Hi,
I would like to suggest a forum that would enable users to discuss GAA players, encompassing every sport in the GAA – be it hurling, gaelic football, camogie, ladies football or even handball. GAA players get a lot of interest in the GAA forum, and I feel that the GAA forum alone does not do them enough justice.

Quite honestly, GAA players are among the most talented people of our world. You wouldn’t find Bill Gates or Stephen Hawking scoring a sideline cut form 45 metres out on a windy day in Croke Park, at any rate. But could Joe Canning do it? Why yes, he could. Frankly, I believe if David Hasselhoff can get his own forum, then the great GAA players of our nation (or even New York or London) should have one too.

It is clear from previous posts that a GAA Players Appreciation Forum would benefit users of the GAA forum. This would also help to ease traffic in the GAA forum.

[QUOTE=premierstone;61783131]Yes while some may sneer and say you are childish and immature I think we should all just stop and think about it for a second (close your eyes if need be) becasue at the end of the day you can never have too much of the boobies :D



There is a sticky for this already[/QUOTE]


[QUOTE=Mayoegian;61782389]More colour, like GAA pics or something y'know![/QUOTE]


[QUOTE=grenache;61803488]A crush is putting it lightly. More of an obsession!! She's also in love with Joe Canning. Good thing that Joe's got enough of him to go around ;)

*She used to have a thing for Paul Browne, until i convinced her that he is actually not very good at all.



What do they be smoking? :D[/QUOTE]

I don't think this forum should just be dismissed off-hand because of its seeming frivolity and flippant nature. On the contrary, there are several such forums already in existence on boards.ie:

*First and foremost you have the "Legends of the Boards" forum, which caters to discussions on prominent members of the boards community in a similar vein to what the proposed new "Hot GAA players" forum would be used for. The new "Hot GAA players" forum would be used to discuss the appealing aspects of the hot GAA players in a similar way to how a legend of the boards is chosen- except that instead of choosing someone by their wit and prose, the hot GAA players would be chosen due to their flowing locks, majestic skills or perhaps even their chisseled cheekbones and strong muscular arms.

While Boards caters to a broad spectrum of serious topics, ranging from advice on consumer rights to parenting, forums for the purpose of fun have never been shyed away from. Look at "The Cuckoo's Nest," "The Thunderdome," "David Hasselhoff" and "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows" for examples.

I think that while perhaps not being an entirely serious forum, it would add a certain something to boards, providing a haven for those of us who wish to discuss those hurlers or sportmen who enthrall us with their skill and dashing Prince Charming like looks. It is with that statement that I implore you to add your support for this forum.

In case this wasn't enough, I also have a quote from Deise_Girl regarding the proposed forum.

[QUOTE]I think we should have a gaa sub forum to appreciate all the hurlers/footballers, heck even handabllers if anyone knows any. At the end of the day I'm sure every female is fed up of the lack of gaa fellas being discussed on the forum (Joe Canning-Galway and Thomas Ryan-Waterford, I mean come on like! :P) and Im sure its been mentioned in the gaa off topic before about the lack of bewbs and that :P It would benefit everyone and shur if any them gaa sportspeoples ever were to come on boards wouldnt they love to be talked about in such a way. A great way to show we appreciate hot gaa palyers

I really hope that this forum will be seriously considered and will leave a lasting impression on its users.
