Very odd, Guest, should have told who where to go? the people who refused my begging bowl ?
I follow GAA games myself also of course and played them for several years both in Ireland and abroad, how could I condemn all followers ? players either? When have I done so ? I was making the point that no one would have made such a response to a GAA flag day in 1965 in rural Ireland.
Of course many of the FAI officials over the years were not of the quality that one would prefer ,just as were those in GAA, or IRFU. However, I believe that I have not, in this thread,wrongly represented matters as they were and are.
Do I need to remind you old chap that personal insults (especially from one with an agenda ) have no adverse effect whatsoever. Only good sound argument will have that result.
You seem to forget that football , back in the 30s - 60s was a relatively successful busines with various shareholders and employees who took the profits, such as they were. Yes things deteriorated with the advent of live TV matches which left our organisation behind. GAA, of course, did not have this competition in those less affluent times. Now that Setanta TV have taken a stake in Gaelic Games, lookout for future conflict.
