Watched a game in London. They let a London Irish team play and my mate (from Fermanagh) dragged me along.
Fermanagh lost and I ripped the p*ss, but fiik what was going on. | |

Thought it was played in September tbh. Must have moved it (from 30 years ago)
My first ever night in Ireland I caught the ferry to Roslairre and stopped in Kilkenny. The place was going mental (had heard of 'the craic') on a Sunday night. Turned out the hurling team had earlier won the All Ireland.
Btw, we can stop the debate over Pineapple on Pizza. Am sat typing (on WiFi) in a restaurant in Italy and Hawaiian (with Annas) is amongst the offerings. :-) | |

The rules are put the ball in the net or between the sticks. Argh, and everyone hates the Dubs and support whoever they playing. Go on Kerry |  | | |

Think it's very similar to hurling. |  | | |

The all irelands moved from September to July about 5 or so years ago to not interfere with club games |  |

Didn’t seem to have the hits like rugby , actually looked quite fun! Couldn’t fathom the pitch markings though. | | | |

Up the Dubs!!! That was not an enjoyable game to watch defences largely on top and conditions playing their part. The mistake by Gavin White for the Dublin goal and Clifford having an off day turned the tide for us. 3 Dubs with 9 All Ireland medals is history right there.
Can we have someone other than Gough ref the final next year please? |  | | |

I enjoyed it, though weather definitely played its part. The Dubs had won on me over by the 2nd half. Thought they deserved it. | | | |

Obviously I was swayed by Kerry playing in green & yellow | |

That may be why I had subconsciously turned to the Dubs by the 2nd half | | | |

Likely to be used for the British and Irish Euros in 2028? |  |

Depends on whether GAA allow it, which isn’t a foregone conclusion | |

Tried to watch it but there seemed to be free kick (or whatever ever it called in Gaelic Football ) every 30s and it ruined the flow for me |  |

Don't think so, the GAA grounds are really hallowed turf I.e. GAA sports only. Gaelic football, Hurling or camogie only.
Croke Park is an amazing 80k plus stadium! The only other non GAA sport played there was when Landsdowne Road was being developed...which became the Aviva which is shared by the FAI/IRFU and is circa 45k capacity.
The 2007-2009 six nations is when Croke Park was in play.... | | | |

What about Shinty? |
Talk of shinty and hurling brings to mind recent victories by Scotland over Ireland in combined shinty-hurling games. We might not be much good at football but when it comes to shinty-hurling, we rule the world.

Isn’t that basically legalised violence with a hockey stick? | |
