Have to say fair play to the lads, they let their hair (among other things) down. Some of the reaction is ridiculous! Lads win trophy, lads go on a bender, lads have the craic. To those who question them or criticise them I say dry your eyes and grow up. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 26/10/2017 12:07:56 2058109 Link

I'd say worse has gone on in clubs and villages around the country! They probably kept it offline though! The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 705 - 26/10/2017 12:38:38 2058120 Link
Doesn't bother me personally but look at it from say the side of parents who may have youngsters playing there , not really what they might want to see going on in their gaa club. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1898 - 26/10/2017 12:39:05 2058121 Link
We watch the snapper these days and remember a more "innocent" time, a time when the church held sway and we were all embarrassed if we saw a pair of boobs on Channel 4 We thought we were passed it.... Then this becomes a national "scandal" and you realise we are still as whipped by catholic guilt as we ever were Pathetic in 2017 that this is a news story atall ffs It's no ones business Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 26/10/2017 12:40:02 2058122 Link

Completely agree....itll be interesting to see the list of friendly offers they receive bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 26/10/2017 12:40:38 2058123 Link
Don't understand why there's even talk of an investigation at all over this. Nobody was hurt and they had a bit of a laugh so don't see why it's even news to be honest. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 26/10/2017 12:41:34 2058124 Link
Excepted over reaction in PC Ireland. The only mistake they made was videoing the party. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 26/10/2017 12:41:49 2058125 Link

To those who question them or criticise them I say dry your eyes and grow up." Having the craic and letting your hair down is fine but having the county trophy being used as a "milking bucket" and a sex act being performed in public, all under the reasoning of celebrating a county title is going too far, do it in private if you wish but keep the trophy and any association with your club out of it, I'm sure this is not the type of publicity Ballyragget wanted out of this and I'm sure the families of some of those photographed and videoed will be really embarrassed. I'm far from a conservative I can assure you but this was too much Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 26/10/2017 12:44:10 2058126 Link
Who is the dope that videoed or photographed it?!!! That's what the investigation should be centred on! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13704 - 26/10/2017 12:51:19 2058134 Link

ah, there's prostitution involved. That is illegal. It also supports criminals. I feel sorry for lads who think that visiting strippers or using prostitutes is normal. hurlinspuds (Cork) - Posts: 1494 - 26/10/2017 12:59:41 2058137 Link

Videos of wives, girls & daughters getting involved in the "craic" when the ladies team wins a title? Seems it's ok to have the fellas behaving like animals in a field but I'd say there would be a change of mind if this was a video of a women's team with a couple of male strippers especially if the women were related or known to the posters who think this is all a "harmless bit of craic" Let's call a spade a spade here. This is a disgrace on any level full stop. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 26/10/2017 13:01:27 2058139 Link

Or would you have gone all out and allowed them a cidona? gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 26/10/2017 13:02:01 2058140 Link
Replying To hurlinspuds: "ah, there's prostitution involved. That is illegal. It also supports criminals. I feel sorry for lads who think that visiting strippers or using prostitutes is normal." No there's not. There are strippers which are entirely legal. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 26/10/2017 13:03:51 2058142 Link
Replying To gotmilk: "Would a bag of tayto and club orange have been a suitable way for the lads to celebrate for you? Or would you have gone all out and allowed them a cidona?" There is a big distance between the two gotmilk. What if one fo the women involved was connected to you in some way. Would it all be ok then?

There were strippers involved and that it fine. But in one of the leaked pictures there is definitive proof of a sex act being carried out in public and being recorded. I'm far from a prude but even I think that's gone a bit far. The other stuff was harmless enough though. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9115 - 26/10/2017 13:12:23 2058148 Link

Funny that I remember a team acting disgracefully at the Gaelacht one year and it all got brushed under the carpet to save embarrassment. ifindoubt (Donegal) - Posts: 133 - 26/10/2017 13:24:09 2058155 Link
