Go out and get some fresh air like a good lad.
standard. Next.
Fucking train broke down en route… Should have stayed drinking in the railway bar
i think it was that year for the Munster final in Killarney, i got on a train in Colbert Station to go out to the junction and get on the connection for Killarney. We get out to the junction, no joining train. CIE had to send out buses from Colbert Station to collect us, in back passed Colbert Station and to be met with miles of a tailback outside Killarney. We had to walk the last few miles to Killarney and missed the throw in, and we left on the early train planning to get hapes of pints below in Killarney
Different beast this year with the backdoors taken out
Did you ever play knockout senior championship twice within the one week?
I wouldn’t fancy it myself
One was intermediate.
I played a national colleges quarter final on a thursday and the semi final on a Saturday. Both 90 minutes.
Ballysteen a mental price.
Genuinely.
I thought it would be 11/10 - 10/11
In soccer I take it?
Sure you could bate ballysteen with your cap
Yeah, when the evenings get longer youd regularly play 3 times a week
I had it as 4/5 vs 5/4
I wouldn’t equate the two, and I accept that colleges is a decent level but it’s not the deepest or hardest-fought of contests.
I would play two or three soccer matches in a week and it wouldn’t knock much out of me compared to one championship match.
Have you ever played in the munster senior league or the limerick junior premier? It’s no cakewalk. Youd play sunday/wednesday/sunday with training and work.
Not saying it’s a doddle, but it’s apples and oranges. Senior champ is much more flat to the mat, and it’s mentally a bigger deal than playing week-to-week league games
That level of soccer is flat to the mat, for every league match. You’re not playing with or against lads that are having a laugh.
Young, fit lads should have absolutely no problem playing a match with over 3 days rest
Meh. I’ll defer to the likes of @TreatyStones that would have a better idea.
I’d include @backinatracksuit but everything comes easy to him regardless
I’ve played an awful lot of both.
There is absolutely no comparison in playing a hard working position on a football team versus on a soccer team.
A soccer match is 30 minutes longer. A whole half of a football match. Midfielders, full backs and wide players cover a hell of a lot of ground in that time.
The GAA lads think they are very elite and they do everything better and harder.
I didnt play gaa to as high a level as soccer and only ever played in peripheral positions, but I found it awfully boring. The ball might only come in your way a couple of times
