Ireland v Australia, Rules Test 1, Breffni Park, Saturday 19 October 2013

[Sidney]

Tommy Carr saying that he sees no reason why the Aussie Rules tackle can't be implemented in Gaelic football.

Must we hear this argument every time these games are played?

[From the Bunker]

The only way i could see it attracting my attention would be for our players to play Aussie rules when we go south and them to play football when they come north. Forget about the compromise. That way we'd see real Gaa players play the game here. And adapting players play on tour.

[Rossfan]

It's a vanity project for the GAA and the players, which represents the worst of two fantastic sports (sponsored by a hateful rag, I might add).
I doubt we'll see it again after this year.

It would be worth getting rid of it just to stop your constant bellyaching.

I believe Murphy was outstanding for Glenswilly today ... How anyone could question his decision to play for Ireland last night is beyond me!!

Zack Touhy came on as a sub for Postlaoise today.

Some of the Aussie lads could have got a game today I'd say if they showed up at county grounds today.

Fair play to him, and fook the begrudgers.

Great stuff from him by the sound of it.
1-5 and a man of the match performance.

























Now just imagine he'd been injured last night.

Only 90% correct. We will see it again because the Aussie freebie trips for officials will ensure that this spurious nonesense will continue. Sure the players like it - it gives some stati]us and the possibility of a paid (yes "paid") trip abroad - but in the end of the day the suits who organise and run this invented stuff will still yearn for their wee trips all expenses paid to Aussie now and then as well as the big dinners at home. It is a circus and those who applaud and turn up are the clowns.

Shhhh Jinxy, Don't be saying such things! There was no way he would have got injured. Now go down the room and find those blinkers and put them on.

I've always enjoyed circuses and I'm not a clown.

All hail the new Caesar.

Jasus you're not that bad after all

A peculiarly and particularly anaemic 'contest' that should now have the decent thing done, and the coffin lid nailed firmly shut.
