There was more abuse thrown at co Antrim hurlers in Waterford at the weekend too. This needs education by the GAA about what happened in the Troubles. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2522 - 28/02/2022 09:54:46 2402873 Link 0 |
If the players throwing abuse need educating then there's no hope. Them same players would know more about what's happening over the water and welcoming royals to their towns. If a player takes a red card for listening to ***** fair play.

I agree with you 100%. If a player is poked, prodded and blackguarded all day long he is supposed to just take it and if he retaliates he gets put off and his tormentor stays on, despite match officials often seeing what's going down from the word go.

What's your view on the abuse given by people from the North to people from the South? Or are you just another one who pretends that doesn't happen?

No abuse either way but it needs called out on all sides.

I take it you're also somebody who pretends incidents don't happen? You haven't condemned the incident in discussion once. Just the usual whataboutary. Id like to clarify that abuse of any players background is unacceptable, is it beyond you to say the same?

I asked the same questions you and other Ulster posters shout about all the time. Everyone else has to provide proof etc yet when it involves an Ulster county everyone's just to take it as fast and if anyone was to dare say otherwise they're anti Ulster

Would such ban also apply to Ulster players using the words "free stater" to insult southern players?? And that's not to mention the abuse serving Defence Forces members get from time to time from Ulster teams. All good natured fun until someone says something back - usual story.

The Down manager is originally from Cork.

Where did I ask you for proof of anything? Deal with what I said and quit the stereotyping. I've condemned any incident north or south. All I asked, was it too much for you to condemn the Antrim and Down incidents and that's your response? You're clearly just trolling if that's all you can come up with.

Nah the usual story is people like yourself using a thread highlighting a sectarian incident in a match to demonstrate that you show zero support towards a fellow gael because you somehow hold him responsible for something said in an unrelated incident. If this was a southern player receiving the same abuse I wouldnt be on here calling it anything other than what it is, a disgrace to the game. Any reason why you and others can't do the same? Tiobraid, I think this answers your question. Some clearly aren't willing to move on. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2406 - 06/03/2022 18:03:48 2404107 Link 0 |
I abhor sectarianism in all its shades. As well, I dislike the use of "northern" and "southern" to define which side of the border Irish people come from. I doubt someone from Muff in County Donegal or a person living in Westport, County Mayo could reasonably be called "southern"? ballagoballa (UK) - Posts: 49 - 06/03/2022 19:12:57 2404126 Link 0 |
All good natured? Hardly!

It's very related actually. The likes of you and Ulsterman will shout from the roof tops when these alterations are made, and that's what they are as much as you try and claim otherwise, but have nothing to say when it's the other way around. There's an example in another thread of how other "gaels" are treated by their fellow Ulster men when it come to religion. Unsurprisingly the ones who make the most noise were nowhere to be seen when that was brought up. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1387 - 07/03/2022 14:10:34 2404280 Link 0 |
Are you reading my posts or are you still just branding me with others? I've condemned incidents across the board in the last few days on here. You've decided to ignore them to suit your silly rants. I haven't a clue about the thread you're talking about, im not on here every day nor do i read every thread. Find it and I'll give you my take on it no bother but it'll likely be a waste of time considering your attitude. While you're busy accusing others of double standards, I've yet to see a post from you condemning the Antrim or Down incidents, still too much?

Alleged incidents. Again unless you've information confirming then please feel free to share it with us? Here you go... https://www.irishtimes.com/news/gaa-player-quits-over-sectarian-abuse-1.952335 oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1387 - 07/03/2022 17:10:20 2404333 Link 0 |
Awk it's only alleged so it's all grand. Would you have the same attitude if it was racism? Child abuse? Murder? No evidence so it didn't happen and don't expect any support from you? Good to know. Go back and check my post from Friday on the 'Time to take a stand' thread, I've already gave my opinion on that horrible case. You also know that because you responded to it yourself so I'm not sure why you're posting it again. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2406 - 07/03/2022 17:34:47 2404342 Link 0 |
Now who's bringing up unrelated things? Do you or do you not have information about these claims to prove they happened? Because you and other Ulster posters are very fast to look for "proof" when it's happening the other way around. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1387 - 07/03/2022 20:30:55 2404363 Link 0 |
Me? Where did I ask for proof of anything? It seems beyond you to address me as an individual and what I said as opposed to whatever anyone else said who happen to come from Ulster.
