Nah, there isn’t a single ball game shitter than the duo of rugby and Gaelic football.

Aussie rules is exactly the same as gaelic but with more Australians so surely worse

Hmm yeah, I was wondering about the mention of ‘A-League’ in the other thread, when it would almost certainly just be me posting (unless we can get Theo following the Brisbane Scum…?).

I mean I was literally banned for talking Scottish football once, I’m sure in jest but it didn’t feel particularly funny.

Alright Jason Puncheon

For an actual Jose quote on the young players on tour: “For young players, it’s fantastic. I always bring a few, even when the squad is complete, like I did with Scott & Demi last year. You get to know them better. It’s a good way for them to grow up & get closer. This time they are half of the squad & for them it’s an amazing experience."

Doesn’t fit the narrative very well though, does it.

(While we’re here, anyone know anything about Legia Warsaw midfielders? We just signed Michał Kopczyński on loan…)

Gaelic football provided one of my favourite in appropriate cultural moments couple of years ago

Just to set the scene: we were in County Longford for the Irish bit of my Granny’s burial, during which it was absolutely pissing it down. Light entertainment arrived when the priest should have said “and we think of her children, Alec, James and Rowena” but instead came out with “her children, Alec, James and Robena”

Everyone then goes to the pub and it’s the Dublin vs Mayo final. I’ve never seen anyone use as much bad language as the priest was after it got to the second half and he was a few pints in, screaming at the tv oblivious to all the children who were there

“come on Mayo, fucking Dublin cunts!”

Honestly, the fact that sport can do that to a catholic priest… it’s no wonder all the mad shit happens when normal people are involved

I’d be interested in any Damien Delaney news.
