"County Laos"! Facepalm for the dumb commentator.

[browndog1980]

@davcr79 It is hardly "dumb" for someone with no exposure to Ireland to mispronounce a word like Laois. Regardless, Clinton Grybas was an absolute rising star of a commentator and tragically died very young. Your comments are unfortunate.

county lay-os? haha

[browndog1980]

@JONOCALDWELL Do you expect the commentator to be fluent in Gaelic linguistics?

Regardless now, he is dead. R.I.P. Clinton Grybas. Died far, far, far, far, far too young.

Good man begley! flying the flag for laois...pity the aussies can't pronounce it!

[Stringer9]

"LACE"..lol, it took me a few seconds there to figure out that he was on about Laois. O Hailpin sprinting after him..nothing strange about that, just the wrong sport. Change the ball or throw in a hurley and it'd be a lot better.

@thedublin16 You have an extremely narrow minded and melodramatic view of professional sport. You make it sound like the Empire in Star Wars.

Money and professionalism are not automatically bad, being paid allows the players to train full time, which makes the on-field aspects of the game even better, money results in better coverage, technology and investment in the game at grass roots level.

You don't see entrirely sure what you are angry about. The GAA owns no man. Let the players decide.

[browndog1980]

@thedublin16 "Service" is nothing more than a turn of phrase. No need to be pedantic about it.

Despite the professionalism at the highest level in the AFL. Australian Rules football continues to thrive at the semi-amateur (VFL, SANFL, WAFL, AFLQ) and amateur (VAFA) level. Don't buy 100 percent into what GAA blokes like Nickey Brennan and Christy Cooney say, they're just as interested in their meal ticket as they are in the future of the GAA.

[browndog1980]

@thedublin16 Doesn't suddenly stop becoming a sport because you get paid.

No one owns these Irish youngsters, not even the GAA. If they want to pursue the opportunity in the AFL, good on them.
