to NI soccer matches and DUP to GAA matches. Pointless exercise.

Reconciliation and outreach.

Hope you're nowhere near the Ireland Reunification committee / talks

[gallsman]

I wasn't talking about you.

People cry and pretend to be offended that he hasn't gone to a football or hurling match. Then when he does they move the goalposts and her upset about precisely what match he goes to. Could you be bothered like.

Arlene going to Clones was hardly impressive, considering that she could have walked there in a couple of hours, which is about where we get parked. However, I did think that Stalford made an effort by coming that day.

Gordon Lyons waited until after the anthem to take his seat. Would have been hilarious if they played it again once he got to his seat

An example of a true bigot

Comment by Jarlath in Westport last night

" Saturday evening, we had the DUP sports minister Gordon Lyons in the Athletic Grounds watching our game.

"He couldn't get over firstly the crowd, it was packed, secondly the atmosphere, thirdly the fact no one was segregated, the fourth thing he said was I'm looking around at half-time, it is all respectable people who go to these games. That is what the GAA is."

I hope that statement is reported by the northern press.

What a load of condescending piss from Gordon Lyons. In other words, 'I can't believe you peasants are actually able to behave yourselves'.
Respectable people....give me strength.
Just reinforces the notion that we are the inferior race.

[Aristo 60]

Or its an acknowledgement that your average irish league attendee is from the relative dregs?!

How do we know he  actually said those words?

[weareros]

I don't buy those comments or else Jarlath left off #5 for surely Gordon must have made a remark about the attractive GAA women sitting within eyesight.
