My son is a keeper for a soccer team and wants to have a shirt designed for the upcoming season. To make it unique (so no one can copy it), he would like to have "Defend this house" in Gaelic.

Can anyone provide me with the most accurate translation for this in Gaelic?

It is very much appreciated

Regards

Maybe

Cosain an comhlacht seo. (singular - [you] defend), calling on each player to defend.

Cosnaímis . . . (plural - Let us defend . . .), everyone together.

"comhlacht" means "company, organisation" which can be used in the sense of "team, house".

Also, "teach" which literally means "house" seems OK.

"an fhoireann seo" = this team

Personally, I would venture this one: "Cosain an teach seo 'ainne" > (Each of you) defend this house of ours. ("seo 'ainne" is non-standard for "seo againne"). Sounds a little more personal to me. But you could simply say "Cosain an teach seo."

Wait for more input.

If you want something short, to fit on t-shirts or whatever, you could also consider this, which is pithy and easy to say:

Seas an fód
Stand your ground

Technically, if it's addressed to more than one person, it would be the following, but the singular command form given above is very common in slogans:

Seasaigí an fód
Stand your ground

I would say "s'againne." That's what I usually see/hear, anyway.
