Andy Gray and Richard Keys, the Sky Sports presenters who were caught uttering misogynistic sentiments off-screen, raised a serious question for soccer to answer - is the sport inherently sexist? dammon (Meath) - Posts: 1291 - 23/02/2011 13:46:45 874458 Link 0 |

Not so sure how welcoming the GAA would be to all those new votes coming to the organisation, the status Quo, jobs for the boys might get upset a tad. They have made overtures to the womens organistion to to come under the umbrella for sure but on their terms, with a view to subsuming them. Not cooperating with the womens game might be a regrettable step in the longer term considering the contribution women make at grassroots level. dhorse (Laois) - Posts: 11374 - 23/02/2011 15:15:32 874597 Link 0 |

Be interesting to see how many men go to watch the camogie match that is on before the Dublin v Kerry match on Sunday, I would hazard a guess that 99% of the crowd will not arrive until the camogie game is over. Personally I have no interest in women's football or camogie, but without trying to sound condescending I say good luck to them. gilly0512 (Galway) - Posts: 1176 - 24/02/2011 14:36:17 875486 Link 0 |

I'd rather watch a cricket match before a womans Gaa match. And i'm a big Gaa fan. They should stick to the more traditional role of tea and sandwhiches. Andy Gray's right! gaa4life. (Galway) - Posts: 94 - 24/02/2011 17:33:43 875684 Link 0 |
I remember a particularly spiteful match a few years ago between two neighbouring clubs. There were about 15 women from the one extended family on the sideline umbrellas in hand supporting their young relative. The lad got a few dirty thumps to the utter disgust of these women. When a lad was eventually sent off and was about to leave the field on the far side the women roared at the referee "send the ****** off over this side ref "" !! Judging from their reputation they would have killed him !! Cavan_Slasher (Cavan) - Posts: 10253 - 24/02/2011 17:50:49 875713 Link 0 |

Actually apologies I didnt mean Joe but wasnt it a square ball first of all before he rugby tackled it over the line? I cant think of the players name.. seamus something for meath was in the small square before the ball entered it.. and resulted in that "goal". rossielassie (Roscommon) - Posts: 672 - 24/02/2011 19:50:56 875840 Link 0 |
