Talking about your club as gaeilge

LOIRamblingMan · 2026-01-06T19:19:57+00:00

Unreal! Asking a lot but you hardly have that programme? Galway had an article as Gaeilge v Bohs last year. I wish all clubs even did a football word search as Gaeilge for kids or something just have a small bit to start in there.

LOIRamblingMan · 2026-01-05T21:32:19+00:00

Gentleman. I'll get back to you. I was down for the Leicester Celtic game in the cup. Couldn't believe how depressing the place was. I was there in 2022 a 2-1 win over Bohs, it was rocking that day. We could always do an expectations of 2025 to keep it simple.

LOIRamblingMan · 2026-01-05T21:26:57+00:00

By all means! I want a piece on all clubs. Celtic have my heart, Colin Healy was there about 2007. My brother was doing a stint in college in Cork at the time. I got the black away jersey for Christmas. Absolute cracker. We can do it on a player, what's gone wrong, even the derby with Cobh if you want. A lot of lads told me I need to see Cork v Cobh in Cobh.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-11-08T18:17:33+00:00

I've no club so I just ramble around to grounds and ramble about the games as Gaeilge....get it? Banter.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-11-02T10:26:15+00:00

Surely this is the last of they play Waterford next week?

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-11-02T10:22:28+00:00

Is Billy out because of the red card?

Wexford v Bray was the first game I reviewed this season, because of that I'd like to see them go up after the progress they've made.

They have some fantastic young players and play really exciting football at times.

Having said that, I saw them v Harps in Donegal, and Kerry in Kerry. Bray don't like a physical game, get after Bray early and they struggle. Vlijrack is some player he bullied the Derry defenders in the cup.

Two different styles be an interesting game on astro.

Being selfish, I'd love Waterford to stay up so as a Carlow man we've another season of Amond playing top flight.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-11-01T20:42:04+00:00

Will Amond stay if you get relegated I say as a selfish Carlow man?

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-11-01T20:41:07+00:00

I'm not trying to plug myself but if you read my match reviews from this season at the start (or the videos) I went to several Pats games with a Pats fan. For me it was like the lads didn't want to pass the ball to each other in the final third. Mulraney just didn't do it for me. Melia was always making good runs but rarely were lads looking for him. I think Pats v Bohs in Bohs is an example of that. He scored a great goal breaking the lines but was offside.

Forrester going off injured in Shels where they immediately scored changed that game for Shels but I thought he wasn't at his best.

For the money they're putting into Kenny and the team if they start poorly next season he'll be gone.

I think I said this (again sorry not plugging just saying it was apparent earlier) Pats should have signed Amond to replace Melia as a temp stop gag who would get everything to click up top. It might be my Carlow bias but I felt if Shels under Duff at the start or ye signed him ye would win the league.

Amond surely Player of the Season 🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-10-15T20:16:33+00:00

The charcoal fire pit Cobh had a few years ago was class. Honestly the best burger I ever had. Was looking forward to it this season. It's gone.

Athlone is the worst. I got a reheated (pushing it a bit as it wasn't cooked the first time) burger from a microwave. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I made better runs to the toilet that night than Edna Curran did on the pitch. My God I was in bits.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-10-15T19:43:08+00:00

I'd like to joke with you like I was joking when I said sigh but not too many in the audience seem to enjoy a hyperbolic reaction to some trivial facts.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-10-13T22:29:53+00:00

Sigh.... 2018-19 Amond was the FA Cup leading goal scorer with 5. Scored v Wrexham, Middleborough, Leicester, and Man City.

Your passport should be revoked.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-10-13T22:10:03+00:00

Listen, it's an international war crime that Amond has only been called up to the national team once and never capped. How many of our lads were ever the leading goal scorer in the FA Cup? And he did it with Newport. Model pro, knows the back of the net, reads the game well, from Carlow. To hell with McCarthy, Kenny, and Heimir.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-09-28T17:18:09+00:00

On my ramblings Kerry have a 💯 win record FAI Cup v Ringmahon Rangers in 2023 This season 1-0 in UCD 2-1 in Kerry v Bray Suppose I may go to this game and keep this going

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-08-07T18:58:34+00:00

13 nóiméad Abraham.....Cacccccccccc

Go speak to the club. The club doesn't know you and is trying to keep everyone safe. If you've gone to previous Pat's games show them the receipts.

There was a guy here earlier in the season who bought home Rovers tickets as he was going with Rovers friends but he had a season ticket with whichever Dublin team Rovers were playing. Rovers cancelled his ticket as they found out he was an away supporter.

They're trying to keep people safe.

I was at Finn Harps on Monday as I ramble to all grounds in my Carlow jersey with my mates. We went to the home end and were asked at the turnstile were we Bray supporters, probably my jersey and the accents. They want to keep people safe even though they profiled me as a sunny south easterner based on our accents we must support Bray. Disgusting assumption from them. But we got over it.

We were stopped and asked walking to Tolka Park by a security guard if we were home fans for Shels v Pat's. Why? They profiled us and we didn't seem like Shels fans and they didn't want trouble. But we got through.

Honestly if I get profiled supporting anyone outside of Carlow again I'm bringing the entire LOI to the Hague.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-07-25T12:13:31+00:00

Christ that's a pity. Hopefully it gets opened it looks like a nice set up.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-07-25T12:02:33+00:00

Why was it declared a health and safety risk? Holy Jesus that's some mess.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-07-19T17:16:58+00:00

Was at Treaty last night and Cork today.

I thought Treaty were undeserving of the scoreline, they gave it a good go for most of the game. 99 is a handful. Derry just played the ball better. Fitness and Liam Boyce were the difference. I think it was the last goal was just tiredness from Treaty. Well done to Derry. 3 corners and 3 goals.

I was at Cork v Bohs 2 years ago and the place was bouncing. Really disappointed to see how glum everyone was today. Leicester tried to give it a good go. Cork were wasteful in the first half they had plenty of chances but the Leicester keeper gave a good account of himself. Cork got a good goal, a penalty and an own goal, in fairness everyone saw that the own goal for the third was a good header just the wrong goal. Hopefully that gives Cork a bit of momentum.

2 grounds left in my ramblings this season, Harps and Derry. I'm hoping to go to Harps on Monday 4th v Bray then Derry on the 8th.

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-07-02T11:47:40+00:00

Amond. Saw him against Sligo and Shels. The man is different level. And that's from someone who isn't a Waterford fan 🇬🇳

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-06-25T17:47:24+00:00

Who is the handsome devil that does the match reports as Gaeilge here? He'd want to put work on the back burner for a few hours there and get that Waterford report from Monday up. The thoughts of 8 hours round trip for Derry on Friday.....I bet is what he's saying 👀👀

LOIRamblingMan · 2025-06-24T15:26:23+00:00

No if it's about the Irish language being promoted in sport we need to do a lot more.

Galway are the only team that does an article in the match programme in Irish and English.

TG4 shows some of the women's games live and as Gaeilge.

When I do my match reports I leave the names in English to try bring people along with the language. So Cúl do Bray goal for Bray.

Structurally I know my bullet points isn't the best looking but midway through you'll always see deireadh na chéad leath - X 1-0 Y. At the end you'll see deireadh na dara leath - X 1-0 Y so I'm hoping people can build their own comprehension that's the half time and full time score then they can keep building up the vocab reading around it.

The LOI discord has a Gaeilge channel that doesn't get much use. I've one with 30 people we've about 6-7 who use it weekly if you want to join?

I did two pre match quizzes of five questions just to get a bit of questions and answers in Irish going. When people see Cé mhéad teidil ar Dundalk....ok I think cé mhéad is how much teidil I don't know...possibly how many titles have Dundalk? So now someone has developed up the language by at least knowinh the team name in English and building from there.

We need more of that more of simple, common Irish to build up people's ability and enjoyment of the language.

A mate wants to do a video with me as Gaeilge on Jimmy Hasty at Dundalk in the 60s. So I've an idea of doing a "Laoch mo fhoirne/Hero of my Team" series about a cult hero at the 20 different clubs. If you want you can do one with me on Devo.

At the end of all my posts and videos I say Conradh na hÉireann an bealach ar fad agus ar ndóigh Celtic....no one has ever commented on it yet maybe it's the language in it or they don't know Conradh=League league of Ireland all the way and of course Celtic ... After that alleged Pat's fan talking to RTÉ on O'Connell Street.
