@Mac

We measure games in quality, not quantity

Is that why the attendances are so poor for these games?

I don’t really pay much heed to attendance figures so I couldn’t tell you whether they’re poor or great.

Sure you say yourself the scotch are a very weird race so why you’d use them as a barometer of anything is a bit odd

Where did i ever say that?

Where did i ever say that?

I can’t remember the exact post but around the time of Brexit and the Scottish Referendum

The general public seem to be enjoying football more though. Attendance figures confirm that

Scots prefer sectarian chavball . Weird aggressive people in the main.

I never realised there was a direct link from attendance figures to supporter enjoyment. Does this mean that Tipperary football fans aren’t enjoying their teams run to the semi finals?

Look it, hurling is our national game. It’s thousands of years old and as part of being Irish as our language, music and customs. It’s uniquely ours.

Gaelic football is an Irish variation of a game played across Europe.

Hurling is the greatest game in the world because it’s our game.

[backinatracksuit]

So the greatest game in the world is different in every country.
Twee and all as it is which among us (barring @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy) has not been proud to explain the game to some open mouthed Yank in a bar, telling them that in hurling a coward is more likely to get hurt than a warrior.

Hurling is a minority sport taken seriously in a handful of counties that border Tipperary.

The vast majority of Irish people have no interest in this pursuit.

thats called a yawn

[anon61956325]

It’s sad, but yes, only a few counties have retained their irishness. Most of the others are happy to watch the premier league on a bar stool… the rest of us will continue to support our national game and keep our culture alive.

that’s fantastic mate, bravo.

I dont think anyone would expect someone who appears devoted to a soccerball team in North London to understand

Gaelic football is a pan-island game with four competitive provincial championships. It is the true game of the Gael.
