  • The GAA is a wonderful, beautiful creation of ours, but suffice to say if you're not Irish, you probably don't know what they are. You wouldn't know that all GAA players are amateur, and to play county makes you the pride of your parish, or that you'll have your father screaming after you to "run you fat f**k". Well let Tommy explain to you just what the GAA really is. It's not just "irish football".

    I'd love to see Jim Carrey on the Tommy Tiernan show. I've heard Tommy talk about how being unprepared for his performances and just going with whatever Shite comes oush of his moush and prays the audience gets it. Because of this kind of naturalness to his performance, I think that himself and Jim would make a very interesting conversation.

    GAA amateur status is simply a relic of its origin in British society of the late 1800s, all organised British sports were amateur to begin with. Football (soccer) and rugby (league) went professional early-ish on, other games such as athletics and rugby union remained amateur for decades. Trying to make a case for the GAA being special or different because it prefers to see its best players emigrate rather than pay them properly is...dubious.

    How to be a gaa person.
    1, always expect people to have no choice as the gaa wants and has had a monopoly.
    2. Always kick out at an opponent who has just scored against you.
    3. Fight as much as possible and punch your opponent at every opportunity.
    4. make sure your local priest is a member of your gaa club.
    5. Swear profusely.
    6. Swear allegiance to mick dunne the famous commentator not.
    7. Support rascism and discrimination.
    8. Support terrorists.
    Following the above will put you on the right track to be accepted in this scummy and corrupt organisation. Go raibh maith agat.
