Well I'll be voting Yes but completely respect the decision of someone voting No. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/04/2018 17:56:04 2094345 Link 2 |
Normally I would totally agree - a democratic decision should be respected. But given some of the claims made by the No side, I have to say I'd find it hard to accept a NO outcome if it comes to that. If they were to honestly present the facts of their argument to the general public then fair enough. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 22/04/2018 18:18:54 2094349 Link 4 |
You say you respect those voting no, yet you come on here outraged at those Gaa figures voting No, where you have put up six posts on the issue, stated you are voting Yes & failed to dismiss with the same outrage those Gaa figures that came out this week stating they were supporting the Yes campaign. Rose tinted glasses, you are far from impartial or respectful of others, you have driven one agenda. I believe the GAA should never be politicised but it has been for decades & I am totally against it. Anyone coming on here claiming to be respectful yet expressing the way their going to vote is only driving their agenda.

Outraged that they are using the GAA in their no campaign . Not that they are voting no. Completely different . To be fair he did say he respected those who were voting a different way to himself But I do agree people shouldn't be saying which way they are voting and why on here. Not the place . galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 22/04/2018 18:39:50 2094360 Link 3 |
I'm a GAA player, and I'll be voting no, but the title of this group is wrong and should not be associated with the GAA in any form for either the yes side or the no side. 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 22/04/2018 18:51:50 2094364 Link 1 |
There should be no place for politics or religion in the GAA , vote whatever way you want but leave the GAA out of it. culmore (None) - Posts: 1398 - 22/04/2018 19:33:34 2094374 Link 2 |
I did denounce it. I absolute did. Read it. No way either side should use the GAA to peddle their wears. It's completely wrong to use the GAA in this way. I'll be honest I wasn't aware of the other side. I condemn the Yes side for the exact same reasons. Unreservedly condemn the Yes campaign. Also I actually said both sides have very valid points and deserve to be respected. Did you actually read my posts ? You shouldn't use the GAA to peddle your political wears. It's wrong. Both sides views should without question be respected and if a no vote wins I'll 100% respect it as the wish of the Irish people. I'll get on with my life because it doesn't really impact directly on me.. now Irish women though.. that's a different matter. It very much impacts them. I was honest, I didn't have to say how I was voting and sit on the fence. I have my own reasons for voting yes but can absolutely see and respect the reasons why people would want to vote no. Now it's down to how many vote Yes or vote no.. Ill be voting Yes. I've thought about it and that's my decision. I would respect anyone else doing the same thing on either side. I just hope it doesn't get nasty. Please read my posts before directly attacking me in the future. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/04/2018 20:01:36 2094377 Link 2 |
Completely agree Unfortunately though you're going to have a situation where respect goes out the window regardless of which way the vote goes. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/04/2018 20:05:02 2094378 Link 1 |
Micky Harte has every right to his opinion and every right to state it publicly if he so wishes. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 22/04/2018 20:24:44 2094383 Link 3 |
You really couldn't have got that more wrong. What I truly said is in black and white. I'm voting yes for my own reasons If people vote No for their own reasons I 100% respect that People shouldn't be afraid to express their democratic wish. It's about respecting another persons opinions. I gave mine. It's up to others how they want to take it. Yes/No.. it should be respected but using an institution that encompasses all backgrounds and opinions to peddle one agenda is wrong and I'm glad to see the GAA taking early action on this. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/04/2018 20:37:18 2094384 Link 4 |
Absolutely. He has every right to state as much publicly without fear of backlash. His views should be respected and I'd applaud him for his honestly. However using the GAA in order to do it.. absolutely not. Regardless of stance. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/04/2018 20:52:12 2094388 Link 3 |
MH should keep his opinion to himself or if he wants to voice it he should do it through other means like joining a political party and not using the gaa. mon07 (Monaghan) - Posts: 139 - 22/04/2018 21:35:58 2094395 Link 1 |

Attacking you, give us a break. Yes I read your posts, you have now condemned the yes side of the Gaa members who went public so I acknowledge that. I didn't use the Gaa to peddle my wares, I gave no opinion or took any side, in fact I specifically stated that I was against any politicisation of the Gaa & have been very vocal on here on other issues in relation to that. What I highlighted from your posts was you promoting your stance & your number of posts in relation to those who were highlighting the No campaign. A lot of people on here, a Gaa forum advocating one side or the other are no different to the Yes & No Gaa sides who went public, it's hypocritical to condemn those using the Gaa platform for yes/no & then use a Gaa forum to give your own voting preference. The hypocrisy seems lost on some.

Do all the the campaigning you want..but dont use the gaa's name to go about it.bad decision by these people GGdub (Dublin) - Posts: 260 - 23/04/2018 06:44:43 2094411 Link 1 |
I believe they actually used the term ' gaelic athletes' and didn't use the term gaa, I'm open to correction on this. It is an important distinction to make if correct. A Another (None) - Posts: 193 - 23/04/2018 08:27:10 2094417 Link 0 |
I'd say it's more to do with the county youre from. The usual suspects at play.

As a matter of interest, do you think the Gaa should offically endorse either side in this referendum? Or do you think it's best that they remain neutral?
