patrique - sure the very essence of the GAA is a type of parochial racisism. It's what keeps it going.

so rugby is part irish well that settles it then - this is regby country.

the gaa was formed under british rule so therefore the gaa is a british sport- that cant be denied- all the men you met in thurles were all british citizens of this there is no doubt

I always wondered why the rest of the lads didn't beat the head off Webb-Ellis when he picked the ball up and ran off with it.

I hope not. If this is the case then its a disgrace. Ireland is unique in that it has the biggest amateur sports in the world and these are also the two most skillful sports in the world, whereas on a rugby pitch 8 out of the 15 players would be deemed obese by their local GP's, and the other 7 cant run fairly fast in a straight line. Terrible game, if the 6 nations weekend viewing was anything to go by anyway
has always been an upperclass sport even look at the match day ticket prices and an awful of bank employees get free tickets once a sport turns professional it looses its credibility as a person that people can relate to

how can you say forwards in rugby are obese, yeah at junior 3 or 4 level you will find some players fairly unfit which is the equivilent of a junior b or junior c gaa team.(and there isnt unfit players playing at that level)
upperclass sport.... usual gaa head up **** look at rugby. some of the oldest rugby clubs in the country are in nenagh, tipp town, so thats bull.
and bank employees dont get free tickets to croke park and other gaa games. you have your head in your ****
