He will definitely end up in politics. Dont be surprised if he ends up in the ARAS eventually..... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3946 - 22/07/2024 10:45:10 2560519 Link 0 |
Because what he said is 100% right. If he stated saying right wing racist stuff that'd be wrong. I don't see any problem whatsoever with people standing up to racism.

"For those people who are our diaspora, who had left this country because of war and famine, and for ancestors who had to leave it, we are thinking of you as you watch it. You are in Croke Park today, if not in body than in spirit, and we thank the countries who took you in and allowed you to make a new name for yourselves with our native games." eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 260 - 22/07/2024 11:03:59 2560528 Link 0 |

The GAA is steeped in politics, from it's very foundation. You're welcome to ignore that if you want but to pretend otherwise is just ridiculous It was an excellent speech, Burns is a great representation of all that is great about the GAA CCFabu (Donegal) - Posts: 127 - 22/07/2024 11:19:25 2560535 Link 2 |
Sport is supposed to be all inclusive. People should stop politicising his speech would be more the point. The speech was excellent, but he was wrong about something in it. Tony Kelly doesn't have a Munster Senior Hurling medal, unless he bought or was given one. Apart from that the speech was spot on.

Exactly. In a week where there was numerous attacks by racist mobs in the city something akin to the early days of the brownshirts, it was a very important point to make.

Yes ever since he got some praise after his u20 hurling speech he seems to believe in every speech he needs to make a point about something. He should let the players have the limelight and stop trying to steal it for his own benefit

Ah go off and join up with your whinger friend Walter Mitty from Cavan. Jarlath's contribution was outstanding. A wonderful spokesman for our great Association. A true and true GAA man. I have also watched him make tea and clean up after a Scór Competition in his home area Silverbridge. Would be nice to see our enjoyable football season end with him presenting the Sam Maguire Cup to the Armagh captain next Sunday as his son looks on. However if it is the Galway captain who receives it,I can assure you it will be handed over with same class and congratulatory words that are the mark of Jarlath Burns.

A great man a a very classy speech yesterday rightky taking aim at those brain donors in this country who don't seem to know our own past of immagration. I'd say they were all too busy working yesterday to have seen the game though. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 980 - 22/07/2024 19:12:37 2560752 Link 0 |
