If you're not, you won't give a shite.

RTE apparently received a deluge of complaints arising from the many naughty words spoken by the players and management of the Dublin football team during 'The Dubs - Story of a Season', screened on Monday night. Words such as 'shit' (good grief!), 'bollocks' (oh, my goodness!) and (brace yourself) 'fuck' (swoon followed by prolonged blackout).

I have one question: have any of the people who complained ever actually been to a Gaelic football match in their lives? Croke Park on a summer Sunday is a positive cauldron of expletives.Fans curse. Managers curse. Players curse. Swearing is as much an integral part of the GAA as Micheál O Muircheartaigh, violent inter-parish rivalry, hats-flags-and-headbands, and rabid nationalism.

So Paul Caffrey, the Dublin manager, says 'fuck' a lot. Big deal. You can either watch a sanitized version of a documentary about top-level Gaelic football or one that portrays something approaching reality. The programme itself was genuinely insightful on occasion and engaging throughout; far superior to most sports documentaries.

I leave you with a quote from The Simpsons.
'Won't somebody please think of the children!?'

No. They should have been in bed.
