All Ireland, not even in question, I'd imagine it would be different for a few in Kilkenny who see it coming home nearly every year McFan88 (Limerick) - Posts: 447 - 13/06/2016 13:37:14 1866143 Link 0 |
3 out of the 11 in irelands named side v sweden are non irish born i believe....so much for them all having cockney accents or whatever other lazy stereotype people want to attach to the irish team alano12 (Dublin) - Posts: 2208 - 13/06/2016 15:53:49 1866242 Link 1 |
Ha cue! I actually think Rovers supporters were right in their dispute with Davies'. I can't exactly remember the ins and outs of the situation but I remember feeling dirty that I agreed with that shower! MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13732 - 13/06/2016 16:11:25 1866257 Link 0 |

From those of us from the weaker counties...All Ireland any day. Edge27 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1 - 13/06/2016 16:16:18 1866266 Link 0 |
Looking forward to kick off but not in the same league as even say Mayo v Galway this Sat. I suppose for most on this site, being a GAA site we all have the GAA at number 1. But for the next few hours I am hopping on the soccer bandwagon...Come on Ireland!!! yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11256 - 13/06/2016 16:16:33 1866267 Link 0 |
Good to see Wes Hoolahan start.A little bit of magic in a pretty physical team.My pred is 2-1 to Ireland. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 13/06/2016 16:18:26 1866269 Link 1 |
I wouldn't even worry about the accents. If they qualify to play for Ireland then they are Irish enough for me. I had to be peeled off the ceiling when Ray Houghton's goal went in against England and I didn't give a monkeys what accent he had.

Sam or Liam mc carthy all day long. Tend to kind of agree with this sadly . Not massive Ireland fan, much more so for rugby but the whole English born players I don't like . Not because I'm anti English just because I'm pro loyality . A lot of these guys would play for england if they had a choice I think but not good enough. I love the gaa for its loyalty. Where your born is where you play (I know there is a few excepts and I'm not talking about club level where there is is lots ) . That is why I love gaa , people know the players personally , you meet them around the place , at there work place , in the gym,the shops etc. Good look trying to meet Wayne Rooney or ronaldo in Aldi. I stopped supporting united around 13 when I realised its all about money. Man U has no connection to me . The players aren't from where I am , most of them aren't even from Manchester , or England . They would switch to a rival club for the right amount of cash in a heartbeat . The only thing loyal about soccer are the fans . The day the gaa becomes a mini premiership focused on players wages rather than loyality .I could not watch it. Rant over , hope Ireland do well, I don't dislike them just doesn't give me the same goosebumps as all Ireland final day . BarryPD (Dublin) - Posts: 34 - 14/06/2016 09:55:25 1866482 Link 0 |

nd to kind of agree with this sadly . Not massive Ireland fan, much more so for rugby but the whole English born players I don't like . Not because I'm anti English just because I'm pro loyality . A lot of these guys would play for england if they had a choice I think but not good enough. This is probably more of a problem in rugby where they're more relaxed with their eligibility rules. CJ Stander wouldn't be playing with us if he could play for South Africa. He qualifies through residency only, played underage the whole way up with SA. I've no problem with it personally but just pointing out it's inconsistent to prefer the rugby team over the soccer team for the reasons you provided.

I'm talking more about the Irish team itself , but I'm not a crazy Rugby fan either just more so than soccer on them grounds.

what about dave O'Leary and Paul McGrath . what do you "I don't like english born players" brigade think of those 2 ? what about darran O' sullivan, do you think he should be allowed play for kerry. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 14/06/2016 11:53:01 1866543 Link 0 |
These are Irish people too (by right.), just happen to be a bit different to some of us. It's all pretty straightforward. Your attitude is like saying you don't believe the moon exists because that's your opinion and your entitled to, even though it's clearly visible most nights of the week. (This being born somewhere nonsense makes me suspect your parents are not from Dublin and you're trying to compensate for this blip in your bloodline with your overpowering Dublin-ness. You can relax though, when I was growing up Dubs with parents from Dublin were a serious minority and you know it was still OK.) rcarragh (Dublin) - Posts: 305 - 14/06/2016 11:56:14 1866544 Link 0 |

However, judging by how pathetic Ireland were against Belgium on Saturday, we have nothing to worry about. KerryKillers (Dublin) - Posts: 711 - 21/06/2016 13:34:57 1870192 Link 0 |
Ha wouldn't it be great if we got the chance to beat the frogs in Paris.If we can somehow beat Italy and qualify as one of the fourth best third-placed teams,Sunday would be something else.

Yeh it would be great but a disaster for the already smallish crowd predicted for Sunday!
