It’s a wonderful thing, the GAA.
It’s a unique thing.
From grassroots to grandparents, from club to county all over Ireland, there’s a distinction and a bond that makes the GAA truly special.
Most of the time, a picture tells you everything you need to know and here are some of our favourites that show just what the GAA is all about.
Full-time puck-arounds with the nephew on the most hallowed turf in the country
Your heroes are accessible
Your heroes are classy

The love
The anger
The passion
It means more to your mammy than it does to you
It means more to your granny than it does to your mammy
Brothers mark each other
Some people get to meet their sporting hero. Unfortunately I had to mark mine. Strange day, but still best buddies!! pic.twitter.com/xhNvaxjbyT

We’re all brothers at the end of the day
Winning the title for the people really means winning the title for the people
Every man and his dog are behind the team
Everyone stands for the anthem
Everyone is a steward
When there’s no room left in the stand
John Kelly (Clare Champion).
Goalkeepers don’t need gloves
The band will patiently wait for the players
Doctors aren’t afraid to get involved
This is a coming-together
This is handbags
This is a scuffle
This is a schmozzle
This is take-your-beating
This
And whatever this is
The love of the game
