QuoteYes, it's brainwashing.
Or marketing/advertising or whatever you want to call it.
It's what sky do to promote soccer.
It's what the NBA do to promote basketball,
etc.
[Restricting] the numbers going to soccer games is in the interest of the GAA.
So brainwashing it is. Or can you think of any other way we could manipulate the little feckers' minds?
Unbelievable.
I blame the Christian Brothers.

agree with Liamon to a degree
Croke Park is the finest stadium in Ireland, and one of the best i've seen anywhere i've travelled. if the GAA exclude football and rugby, the only way a kid can get to play on our greatest stage is through Hurling or Gaelic football. Forget that compromise rubbish.
i do however feel that it's inevitable that rugby and football will be played in Croker though, with (last i heard) euro4m running costs per year, they will be forced to open their gates, or the grassroots game will suffer through the redirection of those funds.
If it is 4 mill a year to maintain Corker, then the GAA may eventually be forced to allow soccer in. Given the choice, I still think they'll try opening it up to concerts/ crucifixions/ use as a car park rather than soccer.
I would like to see Ireland play there though, so fingers crosed the GAA goes bankrupt!

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Yep, if this is what you're up against in a soccer forum there's not much hope really.
Enough.
