Poll: Yards or Metres, which sound better?

[weareros]

More important, what's the right metric for misses:

Missed by inches
Wide as a gate
Yards wide
Miles wide

I don't think I ever heard a commentator say he missed by a meter.
And of course a player that wintered well is always carrying a few extra pounds.

14, 21, 45, 65...

Remember hearing one of the RTE commentators in the last few weeks going on about the ref bringing the ball forward more than 10 yards.

Of course he did you tullip, the distance is 13 metres.

The GAA should rid itself of imperial crap. It is ridiculous when programmes have stones and whatever and no indication of the weight of the player in rational units. Most of the players weren't born when the field measurements were changed, why keep this nonsense?

Don't agree with you there tbh, if you tell me someone is 6 foot 2 and 15 stone i know hes a big lump of man.

Agreed. Although less of the big lump (I wish I was only 15 stone  )

Last few programmes had no height or weight, not even sure they had occupation.

I knew a fella who would always shout "Wide as a duck's arse"
