To be honest I watched this (in my GUFC jersey) in Jono's in Ilford and thought we played rubbish. Too many wides. The only reason we deserved it was that Mayo were worse... indeed the consesnus in the pub afterwards was that neither will get any further...Quote:

Poor game from a technical perspective. Neither team will win the All-Ireland. Way too many wasted chances by both sides and poor give aways.
There was quite a few wearing Utd jersey's,including me.I just wonder do they all go to TerrylandQuote:

isn't it about time you lot started following a real game (like hurling or gaelic football) instead of watching a foreign game with a bunch of fairies falling about at the slightest hint of contact.
face it, lads - ''soccer'' is dead in ireland. and the fai are laughable.
gaillimh abu! :cool:
Couldn't agree more!Quote:

Lads,
it was a poor game of football from too bad teams and i doubt either team will progressed any further to be honest, well done to peter ford, i think its about the county board gets a right manager in mayo!!!
A terrible performance from MAYO, am gutted looks like another year waiting for sam :(
Very poor match, especially when you look at the quality of Football in the other two finals..
It says a lot for how behind Connaght are in the standard of football in the country.. there was the time when we were up with the best but the standard has gone downhill fast and something has to be done about it...
Part of the problem is that there are only really two football teams in connaght because the rest aren't even worth mentioning, with doesn't give us much competition and thus the standard stays low, if we were playing the likes of Tyrone, Armagh, Kerry ect regularly I'd say it would be a very different story IMO
Bad football from both sides but I have to say Mayo were worse and considering they made the final last year they were embarrassing!!
At least it will keep them quiet for another year they have to be the worst winners I have ever come across.. It was great to see them all mouth before the game talking about the hammering we're going to get and not a peep out of them after the final whistle.. :D apart from blaming the ref for everything and it being nothing to do with the fact that they were crap :rolleyes:
Pity all the lads on the pitch because it was a scorcher of a day and not a breath of wind in the stadium.. I had to sit down in terraces repeatedly because of the heat and I am a glowing red colour today because of it!!
Was very surprised to see the amount of GUFC jerseys there.. Especially since I get abuse when I wear my GAA jersey to terryland :eek:
And you still will !! ;) :)Quote:

At least the GAA are organised and run their clubs and county teams efficiently :mad:
Try getting the crowds at terryland that you get at Galway County matches and you can talk then
Whats wrong with the way GUFC is run? After years of crap that we had to put up with, the structure now in place is one of the best in the country.Quote:

As for the crowds? Ask them to go but all you'll here is "english sport feck them!" :rolleyes: but they are the same people that spend hundreds to go see Man U, Liverpool....etc.
Was it not up until a few weeks ago everyone was calling for heads to roll and that the board is not telling the Fans what's going on, no press realese to us ect and Stephen was being slated for poor desisions and that the team weren't getting on with each other.....Quote:

Yes they do annoy me too but I wouldn't call them Two faced really, in many rural community's it is the local GAA club that brings people together and most of them will go to support their clubs and under age teams because of this..Quote:

You can like both you know, it is allowed it won't make you any less a fan
RE the bad language.. I would like to see some of the fellas calm it down a bit especially when there are young children about, or are you not able to support the team without cursing every two minutes.. Some of the things they come out with are horrible and disgusting and for kids to go and hear that is not on at all..
Gaaaa Football has no skill to it what so ever! pick it up and kick it!! enough said, hurling? hit the ball as hard as you can! Boring!! :)
I curse constantly at all matches, so I say that if the family sections of the crowds dont want to here me sit somewhere else, theres plenty of empty seats around!! the vocal section of the supporters have always stayed around the centre of the stand and long may it continue. Anyway, those same people mightn't recognise it, but the Gaaaaa matches are probably worse for the bad language !! :eek:
I'm sorry but just watch a top level Football or Hurling match and you will see skill there that you will NOT even come close to in the EL 1st division..Quote:

All you have to do is play Hurling or football and see what still is required... :rolleyes:
and sure if your going by your descriptions of the sports soccer is just kicking a ball.. You seem to be a very biased person, if you open your eyes you might actually enjoy other sports you know :rolleyes:
There is no set Family area in Terryland and how are families and people with children supposed to know that someone they are going to sit near is going to be roaring ignorant, rude and vulgar words..
The odd swear word is ok, but some of the things so called fans come out with are a disgrace and as someone who attends both GAA and soccer matches I don't think GAA matches are half as bad, it is a more family orientated atmosphere at the GAA matches
are you 14?Quote:

then, when you went to college, the only sport you would participate in was indoor 5-a-side footie. *no cuts and bruises there, this is cool and i can kick all the nerdy kids heads in if i want to feel like a big man.*
am i close? :cool:
Yes ! I am 14 and I have completed college !!! :DQuote:

As I have said I just dont see the attraction of them anymore?? :confused: I cant even watch the sport on tele! I guess just some people are like that!!
As for Eire06/
If it is that great how come the sport isnt been played in virtually every country, in ever housing development in the world. To say that football has no skill, to me says you dont understand the sport at all?? To say that the great Maradona, Pele, Best ....etc had no skill is pretty much sad :rolleyes:
Terry I never said soccer had no skill I was describing football in the terms you were describing Hurling and football..Quote:

And Hurling and football is quickly being spread around the world with new teams and leagues coming up every day.. In the US, Japan and around Europe, look into it you'd be suprised at its growing popularity. :D
Also you say you say even though you played it, there in no skill in GAA sports.. You must have been crap at it then and the lack of skill was in you not in the sport.. Don't slag off the sport because you were no good at it ;)
Yes, I was useless!! :rolleyes: that must of been why they made me captain! because I was crap !! :rolleyes:Quote:

we only have you word for that :rolleyes:Quote:

camogie is also very popular throughout connaught and ulster!
