Stick hurling: Parental Guidance advised

[Ashman]

Based on the games I have seen in the league so far at least 50% of hand passes should have been called as fouls . It is ruining the game

The game is too physical now.
Also we need to go back to the old days when the game was more physical and men were men.

It’s too easy to score now.
Also we need less tackling

Skill levels have never been higher we need to make the game more difficult.
Also skill levels have never been lower, we need to bring back in the over head pull and the ground strike

Basically lads are yearning for the days when hurling was shit and hurlers were headless chickens who got it and drove it as far as they could.

In reality all that’s really needed is financial fair play rules

What do you mean ??

[maroonandwhite]

A level playing field that’s all I ask.

The days of slants on pitches are long gone

Let’s hope we’ve matured as a forum enough that that one passes without comment

Frees shouldn’t be given unless there is blood spilt.

I’m surprised you have a “standard” bas that measures 18cm at the widest point. I have quite a few hurleys from different hurley-makers and none of them measure more that 16cm - the widest bas I have is a custom template which is wider that the manufactures standard “big bas” hurley. I’m aware of some players with wider bas’ than the standard but those are individualised templates. If you don’t mind me asking what is the length of the hurley and who is the manufacturer?

we’ll be playing fucking hockey if the cunts here have their way

Shinty is the answer. Only soft, unskilled cunts play hurley now.

[EstebanSexface]

the game is fine.

Lads want to go back to the days of it being 1-13 to 1-11 and lads rucking around a ball on the ground all day then waring it up the field as far as they can hit it.

If Kilkenny or Tipp were winning there’d be none of this auld shite.

The game is fine. Leave it alone

[Ashman]

To paraphrase a former commentator on the game if we stopped the handling of the ball we then would see who can actually hurl .

I broadly agree with this. The only issue I see with the game is that lads can effortlessly score from behind their own 65. I wouldn’t be changing anything to do with the skills of the game, handpassing, hurleys, sliotars etc

[Aristotle]

This is it really. While I would possibly agree that the spectacle isn’t quite as good as it was a few years ago; the absence of crowds is a large part of this.

A lot of the criticisms being spouted recently are very contradictory; it seems like there isn’t consensus on what the perfect game of hurling should be.

The day of everyone just driving the ball as far as they could is gone no matter what rule changes go through.

Maybe I measured it wrong, but I don’t think so!
