  • It's a beautiful little town , I love it and it has a huge part of me in it also , I spent so long running freely in that town when you come from London and don't have the space send freedom that those little towns offer as a youngster,

    Y'see this is what GAA is really all about, you go off to the county ground on a Sunday afternoon to watch gaelic football but it is so tediously average that you stand around talking to some randomer about where your family might have met their neighbour in the 1920's.

    "Shure 'tis mighty!"

    Anyone for a cuppa tea?

    gaa football personally I really enjoy it, the Mrs is from Westmeath so sort of follow them although there not great, went to the leinster final last year, good day out and excuse for a drink up, croke park is a great stadium, its good that its getting more coverage on sky now as it is still an amateur game.

    My Dad won an all-Ireland Minors (U21?) Gaelic Football Medal in 1954 before coming over to England. I've played a couple of games here in the USA but you are always a marked man with an English accent. My cousin Keith Barr won an all-Ireland with Dublin. So it runs in the family

    Only just seen this thread, must say GAA is a cracking sport.

    My sister moved to Dublin 4 years ago and I saw a semi final at croke park a couple of years later. Great all action game.

    A pal of mine watched the events last Saturday after the Liverpool v bArca friendly and was taken in by it aswell. Im off on a trip on the 28th August but will try to find a tv that will show it.

    Come on the Dubs!
