Tomsmith Cavan here I just wonder would the Gaa be a great service to the Gaa players if a total ban was imposed on all GAA players participating in this so called stag night or indeed the twelve pubs night during the Summerr playing season. It could be banned at club level first and then if it was successful you could have a county wide ban I suppose it would have to be a voluntary ban. I know that the females among us ( The great Mrs T included) will say that hen nights will be the next thing to be banned. But if you look at it currently team managers have to juggle between weedings, stag nights, hen nights, 18th birthday, 21 st and the latest is a getting together celebration tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3855 - 29/10/2016 10:07:54 1929987 Link

Birthdays should also be banned. Weddings wtf are they all about anyway. In this day and age how can any man in his right mind commit the rest of his life to one woman anyway. I think the GAA needs to lobby the US govt to restrict J1 visas from anyone who has played GAA over the previous 24 months. Add it to the declaration slip, ffs! Have you ever been part of a terrorist organisation? Have you played Gaelic Games? Have you been detained for drug trafficking offences? These f8cking players, are their f8cking liberties. Having a life outside of football! F8ck sake. Balanced life, I'll balance your f8cking life for you. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4201 - 29/10/2016 11:14:33 1929993 Link

Sure why not just ban people from playing gaa games sure, that would sort it. bulmccabe (Tyrone) - Posts: 361 - 29/10/2016 14:26:52 1930022 Link

What I am trying to do is improve the welfare of the GAA folk and young people/men in general that play our National Sport. A voluntary ban on drinking stag nights U 18 U21 party nights ( let hen nights be exempt this ban just now) to improve the well being of our young population. Wouldn't most right thinking parents be delighted to hear of this exciting new idea. tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3855 - 31/10/2016 10:07:26 1930351 Link

I think players should be banned from smiling when the walk in the gates from a GAA pitch. Players who are sent off in county finals should not be allowed to celebrate with the team. Post county final sessions should also be banned, they are an absolute bonanza for a local publican but a complete pest for the local A&E.

Saffron Co Down Tomsmith Cavan here I think you did not read my post or if you did not have not understood it For clarification I propose that a voluntary ban be imposed on all Stag nights during the playing season It would be a simple local arrangement where anyone organising such an event would be boycutted. I did make an exemption for Hen nights as I feel these are not as boistories (lively, active, animated, exuberant, spirited, bouncy, frisky, excited, overexcited, in high spirits, high-spirited, ebullient, vibrant, rowdy, unruly, wild, uproarious, unrestrained, undisciplined, uninhibited, uncontrolled, abandoned, rough, romping, rollicking, disorderly, knockabout, riotous, rip-roaring, rumbustious, roistering, tumultuous) as the male version of this event The above is posted for clarification tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3855 - 01/11/2016 22:09:13 1930788 Link
