    I heard about this from my Niece. Fair play to the manager for taking the team off the pitch and bringing attention to the issue. The GAA should come down hard on racism.

    Fair Play to the young fella for standing up to it as well,a lot goes unreported I'd imagine.

    > Player racially abused was basically the star performer of the team ( clann na ngael )
    > The opposition saw that he was a major threat as he had been scoring all of the teams points and dominating the game
    > Player racially abused was annoyed and furiously hurt in the match by the opposing team and had enough of his markers 'BS'.
    > Victim of racism had enough and got sent off
    > Team pulled away

    It's a disgrace, LuckyDude.

    Team is losing
    Star player gets sent off
    Player says it is "racism"
    Coach sees chance to get a replay and pulls team from game.

    Not saying this is true, but it is exactly what the other team will be claiming.

    I think we'll have to wait to see if there's any truth to the allegation. The team were losing before they walked off.

    Would they have walked if they were up by 6 points ? Probably not .....

    They were losing and the best player got sent off

    This better not be a ploy to get a replay or the next time a claim will just be seen as tactics

    The GAA will excuse their way out of this, or more than likely say nothing, as we all know nothing happened.
    But we all know what happened.

    Why do you make that out?

    They have banned players for racism before:
    http://www.joe.ie/gaa/wexford-gaa-hand-out-bans-to-players-for-racism-towards-county-star/37326

    They obviously should do more as such actions cannot go unpunished, but that is often the case for all sporting organisations unless it is a high profile case.

    Doubt the young fella would make a false allegation in fairness.They've also made a complaint which suggests there is something to it.


    Curiously there is a lot of cynicism in this case as opposed to the normal hanging brigade?

    The GAA is rife with racism just like many sectors of Irish society. How many black Gardaí do you see for example?

    Ireland comes out quite favourably in terms of tolerance and inclusion in comparison to other nations....3rd in the world in fact!

    http://www.socialprogressimperative.org/en/data/spi/components/com11#data_table/countries/com11/

    So yeah, we could do better but we're by no means 'rife with racism'.

    The ratio of black people to white people overwhelmingly has whites as the majority. By the law of averages most most Gardaí are obviously going to be white.

    Thats just rubbish and you know it and all you want is to have a go at the gaa.Having worked away myself i find ireland a very tolerant country compared to others. We of course have racism here but nowhere on the scale of being rife you are on about.

    How is that even a comparison, how many white irish cops do you see in Uganda or Nigeria,
    (not the same I know, but if we're going to be throwing out random statements such as yours, I'd like to get in on the act too)

    We seem to be fairly tolerant in welcoming other nationalities to our shores, sure you'll have the odd idiot who will take exception, but they're very much in the minority

    indeed, i believe we are one of the most open and tolerant countries in the world.

    we do unfortunately have a portion of our population that are scum and occasionally they will attack people from other backgrounds. these people are not racists, they are just ignorent f*cks who dont really care where a person is from, they just use it as another reason to insult somebody.

    in ireland i believe we are more prejudice towards our "own" than anybody else.

    it's only fair to question it.
    We can't just rush in gung ho at any allegation.
    It need to be investigated and part of that it to question the (if any) motive of the compliant

    What a stupid comment. How many do you want?

    http://www.integration.ie/website/omi/omiwebv6.nsf/page/managingdiversity-policeinitiatives-en

    quite a diverse force we have . Even better when you count the reserve.
    Plenty of africans represented there

    Non-Irish national members of the Force

    The recruitment of full-time Gardaí is governed by the Garda Síochána (Admissions and Appointments) Regulations 1988. In 2005, the regulations were amended to facilitate greater diversity in the membership of the Garda Síochána. Recruitment of foreign nationals was made easier by modifying the requirement to have Leaving Certificate qualifications in both English and Irish. Recruits now only require the equivalent of a Leaving Certificate qualification in either language. In addition to EU, EEA and Swiss nationals, recruitment is also now open to non-European nationals who have resided in Ireland for five years. The number of non-Irish national full-time trainees and full-time attested members of the Force are as follows:

    South Africa 1
    USA 6
    Canada 1
    China 20
    Denmark 1
    Holland 1
    Poland 9
    Romania 2
    Lithuania 1
    Bosnia 1
    Germany 2
    TOTAL (at 12/06/09) 46



    Garda (Police) Reserve

    [/B]There are currently (May 2014) 72 non-Irish nationals in the Garda (Police) Reserve. The total force is 1,294 . These members are from 25 countries - Albania, America, Belarus, Brazil, Cameroon, China, Croatia, France, India, Italy, Iranian, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Syrian, Ukraine and Zimbabwe.

    "I hear you're a racist now, Coach?"

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
