GAA-Do you play yoreself?

bigtimecharlie

Played ( well a sub after all the training) in every grade bar senior, more positions than the Karma Sutra!. In my last game in a junior match, I scored a wonderful point from out on the wing, great send off. College kept me away from then and I suipported both club and county regularly until the last few year's when the travelling became too much. Great times though.

Played county at U16 and Minor, played all levels at club but was forced out of GAA due to "parish rule" in Mayo. Have not played in 6 years

Thats crap. It isn't really a problem in Cavan to be honest. There are a number of players from my team that are from Monaghan and play here because we are so close to Monaghan (so thats what the smell is )

used to play minor then made jump to u-21 last summer but club was going to bits, no players week in week out and training was usually 4 teams training on the same night but had a total of about 30 players altogether(i trained very week regardless) who used to train. when i started to get dropped for people who turned up once in a blue moon i left!! now the club is in real trouble with players, finances and inside politics and organisation!!

went and played soccer then and the differance in the way things are done is unbelieveable. better organisation, better training(turnout and workout) and if you don't trian you don't play. oculd never see myself going back to GAA again not worth bustin my balls for!!!

yup very hard to get backinto it but I dont think the game has changed too much at the lower levels. tatics may have changed a little but its still ball... Honestly I think the key to being a decent mid level team is sharp passing, tracking your player and the ability to take most of your scoring chances.

Do the simple things and all that eh ?

Tis funny really, I've never player or even been all that interested in playing. I've moved to England a few months ago and now I'm after joining a team and am getting involved in pre-season training:D
