Somebody make it stop....Could we not have a Enniscorthy GAA thread and keep this thread for everyday stuff?
Well, pardon me for one, for posting about Enniscorthy-related items of interest to at least some people here, in a thread that's titled simply "Enniscorthy".
I've no more to say about GAA matters anyway, unless somebody else raises a new point. So as far as I'm concerned, this thread can go back to being about broken windows, grumbles about what the council has done or hasn't done, and comments on photos taken during rambles around town.
I promise I won't ask for new threads to be started on them. If I don't happen to be overly interested in such things myself, I'll just gloss over them and wait for something else to be posted that does interest me. Just as you could have done yourselves instead of complaining about a few people talking about a few GAA matters for a few days.
It was said a few posts up that the GAA is very parochial, and that's true in one sense of the word. Also seems the case that some people here are very parochial in the other sense.

Personally I enjoyed the GAA discussion. Unimpressed with the behaviour of the pseudo mods.0 -

Assuming I'm the pseudo mod - didn't mean to be - but surely one of you could start a thread for all the GAA stuff. I know nothing about the GAA and don't want to. 0

By that logic, why don't you start a separate thread for your photos?
"Enniscorthy" is the thread title... the town's sporting history is relevant and significant, people have the right to discuss it.0 -

Well, things have certainly kicked off in the couple of hours since I was last on Boards.
For what it's worth, personally I welcomed a bit of GAA talk here. Firstly, because things had been relatively quiet in the thread recently, and secondly because due to the latest shutdown, there's not much discussion at the moment on the GAA forum (a different site) which I also frequent.
I know the GAA is not everybody's cup of tea but I'd have thought those people would have better tolerated a bit of a temporary digression into such things. After all, it's a large part of the social history of the town for the past 125 years or more, and a topic of great interest to a great many people in the town and district, so there seemed no harm in having a short discussion on it here.
Also for what it's worth, I'm another who considers Del.Monte to be a good contributor around here - he has an interesting take on things, even if very (extremely?) rigid in his viewpoint on many matters.
But having said that, I'm amused too by the notion that any regular poster on any thread on the whole of Boards.ie would think that the thread would "disappear up its own arse" if that poster stopped contributing.
Anyway, it's his own choice whether he wants to post here again or not. Just as the rest of us have the choice of whether to post or not to post too.
Don't know about anyone else, but I'll be back here sometime tomorrow.

Bit more GAA chat and we might be lucky enough to get CoBo55 to p1ss off too.
LOL.. I'm joking
On a brighter note - down Del Monte's river side walk, they've killed off all the crappy weeds and planted what might be grass but is hopefully wild flowers. Two timber bee houses also erected... hope they last.0 -

Wexford football clubs are generally p1ss poor outside of the county.
Shels in the hurling were really impressive, I'd have liked to have seen them in Leinster.0 -

Starlights are actually the last Wexford club to win a match in the Leinster Championship....all the way back in 2004.
P1ss poor indeed.
And THAT'S my final word on GAA stuff. For tonight anyway.
