theres a lot more people out there than you think that can hold their own - and loads of other who after a few days with the cupla focal and away they go again

its still in your head if you were any good at it in secondary - just a matter of waking it up again

Dundalk: Dún Dealgan

Bohemians - Na Tincéirí ?
edit - got it. Its actually Na Boihéamach

Shel(l)s - Na Sliogáin

Gaillimh Aontaithe. Gaillimh is only spelled with an e at the end when preceded by "na" i think

Chlairsigh na Fhinne!

I suspect that Shelbourne ultimately derives its name from the Wexford barony of Shelburne, a Norman area of jurisdiction that you seldom hear of outside the county.

As far as I can recall, Shelbourne is generally translated as Síol na mBroinn in the area in Dublin. However, in current circumstances, I feel Síol na mBocht may be a more appropriate translation.

William, 2nd Earl of Shelbourne

Luimneach Triocha Seacht- but they'll probably just write Luimneach 37.

So am I alone in thinking that proper nouns should never be translated? Shamrock Rovers is Shamrock Rovers in any language. Otherwise you could end up with a bilingual mess like Bayern Munich. No one in Italy calls AC Milan AC Milano.

Have the new-age gaeilgóirs not got their hands on that one yet and changed it to "Longfort"? Every other "phort" seems to be changed the "fort" (e.g. aerfort), can't quite understand why.

ta me ok

UCD = Coláiste Átha Cliath?

I vaguely remember in the dark depths of my mind (don't go there :D) Bóithéimigh for them.

I was told a few years back, before doing a brief interview on T4, not to
use Gaillimh Aontaithe, no-one in the Gaeltacht would use that team, they would just say "Galway United".

Sé ollscoil an Ghaeilge ar university

colaiste would be a direct translation of the word college

ollscoil for university

so its colaiste ollscoil bail atha cliath
