I have been in Croker on a few occasions and it is wonderful but dont try to tell me that the GAA have built that on their own. As for their local stadia...yes they are great but what I mean about backward is that politically they were stuck in a timewarp for donkeys and other than a few pockets around the world it is very much a parocial sport. Thats what I mean by backward.

Gailege Uladh abu ! :D

The diference is that in the north we reduce the number of syllables used in words e.g. the name Ciaran would be pronounced 'Keern' (one syllable) in the north, and 'Kee-ar-on' or 'Keer-on' in the south.

But no-one in the north would pronounce 'hole' as 'heeel'.... :confused:

C�n saghas r�im�is � sin!?!??

Ciar�n = Keern?? only in the mind of retards *can i say that?;) *
Keern is said by those accustomed to the anglicised version of the name or those ignorant to the purpose of fada's...:(

the point is it's ciar- �-n... it's not a dialect that makes the name different, it's the brain speaking it:)

That is a way of spelling the name. I remember I chose that for my Confirmation name.

I think it's one way of spelling it in the same way as "Keeeern" is one way of pronouncing it...

I just hate the whole parocial feelin of the GAA & how backwards they r & tbh feel that if we use an Irish phrase to name the league that we are putting ourselves very much into our parish instead

when you dont know what you are talking about, dont talk. ;)

there are as many if not more backward people "into soccer" where im from than gaelic and around the country as a whole.

Eire A & Eire B is so simple it could work.
The I League is kinda catchy, like the J League n the likes.
Dont like The 'Sponsor Premiership'. It would sound 2nd rate
to the English's 'The Premiership'. Everything the english do is
The This, The That. The Fa Cup - The Ashes - The Premiership
The Fa - im sure the list goes on, should it not be - The FAE
(football ass of english). It really annoys me, so anything before
'The eircom Premiership' or what ever.

Actually, it's The Barcleycard Premiership or whatever. The difference is that they ignore the sponsor, where as the sponsor ignores us.

It's "The FA Cup sponsored by AXA" too.

I'll collate the suggestions anyway and get the best/most serious ones together and send them in shortly.
