In or around 50 miles of Dublin i would agree with you but after that a high percentage of people would call it soccer. And i thought my analogy was spot on!https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/28236035/irish-lad-who-call-soccerfootball---its-sould-destroying-and-galling-to-hear-it?post_id=505953373#505953373Good man MJK, you have obviously spent very little or any time living outside of Dublin.

There is no need for people to take offence to it ffs. MJK if you asked someone from each county in Ireland what they thought of "the football yesterday" i would say more than half would talk about Dublin and not United.https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/28236035/irish-lad-who-call-soccerfootball---its-sould-destroying-and-galling-to-hear-it?post_id=505952789#505952789Gant is 100% correct imo.
