Gaelic Football is without a doubt the biggest sport in Ireland. Every place in the Republic anyway has a club near by, and every town/village/area with people living has a team. It gives a real sense of community. Yeah, the crowds are good but have gone down alot in recent years due to the recession and all that. Funny you mention AFL, My brother actually played some game for his company in the stadium where the Perth team play, West Coast Eagles is it?

Yep, West Coast Eagles. Does your brother live in Australia or something?

Have you seen that game they have every now with the Irish Gaelic Footballers playing against the AFL players?

Good, I hate AFL. The worst sport in the world, it's good the Gaelic Footballers put those AFL bastards in their place. And it's pretty easy to get citizenship here especially if you are British/Irish.

Very off topic but have you been to Australia? I would say if you came to Aussieland I would buy you a beer but I'm afraid to because of what happened last time.

You can't throw the ball at all, and both Gaelic and especially Hurling require alot of skill. Seeing as it was made in the 1800's, Rugby and Football weren't exactly big then, in fact if you watched 'Green is the Colour' Rugby was non existent in Ireland and Soccer was only popular in the North. Each to their own though, and I also like the fact that you won't get a no score draw in GAA.

ha I was only fishing mate, couldn't tell you what they do

You thinks it's bad? Watch AFL. It's the bastardised son of Gaelic Football.

Everyday I'm learning that Ireland sure is a sensitive island (what I mean is that shit gets real serious quick).

you think its bad you should see Northern Ireland

Even though us Aussies have a good relationship with Ireland my big fat mouth would get me in a lot of trouble in the Republic and Northern Ireland. Shane can quote me on this.
