Many of you are familiar with the G.A.A in Ireland ... the G.A.A more or less acts as a mafia in every little village and town in Ireland.... All the talented and talentless younster player either Gaelic football or Hurling..... With this emerges lots of talented ( extreamely talented players) Whatever about hurling - not similiar to soccer although it is a very skillful game played by really really fit younster with enormous skill ( lots player soccer and are unreal ) but i think the gaelic footballers around ireland are wasted , they train three or four times a week at all ages from u12 to u18 and upwards......they don;t get payed and are amatuers.....their skill amazes everyone that ever watches them..they sell out croke park ( 80000 seats ) all the time and many other grounds. The irish rugby team has seen this market--- look at ireland;s backs in rugby they are lethal - geordan murphy , brian o driscoll and Gordon D'ARCY just a few, all these men were brought up playing football ...but the rugby clubs jumped in and converted them into rugby players....
Liverpool fc would do very well to grab these extreamely fit lads who would know their language and cost very little, why are we looking in africa and asia and even the balkans when we have them here in ireland ?? irish people are fond of liverpool , due to historical connections, irish younsters would really jump at the chance to play for liverpool , imagine these guys who when they are young are talented then when they get older they are treated like gods in their country - imagine if these guys were paid and were full time, they would be unreal
the few irish players getting their chance in england means that only a few succeed , i think if more were scouted via scouts attending g.a.a matches then a lot more would succeed...
is you think im a bit naive , ignore the post , i just thought it was worth considering
