Replying To jm25: "NFL players have been taking a knee for anthem for decades not that it was relevant to my post Bit woke getting offended by people taking a knee" I thought it was pathetic, not offensive. If same hysteria took hold now i have little doubt there would be insisting in GAA joining the charade. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3998 - 07/02/2026 16:56:42 2655378 Link
Replying To supersub15: "I understand, for cultural reasons I only support one my self, like yourself I like watching rugby like Ireland and Leinster and sometimes I find my supporting one or the other depending on who they are playing if that makes sense." You support one team, but sometimes you support one or the other. You have to be related to Tom Smith. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1772 - 07/02/2026 17:05:39 2655379 Link

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "You might look ok with 'ball in hand', but Shane Horgan said we lack pace everywhere, and if you lack pace in rugby, you likely won't trouble top opposition. As any self respecting alickadoo will tell you, 'pace is to rugby as length is to golf'. I think we need new talent, and looking at the last decade impact of Bundee, Lowe, Gibson-Park, Hansen etc, at least we know now where to find talent for the Irish side." 'As any self respecting alickadoo will tell you, 'pace is to rugby as length is to golf''. No they wouldn't. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8434 - 07/02/2026 18:19:25 2655387 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Might be for 4th and 5th looking at Scotland today." A grand fight between Ireland and Italy for the big spoon. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2562 - 07/02/2026 18:53:46 2655391 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "'As any self respecting alickadoo will tell you, 'pace is to rugby as length is to golf''. No they wouldn't." Ah they would yeah, George Hook certainly said it now and again. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4548 - 07/02/2026 19:29:21 2655394 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Even the NFL have dropped that kneeling nonsense. Think FAI were among last to cop on to that." They've dropped Croke Park from the away rota in 2026 too. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4548 - 07/02/2026 19:32:26 2655395 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "A grand fight between Ireland and Italy for the big spoon." The Nation holds its breath. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3998 - 07/02/2026 20:21:14 2655407 Link
Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Ah they would yeah, George Hook certainly said it now and again." Because rugby and golf are so similar...... GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8434 - 07/02/2026 20:27:53 2655411 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "A grand fight between Ireland and Italy for the big spoon." I don't think so. I think Ireland will beat Wales, Scotland, and Italy. I can't see them beating England though. SouthGalway (Galway) - Posts: 197 - 07/02/2026 21:28:08 2655421 Link
as usual posts about rugby turn to nonsense about things nothing to do with the actual sport. how pathetic KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3917 - 07/02/2026 21:33:04 2655423 Link
Replying To KillingFields: "as usual posts about rugby turn to nonsense about things nothing to do with the actual sport. how pathetic" Do you know what's even more pathetic? Getting exercised about the posts in a 'Non GAA' thread where literally ANY topic can be discussed, good, bad or indifferent. Post up a Rugby thread where you can discuss rugby to your hearts content, if it annoys you that much. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1772 - 07/02/2026 21:57:53 2655426 Link
Replying To SouthGalway: "I don't think so. I think Ireland will beat Wales, Scotland, and Italy. I can't see them beating England though." If they beat Italy they probably get RTÉ sports team of year :-) Unless the hockey team or showjumpers come 5th in something... BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3998 - 07/02/2026 23:32:05 2655449 Link

Replying To Square_B: "You support one team, but sometimes you support one or the other. You have to be related to Tom Smith." Another example of you completely missing the point being made. Maith an brachial. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3358 - 08/02/2026 11:22:49 2655470 Link
Isn't it very noticeable with all that is going on that the Anti GAA Agenda thread has become redundant, was there ever a need for one, a bit of paranoia perhaps, maybe not, perhaps not enough thought went into it, etc., etc., etc., however the thread ran actively for over two years if not three, however like the thread further comments should be paused. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3358 - 08/02/2026 13:09:28 2655486 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "If they beat Italy they probably get RTÉ sports team of year :-) Unless the hockey team or showjumpers come 5th in something..." I'd be happy if they show improvement each game. One of the Camogie teams will get team of the year I'd say. SouthGalway (Galway) - Posts: 197 - 08/02/2026 13:09:29 2655487 Link

Replying To KillingFields: "Once again you.miss the point as for sugfesting set up another thread. What would be point of that?" Refute the posts if it exercises you that much. If you want to have nice conversations where everyone agrees with each other maybe you should join an echo chamber somewhere. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1772 - 08/02/2026 14:10:32 2655496 Link

More rubbish, Tom Smith would be proud of you. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1772 - 08/02/2026 14:11:12 2655497 Link
