Poll
Question: ONLY if England make it through to the final, which game do you watch?
Option 1: Kerry v Galway in Super 8s votes: 36
Option 2: England v TBC in WC Final votes: 19
Title: WC or S8, which will you watch?
Post by: thewobbler on July 04, 2018, 04:49:07 PM
Only if it's England, for as much as we love/loathe/admire/despise them, it is the same players we (pretty much all) cheer in week in, week out in different colours.

It's 4pm on a Sunday evening, and the Super 8s is on RTE1, and a World Cup final featuring "them" is on RTE2. To which is you attention more attuned?

Are we sure it's Kerry v Galway on the Sunday and not Donegal v Dublin?

Have FIFA said yet if they're moving the world cup final to avoid a clash with the super 8s?

the world cup final no matter who is in it, the gaa if it was the final or semi final. its basically just 1 of 3 quarter finals for those teams in the group, even kerry or galway fans wont travel in big numbers.

Super 8.
Haven't watch one full game in world cup yet
Mind you if the football is one sided crap I might turn over. Then again most world cup finals are crap too so I would probably turn back.

Yep.

Rest of the family will be more into the World Cup. So we'll watch the Final live. Then afterwards I'll watch Kerry v Galway without knowing the result.

GAA on the big TV. 0-0 draw with extra time and pens on the lap-top.

Post by: J70 on July 05, 2018, 08:23:01 PM
WC Final.

Even if it was Donegal it would be a tight one - I'd probably watch WC final live as the GAA result would be easier to avoid.

Perhaps a better question would be: If you were offered a choice of i) a sumptuous three course feast from Patrick Guilbaud's or ii) a chips, rice and curry sauce three in one from a Chinese take away in Dorset Street, which would you choose?
