Kicking The Sliotar

[Premier Emperor]

The only thing that should touch the sliothar should be a hurl.
Ban handpassing and kicking before the game turns into football.

So you wouldnt like to see guys like Shanahan cathching the ball like he did with two great fetches on Sunday?
Your argument is ridiculous! Also goalkeeepers rely on catching quite a bit.
Catching , kicking & the handpass offer players the option to play the ball or gather it in an alternative way.
They are skills of the game.......to remove them wouldnt make the game better but worse to watch in my opinion!

The ability to catch doesn't make Shanahan any less of a mullocker.
We are in danger of going down the same road as football - Picking teams of 6 foot something lads because they can catch a ball.
The real skills of hurling need to come to the fore again.

Such nonsense. A player catches to take possession of the ball and it's therefore a necessary skill. Do you want players to keep the ball on the ground? Hockey is the one you're after.
