Irish Sports

I know this forum isn't exclusive to Gaelic Football and Hurling but the Irish "Sports" label implies it is. It's called Gaelic Football and Hurling. Nobody refers to it as Irish Sports.
Why is the Australian and North American sections not Australian "Sports" and North American "Sports"?

only sport on the planet where the strongest team play all their games at home. I am sure The Dubs home pitch is Parnell Park? Typical anti Dublin rhetoric. I wouldn't expect anything else from the ignorant author. |

IT must be the only amateur sport in the world that can get 60,000 fans plus at there games, very hard to turn down money like that.

Kavvie...........F U N D I N G................how would all them country clubs be without the monies from the Dubs and would'nt they miss out on the trip to the big smoke to get all the christmas pressies in September.
Parnell park is the home pitch of Dublin and the hurlers would like to play there more often. |

As regard the point made by the opening post.
What of handball and camogie etc........it would be a long title....... I dont see how you can refer to everyone as nobody either. |

Maybe the all encompassing "G.A.A." would work.
The Irish Sports label is an insult. They have a name - why not call them by it? I've never heard anyone refer to the G.A.A. before as Irish Sports. Again if this forum is intended for discussion on topics pertaining to Ireland, which may include the G.A.A. but may also include discussion on Irish politics, Irish economics, Irish TV, the League of Ireland, etc why not call it 'Irish' the same way we have a North American forum and an Australian forum for those regions? |

I am pretty sure the Dubs themselves think of Croke Park as their home ground even in championship games when it gets to the semi final stages. They certainly took umbrage when they came out second for a match against Tyrone and wanted to join the Tyrone lads kicking the ball into the same goals in their warm up.
