It doesn't sit right with me, big steps going on at minute in the north to bring GAA in to protestant schools and try and open it up to the protestant community. I can already see in work other fellas taking an interest especially the rugby fellas in belfast. Whilst these fellas aren't deep seated rangers fans and i most certainly have no interest in Celtic, rubbish football, I think something like this will make them take a step back. You can't get away from the clubs history and sectarian problems which have been part and parcel with both clubs over the years and will be for years to come. GAA has enough money to help these areas out, where is it all going? Would also question celtics motives is this some way off looking attractive to young gaa budding stars they can pluck or trying to unearth new talent. Why cant they do it on their own through the irish government and not through the gaa?

As a Celtic fan and a Gaa fan it's great news. Jimmy McGuinness has earned a lot of plaudits since he started his stint at Parkhead and Neil Lennon has great time for him. Long may this continue.

I'd say they linked up with Celtic because Celtic showed an interest. Anyone giving off about it, pick up the phone to whatever EPL Club you're an armchair fan of and ask them to contribute !

Yeah Artisan. Again Celtic are showing they are proud of their links and if it benefits both the GAA and Celtic it's a win win.

So GAA are setting up a training camp for young teens in Ireland where they will be playing soccer. Seems the GAA actually want to lose even more young players and supporters to soccer across the wayer. Win/win for Celtic though. Imagine the uproar if the GAA did this with an AFL team? Would people be so happy then...?

Maybe if people actually did a bit of reasearch/reading in to the initiative they would realise they could take off the sandwich boards and stop worrying. So many merchants of doom and gloom on here.

Yes Celtic are sectarian and bigoted, they wear a poppy on their jerseys every year!
