you missed bits

Soccer was the most popular sport in Dublin. Following the spread of the game to Dublin in the 1880s, it quickly took root in the city. In 1911 there were 31 pitches in use in the Phoenix Park (see return for Park Constable John Connell); 29 of them were used for soccer, just two for gaelic football. Dublin teams, such as Bohemians, played against the professional teams of Belfast in the Irish League.

Bohemians, based at Dalymount Park were an avowedly amateur outfit, drawing heavily on past-pupils of Castleknock College, but Shelbourne Football Club turned professional in 1906 in an attempt to match the northern teams in the Irish League. Their success in winning the Irish cup that year brought huge celebrations in Ringsend and Sandymount, and they did it again in 1911, when victory was inspired by their best player, Val Harris of Erne St.

The GAA was only established in 1884

Where did I say soccer wasn’t popular . Soccer always was and always will be the most popular sport in Dublin

So Shelbourne are the real people’s club ???

During the latter half of the Georgian era (ca. 1750-1830), Dublin was widely considered to be the second city of the British Empire, although by the turn of the 20th century the city had been eclipsed by several rapidly industrialising cities in Britain.[[2]]
