Anyway, to me it just seems like an incomplete stadium, three good sides and one "not so good

No the Gaa have got it spot on ..people can stand and people can sit...sunlight can get at the pitch unlike Wembley or the Millenium.

People would not p1ss in your garden if their were sufficient temporary privvies provided - a la Manchester.

As for you pal go back to reading your Star or your Sun and worshipping some English Premiership team full of overpaid cheating ****.

Keep your bile away from The GAA and it's followers.

An interesting fact is that this is a GAA problem - no such issue with rugby, soccer or concert fans.

You are not. I reckon he's a secret culchie wannabe... he probably dreams of pissing on garden gnomes... :rolleyes:

Let's hope the GAA fans never the 'plastic bag syndrome'.

That is heading up a laneway and backing out a knotty coil into a Supermarket bag and hanging it on the wing mirrors of some person's car.

This is common practice at UK football games especially the lower divisions.

Some the even piss in on top and cut a little nick in the corner as the 'matter' streels down the bodywork.


Terrible behaviour.

HA!! How? By giving out about scumbag culchies all day on boards?

Cavehill Red

Frankly, it's none of your business.
And I've every right to give out about scumbags coming into my place of residence and trashing my mate's car, ringing my doorbell at all hours, smacking each other outside the house, and puking and p!ssing in the gardens.
I've little doubt you'd be giving out too if it happened outside your door.
I'm frankly stunned that there are so many people here prepared to defend what they perceive as their 'right' to go up to Croker, get hammered out of their minds on alcohol and trash my area.
I shouldn't be surprised, given that it happens every single time there is a match on. But that people are actually prepared to seek to defend that behaviour is quite alarming.

I would never defend mindless scum who vandalise property, no matter where, when or under any type of circumstance. In fact I HATE vandalism, and have experienced the effects of it first hand.

I just find it ridiculous that you would refer to anyone that lives further west than Lucan as a culchie, and in my mind it really invalidates your original point to my culchie brain, because I lost all respect for your views once you started spouting that rubbish.

I wasn't referring specifically to you. But on this thread we've had people proudly boasting how they sh!t in gardens in my neighbourhood, people saying my mate 'deserved' to have his car trashed simply for parking by his house, people saying everyone in my area should expect and put up with vandalism and anti-social behaviour because the stadium was there first (NB it didn't predate the housing) or because they 'should have known' to expect such behaviour because they live near the stadium.

Where you used the word FACT describing the people that done this as culchies at their worst. Complete BS in fairness.

That post explains itself. And my position has been consistent and clear from the start. Every time there is a big GAA game involving two counties from down the country (though less so when it involves those from the extremities of the island) my neighbourhood gets trashed and I'm sick to death of it.
This time, they've destroyed my mate's one remaining asset, and he's unemployed on the breadline struggling to keep his family above water.
I'm fully aware that not ALL GAA fans are responsible for this behaviour. All this Dubs V Culchies BS is irrelevant in my eyes, a distraction introduced by other posters on this thread.
Those who ARE responsible for this behaviour I'm prepared to refer to by all sorts of terminology, much of it unprintable. Calling them 'culchies' in the same way Chris Rock refers to n!ggers, ie people who let their community down with their behaviour, thereby reinforcing stereotypes, is probably one of the more polite terms I'd use.

You presumably knew when you bought/rented that your house was next to the biggest sports stadiums in Dublin? I'd expect a bit of anti-social behaviour but you want to pin the blame on a few specific counties? Ludicrous.

If you're sick to death of it, then MOVE!!

Its residential first, a place for sport second. Same as Lansdowne road, same as the RDS, same as Thomond Park. Its his backyard, not a playground for drunk tossers to act the bollocks. "A bit of antisocial behaviour" is not having rocks smashed through a car window.

If you try to give the line that anyone from outside Dublin is a culchie then surely everyone in Dublin is one according to people from any medium sized english city?

Amen brother.

Once you've lived longterm in an actual metropolis you realize how meaningless such names are in Ireland.
I had the honor of both growing up in various parts of 'the sticks' until I was 16 and then spending the next 7 years in Dublin.
I've been called every name Irish people have for Irish people from somewhere else, and I'm pretty much immune.

Sure we're all a pack of culchie muck-savages as far as I can see it :P


EDIT: Have to say though, I can totally understand OP's frustration.
People are going on about how can he know if he didn't see it.....I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt.
Would he just come on here to blame "cluchies" for this totally unprovoked?
Doesn't seem like that sort to me.
He lives in the area so I can assume he knows more about the situation than most of us, plus the way it only happens on GAA nights.. seems like the basic logical reasoning.

It's no secret that Dublin has it's scum, OP isn't denying that.
Looks to me like other people turned it into something it isn't.

They're not trouble-free and I never said they were.
I said there is LESS trouble when fans from the extremities of the island are up in town, which I presume is because most of them go home early because they've further to go.
It's still noisy, still messy, there are still pools of vomit and p!ss all over the place, just less so.
They're as scummy as every other pack of GAA fans who come into my area. They're just around less time, so they don't cause as much hassle, or as late into the night.

Why the fcuk should I have to move, or any of my neighbours either? So that you or your drunk thug pals can sh!te in gardens, dance on cars and act like animals?
Why should any of us have to move away from an area which we love, which we take care over, where people look out for each other, in easy reach of the city centre and workplaces and schools and hospitals and the amenities we need?
So you and your pals can have a free rein at vandalism and public defecation and roaring your heads off till all hours?
Why the fcuk should I have to move?
Why can't you and everyone else who comes into my area treat it with some fcuking respect, as the homes of people who tolerate your invasion of their neighbourhood on a far-too-regular basis with astonishing good grace?

Fulton Crown

A complete over reaction in my opinion.

Sure a few mindless oiks might have a quick p1ss where they shouldn't or in extreme circs take a sh1t in somebodys garden.

To listen to your bellyachin pal is to imagine the entire attendance in croke park is taking a dump in your garden and then p1ssing through your letter box.

Most GAA fans are decent family people and the only a very small minority carry on as you describe.

The facts are pal ,,like it or not ..you are living next to a super stadium.

Stadiums attract big crowds.

Crowds need to sh1t and p1ss and when there are no public facilities it seems reasonable to me that they use whatever is available in emergencies.

It seems to me the least you could do is leave out a few rolls of toilet paper on big match days.

Tell your slow friend that matches are normally on SUNDAY and park his banger away from the stadium..seems very simple to me.

Now quit makin a very big mountain out of a very small molehill...chill out and enjoy the unique apres match athmosphere.

WTF.

Why should going to watch a sporting event excuse, in any way, in any case, for any reason, vandalism of any kind?

mloc

It's actually such a typically stupid Irish "having the craic" attitude.

The Gardai should cite anyone guilty of public order offences, and the GAA should actively ban the attendance of those individuals from future matches and participation in GAA activities. The same goes for soccer and rugby.

It's BS to suggest "ah sure it's a big stadium, they are only a few people acting up". Horse shit. The fact it's a sporting event is utterly irrelevant. If you can't act responsibly when you're out in public, you shouldn't be out in public.

We have a terrible terrible attitude toward drinking, drunkeness and what constitiutes having a good time.

Bogsnorkler

I for one think it's marvelous how anyone who goes to a GAA match and have a few pints is categorized as scum of the earth.

Having been to Croke park every year since god knows when, i haven't seen this.

Maybe it is a good idea to play more championship matches down the country. Twould be less of a drive for the likes of myself more likely, and would boost the local economy in badly needed rural areas.
