Soccer match on a GAA thread???

Where is it held? What is the new business line Croker have tapped into?

Be a great way to grow the game here. Not a fan of either club but might take the young one. Haven't been to a soccer game in Croke Park so it'll be interesting to see what way the atmosphere carries.

Grow what game? Soccer? This literally rips money out of soccer, not one cent goes to the grassroots and casual fans who might have gone to a real soccer game will go here instead.

The FAI need to sign off on this game and provide referees. If they have they will be questioned internally. If not we could see some craic.

Not sure of the rules but why do they? It's not in an FAI stadium, I assume they will not need FAI stewards or referees.

80% of the posts in this forum are about the politics of another country sure lol.

Any soccer game in their jurisdiction is under their remit. Remember all that Dublin Dons bullshit?

Stewards no, but of course referees.

Leeds have a quite nasty fanbase.
Hopefully they behave themselves.

Man United have a nasty element also

The Men in Black are fairly adept at the pavement dancing too.

Nah its the Passover so nothing to next week. But none of this is related to a scheduled football match in the summer...

Be interesting to see if both teams bring a decent squad. I suspect it'll be like other tours where it's a mixture of reserves and senior players.

50 for the Hill, 80 for a seat. Bit expensive for a friendly IMO plus my ould boy is on holiday that week so probably won't go. Leeds vs Milan was a decent day out last year but obviously non-competitive takes the sting out of things.
