Either you're a WUM or an ignoramus with no idea what Irishness means.

You must vehemently disagree with Senan Connell then regarding his idea of Dublin players being able to play for their parent counties, he even said Mayo and Kerry should avail of it! Re:soccer I'm not a massive fan but I think such an accomplishment would transcend anything any Irish sports team (national or international) has ever achieved. It'd be a great boost to people in Ireland and in terms of how'd be we be perceived on the global scale. I think your jibe at the foreign born players is unfair. Paul McGrath (my favourite Irish player ever) happened to be born in London - does that mean he isn't a Dub?, isn't Irish? The fact is these days the very small fee they receive for playing for Ireland is minimal to their total earnings. In contrast back in the 80's and 90's it was a far bigger % of their earnings so a much bigger incentive to play for Ireland. Also it was more beneficial in terms of raising their profile to go bigger clubs as English teams rarely if ever bought lads from outside Britain & Ireland as opposed to the global operation today. It'd be much easier for those players not to bother themselves turning up to play but they do apart from Cork born and bred Stephen Ireland!

Would have to go for Ireland even though Galway haven't won an AI for quite a while. I would understand counties like Monaghan going for Sam though if they haven't won it yet. It's a very tricky question though for Mayo fans eoghan6688 (Galway) - Posts: 154 - 07/06/2016 22:49:59 1863321 Link 0 |
Ireland to win the Euro's or World Cup any day of the week. Such a difference in magnitude. Anyone who follows soccer but says their county to win an All-Ireland is a liar. People tend to forget the hysteria and elation of Ireland doing well in a major tournament, but when it happens and push comes to shove and people become wrapped up in it again, it's Ireland to win a major everyday of the week over an All-Ireland. Come back and ask the question if we get out of the groups push deep into the tournament and you'll get very different replies. 32_4_1 (Meath) - Posts: 4122 - 07/06/2016 23:13:58 1863334 Link 1 |

Completely honestly, I'd rather see my club reserve team win their league match this weekend, than either of the Irish teams winning the Euros. Thomas Clarke (Tyrone) - Posts: 1002 - 08/06/2016 08:25:18 1863371 Link 0 |
I would take an Ulster title, or indeed a county club championship, ahead of the Euros myself. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 08/06/2016 08:35:37 1863375 Link 0 |
In this order: Dublin hurlers to win Liam, Dublin footballers to do back to backs, club senior hurlers to win the county championship, Ireland winning the Euros. I'll watch the games and support them but always the GAA 1st for me. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 08/06/2016 09:22:24 1863387 Link 0 |
Liam McCarthy is No.1 for me but I would put Ireland winning the Euros way ahead of Galway winning Sam for me. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1908 - 08/06/2016 09:22:59 1863388 Link 0 |

Whilst Ive already stated I hope boys in green do well there is a knock on effect if they were to do Stuggart/Boston heroics ,Dublin may well be flying but in parts of Dublin its a big challenge taking on soccer , in my area there are 11 soccer clubs within a few miles radius , our under 13s have 9 players and most likely will fold with players moving up an age , the area is soccer mad if we do well in France the fight gets that little bit harder , Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 08/06/2016 11:00:37 1863467 Link 2 |
