Why GAA Is Better Than....Soccer

1. You can't play a defensive game of hurling.

2. Micheal O'Murchearaigh.

3. Hurling Jumps..

4. Because Richard Dunne is the only soccer player you can imagine going through this and continuing on...

5. Penalty shoot outs are no match for replay, after replay, after replay...

6. You can't buy an all Ireland title.

7.  GAA fans don't have to spend the first 20 minutes explaining the offside rule to women.

8. Mexico's Jorge Campos could've worn all his multi coloured jerseys at the same time but still wouldn't have held a candle to Shane Curran..

9. A dive to a GAA player belongs in a swimming pool...

10. We should have our own breed of Brazilians any day now. Thank you Gort!!

11. Henry Shefflin moving to Tipperary will never cause a pigs head to be thrown at a GAA game because it would never happen, only sh!t players get to leave their counties...and because we'd just probably make sang'iches from the pigs head..

12. The Black Card - We have more cards than you. Take that Howard Webb...not that you even know how to use your two...

13. You're born into your county, you can't choose it just because Man Utd were winning everything from the mid 90's on...

14. Paul Galvin is more deserving of a fashion label than Tom Cleverly....

15. A scoreless draw in GAA would be.....hahahahaha...a scoreless draw..

16. You could literally lose an arm in the throw in, kick off is like a stroll in the park on a Sunday evening

17. We give the weaker teams a second chance...

18. GAA fans have no time for the Mexican wave...actually, they have no free arms for the Mexican wave, program rolled up in one to animate their abuse throwing and a hang sang'ich in the other

20. John 3:7

21. Unreasonable utter hatred of extremely successful and brilliant people..

22. We don't need FIFA to tell us what fair play is...we just say it..."fair play lad"

23. There's a good chance you'll end up celebrating alongside GAA Players in Coppers, Soccer players just retreat to their really expensive plush houses...the bastards.
