(Gaelic) Football v's Soccer

orangesoda

With the Ulster Championship starting tomorrow there will certainly be some classic match ups, along with world class punditry all polished off with the sunday game theme tune.
I wonder which code you prefer?

I like a drop of the English soccer and have been watching for years but I can't stand the drivel muck fest played here, however I think Gaelic Football is much more entertaining overall.

Also, please add your prediction for winner of the All-Ireland Football CHampionship.

Hold on a second.

The OP can be taken in the context of the Sky Sports thing.

Never really got Gaa myself, it's a curious mix of Soccer, Basketball and Rugby. It's supposedly based on some ancient ball game but I get the feeling that the rules were hastily drafted back in the late 19th century when the GAA was founded and they never really put too much thought into how it would actually work in practice. It looks visually awkward to me, like it's trying not to actually be like any of the above mentioned games but still trying to be the kind of thing you would naturally do with a ball, which it clearly isn't. I guess if you play it long enough it all feels natural enough but something about it just doesn't slot into place for me, like it's the ultimate game designed by a committee.

I predict the winner of the championship will be the gaa coffers

A good way to see if your a football fan or a soccer man is what you do when someone throws a ball at you, if you hand toe it and fist pass it back your a football man and if you do keepy uppys or something your a soccer man

Don't really watch either that much, but if I was to make an effort I would watch Gaelic. It's just a much more entertaining game.

I propose a separate forum for sports. Possibly sub-divided for different ones.

An excellent game of Gaelic football is unbeatable, a lot of the time it's brutal though.

I'd take a brilliant game of Gaelic football over even a brilliant game of hurling - and look where I'm from! I'd be hanged, drawn and quartered if I said this in public.

Grew up with soccer played s bit of gaa but much preferred soccer. Drifted away from gaa but when the kids were born they played so it kinda rekindled my interest in the game.

Fast forward about 10 years and i'd give up the champions league or world cup final if i knew there was a gaa game in the field. Senior to u6 lads or ladies it matters not a whit. My kids don't even have to be playing, i love the game.

It has its bad elements like any sport but its by far the most inclusive sport in the community. Love it

My father often says that the worst game of football is still better than the best game of soccer.

I dislike hurling, it is vile just like irish soccer

The 'drivel muck fest' is my favourite football of all.

Gaelic: hurling is decent, but gaelic football is not my thing at all. Hate watching it.

Consequently, don't care about who will win the All Ireland.

Soccer is far superior.

"Hurling best game in the world."

"Soccer best game in the world"

so on and so forth.

Hate when people pontificate their sport as being the best and others as rubbish. Everyone has different tastes. It's not that hard. Just because you don't have an interest in something doesn't mean you have to piss on it.

I prefer soccer to gaelic football. Hurling to soccer. But for all those preferences there are exceptions. It mostly depends on what teams are playing one another.

Can I ask why you don't like it? I never actually understood why it's so unpopular in some parts of the country.
