I have to agree totally. They seem to have to have a degree in the cliches and euphemisms of the games, like reading from a training manual. "Off the shoulder" and the like. This goes right across the spectrum - Gaelic games and Rugby included. I'm not convinced that women can be effective or entertaining "pundits" when they haven't experienced the context and intensity of the male game. After all, women's soccer, rugby, Gaelic and camogie are a long way off their male equivelants. Before I get hammered here, these are my opinions only and I don't expect anyone to agree.

Ah come on, I was messing.. although, jeeze, some very beautiful and athletic women playing. Sure I've seen plenty of comments from our GAA supporting ladies on this site complimenting tgr like of Bernard Brogan etc Zero harm in finding another human to he attractive Silly tongue in cheek response to another sort of one, nothing to see here precious. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20682 - 22/07/2023 13:19:24 2496121 Link 14 |

I don't watch the women's world cup, I barely watched the men's one either though. I have no children so it makes no difference to me how strong or weak female sport is, it is irrelevant to me. PattyONeill (Derry) - Posts: 245 - 22/07/2023 14:18:11 2496130 Link 6 |

Really? Tone of post didn't suggest that ayall and it is misogynistic considering the style of post etc Care to show all these comments about appearance of men here on this site? Zero harm. If you think that you've missed the complete point. No point explaining anything about this issue then as you wo t comprehend what's been said KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3643 - 22/07/2023 15:24:35 2496139 Link 1 |

You'd be some craic on a night out I'd say, Ormo. While your demanding evidence off other posters, dont forget to tell me the exact measurements of the standard of the women's game, please. You scurried off very quickly there.

The exact measure - its the world cup finals - that is the highest levels of the game - what else do you think it could be compared to? I am watching the Camogie semi final - I can compare that to the other semi final but what else do you think it could be compared to?

I guess it all depends on how many levels down you are willing to descend to and still show a keen interest. I stated my tolerance levels for soccer but it obviously offends a few people to have a preference and a reason why.

Are you sure that they don't know the words? Or maybe they are just trying to focus on the job ahead of them, instead of having a pre-match sing-song like the rugby lads? (They should focus a hell of a lot more, granted)

Rugby have 2 anthems. Only one is the real thing. The other is ?

Why do people get so obsessed about a bit of music before a game. Do you watch a game/go to a game for the sport activity played over 70/80/90 minutes or a lie there/watching the minute or so of a song played before. Which is more important?

If you don't know why the anthem is important there's no point explaining it to you cause you wouldn't understand.

You are missing thr point. You go to a match for the sporting action That isn't impacted by the anthem. It should even be played before most matches anyway leave it be played for finals only. Like you have club games with it played. I know why anthem is important but it shouldn't be played before as many games as it is.

I never have said or implied why the anthem is or is not important. I simply don't see the need to play it before as many games as it is. By doing that reduces its impact and keeping the playing of it to bigger days/matches/occasions reinforces the importance of the anthem nlinstead of lessening the anthems impact as you seen to think KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3643 - 23/07/2023 14:09:29 2496250 Link 0 |

'Ringsend Abbie' needs to start v Canada , she was terrific coming on against Australia. Can see Amber getting 20 mins as well. Being the only team in the group not to get anything from the first game puts them under immediate pressure. If Australia as expected beat Nigeria then they can rest key players v Canada knowing they are assured top spot in group. Ireland need a result against Canada.

Exactly right... So, why did the rugby crowd make such an issue of that silly Irelands call song being played slowly in Italy? streaker (Galway) - Posts: 503 - 23/07/2023 15:00:02 2496266 Link 1 |
