Replying To Square_B: "[quote=Pikeman96: "LOL. I'm not looking for that at all. Was just pointing out that neither of these arguments stand up to close scrutiny:
(a) they play in Connacht because we have the smallest number of counties and they beef up the numbers, and
(b) they play in Connacht because we have the largest diaspora.
And while I'd still maintain that an argument <u>could</u> be made for rotating New York between the provinces, I'm still not going to make that argument myself."</div>I'd just say you're being pedantic for pedantic sake. It's fine to hold your hands up and say you have no clue about NY GAA, no one really cares if you do or not to be honest."
LOL again.
For what it's worth, I'd say you're getting snappy because somebody dares to question the conventional "wisdom" over the two supposed reasons why it "makes sense" for New York to always play in the Connacht Championship. And I know enough about New York GAA to know that they'd welcome a team from Leinster or Munster or Ulster every bit as much as they welcome a team from Connacht. We've actually already got a good relationship with them here in Wexford, as more than once in recent years, their Minor team has come to play us when they visit Ireland in the Spring.
But no one really cares if you're snappy or not, to be honest."]Thanks for proving my point.
