Re underage cards.....I have to confess that I was booked in a u12 match many moons ago for foul language and for fighting, we both got a yellow, seemingly it was almost unheard off back then and I was told of the shame I brought on the club:D

Ironically I’d be on very good terms with the other lad now, some 30 yrs later

To clarify neither of us were on steroids though hormones may have had a part to play!!!!

Lot of sh1te talk over the last few pages.

There isn't 3 good refs in the country never mind each county.

The same <Modsnip> that play all 2/3 codes cause the problems for each of the teams they play for

Your children could be doing a lot worse than playing GAA or any sport for that matter.

As for steroids Ped, that is few and far between.

As for the violence in some games in the GAA. Well it just means more. Most lads i know play soccer and rugby to keep fitness up for the winter, been the same for years locally they can take it or leave but playing for the parish is a whole other ball game!!

I was at an under 14 girls game earlier in the year. One of our team got a right slap on the face. The ref called the girl over and was giving out to her. This girl has previous form and was not long back from a ban. The girl started crying, her dad came in the pitch and tore strips off the ref. Apparently you can't send a player off in that age group only send a report to the county board. Who needs soaps with all the drama going on on the pitch...

Sometimes it’s communication.
I was sent off in an U14 match long time ago, we were being carved up by a very light footed forward. Coach pulled me aside and said “I don’t care what you do, don’t let him past you again”.
Well I didn’t and it wasn’t my skill at football that stopped him either. Strangely when I got to the sideline the coach asked me “what the fnuck were you thinking”, as a hot headed teenager I just couldn’t understand his contradictions. I’d followed his directions perfectly, the lad had to sit out the rest of the game too.

Well we wouldn't have had a national anabolic steroid awareness day yesterday if there wasn't a problem.

Bury your head if you want. That's your own business but don't go spouting nothing to see here move along swiftly then when there clearly is a problem.

Inter county players might be tested I'll grant you that but I doubt club players are and definitely not the secondary school leagues. And I'm talking football and rugby. All your growing and developing is done in your adolescent years and going by some of these rugby monsters in the school leagues it's clearly not bacon and cabbage is doing it. And don't say you know what all those supplement tablets are for. And don't forget the 'roids' have a long lasting effect both physically and mentally. It's only sports people are going to be taking these anyway and gym bunnies.

Nobody has said there wasn’t a usage of steroids. We wouldn’t have testing and an awareness day if there wasn’t usage in the sport(s). The sports we were talking about were underage. (U-10/11 etc.) You’re attempt to portray usage as a sole reason is nonsense.

Burying the head indeed. Your simple and inarticulate statement of “too much time in the gym powered by anabolic steroids” is in itself a head burying exercise. Just because a sport has evolved to include gym/strength training doesn’t automatically mean its due to steroid use/abuse which is precisely what you are trying to do. There are a multitude of reasons and affects this type of on/off pitch behaviour is having (with respect to GAA as its in the news recently).
Social media is a huge window to sports we never had. When would we ever have seen footage from an innocuous club game from opposite ends of the country? There’d nearly be a camera phone in the pocket of every spectator these days. Scraps like this are nothing new; it was simply put down to ‘bad blood’ or score settling between neighbouring towns/ rivals for years. Gaa county boards + higher ups could/should have stamped this out years ago but that’s another discussion. In every county there was always a team(s) known for their off the ball stuff etc. In whatsapp groups I receive numerous sports videos showing scraps/bad tackles/bad shots/best scores etc etc from a many sport of varying levels in different countries. It’s unprecedented the shear amount of footage taken and distributed.

But yesterday you were so assured that “But no this is Ireland it doesn't happen here and now people get insulted” high horse shyte. You were wrong but continued to distort the argument instead of just accept it. Could better/more testing be done? Possibly, yes, but I won’t let you purport the lazy arse shtick of “this is Ireland…” and “the land of saints and cover ups”…wrong again but you’re attempting to back track now.

Say my name wrote: »

“Some” its possible yes but not all as you’ve attempted to paint. The usage of gym work and strength and conditioning experts have changed the shape of some athletes undoubtedly. Training types and exercise drills have changed immensely; gone are the days of a team being sent out to do simple slogging laps of the pitch now it is circuit training etc.
You cannot ignore also changes to diet and fluid intake. Even from the 90’s some club ethos on these are unrecognisable. The ‘bacon and cabbage’ diet we were all used to has now been changed to low carb high protein small & often meals.
Steroid use isn’t an automatic answer either though. They aren’t an overnight magic bullet to muscles that people think.

Say my name wrote: »

At least this bit is a lot more articulate than the obtuse statement of “Have you seen how drugged up weightlifters treat their partners?” drivel. Steroid use/abuse have a long list of potential and documented side effects. They are not certified defined outcomes in every individual that takes them. But again, that’s not what was being discussed and you’re attempt to simply paint anyone involved in the fighting as “bulked up” steroid abusers is pathetically wrong.
Your smug “Simple kindergarten answer. ” retort was affirmation that you really don’t know what you are talking about.

What I find amazing is how clean hurling has become. It's almost a non-contact game now. I think the reason for it is a free given is as good as a free point now. Coaches are well tuned into this and so dirty play isn't encouraged.
Years ago nearly every ball was contested with a hard shoulder and ground hurling. That's all but gone now. Not convinced it's a good thing. Those shimozzles with 10 or so players all trying to poke the ball out, does my head in. In the old days this would have been a free for all.

Simply I've found its gone faster as fitness levels have gotten better. Why bother trying to wrestle for a 50/50 ball when I know I could put it 20/30 yards in front of the guy knowing he'll win the sprint every time and have a score got before the stereotypical great big lump of a full back has him.
Same with puck outs, no more launching it long and high as you can. If we'd attempted short puck outs years ago you'd have been castrated.
And like you said free taking, especially long range, accuracy these days is too risky to give away frees now.

If anyone can invent steroids that strenghten your core and make you agile and light footed instead of a block of muscle that an articulated truck would turn quicker than him/her. Id pay for that!! Most S&C trainers are now concentrating on beteen the "two Bs" your belly button and your balls. You get that area right and physical training using the weight of your own body and a few kettle bells will get you strong enough and powerful enough for GAA.

Did anyone see an article in The Sunday Business Post about a farmer whose land now falls within an area designated "zoned for residental"?
As he has no intention of building on it (having farmed it for 60 years) the County Council have decided it is a vacant site.
This means an annual levy of 3% on the market value, rising to 7% in 2019.

Tbe man is looking for a High Court review of the Councils tactics, describing it as "CPO by the back door".

I'd think there was several attempts before the tracked tractor was called in. Probably forgot about the chain. This is the reason h&s require a method statement noting how an operation should be noted. It would make people think about how it's done and who stops the operation.

Interesting, and thought provoking lecture by Professor Richard Lindzen - possibly the World's leading expert on climate, debunking the climate change is caused by CO2 racket. It will be interesting to see if it gets the same level of media coverage as the report from the UN intergovernmental stooges.

Opinions are like arse holes, everybody’s got one.

We have to look at what the vast majority of the scientific community are saying and that is that co2 emissions are effecting climate change in a negative way.

Even within reputable scientists there will be outliers who for whatever reason feel they are right, but that doesn’t make them right.

What about the record breaking arctic warmth this year and then the extremely wavy jet stream as a result.

* The jet stream is fast moving current of air that forms from the temperature difference in the tropics and the arctic.
If the air temperature difference is not as great (warmer arctic) the jet stream is slower and more wavy and the result is less mobile weather systems in the northern hemisphere.

Decisions on complex systems like the body or climate are often more based on probability rather than absolute fact. If a doctor told you that you a mole was probably cancerous would you just ignore it until you were sure it was ?Given the number of opinions on both sides, I'd say he is probably wrong but, even if he isn't, we need to do something about our dependence on fossil fuels, our pollution of the planet (and space) and a fairer global wealth distribution

The article is a bit Trump like, having a swipe at those he differs with, rather than what they say, as they on boards, "Attack the post, not the poster" He says that often the common people are often more correct than the experts. I think we are getting to the point where the majority of the "common" people feel that CO2 emissions are a problem. The issues with us all is that we want somebody else to bear the pain

I heard an interesting one today in a machinery dealership.
A farmer in front of me was chewing the fat and invariably the conversation goes onto the weather and then about those shocking flash floods in Majorca.
Then it turns out he has a son in New Zealand working and that they too get torrential downpours, that stops them at silage. However he said in an hour after the rain they could start up the harvester again as they have rich volcanic soil that the water just soaks right through. He was saying the same rain in this country would stop a harvester for days till the ground dried up a bit.
Big difference in ground soakage and dept of soakage.
