True enough. You've reminded me of a ball that bounced over the bar in an AIF.

Perfect example. To us a complete fluke, to Meath a remarkable act of genius and skill not to mention timing.

Are these tests to be shown on tg4?

I see it's "Compromise Rules" again. I thought it officially became "International Rules"?

My memory is a bit hazy, but I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Gaelic Football in the early 1900's had an extra set of posts - I remember it was in the History of Ardboe GAA book

They did, and I may be open to correction on this one, but they were by and large mainly structural arrangements wereby it was easier to have a set goals and a set of seperate posts outside them. T'was IMO easier to do it this way in many impoverished area's.

Of course, that was until the creation of the raffle and gaa strictly come dancing in 1910 when clubs finally got around to buying a proper set from the egg chasers.

Play the game and play it fairly

Right that's it, we're breaking from the rest of ye and we are taking our odourless gas with us.

No Hardy you can still kick a wide in IR. and you get Zero for it.

You must also summit that you can miss in GAA and still get rewarded for it then?

(Have to pop out for a hr, I expect a 3 page debate on the above please befor my return!!  ;) )

Stevie Wonder could score a behind in AFL or Bastardised Rules. Its a game that requires little in the way of talent or skill. A behind is awarded to make the players look more skillful then they actually are.

Well lets see Gaelic players regularly shooting from 40-50 yards out and out from the sidelines and see how often they kick wides or the equivalent of behinds if it doesn't require any skill....

Didn't Stevie Wonder play for Mayo?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
