I saw someone picking their nose at a GAA match one time... my hair turned white.

The greater the intensity of a match the more cursing/swearing there is.
I think it adds something uniquely irish to the game.
It never did me any harm.

Happy Ash Wednesday to all!!

Is this how P.C. thigs have gotten in Ireland that there should be no cursing at a football match. I curse at Louth matches sometimes, and it is because when you get really into the game, it's what happens. Some people on here should go watch other sports like Cricket, Tennis or Golf, were it will be nice and calm from all the crowd, and not a hint of a bad word from anyone.

There was a fella by the name of Gilmore, first name escapes me, played on the PGA tour a few years ago. Brought a very economically diverse set of fans, certainly wasnt "calm" by any stretch. Another chap by the name of McGavin - had some right looney fans. One of them actually drove onto a golf course trying to attack an opponent of his "hero". Again, not very "calm" behaviour.

I was at a Antrim v Tyrone match last year and a Man in his Sixties was shouting and cusing until a woman beside who had about five kid's with her asked him would he please refrain from using such foul and abusive language, he swiftly turned around and told her in very colourful language to take a flying **** and get back to the kitchen as he was supposed to be a Tyrone fan I was to asked him to tone down his antics he give me a torrent of expletives!. at half-time the woman went away but was soon back with Her Husband who was a well known SF man with a couple of friends, needless to say the Second half was a much quieter affair , well from one supporter. And for the record Tyrone won! [:o)

if the woman with the kids was so concerned about the type of language her children were being subjected to SHE should have moved. instead she went away and rounded up the heavy's, she in my eyes was worse than the fella using the expletives. if the lad hadn't toned down his language a confrontation and or perhaps an altercation would most likely have ensued and SHE put her kids right in the firing line. did she want them to witness what a big fella their dad was ?. SHE put here kids in a position where they may have gotten hurt had the lad who was using the expletives did what she did and rounded up some of his friends.

I've never heard an angry word spoken in the county, from Fr kehoe Pk in the west to Fr Maher Pk in Graigue or from Mc Cann pk to Kelly/Daly pk in the south. Maybe we need to get angrier

Wayno wind your neck in stop being an eejit would ye, Its alright to have a quiet curse but why roar it all over the place? -

Would you grow up. You are clearly showing that you have never been to a big game in your life. Fans are passionate , fans will curse when anger/frustration gets the better of them, It's a rush of blood to the head. It won't ever be stopped. There is no such thing as a quiet curse when your in the height of it.

Funny how relevant the topic is for me this week.

Went to the Cork-Galway match in the Páirc on Sunday with my five-year-old young fella and was unfortunate enough to be sitting a few rows in front of a particularly foul-mouthed Cork fan who went far beyond the odd eff or blind and during the second half when Cork were under pressure, he basically started to pour a non-stop torrent of abuse on top of the ref and some of the Cork players. I moved away to a different part of the stand after about five minutes of this and there was no more than the usual odd swear word that you would expect out of the fans in this section.

The episode listening to your man had obviously left an impression on my son, though, as he later asked his Mam what a c**t was.
Needless to say, I got a nice bit of (swear word-less) abuse myself at this point, and the small fella won't be seeing the inside of Páirc Uí Caoimh for a quite some time.
