    Too busy elsewhere to watch or get involved.
    If it was on the TV, I doubt I would ever tune in to watch to be honest.
    Each to their own to be fair.

    It's an awful sport played by people with funny non-Dublin accents.







    I'm joking

    I hear they don't even sing Ireland's Call :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭McTigs


    Love hurling, fantastic game so great to watch.

    Absolutely can't ****ing stand Gealic football. It's ridiculous, all that pulling and dragging, there's no flow to it whatsoever. It must have the lowest skillset of any team sport anywhewre. dreadful dreadful game.

    And it's all they know how to play in mayo which says it all really

    I've played competitive football as a wing forward for ~20 years.

    Apart form the championship, I don't watch it. I don't know what's going on in other towns and counties. I have no idea about other results and fixtures around Ireland. Some of the lads in the clubs I've played for were like bloody encyclopedias.

    I think what I'm saying is I don't take much interest in it but I love skinning wing-backs at the weekend, especially when they're the knob, punching, shoving off the ball kind :)

    What about the girls?? Are we excluded from this conversation! :(

    This too

    I think the GAA as an organisation breeds terratorialism, xenaphobia and the worst kind of irish inward looking narrow mindedness


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,136 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    No interest whatsoever, and hate people that take it waaayyyyyy too seriously.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    Don't watch it. Don't play it. Don't enjoy it.

    I think that's why some people don't like it.

    I've never played, but I think hurling is a fantastic sport, and watch it the odd time.

    Gaelic football on the other hand, just seems to be so lacking in skills and tactics that it's almost a non-sport.

    But maybe I'm just too much of a townie to get it!

    They should bring in rules for the fights like ice hockey has, which is a fantastic sport to watch

    I know this isnt the most serious of forums but your post is so wrong i had to reply. The GAA is the most community centred organisation in ireland.
    They accept people no matter where they are from. As a case and point the wexford under 21 footballers had a lad called lee chin playing for them the other night against dublin. If the GAA are xenophobic how do you explain that?

    It is the greatest thing that is, was, or ever will be.

    Send down from above as a gift from the almighty.

    How exactly??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    nawhin like bahin a shlitaar away hup a field for relayvin a bit a shtressh.

    Hurling is a great great game to watch and play, just wouldn't be caught up too much in the jersey wearing pride element of it all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I'm not a troglodyte in hot pants so the appeal is limited.

    The Jones Road BigotDome is a nice stadium though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,398 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    Where's the "Hate the gaa and anything to do with them" option?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    I think its a great part of Irish culture , but as for me I have absolutely no interest in it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,108 ✭✭✭RachaelVO


    I do like it... I've been known to sit and watch TG4 with a few matches, my husband thinks that both games are mad sports, (he's Dutch). I would probably really deliberately sit down to watch Dublin playing, but I do enjoy it when it's an end to end match.

    I'm a rugby girl meself, Leinster and Ireland, like some GAA. Not much into football (soccer) and certainly not English clubs (used to when I was younger but not now). If I do have any interest in it, it's for Bray wanderers, sorta my localish club!

    I have to walk through the local park to get to, well everywhere, but there's always a few people pucking a ball at each other with a hurl and everytime I get an insatiable urge to take the stick off them and just feck the ball up the pitch.
