Replying To Square_B: "Why are you so afraid of other sports? You'd sware the GAA was providing their facilities for free." Casement park can't get built but the rugby ground in Belfast did. Kew (Galway) - Posts: 118 - 19/01/2025 21:36:29 2586449 Link
Replying To Kew: "They have penalties which is turning down replay money. The problem is leinster is not a gaa province anymore so croke park has been taken over by rugby fans. Meath don't have hurling or football so most probably sit at home watching rugby as they don't have any teams to follow outside some ladies games" What a day to post that , both leinster club champions did alright this afternoon. ctowers (Dublin) - Posts: 103 - 19/01/2025 21:46:56 2586452 Link
Replying To ctowers: "What a day to post that , both leinster club champions did alright this afternoon." In fairness Ctowers that AKA is only good for whinging and best ignored. They're as clueless about GAA sports as they are about other sports. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7706 - 19/01/2025 21:56:46 2586456 Link
Replying To Kew: "Casement park can't get built but the rugby ground in Belfast did." So what? Maybe if the GAA rent out Croke Park a few more times it might get built quicker.... And prey tell how much did Ravenhill cost vs what is being proposed for Casement Park? Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1095 - 19/01/2025 21:57:39 2586457 Link

Replying To ctowers: "What a day to post that , both leinster club champions did alright this afternoon." I'd imagine a slight case of paranoia creeping in here from an anti other sports aficionado. We are living in changing times and have to move with them - like it or not. It's all about finance now. Rugby is the new sexy big thing on tv. In the 80/90s it was Big Jack and soccer. The GAA survived that and will survive this latest. The GAA is embedded in the hearts and souls of our people, but in order to survive and prosper it needs money, and if other codes are prepared to pay good money to use GAA facilities, let them and plough the profits back into our games. I think that, as you pointed out, both club finals were won by Leinster - Dublin even - teams is proof that our games can compete with whatever the sporting world throws at them.

Replying To Square_B: "Says the person getting your knickers in a twist about a business arrangement with Leinster Rugby. Grow up." A business arrangement with your greatest rivals never works out. You can't see the wood for the trees. I'm well grown up. You're the one who seems to be sniping. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 19/01/2025 22:36:08 2586471 Link

A game where the ball is continually passed backwards will fit right into Croke Park… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3289 - 20/01/2025 10:05:44 2586515 Link
