    Hi Pal

    Welcome to The GAA board, Please provide a link to the article or scan it in. Its not fair to lable the GAA Irelands shame without your reasoning ( or the reasoning of the journalist)

    As uber said "bigots everywhere" no less shameful than IRFU, FAI, Irish government, Boards.ie Mods and Admins:eek: or Uberwolf

    Thanks

    2 trolls in 2 days... what unexpected fun.

    The article was by Peter Cunningham.

    The man spoke up and told it truthfully. Not like the
    apologist Humphries.

    I do not have a scanner.

    Go down to Abbey Street and get a copy if you really want.
    It's public now anyway. Good on him.

    attention Moderator. Why is the poster called Allgood allowed be abusive towards me ?

    This is unacceptable. I have not insulted anybody.

    I simply agree with the article about Ireland's Shame. It is correct in my opinion and I think good that it was published.

    This should not mean that one ought be subjected to name calling.

    attention Pal---

    The user was warned and the insult directed at you has been edited out of his post. Dont be getting all high and mighty here. You posted a comment that could be interperated in many different ways. You still havent posted a linlk or the text of that article.

    We will handle the Moderating. maybe you can handle backing up your origional comments

    Thanks

    Alan

    It may be public but posting up your view there with no reference to the article (unless of course they already happen to have a copy of Saturday's paper or live near Abbey St.) means that noone else can make any comment on it. So in my eyes it's only truthful in your eyes and that's all.

    80? more like 13.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,598 ✭✭✭Yavvy


    thats got nothing to do with this thread ambasite...

    Infact if the article isnt produced soon. its away to the recycle bin with this I think..its just a troll fest as it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,115 ✭✭✭Pal


    boo hoo

    I am really supposed to believe that nobody knows anything about the article ( despite the fact that all press criticism of the GAA is pored over) and now the issue is my failure to post a link.

    Subtle. Shoot the messenger.

    thread locked.

    This is going no where.

    Pal, please remember for future postings about links or proof or whatever.

    ALLGOOD, your on Kaimera's radar now. a banning is in the air if you dont cop on ...IMO

    Thanks

    Alan.
