    Well,this stems from Boards Beers 17 in Messrs on Sat night and seen as how access is denied for me on the soccer forum,I am challenging the soccer forum on behalf of the GAA forum to accept our proposal on having challenge matches in both codes.

    Heres the deal,you soccer heads choose your venue and we'll show up and play you at soccer.Then some other time,we'll choose our venue and we'll meet you there and play GAA.I really think it would be interesting.In fact I trained on Sunday and this morning at 6am.:D

    Anyway,I think it will take a few weeks or months even.We have to rally the troops,get our jersies made and train.We wouldn't go in unprepared you know.

    Anybody interested,please PM me or The Pope and we'll get organised.You never know,we could have games against other companies and groups.In such a case,I'm more than happy to organise it.
    Just throwing this here for bb. If this goes ahead (which hopefully it will) theres only 1 rule we have. Any tackles that are fair game in GAA are fair for the footie match also. ie. a punch is just a warning but 5 punches are a yellow ;) Joking of course. Actually, who from here were we talking to about it? I cant remember the nickname.

    hehe, we dont bite. :) Ok then, lets take over a random forum for this. The greyhound one is usually quiet ;)

    If we do pull this off, we could do it for charity, namely the one I am trying to raise money for at present. See my signature. I am going to Malawi in Africa at the end of October for two weeks to teach computer courses for an Irish-based and sport-related charity. The charity is Playing for Life and the specific project I will be involved in is this one in Zomba in Malawi. The charity has connections to both the FAI and the GAA, as well as other sports. I depart on October 30th, and I am meant to have as much of the €5500 that I have to raise by the end of September. I have about €1400 so far.

    This is the poster I was sent, and I have other documentation:

    If anyone can help in any way, please contact me, as every euro helps. I have set up an online page that you can donate to by credit card, which you can access through my signature.

    I'd be well up for this. Haven't played GAA in years but could be an fun addition to pre season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 154 ✭✭WeAreShels


    Yeah I'd be well up for that too.

    It`ll take us a while to get ready for it tho. Most of us havent run further than to catch a bus in years :) Should be fun tho. Would be good to get a charity thing involved also.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,715 ✭✭✭Nalced_irl


    Im drunk, but not too drunk to foresee this game as a victory for GAA :D we lose 5-0 in the footie (soccer)(them yolks across the wather)(whatever u want to call it :D ) but win 8-14 to 3-2 in the Football. We doing this by collective scores or as each game being just a win? ie. if you win the soccer and we win the GAA its a draw? More entertaining id say if the scores mattered from each game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,742 ✭✭✭blackbelt


    Well folks,we've been talking a lot about the proposal for some matches a lot on the GAA forum and we're getting there as far as numbers are concerned.Thought I'd give you guys an update.

    Phoenix Park looks likely to be the venue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    Just so we're sure on this, I can punch people in GAA right? And do that silly thing that gah players do, you know where they bounce of each other like two fat seals?? I've always wanted to do that! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,715 ✭✭✭Nalced_irl


    You can Leixlip but you`ll get back more than you give ;)

    If other Boardeaux players are doing this, I'll give it a go. Never played it before and don't know the rules.

    Seen it on TV though, looks like its a walk in the park alright... :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    id be well up for a bit of "bogball" as Des likes to call it...im sure us country folk can teach ye a few tricks!!!! Art and Dan should be up for it also.

    Count me in, I havent had a good boxing match, i mean GAA game since I moved to Dublin :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    so des, can we organise this? we have a free week in 2 weeks time, so maybe we could play that week? organise it now please!!!something different and shold be a laugh. i reckon we would take them in both codes!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    I don't know how the bogballers are getting on with a team, I suppose I could ask.

    Also, only about three of the regular posters on this forum said they'd get involved.

    Also, probably better to do it in off season, to avoid unnecessary injury.

    Also, will take more than 2 weeks to organise.

    Also, why the feck do I have to organise it by myself?

    we will have more than 3,we would have at least 7 or 8 people who have gaa experience, that would do and remember, there is soccer involved too, so i cant see how we wouldn have a team.

    injury, come on, im playing gaa since i was 7 and i have been injured alot more times playing soccer. gaa is upper body contact mostly.

    2 weeks to organise? christ, ill fecking do it if it would take you 2 weeks!

    How many games you won?

    You'd never displace the Shay/Sav partnership.




    er....Friday nights...no wonder the stains form has dipped.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL

    In our first season, the six games before Xmas, which you played in, we conceded nine goals.

    F**k that lads, you don't get to mouth off with a 'shure we'd bate yous in both gaa and that foreign man football game' rant and then say 'eh, I'll get back to you on that after I've had 6 months training'. Either put the f*ck up and play us as soon as this can be organised or good luck.

    I'd expect a certain level of organisation from a gaa team, and one of the fundamentals of soccer is good organisation - very hard to break down a well organised defence, so I'll back us for only a 2 or 3 goal win on the soccer side. One caveat being is that its reffed by a qualified soccer ref cos otherwise we'll get the gaa heads going 'shure that was a grand tackle, he only floored him and with gaa rules who honestly knows whats a foul and whats not?'. If we have a 2 goal lead by half time we'd at least double it in the second.

    The gaa match (reffed by a gaa ref with normal levels of physical contact allowed) would intrigue me though, I think our team needs just a little bit more toughness, though we've come a long way on that front, so would be good to see how we fare up. Bottom line is gaa is more a specialist skill with point kicking from hand and foot and many of those skills are directly transferrable to soccer so if paddy power was here he'd have to back the gaa team for an aggregate win. Me, I'll be playing full forward and will back myself to score at least 1-3 and I'll reckon we'll take yous no bother.

    The difference between our team and your team is that your team all know each other from playing together.We don't have this hand when it comes to the GAA forum except for a small select few of us who have met for some drinks after Dublin/club matches.I'm still getting numbers and building from the last invitation and it is starting to look really good.

    Haha,I think the 1-3 is a bit ambitious on your part.You are not Declan O Sullivan :D We have lads playing for clubs who will be able to take care of you and I don't mean that in the physical style you think I might be ranting on about.With a bit of luck you might score three wides and miss a penalty.:D:D:D

    Ah, I was hoping to get a bit more of a rise out of you than that ;), far too sensible a response altogether.

    For the record, I've never played gaa so have absolutely no way of knowing if I'd be any use at it, but would defo be on for giving it a shot cos it does seem like it would be a good buzz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭LoBo


    we'll all have a lot of trouble running while soloing off our foot.

    all that is except shay who is clearly a gaa player in disguise

    We'll have to get organised.It would be a disaster if it was rushed.All the lads that contacted me or posted that are up for it are from Dublin.We're thinking that the Dublin jersey is a better kit for us but we realise you wear sky blue as well.

    Grimes,I'm as cool as a cucumber.You'll find that out when we play off :D
    I'm also thinking of recording the match on posting it up on youtube.What you guys think?

    You can't wear the Dublin jersey, we are an established team and play in Sky Blue.:p

    I might be able to organise something better than a poxy YouTube posting though.

    Story folks,

    We're discussing the soccer v GAA matches and we're nearly there in terms of numbers.We want to propose to have this match in June sometime.

    How will your fixtures work out in the summer time?Is this an off season for the soccer leagues?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    There'll be games for us in June, but we play midweek, so weekends will be good?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    JUNE? WTF? does it honestly take 7 months to organise 2 games? in fact, 1 game as im sure we could run this off in 1 session. come on lads, tis not that hard to organise it, all we need is a bit of communication.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭villains77


    I be up for it allright. count me in. when is it likely to be played. was on the gaa forum and they saying june next year. Any particular kit to wear or has it been organised. let me know of any info.cheers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    OK villains77.

    We are a Soccer team. We have a squad of 20+ players.

    If you want to join, come to a training session before the next season.

    We are currwently half way through our season, and all of my players have paid over a hundred euro to play.

    If you are good enough, I'll sign you up. For next season.

    What position do you play?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,742 ✭✭✭blackbelt


    As I asked on the GAA forum,name your venue,your date and your time and we'll be there.

    What format is the soccer if we are playing this on astro?Is it seven a side or 11?
