Hurling is an amateur unpaid sport played for county by grown ups, as well as that it's the fastest field sport in the world and doesn't rely on imported players It is the complete opposite to soccer. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but nobody gives a shit about it...............football is the most popular sport in the world for a reason The attendance of the first match was over 82,000 people, most of who had to travel across the country and pay up to € per ticket. The replay will see as many more attend, fair enough though, that's shite for an amateur game As for soccer being the most popular sport in the world, hooliganism also seems popular. From Ray Houghton to Ronaldo cheating, and encouraging cheating is endemic. Juventus, Glasgow Rangers, Joey Barton, Quatar world cup *coughbriberycough*. It hardly sets much of an example, the beautiful game? Maybe if you have blinkers on and choose to not see the above. This hurling final.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STB4s7Qhf40&feature=youtube_gdata_player A bit more like this... Leinster (not all Ireland) final: 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, we've a very small population here and in soccer, rugby and other sports we've beaten plenty of other c**ts who also play those games 'Sake, we even have a cricket team See thing about hurling is that it's about pride in where you come from, there are hundreds of clubs around the country that can only draw from their local area. No fannying off to Brazil, Japan, or the continent for talent who "act" like they are smitten then dump that club when someone else offers them a fiver extra a week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No jealousy or inferority whatsoever, I think it's better to play a game for pride than money, money corrupts. I don't think I've said anything untrue above about soccer. I'm sure it was a beautiful game once. I am happy that you enjoy your game Gnash I'm sure as much as I enjoy mine 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lacrosse is the fastest "field sport" in the world with hurling second. Ice hockey is the faster than them both. Yet Hurlings the best off them all. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
