How are you supposed to tackle someone who's running while holding a small ball in their hand? Smash them in the face with the big stick you're holding!?

Croke Park is almost a great looking arena. Do the Irish only build lop-sided stadiums? Similar to Lansdown Road in that the fourth side is a bit pathetic by comparison with the other three. If they're hemmed-in in both cases, then it seems an epic planning permission fail.

They can only carry it in their hand for four steps before transferring to the hurl. This when you can get in and dislodge the sliotar ( ball ). Limerick have been doing tat very well and getting a lot of men around the player in possession.
Watch for the hooking as the ball is struck.

I always thought they should have changed the orientation when the old Lansdown road stadium was demolished.
Hill 16 is the standing only area of Croke Park and is great that it has been retained in modern times. It is still by far the highest capacity stadium in Ireland.

I got quite into Aussie Rules when I was over there. The players must be super fit.
Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.
I'm pretty sure the officials and players don't really know what the rules are.
It's great to watch though!

That's a makie up sport. Amateur players against professionals. Was designed to give the amateurs a trip to Oz so the good ones could be harvested for Aussie rules. Gaelic football is nowhere near the speed or skill of Hurling. Koby McDonald the latest Gaelic Football wonder kid is turning professional after the All Ireland Football final.

Sorry, wasn't meant to be a direct comparison, just another thing I've enjoyed watching in the past, mainly for the randomness.
