Ignorant GAA Fcukers

It's a common thing where car parking is not strictly organised or enforced. And not just at matches. People inept and have to be spoon fed on how park responsibly.

Don't organise parking, net result: attempts at parking vehicles worthy of Stevie Wonder.

There is always a designated parking location or a few farmer's will open a field. But people would rather park illegally than pay for parking.

Come on dudes the GAA is awesome! All that work and all voluntary!

Because soccer, rugby, judo, ping-pong <insert any sport here> coaches up and down the country don't put in any volunteer time at all at all.

I think the GAA is a grand organization, and I applaud anyone who gets out there to coach kids on their own time, but the self-regard it has for itself and the political pull it seeks and has puts a lot of people off.

Same story in every town, at home there's lots of public carparks (free on Sundays btw) and still they prefer to block every footpath for a 2 mile radius of the grounds rather than go in to one, baffling, if you parked like that at a road race, your car/bike would be lifted.

I don't know if it has changed much since my son hung up his boots at 8 years of age, it wasn't because he was sensitive it was because he couldn't give a fck...

Plenty of the knuts parking on double yellow lines along glore in Ennis, oh the day I seen a rookie guard empty his parking fine book on the spas.
I was delighted the whole lot fined... Id say 30 of them...

How does your local soccer aid rugby club repay the loans? Through fundraising and subs, which is what the GAA does

As I said, they have a weekly lotto (just like the GAA do). They don't do any other fundraising.

GAA have had events, quizzes, golf events, car boot sales, fancy trips overseas, radio show mentions, big pieces taken out in the local newspaper, door to door requests, last man standing competitions etc etc.

I could go on.

So the GAA put more effort into fundraising and this is why other sports look at their facilities in envy?

Well I think the soccer and rugby clubs would have no problem going out but I think they understand it's a bit greedy to constantly have the hand out.

They're called the grab all association for a reason!

Yes, you're right. The GAA do put more effort into getting good facilities for their clubs. But door to door requests? Are you sure you aren't going a bit too far with this?

Hey OP, it was actually the Gardaí that were directing people to park on the footpaths on either side of the road.
They weren't even letting cars down to the paid car park.

Look Culchies of IReland,

there's no "chip on our shoulder" or any of that.

you're too easy to slag.

Hilarious reading through this; folk who wouldn't know an upright from the crossbar getting riled up over the protocol of An Gardai Síochána for big championship games and I'm not even a big GAA head myself.

Such an odd little country sometimes.

kippy

I suppose the key point of this post is in relation to parking around "big" events - particularly GAA events and the ignorance of people in general towards other road/footpath users.

It's a pity that the OP chose to go over the top and single out GAA match goers and GAA Events for this and use such strong words but the reality is, the majority of major events in the country (particularly outside of Dublin) result in a parking mess.

A few reasons:
1. The over reliance on cars.
2. The lack of parking near the venue.
3. The lack of public transport.
4. The lack of accommodation.
5. The lack of enforcement of existing laws.
And while these aren't excuses for peoples behaviour - the go in some way of explaining why the behaviour is as it is.
The only solutions are to improve on all of the 5 points above and these are issues for the relevant venue holders, local authorities and enforcement groups.

Wouldn't even say it's anything to do with the GAA, plenty of chancer parking everywhere I go. Croke Park with any non-GAA event/concert is far worse than the GAA matches there.

Resident regularly get blocked in their driveways, or their cars will be blocked in by double parking.

Ye can't be doing that, lads!

Dick phelan

GAA is one of the best things about Ireland. Brings people together from many walks of life, volunteer based and gives people pride in their local community. Pricks park badly for any major event be it sporting, a concert or whatever. Guess that doesn't suit people who have a massive chip on their shoulder about GAA. You don't like it fine, but acting like anyone who supports it is some uncultured gombeen go fcuk yourself.

If people are parking cars illegally, notify the Gardai and they'll deal with it. The shopping centres will get fed up with people exceeding their maximum stay and they'll clamp them. This kind of nonsense used to go on along the Maynooth train line for GAA games before people put a stop to it. €5 for safe legal parking for an event is a very fair price.

You do know that giving money to a fundrasier is optional.

They don't go around armed to the teeth threatening people and asking them to hand over money.

It means to pull on the ball with a hurl.

It's a fairly common phrase used at hurling matches.

It’s more like half a crown looking down on a halfpenny, from my own perspective. GAA keeps people distracted from meaningful pursuits in their spare time. I’ve no time for the association or its members generally, less so when they park like a bunch of hicks going to town for a day out.

When you get a person who refers to others as culchies just because they follow GAA sports, are from a rural area or are simply from outside Dublin then you know you're dealing with an unfunny prejudiced individual.

AndrewJRenko

It's nothing really to do with the GAA or culchies.

It's drivers that are generally the ignorant fcukers - parking anywhere the hell they like, regardless of the impact on cyclists, parents pushing buggies, wheelchair users and more. Many rely on the out 'just a few minutes' excuse, which ignores the fact that multiple drivers all stopping for 'just a few minutes' effectively means the path or cycle lane can't be used for the intended purpose.

I have attended GAA matches in Tullamore for over fifty years and parking has always been the same way,but as far as I can recall I have never heard of any previous complaints.People park all the time on match days on the paths sometimes stretching a long way out the Kilbeggan road in particular.
