Hurling puts football in the shade

Yawn

I was at hurling championship final recently and it was a glorified hockey match - the worst excuse for a field sport i ever had to endure. Which is the true reflection?

Great to see the Roscommon hurlers doing so well.

Mickey Harte won't be impressed with the lack of defensive play

I have to say that some of the skill I saw today was unbelievable. There used to be a poster on here called First Touch Joe Cooney (FTJC). Some of the first touches today were unreal.

In Davy "El Loco" Fitzgerald, hurling possesses the greatest character in Irish sport.

What a day, and the €10 above face value I paid for a Canal End ticket five minutes before the throw in was SO worth it.

Viva the Baby Banner, and viva la revolucion.

What a match. Cracking stuff.

The missus just started watching the hurling this year. Trying to explain to her just how lucky she is.

Again hurling games like this are unmissable,

The funny thing is when football delivers games like this there is always a significant number of people who complain about the lack of defending. A high scoring hurling game is always lauded as a great game while a high scoring football can be derided for a lack of defending. Football can't win sometimes.

Today's game was excellent but you'd really have to wonder where the defenders were!

10 goals would tend to say both full back line were a tad awol

Bump.
Kilkenny Galway was excellent today.
