Liam Miller Memorial Match- Tues 25th Sep

I was thinking the same, unless his sense of humour has changed.

I was in the City End terrace, near the top, and had plenty of space around me. Part of the problem was a lot people at the match wouldn't be used to going to matches and certainly not standing on terraces.

You could tell there were a lot of people who are more accustomed to concerts and they all tried to push up to the front of the terrace. Anyone who regularly stands on a terrace knows that the view from the front is sh*te. 

Would you ever f**k up.

The GAA were bullied. The cheek to request the use of a stadium for the death of a young player.  The GAA are a narrow minded xenophobic cult.  The GAA were happy to  bully the local residents when Garth Brooks wanted ride the arse out of the community for mega bucks.

Het-field wrote: Mickey Kelly! Loved that one!! The one where he shilled for Fianna Fáil on the Late Late was comedy gold.

Everyone thought that he was a fictional character. 

The GAA is set up to try and be a democratic organisation - In fact, probably the most democratic organisation, where everybody has a say. The reality is often different but that's a whole different story. 

Those who run the GAA put a high value of this democracy. 

The rules are mostly determined by the members so I can see how an organisation might fell a bit annoyed about being told to circumvent their own rules, put in place by their members, due to pressure from outside parties.

Now, as a GAA member I've zero issue with the game being played there - It was most definitely the right thing to do. And I'd have more sympathy with Horan having a moan about it in public if that was accompanied by a motion for congress which gave the GAA upper management the ability to allow charitable events at all venues, should they decide to. But in the absence of that, he should have said nothing.
