Replying To peiledoir20: "Scotland had a similar frantic finish in their game last night - great to see them qualify after 28 years. If we don't qualify I'll be rowing in behind them given our close ties and mutual glee in seeing the English beat!" Probably just pettiness on my part but I've no time for the Scots fans at all. Booing everyone and everything (especially celtic players but that's another story) and the "look at us in our tartan, aren't we mad crack altogether". Final straw for me was the rousing boos and jeers Amhran na bhfiann received in Hampden a few years back.

They literally had a vote for their own independence but their own tightness wouldn't allow them to do it!

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Not talking about fans so much - we all have our clowns - but there is huge and long standing hatred between Dublin FAI and ourselves. No idea if that is case elsewhere.
They deliberately refused to use Hill 16 on tickets when we foolishly let them in. "Northern Terrace"!!
Some may mock me, but you don't sneer at our history and expect us to be overjoyed with your occasional success!" There are about 10% of idiots on either side that feel a massive antipathy from the soccer side to the GAA and vice versa in Dublin.
There are clearly in the minority on either side though.
In fact there is a huge crossover in support for the 4 Dublin LoI sides and the Dubs. The vast majority of attendees at Dalymount, Richmond, Tolka Pk and Tallaght Stadium are regular attendees to support the Dubs in Croker from my experience.
A lot of GAA clubs work well enough with their soccer counterparts locally. There are some cases where they don't of course, but seeing as soccer and GAA are so linked in Dublin both need to work with one another, particularly in more disadvantaged areas.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "I hope i am not being presumptious but i guess he might be referring to fact rugby supporters allowed bring alcohol to seats?
Personally i think that is terrible idea. If you can't last a short time without a drink, stay in pub.
Still, it tells its own tale does it not of how both fans are regarded!" No need for alcohol to be sold at all in Croke Park. It survived long enough without any bars. I wonder too if and how much it affected trade for pubs in the vicinity of Croke Park?

For all the Scots talk about hating the English when they had a chance to vote for their independence enough of them wouldn't take it, they thought they might be a few bob worse off and they were too scared to break the umbilical cord to London, I know big Celtic fans over there who wouldn't vote for Scottish independence yet they go around with tricolours and sing Ra songs and profess to hate all things English, total hypocrites imo.

I even see it here in Donegal were I'd say a lot of soccer fans are very anti GAA, it's a weird state of mind wherever it originates.

Replying To tireoghainabu: "Is that the time the doctor/ radio presenter raised a hullabaloo because the " rugger toffs" who obviously are much more cultured than the rest of us weren't allowed to bring drinks back to their seats?" Well, you're not allowed to bring drink to the seat there at any rugby match, so can't say if the one I'm referring to was the exact one where that happened.
Beer in the seats was allowed at the recent NFL American Football match, and that was newsworthy enough to get a mention in The Irish Times and several other places too:

Replying To Pikeman96: "FWIW, you're not actually allowed to bring alcohol to your seat in Croke Park during rugby matches.
Was there myself earlier this year for one of the Leinster matches played there. Had a seat just above one of the tunnel areas that people would be walking through after going out the back of the stand to go to the bar. Was actually amused by the number of people with pints in hand who were stopped there by stewards to be told they couldn't bring drink to their seats, and would have to skull them back there instead.
I even remember one woman carrying one of those cardboard trays that hold four pint glasses. She made the steward hold it while she went off to get the four lads she'd been buying the pints for! All four came up and drank the pints quickly, while she necked back one of those mixer cans of gin & tonic (or similar) that she'd produced from her pocket." Is that the time the doctor/ radio presenter raised a hullabaloo because the " rugger toffs" who obviously are much more cultured than the rest of us weren't allowed to bring drinks back to their seats?

FWIW, you're not actually allowed to bring alcohol to your seat in Croke Park during rugby matches.

Replying To REDANDBLACK30: "It's a real farce that the North even have a shot of going to the World Cup by virtue of winning a group in Nations League 3. It is very unfair system that teams in League 2 will miss out on a play off because they didn't win a group containing much better teams. San Marino were next in line for a play off because they won a league in Nations League 4. It's definitely not a fair system.
In the same campaign the Republic of Ireland would have to have won a group containing England to get a play off via this method. The Republic of Ireland stayed in League 2 but they would almost be better off getting relegated to League 3 to boost their chances of a play off going forward. Crazy system." Fully agree with you, imagine a 3rd Division team in the GAA qualifying for the final stages of the All Ireland football group stages by winning the Tailteann Cup. Poor.

Replying To Saynothing: "Not that I'd personally want it, but other sports fans could, and had the option to take drinks back to enjoy in their seats, it's as if they are more civilised than us mere mortals." Rugby fans have always been allowed bring beer back to their seats so you probably should take that up with the GAA. Has nothing to do with renting out Croke Park to other sports.
