Hurling puts football in the shade

[Orchard park]

There's just no getting away from the hurling ones. Even on RTE racing there they had to give us a big gushing review of the two games at the weekend and how it is the world's greatest sport.
If it was so awesome then uptake would be higher. It isn't so there you go.

The shame is on the Tyrone and Roscommon who fail to coach of promote it.

Football is easier and a lot like soccer and basketball, so it's easier to do.. all you need is your feet, and hit the gym

There are a lot of counties like Tyrone and Roscommon, Who would gladly accept the financial Hurling handouts your county received over the last decade and a half and in turn give the game a go!

RTE have an article there where they say every play in hurling now results in a shot at the target. Essentially it's become basketball. Puck out, catch, shoot and repeat.

Very simplistic view. What are you going to tell us next, all you need for boxing is your fists?

[RedHand88]

What on earth are you rambling on about?

Hurling pricks with an inferiority complex having to tell anyone and everyone who plays another sport that Hurling is the best sport in the world!

So no individual has the right to tell you their sporting preference unless they play the game at the highest level themselves? You think very highly of yourself.

And with respect, Gaelic Football fans have done the exact same thing with soccer fans for years.

They're not telling me their sporting preference though. They're trying to tell me that because they play hurling and because there was a good hurling match at the weekend that gives them cause to think they are some kind of superior being. Y'know because the sport they play is better than mine... even though the hurling we see at Croke Park does not even closely resemble the hurling played at Christy Ring or club level.

I have yet to see anyone on social media say that Gaelic football is the best sport in the world. . . why does it need to be said. I quite like hurling but I like football better why do the hurling fraternity need to make me feel like a p***k for it?!

The fact that someone saying that hurling is the greatest game in the world makes you feel like a p***k would suggest that you're the one with the inferiority complex.

No. When they try to compare it to football and say it's superior he has every right to be annoyed. The hurling ones are getting worse than the Irish rugby fans and that's saying something.

Gaelic Football people have held this over soccer people for years.
If it annoys you, you'd want to get a grip of yourself.

True, but that also annoys me. Just let people enjoy their sport.

Feet for standing on I presume, while you engage in non stop  throwball.

This was enjoyable, but too many contrived, 'This is in our DNA' soundbites for me.
Sean Ógs contribution towards the end was the most authentic bit.
It felt like an extended version of one of those cliched RTE promos about warriors etc.
Beautifully filmed though.
