Team names as they would appear on TG4

Gimme a C!.....

Or Maybe "Tabhair dom a 'C'!"
Actually, I forgot a bit!

It's Cumann Peil Coláiste Ollscoil na hÉireann Baile Átha Cliath, Ollscoil Náisiúnta na hÉireann Baile Átha Cliath, Baile Átha Cliath. And if someone knows the word for "Association football" as opposed to just "football", we'd get a bit longer again.

N'fheadar cad iad na leaganacha atá in úsáid ag TG4 fhéin agus níl sa mhéid atá idir lúibíní agam ach buille fé thuairim, ach oibrímse sa Bhrainse Logainmneacha agus is iad seo a leanas leaganacha cearta na logainmneacha, pé scéal é:



Bohemians: (An Cumann Peile Bóithéimeach, chomh fada is cuimhin liom, a bhí scríte i nGaeilge ar saghas plaic nó scáthán beag de chuid an chlub fhéin -- official merchandise, like -- a bhí ag cara liom, fear mór Bohs; Na Bóithéimigh)
Bray Wanderers: Fánaithe Bhré
Cork City: Cathair Chorcaí
Derry City: Cathair Dhoire
Drogheda United: Droichead Átha Aontaithe
Galway United: Gaillimh Aontaithe
Longford Town: Baile an Longfoirt
Shamrock Rovers: (Ruagairí na Seamróige)
Shelbourne: Síol Bhrain
Sligo Rovers: Ruagairí Shligigh
St. Patrick's Athletic: (Cumann Lúthchleas Naomh Pádraig)
UCD: (Coláiste na hOllscoile / An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath; bhí an dá rud in úsáid ag Roinn na Gaeilge ansúd nuair a bhíos-sa ann).

Athlone Town: Baile Átha Luain
Cobh Ramblers: (pé focal atá acu le haghaidh "Ramblers") an Chóibh
Dundalk: Dún Dealgan
Finn Harps: (Cláirseacha na Finne, más i ndiaidh (abhainn) na Finne a ainmníodh iad)
Kildare County: Contae Chill Dara
Kilkenny City: Cathair Chill Chainnigh
Monaghan United: Muineachán Aontaithe
Waterford United: Port Láirge Aontaithe
Wexford Youths: Ógánaigh Loch Garman


Anois, mar sin, conas is féidir liom an username amaideach seo a athrú :confused: .

Hmm, Irish for "Association Football". Based on my memory of Irish teachers, it would translate as "Peil Úfásach Sasannigh"

You're right but you need to say 'the Ramblers of Cobh' in Irish, so you have to use the genitive case of an Cóbh. Just like the Irish for Sligo is Sligeach, but Sligo Rovers in Irish is Ruagairí Shligigh, 'Rovers of Sligo'.

Cobh Ramblers would be <Whatever TG4 use for 'Ramblers'> an Chóibh.

Actually, in football-club terminology in England back in the day, 'Ramblers' and 'Wanderers' and 'Rovers' — insofar as they had any meaning at all — would have been pretty much identical in sense to one another (i.e., fánaithe), I would have thought. Ruagairí is more 'wild rovers' than 'rovers'; I'm not sure if that's what the gentlemen of Blackburn and the rest of them had in mind.

my irish isnt great but dont you pronounce it the way its spelt cobh ramblers our do you have to reverse it and say the ramblers of cobh, wouldnt that be confusing:confused: :confused:
people know more than me :confused:

[pineapple stu]

That's nothing to do with how you pronounce it? :confused:

Irish is often structured the reverse of English. Hence, for example, fear an phoist - the man of the post - is postman.
