    Your a mess :pac:



    Am I doing this right?

    No, you have to bring the mammy or the sister into it for it to be proper sledging, anything else is just banter.

    Hold on a second....yous got in a whah over not naming the player who said X to anthony daly and asked twice to be named?

    Yous said this to response to pen Turner...

    [Q)Unless you name names you could be just making it up. Big claims require big evidence. Don't be shy now.[/Q]


    This in response aswell:
    [Q]But if it's true and has been referenced in a book already (which presumably was not the subject of a libel case) then why not name the player?

    It's simple really - name the player or leave it out. It's just unfair on every other player on the team [/Q]




    Your trying to draw people out to name players and condemn same thing a few post later???..

    If you can't see the hypocrisy in your post then there's no point talking to you, so as I've said, I'll leave you at it.

    I remember a game from my youth it was a club game I think u16 maybe u14.

    It was a Derby game, too teams same parish, all players in same secondary school.

    A player on our team, one of our best players had lost his mam to cancer pretty recently, after about ten minutes he left pitch in tears and visibly shaken.

    Game went on and at half time word got round that his marker had been constantly sledging him about his mam.

    We were pissed beyond belief, and second half started it descended into a brawl Almost immediately.

    It got broken up game continues for a few minutes until the sledger (we'll call him scum) gets taken out hard by one of his own team who was a cousin of the fella who lost his mam.

    Scum is lying there clearly hurt, and opposite team is now fighting themselves, obviously story comes out and another of there team goes over and boots scum while he was on ground.

    Chaos ensues game cancelled.

    Long term neither the fella who was sledged or the sledger played GAA again and a nice few more lads lost something towards the game as well.

    A lot of friendships in the school fell apart over it as well.

    That's the worst one I've ever seen.

    One pf the better slags I heard on a pitch was a guy who was pretty overweight was throwing his weight about the place. Guy was fair ****ing big and decided he couldnt compete fair so was going very physical with anyone he could. He was wearing the jersey number 11 which, because of his enormity, was very very stretched. After another broohaha one of the lads says "would you ever ****ing ease up brackets?" "What you mean, who you calling brackets?" "You, ya fat c*nt. Youre so ****ing fat the number on your back looks like brackets"!!!

    Exactly. In my innocence I assumed that by drawing someone out to defame a player it would attract the attentions of a moderator and prevent what some other hero actually naming a name he cannot possibly be able to stand over. It didn't work unfortunately.

    Oh yes it did! :D

    Jaysus. Some of the stuff being mentioned on here is downright evil. Worst I ever did was where the opposition goalie had an unusual name so I kept on shouting it out in a mocking way. Felt stupid after the game so I went up and apologised.

    Can't imagine a mindset where you deliberately plan to say deeply offensive and personal stuff.

    Bullsh1t.

    Do you see that little button on the left side of every post?
    That's how you draw the attention of a Mod.
    Not by wallpapering nine pages of a thread with your own posts.

    Many moons ago we were playing an U21 game. The crowd on the sideline were very close to the field with no barrier between them and the pitch. (Tulla GAA pitch Co Clare if anyone is interested). Tensions were rising and the crowd were getting more vocal. As a sideline was been taken, there was this engagement between a few people.

    Player (taking sideline): Ref! Ref!!! he's too close (indicating an opposition player in front of him)
    Ref: What do you want me to do
    Player: Tell him to f*ck Off
    Woman on sideline (screaming): Book him!, book him!! Book him!!!
    Player: And tell him take that b*tch with him
    Rest of crowd: Burst out laughing

    Reserve match about 10/11 years ago. Young lad on our team was having a great game. He had bad acne and one of their players called him pizza face. Myself and my very good friend heard it and gave each other the nod. I won’t say exactly what happened the next time the sledger got the ball but it would fair to say he left him alone after.

    A current IC player came up to Dublin to college and was playing a challenge match against Erins Isle Senior team. The college fresher team were in the final in a weeks time. A balding player from Isles sold him a dummy and he responed with "Try that again grandad".

    Now down the country you might get a warning or even a chuckle, but "Grandad" welcomed Mr. Intercounty to Dublin with a box on the nose. We thought he had broken his nose, but he was able to play in the final the week after.

    Kept his mouth shut and had a great game.

    Hasn't learned his lesson though considering the amounts of punches he has taken since then.

    I was a minor in 2006. Had an indie rock haircut and wore white boots on the field.

    A friend of mine had the same hairstyle but not the boots.


    The two of us were walking from the changing rooms to the bus when an inbred looking creature approched us and said ' Why don't you two queers get out of here before Jim throws you out like a bag of sausages'

    Sticking to thread title, the worst I received was being called a fat c**t in a league game. Which I was! I'm lighter now than I was when I was playing. So, next ball I let yer man go for it and caught him hard and unfair as he landed. He was carted off injured, his two brothers started mouthing at me but when offered the chance to follow up the mouthing didn't take me up on it!
    I wouldn't mind only I'm a quiet lad!
    I actually know the three lads reasonably well and would chat away to any of them when our paths cross.
    The worst I've heard of was that Liam Hayes story.

    Edit - this is very innocent, but funny and sort of in keeping with the thread nonetheless - edit over!

    I live close to a load of pitches, I was cycling to the beach with my 3 year old and...

    Player roared "PASS THE F***ING BALL"

    My kid say's "DAD, he said F**king!!!" in a loud whispered awe and amazement voice.

    Footballer (with supersonic hearing) heard him and said "I DID NOT, I said PASS THE FOOTING BALL"

    Even the ref was roaring laughing.

    Young fella's six now and listens intently to matches when we're passing by. We'd never watch on TV, but we'd often stop and watch matches in the park now.
