International Football vs The GAA

[Eire06]

An Ireland game would always come first for me, although I must admit a game against China isnt the most attractive proposition in the world

How about Cork Vs Kerry in an all Ireland Final or Ireland V China in a friendly

2) You can play for Ireland even if you're in the British army, RUC, 2nd
generation Irish or adopted Irish (Tony Cascarinnnnnnnnnnooo).

You get a cup named after you in hurling if you're 2G.

But for some reason (Mainly Croker) Soccer supporters seem to be turing more and more anti-GAA..

Ther is an awful lot of anti-GAA support around these days....

A fair bit of which might vanish should the GAA let Football into "their" (tax-payer-funded) ground.... almost all of which might vanish if they did that and were a bit less exclusive about their membership.

Ive never been a fan of the GAA, like Golf and Horse Racing ive never really got a buzz from watching it. I dont have a major problem with it, but not letting our Footie team play there seems petty on their part (especially when they let American Football and Music concerts in). The fact is football and rugby are the only significant chances Irish Team Sports have of a major international showcase, and the GAA are only harming Irish fans and Irish international sport with their attitude.
