ok you guys r all off my my be nice 2 list. I don't get football, I don't get the rules and well watching a load of men run up and down a pitch 4 nothing really is not my idea of fun. Women run up and down as well! Football is life. I dont know what I'd do without footy. The fun is in playing, scoring, winning and being promoted. You have to go to a math to know what we're talking about.

girls footy is the next up and coming sport! It sure is ;D and that is why I'm involved in encouraging girls to play footie. I personally think girls / ladies football is far more interesting to watch than mens footie. Ladies footie is more tactical where men just wanna end up fighting with each other. But I do enjoy watching mens footie especially Villa ;D

girls footy is the next up and coming sport! I'll belivev that when I see it. Don't all kill me 'cos I know it's unfair and all but the day that RTE shows women playing football, well I don't see it happening. Cricket sounds strange, it's not like hurling at all. Kinda like tennis with less people I guess. Yeah we have songs to but I cant imagine singing rule britannia, wouldn't escape alive, specially in GAA. Now one sport I love is Horse Racing, I love making money ;D and there is such a great atmosphere. Go on then tell us some of the cricket rules.

Well ok you get ready to watch some ladies footie as Womens Euro Cup is being held in England in 2005. The Ladies FA Cup in normally shown on either BBC or ITV but I dont watch it as I have always gone to watch the game itself.
So YES ladies footie will become just as big a mens football if it dont then I will eat my shorts lol and that will take ages as they so dam big ;D

yeah well irelands behind the times no offence or anything.
Ok cricket rules there are 11 men on each team, you have 5 people you can use as bowlers, everybody on the team bats but u have 5 men as dedicated batsmen and they are nearly always the first up 2 bat. To get out you either get bowled out (the bowler hits the wicket (the three stumps) behind u and knocks the things um can't remember what they're called off) Or you get stumped (basically the same thing as above only a fielder hits the wicket) Or you get caught (like in rounders u hit it someone else catches it b4 it hits the ground)
To score a run u have 2 run 2 the other end of the wicket without either batsman getting out. To score 4 runs u have 2 hit it along the ground till it goes over the boundry To score six runs u have 2 hit it up in the air so it goes over the boundry without it hitting the ground
Um what else oh yeah there are 6 balls bowled in an over. An innings is each teams turn at bat.
There r different types of cricket games u can play theres a set over game where each team has say 20 overs bowled each and the one with the most runs wins theres a test where u just keep going till everyone is out and u have 2 lots of innings
um I think that's pretty much everything I can think of at the mo, probably more than u wanted 2 know anyway. Spy_Master100880

ireland is certainly behind the times but it is getting so much better, when I was little it was a normal question to ask do you want to be a nun, and if no why not, now that would just be weird (and thats in only 10 years).
Cricket sounds strange, I can see why it didn't catch on here.
By the way the GAA rule about no football/rugby is called rule 42 and there is a fair bit in the papers about it here so you might see some of it to, some people are trying to get rid of it, hope they do. the less of the anti-english stuff the better.

Hes just an average species here. You must be deprived in England . Ah the accent! Nothing like a good accent, my best "irish dance" accent has helped me many a time on holiday.
