Northern Ireland Gaa League

[cadhlancian]

My local DUP concillor told me that Ian Paisley is supposed to be meeting members of the Ulster council within the next 6 months so that he can discuss restructuring of the Gaa in Northern Ieland. Apparently they want to separate the 6 counties away from the 26 and form our own northern ireland gaa championship, pulling out of the all-ireland. Counties would be restructured to make more teams like south derry and north derry etc.. This is supposedly to make the gaa more "protestant-friendly" and was even discussed during the sf/dup talks according to him. can anyone shed some light on this? and what do you all think, i wouldnt be opposed to it, it would definately stop any whinging from the southerners.

That's right, all that matters is the Anglo-Celt, and the Sam Maguire is nothing more than a bauble of a side-show... how fecking thick we are!

there are times when I'd love to have the balls to actually have this argument with someone, but I just cant get my head around it. I'd trade every anglo celt from the last 10 years for 2 more Sams- 2 in particular spring to mind...

.... that nighmare period of 4-5 years, when we lost to Leitrim in Connacht Final, lost to Cork in All-Ireland Semi by 5-10 to 0.15(or somthing like that), Castlebar Mitchells where beaten by even more in the All-Ireland Club Final by Nemo Rangers and Galway actually managed to "bate Mayo" as per the Saw Doctors song of that period and Roscommonn where better than us, the Rossies & Leitrim put up far better opposition to Meath & Dublin than we did to Cork in the Semis, Brian McDonald had Mayo pushing cars around carparks & Jack O'Sea was wearing Kerry socks when he was managing us against Kerry in the league. O what a dark dark time.

I'm fervently praying for a speedy return of those wonderful days. 
I know the Leitrim player you're referring to but I dont think it's anyone's business what Religion any player has.
