Its getting worse ! Georgie claims in todays Sun that we wants to go back playing hurling ! But only after "he wins the league and a few cups with City"
We won't be losing him for the forseeable future so

Carraig Utd beat Bluebell 3-2 today so no replay anywayOriginally Posted by The Donie Forde
East Cork isn't there a hurl.ie you could be a member of ?
EL grounds are like good episodes of The Simpsons, no matter how many times you see them they're still funny
To call people scum behind a pen name says a lot about the person who scripted the comment. For your infromation Carrick is in County Tipperary and if a paided Premier Eircom League team can not beat an unpaid beat a junior team well it sad. Might also interest you to note Pat Dolan wants to sign one of the "scum" your speak about. Cork City are a great club so are Carrick United both clubs deserve genuine supporters not sad sick comment like above. No wonder few go to Eircom League games with comments like that.
whats "paided" when its at home?
Not being clever or anything but Aussie Rules is mainly a melbourne game. More than half the league comes from there. In Sydney Aussie rules players are regarded as poofs and Rugby League is the main sport. (By the way if you get a chance to see the NRL on sky sports its much better than the Rugby League played in England, class game). Rugby Union is the only National sport in Australia. But as I said i'm not trying to be smart, just setting the record straight.
Anyways, EastCork, have you asked yourself why Setanta swapped stickfighting for Aussie Rules
What about cricket ?
and sheep shearing....
Too bloody roight mate...
Did I hit a nerve by insulting Aussie Rules? Or are you on the fence? Anyway, whatever the truth i can't exactly ignore what you said.
Firstly my point that there is a "belief held in Australia" seems to be the premise for your defence of Aussie Rules. OK one could interpret me as believing that this may be a belief ALL over Australia as you did but i was referring to supporters and analysts of the game (especially analysts cos I read it in a paper there) who coincidentally live in Australia.
Just on that point - your quibble with my sense of geography was kind of undermined by your quote: "Aussie Rules is mainly a Melbourne game". I'm sure supporters of Geelong and historians of the VFL in general will see that as somehow confined and narrow.
Secondly - to quote razor "what about cricket?" - for me there is no question mark - it IS the national game. every small town has an oval - every state / territory plays it. its of a general interest to most, if not the main interest, and is as close to being a national sport as it gets - although that definition with a country like Australia is a little risky.
what is certain is that Rugby Union is NOT the national sport - it is, similar to League, an East Coast code. For example, Union is almost non-existent in Adelaide (almost - had an Adelaide friend who represented Australia when he was young) and in Perth
Footie in those places (and of course Victoria) equals Aussie Rules while Footie on the East Coast equals Rugby League (and interestingly, Footie in New Zooland equals Rugby Union).
I am open to correction on another issue i take with your post - i find it hard to believe Aussie rules players would be seen as “poofs” in Sydney or anywhere, even taking into account the Melbourne/Sydney rivalry but if you say so...
Just to clear it up - Aussie Rules is rubbish - so incredibly scrappy. Used to go see Crows and Port Adelaide. They're only kidding themselves those Australians... I mean those Victorians, those South Ozzies, those Perth/Freo heads, those Franchised Sydney peoples from North Melbourne - did I leave anyone out? have we reached a politically correct compromise?
I've noticed one thing over the last couple of months from coming on here, ya don't FCUK with Vito unless you know your stuff!!!!Too bloody roight mate...

True!! Union is mainly East Coast. I stand corrected!!
They are seen as poofters in Sydney. And they are!!! State of Origin. Now thats a game.
