If you think a gaa player is as fit as a pro soccer player I give up

Professional soccer players get to spend half the day in bed or resting. GAA players have to go to work

I was only taking the piss. Iāve no idea tbh.
Iād be interested to see an intercounty wing back or wing forward at gaelic football up against a soccer player in a fitness test
They are. Geraghty went over to arsenal and blew the cunts away with his physique and scores in fitness tests
Donāt forget Larry Tompkins, and that was 30 years ago
That was 20 odd years ago so hardly relevant to the argument
There were no hamstrings in my day.

Yeah gaa has gotten more professional since so the gaa lads are probably all fitter
Itās actually not about the running why they are better runners. Itās about the jogging around and even walking they do go a longer period.
They are in an aerobic zone much longer
They donāt.
Thatās utter nonsense
What fitness test???
And what position soccer player?
The bleep test. The 10 metre sprint gates. Standing verticals. Flexibility measurements. Body fat measurements.
Whatās that one they do on the treadmill with the mask on?
The soccer player would absolutely destroy them.
The VO2 is the treadmill one,
This is a nonsense debate, many GAA players would score better and b=vice versa, ridiculous.

Flexibility?
Not a great quality.
Most elite sportsmen have incredible stability and decent-ish mobility
Itās a retarded discussion.
Would we compare carpenters and electricians in who is able to dig a hole faster???

A LOI footballer and a footballer from an elite county???
