The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - RIP Diogo

[JoG2]

f**k me hi I'd be curious as to how anyone can join a forum and think this adds to it

Oh oh, you're in bother when Munchie starts, I mean finishes his working day 😬

Says the lad with 6000 posts.

I have abused who?  You have 19000 posts here, you can easily go through my 444 - as mentioned take your hyperbole and have a word with yourself.

You're trying to act the lad by attempting to ridicule the rest of us who wish to discuss the goings on at LFC. Adding nothing to the discussion except trying to draw attention to yourself on the basis that somehow caring about an English soccer team apparently nullifies or lessens our integrity when it comes to GAA.

I didn't say you abused anyone. I asked if your apparent distaste for the mingling of GAA interest with following English soccer teams extends to your real life and young lads at GAA training wearing Liverpool and United jerseys. You're here throwing online shapes - it's an obvious question whether you do it in real life. I'm sure there are plenty of lads, whether young or adult, in your local GAA club who follow English teams just like we do. Do you (try to) ridicule or scold them?

That's the greatest horseshite back tracks I have ever read.  Now you went from me abusing folk to ridicule and scolding young lads at GAA training, you are full of it. All for trying to establish how folk once lording a lad now have issues with him because he had the audacity to complain.  If anyone you know leaves your employment and goes elsewhere is that them off the christmas list - wind your neck it, it's lads kicking a ball.

I looked back on what I wrote, and yes, there it is, a question, not an accusation:

"Do you throw abuse at young lads who might be wearing a Liverpool or Man Utd top to football or hurling training?"

Plus, I asked you what was wrong with people questioning Salah's decision to make that public statement to the press i.e. an invitation to you to discuss what you were trying to "establish", and you said:

"I couldn't care less about a multi millionaire playing for an English team throwing a strop, funny though watching Irish GAA folk losing the run of themselves over it.  "

So which is it? You don't care and you're just trying to ridicule people, or you actually want to "establish" why people care about what Salah did?

The fickle soccer supporters.       

Are they wrong?

Do you Salah is in the right with how he went about this?

I couldn't care less about a multi millionaire playing for an English team throwing a strop, funny though watching Irish GAA folk losing the run of themselves over it. 

Must not follow more than one sport. Not allowed. Forbidden.

I follow most sport but my team is not in Engerland.

So is it all foreign teams that are out of bounds, or just English ones specifically?

We need to know so we can make sure our GAA bona fides are not compromised.

Do you throw abuse at young lads who might be wearing a Liverpool or Man Utd top to football or hurling training?

It's been a few decades, but I remember quite a few English team jerseys during underage training at my club in Donegal. Maybe Donegal jerseys weren't as widely available then, but even if they had been, just about everyone on the squad was interested in English football and followed a team.

This one has been thrown at posters on soccer threads here for years.  By this logic it seems as if one can't be a true gael if they have an opinion on a team they follow outside of the GAA.  I find it interesting that someone would go to the bother of following these threads regularly to get wound up by people they say are getting wound up by soccer.

Ah, but it's teams from "Engerland" specifically, apparently.

Although we're yet to hear a reason why that's problematic.

I wonder what he thinks of Seimi Coleman, a true gael who lined out for Killybegs coming up through underage and still regularly attends Donegal games, but also makes his living as a professional soccer player for an English club?

Or indeed Conor Bradley (not sure if he gets to Tyrone games, but similar background).
