Sure what harm is there with them letting us all see how family orientated they are (for those with their own weans on show) or how good they are with kids and therefore great suitors (for those who grabbed someone else's kid). Let them at it - each to their own and all that. I know personally having got a few weans, all whom I love and cherish dearly, that as soon as that final whistle went on AI day the ones who I would be wanting to celebrate it with in the immediate aftermath would be my team mates only. Plenty of time to catch up with the missus and the weans when the dust has settled. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 17/09/2019 07:21:06 2236452 Link 0 |

It's the unwritten rule on All Ireland Final day. The only ones who can bring their kids onto the grass are the GOATs.

"Sacred to those involved" when did you start watching matches? Half of Croke Park ended up on the pitch after an AI traditionally. As for lads bringing their kids onto the pitch at one of the proudest moments of their lives what possible problem could you have with this?

Of course, in 20 years' time, one of those kids will be playing in an All Ireland Final himself and those cute pictures will be a huge embarrassment to him. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 475 - 20/09/2019 17:56:54 2237882 Link 0 |
