What a bunch of whingers!

"end it now before we get beaten up again whah whah whah". the truth is the irish were as guilty as the Aussies the last time out, oh and by the way it had an attendance of 80k+ how about that for a dead duck? (Show me a GAA game this year with a higher attendance?) I just can't believe the defeatism, it's embarrassing.

Like many of you posters, if Sean Boylan realised that it's not Gaelic football being played we might get somewhere. For starters we don't know how to handle or use the tackle.... also all this talk about putting out a bunch of thugs? rubbish!
When we beat them it was with fast slick ball, first time passes and accurate kicking. When we went looking for a fight we got it back in spades.

The game will keep going as long as it puts bums on seats.

Floops - Just what does it add to Gaelic Football? Nothing! In fact it has done more damage to the GAA since it's rebirth along with the youth version!

Players should have to qualify to play in this i.e. 6 ft 2ins at least, 14 stone min, and 3 months training with Irish Olympic boxing coachs. Starved for 2 weeks and fed on raw meat 3 days before game.
