Went into 3 different pubs in Dublin city yesterday to catch the 2nd half of Kilkenny Limerick hurling.
First two had Olympic Basketball on all their screens and the 3rd had the hurling on a small old TV in the corner but had Olympics on the two huge Plasma screens.
Is there no interest for hurling in our capital?

Wish I'd known about it when looking for the club finals while there was 6 nations on! That was a mission unaccomplished!

Aye shocking stuff altogether!!!!!!

That's another thing I hate;' GAA men' who would rather watch soccer of indeed the rugby over football or hurling. Take for example last year Dublin were against Donegal in the semis; I think Man Utd it was were playing a match and a few of us lads were watching the Donegal match on one of the three screens in my local. The other 2 had the soccer; which is quite normal for that bar. But slap bang in the middle of the utd supporters were the committee of the university GAA football team, including 2 donegal men. I seriously have no time for people like that; they are up there with the people I really despise the most

1.Soccer GAA wannabes
2.Bankers
3.Right-Wingers
4. Dishonesty.......

I could be here for a while................. need to take a shower!

A lot of "Down fans" stayed at home to watch Man Utd in the champions league final last year when their county was playing Armagh in the 1st rd of the championship...not so much that it "grinds my gears"..it "sickens my hole"...same cnuts will be first in the queue for tickets if we progress this year.

Derry v Donegal 2002, the match started during the Irish v Spain game. Mind it rightly me my da and my uncle left the bar and headed up the hill to Clones wile all the cnuts of the day stayed and watched it. Place was empty when game started.........if I had my way the gates to the ground would of been closed and they would been locked out.

I happened to be in Newry that day and had two free tickets for the Armagh Down game in the Athletic Grounds. I literally couldn't give them away to any of the natives. Shocking it was.

You are a far greater Irish man than any of those soccerball guys.


btw Ireland v Spain in the last 16 of the World Cup or a pulling and dragging Ulster football game....

This would be slightly above average for Reno. A nice chest (!) full of beer, gatorade, miniature lickers etc...

If only she was outside of the football and hurling grounds wearing that outfit in her wee van shouting........

'Hats, Scarves and Headbands, Get your Hats, Scarves and Headbands!'

You know what.......... I think I would prefer the oul fellas doing it and I don't think she could pull off a Dublin accent either
