When you read some of the posts here may be it should read posters ruining the forum.

In fairness to the lad, I agree with most of what he says even if the thread was loosely headed. There is plenty of banter on here, but there is also plenty of begrudging horseshite, on all sides! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 24/09/2016 22:13:19 1918785 Link 2 |
Stupid thread, diving and sledging and are ruining the game, not what's posted on an anonymous forum. TirChonaillabu2 (Donegal) - Posts: 344 - 24/09/2016 22:50:00 1918797 Link 1 |

No, you know well what I mean, yes if someone calls you a pri#k or a cu#t you might feck them back, that's generally par for the course. No I'm talking about constant verbals that get personal, that's the stuff of cowards & something I never tolerated as a player or a manager. Anyone condoning this is, is why the Gaa is rotten with it at the moment & as has been typical in the Gaa it's all swept under the carpet. I suppose the abuse dished out disgracefully to a great sportsman Lee Chin is part of the game & all. I hope your not coaching young lads as your thinking is not something I would like to see passed on. The type who defends the guy who elbows the head & defends it as a man's game, lots of them here already, not worthy of debating with.

OK thread title was a bad one, I meant the discussion after games is being ruined. I am not condoning diving or sledging. What I said was I can't honestly say I haven't lost my temper on a pitch and called someone a p###k. I always knew the difference between a real nasty player/incident when I was playing and a messy/bad tackle type of thing. I watched the drawn game and saw a competitive contest with savage intensity, maybe not the best football in the world but I enjoyed it. Mayo were the better side and Dublin were blessed with the two goals tbh. I wasn't paying for cards, I thought the ref did well but I turn on hoganstand and lads are talking about spear tackles and who should be sent off? Just makes no sense to me. Every game now is being discussed on the basis of who should have been sent off, what the ref missed and lately where the refs from/where he works? I just don't see the craic in that Beepee (Dublin) - Posts: 17 - 25/09/2016 01:30:07 1918807 Link 1 |
For that matter does anyone know how I change the title? Beepee (Dublin) - Posts: 17 - 25/09/2016 01:40:04 1918809 Link 0 |
1 I don't remember people on here calling any player scum. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4241 - 25/09/2016 02:21:27 1918810 Link 1 |
In all fairness if we are being serious we could take a leaf out of the hurlers book, players officials fans and posters! They just seem to get on with it, and no one can argue with the level of intensity there. Only draw back would be HS would be like a ghost town perish the thought. mactomac (UK) - Posts: 37 - 25/09/2016 08:36:59 1918816 Link 1 |
Controversy sells Beepee. Always has and always will. ill be honest, id much rather come on here and debate controversial issues from games than throw obvious praise at players or teams that are doing well, discussions rarely develop from that. But i dont see any of the name calling your suggesting as the admin keep a closed lid on that sort of stuff on here. you mentioned that the likes of Mick Lyons recieves great respect from Dublin people but i remember him getting dogs abuse from the stands in those days. I'd say in 25 years time the likes of Lee Keegan will get the same respect from Dublin people. all the abuse from the stands or forums are in the heat of the moment, similar to actions that happen on the field. It's wise to take it all with a ponch of salt. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 25/09/2016 12:18:37 1918868 Link 0 |
Agreed, pinch of salt seems the way to go, I remember mick Lyons getting plenty stick too but it was over with the whistle and everyone to a man reckoned at that time he was a great player and a good gaa man. Same way I reckon keegan is a top player and a great gaa man today. Fella doesn't know when to stop giving. If he's involved in a sloppy tackle or a handbag episode, let the ref deal with it and admire him for what he is, a good man who gives more to his people than he gets. I just can't help being annoyed by the focus, Joe brolly included on what fellas do wrong, it seems to be blown out of all proportion

well Joe Brolly is one of those who should be taken with a bowl of salt never mind a pinch. He's in that position, purely for entertainment value as opposed to any serious analysis. Another thing that should be noted is the influence of social media in todays society as well as coverage of far more games than there was 25 years ago. It gives everyone a platform to express their opinion, this was simply unheard of in previous eras so it is impossible to compare.

I think the key conclusion here is that the decline in Gaelic football is largely Tyrone's fault; and that the decline dates from 2003. In order to reform the game, serious consideration needs to be given to a 26 county GAA, like the soccer. The Nordies, especially Tyrone, are not as honourable as anyone from down South. This may be because of because of the Troubles, or it just may be the way they naturally area; either way, the game would be better off without them. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 26/09/2016 10:49:37 1919151 Link 1 |
His own county are more than able to do their own sledging when required too alano! As the original poster stated it has been going on for years, we all have experienced it and dished it out im sure and it will continue. There are certain lines that should not be crossed and most of us would deal with it on the pitch if they are crossed. bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 26/09/2016 11:08:00 1919160 Link 0 |
Haha, while you're obviously tongue-in-cheek above, I would say this: That Tyrone team raised the standard of the game to a new level that hadn't been seen previously. Armagh (briefly) and Kerry matched that level and gaelic football was at its highest ever standard in the middle of the last decade. It has not reached the same heights since nor do I expect it to in the next 4-5 years. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 26/09/2016 11:12:09 1919166 Link 0 |
Agreed, his righteousness is fatally undermined by his blatant and constant bias.

It's not just posters and it's not just the GAA. "Analysis" of both GAA and soccer is overwhelmingly negative and critical (a few sacred cows excepted) and this seems to appeal to a lot of people. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12122 - 26/09/2016 12:11:19 1919203 Link 0 |
