its funny how some posters from the six counties constantly harp on about those in the south being partitionist and yet use terms like free state and free staters. beyond moronic

Maybe, that for 20 years, GAA in ulster was almost forced underground, disrupted and seen as a hinderance to Britain, they did everything they could to quell the GAA in ulster and for years we were forced to be in a poorer position than eveeryone else.




Was that from 1920 to the 1940s when ANTRIM stood alone in the six counties, and reached all Ireland minor and senior hurling finals, won THREE IN A ROW all Ireland's at Camogie, and produced the great hand passing team, mainly responsible for first bringing the Railway Cup to the North in I think 1942?

Well, would it be then? Because if it is it is a bit late mentioning it now as people have tried to ridicule ME on this site for pointing out that if it had not been for ANTRIM standing ALONE then, there would have been NO success for Down, or Tyrone, or anyone else.

While I love standing vindicated, I also think 1920-60 I would actually put it, is not relevant anymore.


And it had absolutely NOTHING to do with Britain. Unionists, who are IRISH, yes, but NOT Britain.

works both ways hipster. a lot of people call them nordies in the free part of ireland. the ones in the 6 call us freestaters. both are wrong as they both acknowledge partition. neither are racist or offensive

There is Sport and then there is Politics. Your point above is the latter. The sooner you Nordies learn to differentiation between the two the better.

Paddy the only time you post is when you can bring politics into it.
Lets leave out the nordies and the free staters comments and the petty vindictive comments. This is supposed to be a forum about and all Ireland sporting organisation.

I don't think that the term free state is always used in a derogatory fashion.It's nearly always just a turn of phrase i.e I was down in the free state or shortened to the state.To be fair it can also be used as a bit of an insult but more when saying free staters.That's usually insulting.

I never heard such nonsense as what that Roscommon buffoon said. As for all this 'nordie/free stater' carry on, will you all just chillax. The GAA is a 32 county organisation - a non-sectarian, non-racist organisation. Crossmaglen rangers had a goddamn military helicopter pad on their pitch and still became one of the best sides in country, money or no money.

You are doing irony today then. Pot kettle etc.......

So you are telling us that the decision to replace Micky Moran with John O Mahony had nothing to do with politics. For god sake man are you blind?

Am I correct in saying that roscommon board had debts somewhere in the region of over 1 million euro a few years ago. Maybe any funding available to roscommon is withheld because they would squander it. They certainly dont seem to direct it towards shane curran and his friends as reflected in their results. Sorry, the whole of Roscommon shouldnt be held accountable for this mans attempt at being controversial.

surely the GAA is a 32 county sporting organisation
It is soccer that is partitionist with their 26 county and 6 county teams
