Hurling is the greatest game in the world

He’s single because he’s a boring, ugly roaster. He spends New Year’s Eve on here waffling on about stick hurling when a normal person would be out trying to get their hole.

That inbred peasant probably has half the women in Newfoundland scared of him.

You’re the one making claims, mate, you throw the facts… I’ll go with 13 rugby, 68 gaa and 62 soccer.

The Desmond League is the greatest domestic league . What is lacks in technical ability and glamour it make up for that in thrills and spills . Great parish derbies etc . A great apres match soup and sambo culture . The "el turfico " derby between Athea and Killeaney is Munsters greatest Derby .

West Brit, d4, English soccer obsessed, rastooler.

Yes. I used to pal with his nephews.

The last decade has seen a great many represent Ireland in rugby . Not many played for the 26 county soccer team to my knowledge .

Lies. There’s a difference between being shit at something and not giving a shit about it.

Bizarre thread. Football is more popular than hurling and soccer is more popular than both. Thats the reality of it.

As a spectacle, hurling should be the best. Problem is that it has gone to shit over the last ten years, and really there is nothing worse than a shit hurling game.

You’re watching too much Cork hurling.

Inter-county hurling is shit mate. The last few games have warmed the heart, but not changed the reality of what the sport has become - usually - as a spectacle.

He has a point. They’re coaching the great skills of the game out of kids. It’s about not giving away possession at all costs, which is why there are so many rucks forming. Hardly anyone pulls on the ball anymore.

When I was younger, training sessions involved ground hurling for the first 15 mins. If a ruck formed in a game, you’d always get some hero who’d go in and let fly; they wouldn’t be long clearing out. Similarly, if you kept putting your hand up for the ball you’d be missing skin. The GAA, probably because of H&S gone mad, keep tinkering with perfection.

What are you doing to keep the game alive pal?

Does t generally shit attendance at most NH meetings ruin your enjoyment of it? The pinnacle of the season, Gold Cup day, has less attendees than the pinnacle of the hurling season

BTW I’m only hopping the ball. I’m not engaging in the worst argument ever had on tfk
