Stick hurling is not popular in Dublin, and thatâs despite the GGA pouring money into the place. The GGA have had coaches paid for in the schools now for decades and even the economic migration of all those muldoons in the 60s hasnât made much difference.
Soccer still is the undisputed number 1 sport in Dublin. Gaelic and rugby next and pretty much tied. You will see people in Dublin wearing soccer or rugby jerseys, pubs prioritise soccer or rugby. Kids on greens or roads are still mostly playing soccer with far more rugby balls floating about that 20 years ago.
The kids playing with hurls were always dragged out by their dad, probably some Cork lad settled up here.
Iâve posted it before but I doubt it scratches the top 5 sports in Dublin.
I think it was an understandable and minor error on his part and the correction was in the spirit of shared knowledge rather than an attack on the posters character or knowledge - the A and B qualifier system is labyrynthine and only sad fucks with a lot of time on their hands such as myself have taken the trouble to actually do out the permutations as to which teams cannot meet each other.
Real dublin gaa fans want nothing to do with their hurling all irelands, i think out of all the hurlers that won medals maybe 2 iirc were from dublin. But do we have any real dublin gaa fans on here, not just jumped up bandwagoners? spidey, anyone else?
The irony is that the Galway people on here who are most bitter about Dublin and try to portray Dublin supporters as âbandwagonersâ are the very ones who attend no matches themselves.
How many GAA matches have you attended in, say, the last two years?
