15 Good reasons why the GAA is better than soccer

1) The GAA player who played in front of 80,000 at the weekend will be teaching your children, selling you meat or fixing your drains on Monday morning. The soccer player who plays in front of 80,000 will be moaning about playing too many games and will be trying to sell you his personalized brand of leisure wear.

2) GAA nicknames are better. Soccer players just add a Y to their surnames

3) Cork vs Kerry is a real derby. What does Utd. Vs City mean to Ronaldo or Sibierski??

4) How many soccer players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer eleven. One to stick it in and ten to surround and kiss him after he does it.

5) Soccer players go to the papers after a game. GAA players go to the pub.

6) John Terry would run a mile if he came up against Francie Bellew.

7) GAA teams are numbered 1-15. A soccer team reads like the lottery results.

All soccer players wear shin pads. Some hurlers wear helmets.

9) Television runs soccer. Schoolteachers run the GAA.

10) The GAA is about where you're from. Soccer is about who you like.

11) No segregation at GAA games.

12) No soccer team has a nickname quite as lovely as the Fighting Cocks
of Carlow.

13) Bubble perms never made it to Croke Park.

14) A scoreless draw in the GAA would be quite a novelty.

15) Roman Abramovich can buy the League…… You can't buy Liam Mac!!!

A bit limp
Hurling yes, football no.
Sawker is the universal game which more than any has united people of different races/religions/geographical areas/means throughout the world.
Some of these reasons were piss poor
Cork v Kerry this year by too was nearly as crap as the Manchester derby.

These were made up by Tom Humphries 10 years ago. They've just changed some of the references e.g. Roman Abramovich for Jack Walker. It used to be Vinnie Jones would run a mile from Brian Lohan.

fair enough Stevie but some hit the nail on the head

no 10 sticks out a mile

10) The GAA is about where you're from. Soccer is about who you like.

Another reason:

You can act like a knacker on the field...i.e break someones hand in hurling to make the bone shoot through the skin...or drop a knee on someone's head i.e. Tyrone vs Armagh and get away with it.
Unlike soccer where you get sent to prison(Duncan Ferguson) or go to court(Lee Bowyer).

And another:
Handing a piece of paper to the ref after coming on as a sub is WAY better than those electric board thingies!!!!

Rugby is better hands down than bothe anyway

strange how you castigate gaa for violence then proclaim a more violent sport its superior
??

[raZor]

The cases of people getting away with onfield violence in rugby is rare...the O'Driscoll incident aside examples are made of onfield thuggery....a fight is one thing a battering is another....McRae got 6months for battering O Gara

[POL]

gas the way Brian O'Driscoll nearly had his head taken off by that French cunt last year in a disgusting incident, but its hardly mentioned, Paul O'Connell can roll around Cardiff throwing puches but yet this is alright, yet every incident in the GAA is magnified a hundred times.
