GAA and all that
I too live right beside croke park (does everybody....we should have a party), and what a bunch of fucking moaners you all are. (lets not have that party). How many days was it...maybe 12 (max), only about six of which actually had decent crowds. It adds a bit of colour and keeps your local fucking shops in business.
Christ its not like people go rioting, breaking shit (like fucking socialists), or cause any fucking harm (the opposite actually). Everything is done in the best spirits...
Up Tipp......
it is way more then 12 days a year, maybe 12 weekends both saturday and sunday.... AND they do break shit, and fight and trash pubs (especially when dublin fans are invovled), Also I get quizzed by the cops blocking my road every time I leave or return from the road, my mates or family can't drive to my house as traffic is banned from the road, BUT the biggest pain is being woken up at 10am on a sunday morning to sthe sounds of GAA fans singing there brains out (most of whom are drunk at that stage).
All it requires is not a ban on matches (though I pray... how I pray) but better and more responsible organisation and consideration from the GAA for the residents.
