    As I sit here in my house in Cork, its reaching fever pitch as the all ireland final is minutes away.
    I couldnt care less though, never not once have I liked GAA, I despise the organisation and have never taken to the people involved.

    Im sure I'm not the only one?

    Nah, I say you are!
    It takes effort to despise anything.

    Why the hate? You're a self loathing paddy and hate all things that arent foreign?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark

    I think it's brilliant, but then again I've grown out of the "I hate everything Irish" stage!

    Yes and rugby too.

    I don't hate it, I'm just not into it. I have the highest respect for GAA players though, because they work regular jobs midweek then at weekends they play their hearts out. I mean they give it absolutely everything they have to give and they're willing to play on even if they're bleeding from the eyes after a punch to the face... And for no pay.

    Compare them to premier league soccer players that get paid stupid amounts of money to saunter around a pitch and fall to the deck and cry as soon as they get a tap on the leg.

    F*ck, actually I love GAA!

    tl;dr - soccer players = pussies. GAA players = men.

    Despise? Grow up

    Can't stand anything GAA. I'm in Clare and the whole county is destroyed with Blue and Yellow tat. I'm not watching the match, hope the fcukers lose:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    Why does it seem like there's a final on every week? :confused:

    Sincere apologies for not liking the same things you do, must be my immaturity to blame?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,401 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    No I love it

    You don't know the craic you're missing.

    HON THE REBELS!!

    Not at all, Im a proud Irishman and even prouder Cork man just cant stand GAA. I love sport football, tennis, rugby anything really.

    I played GAA as a kid and that is probably where my strongest feelings against it come from. You were never given a chance in it unlike rugby where the focus of coaching was on the weaker players to make them better.
    The knobhead son of some former All Ireland winner was always picked regardless of how bad it he was.

    Out of blind curiosity I had a look at the OP's 'find more posts by' link and found more than half his posts are in the soccer forum.

    That would explain it


  • Posts: 10,091 ✭✭✭✭ Regina Handsome Manganese


    Don't hate it just dont particularly like it.

    I don't mind the sports themselves i just find the gaa very arrogant and cliquee. Hate however is very very strong don't see a reason why you would hate it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,267 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Not despise, but I'd say I've no interest in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Anyone who doesn't like it is obviously still sore from not being picked as a young wan.

    hit the nail on the head.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    I wouldn't say I "hate" it, but I strongly dislike it. I dislike football and rugby too, so it's nothing to do with disliking all things Irish.

    I see roy keane in the crowd

    If he was on the squad he would leave blaming the bad conditions

    Whanker

    Yep I love soccer a hell of a lot more than gaa. you caught me there, oh no:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,789 ✭✭✭tvnutz


    Not a big gaa fan,football in particular, but hurling is actually brilliant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    I just hate the way it takes precedent over everything.

    Watching something on the TV, somebody comes in - "Turn on the match there."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,123 ✭✭✭KwackerJack


    I don't despise it but I hate the way every achievement a man has is related TO GAA

    Oh he was a wonderful man, played great GAA.
    Oh ya wanna join the Garda, better be a good GAA man!
    He robbed an bank and beat a man to death but jasus he's a great GAA player!

    Any one that dies is really only on the news if they played GAA. The could have done wonders for medical science or for a good cause but if they didn't play GAA you wont hear about him :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I'd rather watch a Sebastian Vettel "lead from the front race" than Gaelic football or hurling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Ice Storm


    It's the worst part of Reeling in the Years imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,430 ✭✭✭Ilik Urgee


    I wouldn't say I hate the GAA, just dislike the politics and cliques in it. Irishness at it's worst. As for the game itself, no interest as such, just keep abreast to stay social is all. It's Cork and Clare yeah?

    GAA never bothered me until I got involved running a junior soccer team and found out what a bunch of biggoted gombeen fenian corrupt fcukers they are.

    They demand every euro of Govt. funding and try to stop (corruptly) other sports from getting a cent.

    Bogball supporting council workers wont cut the grass on soccer pitches but bogball pitches are like snooker tables.

    I dont despise the game just the people who run it and play it.
