@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus Where is your “logic and facts”? Here’s a summary of your argument:
"Footy comes from gaelic football, because:
> Gaelic football is old.
> There were Irish people in Australia when footy was created."
I need you to understand that this is not rlly logically sound.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus You’ve forgotten what your original argument was😂
Ofc Gaelic has more history than footy no one’s denying that. I’m only explaining to you that footy’s history doesn’t involve Gaelic.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus You’ve talked about how long the Irish have been throwing balls around under various sets of rules, and you’ve talked about how there were some Irish people living in Australia in colonial times.
What you haven’t done is provide proof that Aussie rules is derived from Gaelic.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus “The irish played ballsports before the Australians. There were Irish people in Australia. Therefore, aussie rules comes from gaelic football."
Tell me honestly, you don’t see any flaws in this line of thinking? No logical leaps being made?
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus You’ve spammed me with over a dozen tweets and not once have you presented any real proof.
I know your type lol. It’s all about feelings and imagination. “oh but I *want* it to be true. never mind the evidence."
@VeryInsig @MickamiousG Great. 50% policemen, firemen, paramedics, public school teachers, public nurses, doctors and surgeons.
That’s exactly what will improve life in this country!
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus Lmao you spend your time on twitter telling trannies they have a mental illness, now you try to lecture me on using “mean” words.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus Oh but Marngrook was played before Aussie rules too? And there were aboriginals in the Goldfields too? (not that footy was even invented there…)
Your argument is just as stupid and wishful as the Marngrook nuffies. Really fucken weird how you’re so hell bent on this.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus If it’s “not hard for you to see” that aussies rules came from gaelic, why can’t it also come from marngrook then?
Seems like there’s equally little evidence for either claim. I mean Tom Wills coached an Aboriginal cricket side and even spoke the local language.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus Ofc the GAA is gonna claim the sport is older than christ, it was founded as an Irish nationalist organisation.
That’s what we call “an unreliable source”
See how Ive refrained from citing AFL resources? Bcos the AFL saying “yeah nah footy is heaps old” is not convimcing, is it?
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus They say “hm footy looks similar to this abo game. Therefore, Wills must have taken their ideas but couldn’t credit them"
You say “hm footy looks similar to this irish game. Therefore, Wills must have taken their ideas and couldn’t credit them
Neither of you have any evidence
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus “was quite a different game from that known
now as Gaelic football"
i.e. they were just chucking around a lump of leather in a paddock with no rules.
@BerrisFueller23 @Sonofmickmack@lavosaurus additionally, the laws of footy were drawn up by Tom Wills and his fellow pupils of Rugby School in England. If aussie rules derived from any football code, its pretty clear which one that was...
