    Nobody said the GAA is a charity.

    Wells is a bigot but a lot of Northern GAA supporters would hardly like the idea of donating money to a soccer club or a cultural entity they didn't agree with so identification is hardly Kristallnacht part 2.

    Did the DUP also make a good point when they branded homosexuals "repugnant"?

    Your analogy would be better if we were a former colony of Catalonia and you combined loving Barcelona with the liberal deployment of insults like Catalan-lover as a form of insult to anybody that you didn't adjudge to be patriotic enough.

    I'd give money to sports clubs and these types of community organisations, long before I'd give a cent to some stupid save the world "let's go to South America and build houses for these poor stupid people for a few days then drink loads and tour for 4 weeks" charity drives. Bull.

    I always thought Tesco was for everyone. The last thing a Unionist wants to see is the GAA begging for money and money being pumped into Kevin Lynch's Hurling Club.

    If the unionists had a sport like intertwined with their religion like GAA with trophys named the Michael Stone cup and the like, would you be comfortable donating to it?

    You mean the protestent relgion? Yes indeed I would donate money to the protestent religion, im not sectarian so I dont see the problem.

    About the pride parade and those who participate, the largest cross community event in the north, come on the DUP have always been backward homophobic bigots and have made their views known on homosexuals plenty of times.

    No problems with sport clubs collecting. They shouldn't expect everybody to want to donate though and should be identified as such. I woul donate to other sports before GAA so Iwould like to know who the club is

    Going into shops and begging for money. It would be like me going into a shop and collecting money for a band in Tesco and donating it to the Michael Stone Flute band. (Fake band but still.).

    Keith are you collecting money by pretending to be a fake flute band?

    So, the GAA is offensive because one of the ways clubs fundraise is through bagpacking in supermarkets? That's ridiculous, even by DUP standards.

    It could offend some people because it has clubs named after people who had been in the PIRA.
