Hurling puts football in the shade

[Sidney]

Two great sports lads. Can we not leave it at that?

I don't get this... at the top level both sports are great. Why do the hurling/football fraternity have to keep saying "ours is better">

We true hurling men prefer to call ourselves "the hurling firmament".

[AZOffaly]

The Hurlinginati I thought?

There you go, I never knew that about you Sydney!

What ya think could Brian Cody lead Europe to Ryder cup glory?

[Greenabovethered]

Any news on where the reply is going to be? Portlaois?

Brian Cody v Tom Watson would be a sporting confrontation for the ages. I've no doubt Cody would lead Europe to glory, but unfortunately he has the small matter of a replay to plan for.

He'd give all week saying that the USA were a 'serious' team.

He'd give all week saying that the USA were a 'serious' team.

And when Europe had beaten the Yanks 27-1 he'd be saying it was the toughest Ryder Cup Europe had ever won.

Why is it so seasy to get a hurling final ticket and football final tickets are like gold dust? Makes a balls out of trying to swap hurling tickets for football ones.

Less interest of course. Football is simply the more popular sport by a large margin.

I don't think hurling final for football final is a straight swap in terms of their real world value and most people wanting to trade away football tickets realise that, for better or worse. Probably makes them less likely to be open to randomly swapping too, at worst they'll probably know someone who'd love to go.

Westlife are more popular than The War On Drugs*.

American football puts fuball in the shade.
But hurling is more like ying to fuball's yang

Simple answer

Population Tipp and KK= 250,000
Population Donegal + Kerry= 310,000

When Cork and Clare played last year ther was a massive shortage of tickets. New teams will always bring a new following and renewed interest as with Clare last year and Donegal this year. It doesnt mean the games will be any better though. Are you trying to make out there was some sort of lack of interest in yesterdays match?

[AZOffaly]

Its the same every year. The neutral 'die hard' interest is always greater in Football than Hurling.  The participation rates would tell you that Football is more popular than Hurling.
