Survey on use of language in football in Ireland
Hi there, I'm carrying out a survey on language in football as part of a university dissertation, and whether use of language can affect participation or attendance in the Irish game - whether as fans or as players, officials, or mentors.
It's all anonymous so nobody will be identified. It should only take a few mins to answer, and I stress the whole thing is anonymous. It should take less than five minutes. If you can help, thanks a lot!
Survey link is below, with a formal explanatory letter for ethical reasons:
Are you a football fan or player? Or are you interested in the game? As part of my studies, I am carrying out research on the use of language in Irish football and if it can affect participation.
I am requesting you to complete a brief questionnaire, which should take less than five minutes to complete, on your experiences of language in Irish soccer. No identifying information will be collected from the survey. If you do choose to partake, your participation will remain anonymous. To participate in this study you must be aged 18 years of age or older.

Please be aware you may find some of your responses deal with incidents which may trigger negative or upsetting memories. At the end of this letter are contact details for a list of support services helping people who may have suffered negatively.
