1) The GAA player who played in front of 80,000 at the weekend will be teaching your children, selling you meat or fixing your drains on Monday morning. The soccer player who plays in front of 80,000 will be moaning about playing too many games and will be trying to sell you his personalised brand of leisure wear 2) GAA nicknames are better (The Bull, The Bomber, etc.) . Soccer players just add a Y to their surnames 3) Dublin vs Meath is a real derby. What does Utd. Vs City mean to Ronaldo or Sibierski 4) How many soccer players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer eleven. One to stick it in and ten to surround and kiss him after he does it 5) Soccer players go to the papers after a game. GAA players go to the pub 6) John Terry would run a mile if he came up against Darren Fay 7) GAA teams are numbered 1-15. A soccer team reads like the lottery results 8) All soccer players wear shin pads. Some hurlers wear helmets 9) Television runs soccer. Schoolteachers run the GAA 10) The GAA is about where you're from. Soccer is about who you like 11) No segregation at GAA games 12) No soccer team has a nickname quite as lovely as the Fighting Cocks of Carlow 13) Bubble perms never made it to Croke Park 14) A scoreless draw in the GAA would be quite a novelty 15) The GAA may not appreciate its women as much as it should but at least we all know who Cora Stanunton is. The most famous woman in English soccer is Posh Spice 16) Under age players get to be part of the biggest days in hurling and football at half-time in the All-Ireland. 17) Micheal O'Murchearaigh. 18)If a GAA player ever jumped at a spectator like Eric Cantona did the rest of his team would join in. So would the rest of the crowd. 19)Vinnie Jones grabbed Gascoignes testicles. Paudie O'Se decked Joe McNally during the National Anthem. McNally learnt his lesson. Gascoigne just got worse. 20) The GAA season always leaves you wanting more. The soccer season leaves soccer people demanding less. "Fewer games please" 21) Old soccer players get testimonials, Old GAA players just slip down to junior. 22) Rural villages = A Church, A Post-office, a Pub and a GAA pitch. 23) Pints after the match with the lad you knocked seven lumps of ***** out of in the game. 24)Croke park on a Summer's Day. 25)Roman Abramovich can buy the League. You can't buy Sam AskUreSister (Westmeath) - Posts: 160 - 26/11/2008 13:47:25 150394 Link 0 |

Ever been to Anfield? Or any major 'soccer' stadium in the world? Because that's what GAA is missing... The atmosphere!! TheRevolution (Mayo) - Posts: 487 - 26/11/2008 14:37:45 150465 Link 0 |

I dont think that GAA fans need to run down other sports to glorify there own games , our own games are an important part of what we are and we can injoy them without belittling others, it makes us look small and after all our kids play at least one other game either rugby or soccer. allSOran (Sligo) - Posts: 690 - 26/11/2008 14:39:32 150469 Link 0 |

I've been to Parkhead, Anfield, Goodison Park, Elland Road, Highbury and Carrow Road. They all were like being at the library except in the library there is usually some totty. fearansrathban (Tyrone) - Posts: 49 - 26/11/2008 15:00:01 150495 Link 0 |

Revolution, I think you're right. But I think its mainly because the GAA put games on in Croke Park which cant even half fill the stadium. And so you get 30000 people and it looks empty. We should be filling Castlebar and Wexford Park and Pairc Ui Caoimh and Casement over the summer. There'd be some atmosphere then. Plus a lot of people cant dedicate a full weekend to travelling to Dublin 4 or 5 times every summer. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2573 - 26/11/2008 15:00:12 150496 Link 0 |

why do gaa fans feel the need to run down other games??our games are strong enough without having to lower ourselves to this.plus this rubbish of put ronaldo or whoever up against darren fay or joe mc mahon..what a load of rubbish..if a gaa player came up against a rugby international he wouldn't exactely look to hard...or against an afl player from what we have seen in international rules in the last few years.i have been at gaa matches in half empty stadiums where the atmosphere has been shocking...look at thomond park last tuesday...better than any atmosphere i ever seen at a gaa match.i am a huge sports fan..i would watch any sport..you should appreciate other sports without always comparing them to gaa der_bomber (Kildare) - Posts: 149 - 26/11/2008 15:58:41 150572 Link 0 |

The Revolution- I cannot believe that you are a genuine GAA fan because you are constantly giving out about the GAA. Isn't this a GAA website. MayoHollymount (Mayo) - Posts: 74 - 26/11/2008 16:00:30 150574 Link 0 |

Derfil1- at least Mayo get to All-Ireland finals. Kildare - well, had a run at it this year - maybe we'll see that again come 20 years. MayoHollymount (Mayo) - Posts: 74 - 26/11/2008 16:04:10 150581 Link 0 |

WEL DER_BOMBER. i take that u didnt like my post.i thought it was funny. but i will defend my self from people who claim im running down other sports. i follow a lot of sports, soccer, gaelic football, hurling,rugby,nfl,nhl,nba,horse racing and dog racing.i dont compare each sport to another one. and it was john terry that would run from darren fay... not ronaldo. take time to notice key parts of ure arguement before ya go in a liitle tissy fit.. to all who have had a giggly when reading my 25 reasons. thanks. there is a sense of humour alive in this recession...
