Anyone else hate GAA?

Elessar

So this bloody dublin-kerry match is on later and by jaysus it's everywhere. Billboards, TV ads, radio, internet ads. Jesus Christ.

I can't stand the bloody sport (any GAA sport for that matter). I can't even pinpoint what it is about GAA I hate, I just loath it. It's like a culchie infestation on a national level. I firmly believe it's so popular down the country because there is literally F*** all else to do down there. I kind of feel sorry for those who play it. :pac: Now I have to go into work and hear talk all day about it!

However it seems I'm in a minority in my GAA hatred. Lots of dubs, unfathomably, seem to love it. Surely there are some boardsies who share my hate?!

You are a stuck up cnut, and im a dub!
If you dont like it, dont watch it.

mod: banned.

I was going to agree with you until I realised your post was just an excuse to bash country people.

I'll say it again. GAA sports are popular in Dublin and other cities. Soccer and Rugby are popular in many areas of the countryside. Gaelic Football and Hurling are not for "culchies" and Dublin is one of the most successful counties in the history of the organisation.

So pull your head out of your arse.

Its not that I hate it, I just couldn't care less about it, and the sooner this match is over the better tbh. I cant stand these Dubs that are supporters of GAA only because they're in the final.

I don't hate GAA but I don't watch it.


I think you need to re-examine yourself because of the fact that you hate something that has no effect on you.

"Culchie infestation on a national level" ?

You go realise that it is played in all of the cities.

And what is a "national level" infestation, anyway ? People on Dublin's O'Connell St ? It being on TV this afternoon ?

At least there's merit and talent to it, unlike the other foreign national infestations of Z-factor and Big Bother....

Just change over to one of the British channels and you should manage to avoid it.

Theres nothing wrong with a good excuse for a pissup.

I think it's over-rated but I wouldn't say I hate it. I always find it coincidental that most of the people who think Gaelic football is the most skillul and beautidul sport there is just happened to born in Ireland.

Hurling, though, is a different matter. Now that is a sport.

Absolutely loathe it. You wonder how a country can go so badly wrong, then you watch "up for the match" and it all makes sense. The Gah, the catholic church and Fianna Fail, the holy trinity of vermin. Should be made illegal.

I couldn't really be arsed about todays game tbh, but I was asked by a Kerry man in work last night if I was looking forward to it.

I replied "to be honest I couldn't be arsed, but if Dublin win's it'll make a lot of miserable people happy for a day", and he agreed.

For me Kerry winning all the time gets a bit boring, and if a Dublin win takes people's minds (people everywhere) off the doom & gloom for just a few days then I'm all for it.

Go on the boy's in blue

If you don't like GAA that's fine
But your thread is not about GAA and more to do with bashing us bumpkins "down the country".

I don't watch rugby but I don't start threads bashing all their fans

Pure arrogance, they don't want your sympathy.

Well OP, X factor is starting soon so you can chat about that in work, it might be more your thing

I'm a "culchie" OP. I don't particularly like either of the sports or the GAA, just indifferent to it, if mayo are doing well I'll keep an eye on the games but if there's something better on the other channel then I'll watch that instead.

I live in Kilkenny so how do you think I feel? Every year I so desperately hope Kilkenny lose so everyone will shut up about it.
I hate GAA, especially hurling.

El Weirdo

Not a fan of the games per se. But I do enjoy getting baked and sitting in awe at a game of hurling.

Not at all....it just means I wont break into your car when you are up in Croke Park.Im from Dublin but I'm in Kerry today breaking into houses.
If Dublin win and I get a god haul ..its a win win situation..:)

Sergeant

If you don't like the games then don't watch or participate in them.
And I hate this comparison with FF and the CC. Why does an organisation that is largely ran by volunteers; encourages thousands of young people to exercise, make friends, and feel a sense of community, inspire such animosity?

themick

i dont hate gaa but wont be watchin either because i perfer to watch man u vs chelsea match...and when i say this to people ,i get the whole your not a real dub,you watching foreign sports,etc.......no its just that i find 'soccer' more entertaing.....

its same with the rugby,wont be watching it either,just dont find it entertaing and am not watching something just because all the other bandwagon supporters are watching it(even though they never watch rugby at any other time)

Make sure and bring your dirty needles away with you. Bad enough that your breaking into houses but some poor child could pick up one of your aids infested spikes;)

Not a fan of the sport at all. Too much is about physicality and not enough about skill, speed or tactics. Anytime I watch a game it seems to be a constant loop of one team kicking the ball long so two players can attempt the catch it. If the forward does he can have a shot. If a defender does he'll kick it long back the other way.

Scoring as well is way too easy. Goals should count for more than 3 points. A point in GAA is possibly the easiest score to get in any sport with the exception of basketball. Need more goals.

Successful troll thread shut down.
