Great game - This can actually be an exciting sport to watch when theres no violence in it. Heres to 2 great sports combining to make another great game
@nalhguoc94 He was offered a contract when he was 22 but didn't take it. Im not surprised either - he was right of the start of his career (as in his job) at home and it would've jeopardised that for something that's a risk at best.
But the GAA wouldnt enforce their manopoly on the North, bigoted players i imagine wouldnt play but the fringe players from the 6 counties i imagine would probably play in the team...
dont really care much tbh i was just looking this up out of interest.
problem with a united team is that loyalists are too bigoted to allow it. It was discussed about having a game in Clones as the 1st test in the next home series, but there were security fears over the UVF using it as a chance to attack nationalist ideals and cause hastlem thats why the NI team was dreamed up, but that goes against the GAA ethos
Its much easier to learn how to play with a round ball than the oval one eg the bounce is much more predictable. The Irish struggle with the tackle as much as the Aussies struggle with the ball so I think they have the balance correct
It just depends on the one that you grew up playing with. Striking the ball over the bar is the most important and difficult ask which ever ball you play with.
It should be alternate series or alternate game with the respective balls because the advantage is too great.
Well I've heard that there may be a south african team coming in so that would be 4 games in a series. It all depends on how the domestic seasons have been and how far the big teams go. If they go far then the players are too tired for this
It's a novelty and it's difficult to maintain it year in year out. The fighting was a big draw for the crowds and there was nothing last year. I heard it's cancelled for this year?
Yeh the aussies cant afford to travel up. So it's called off til next year when it will be a tri series with SA joining. Or so the gaa hope. They have a written promise from the AFL that they will travel next year. If there can be clear boundries laid down they that game could be more physical
SA? They play a game that's similar? After 06 they made suspensions carry over into the respective leagues and that's why none of those scumbags played the next year. What they done has nothing to do with being physcial but being a scumbag
Aussie Rules is big in SA apperantly and so they'l field a team. Was news to be too. The AFL players see the Irish as a bunch of small skinny part time sunburnt lillywhite/livered nancy boys and so they try and atain physical dominance as that is a large p;art of their own code(it was invented by convicts after all). Last year Ireland sent a properly trained skilled and more physical team that in past years and so the aussies were a bit more standoffish
Its really good watching this, i hate Irish rules but watching this is good at an international type level, but being N.Irish i find it hard to support Eire.
It's actually a derivative of Gaelic football and Rugby. Gaelic football used to be played with 20players a side and then developed differently, it was also more physical in the past. Being an amateur sport led to the physical aspect being taken out, these guys have to get up for work in the morning. As for wht they think of them...not sure you're on the money, my cousin played on that team, said they had the heigth of respect from the AFL players. Good guys all 'round I gathered
Wat!?? Is South Africa really going to be part of this series!! That is madness... no one in South Africa would know they had a team representing their country!!! I find it difficult to believe that South Africa could possibly field a team in this series!
I cant see an NI team getting past the GAA exec tbh..would be a nice idea but i cant really see them letting that happen lol! And yeh..i heard that AR is big enough in SA...i hear that the idea of a SA team was being knocked around..
Yeh well if the gaa put out a team of players from the high profile counties they would hammer the aussies every year. Plus if you stuck a few tyrone and dublin players in they'd get involved in the rough and tumble. Both countries have to agree on a solid format if the series is to continue and agree to put out half decent teams from their respective leagues
Yeah but that's going to be impossible because it's only 2 games per year and lots of players from both sides respectively don't bother. The issue of the ball is decesive as when you talk about skills a lot of those are to do with the ball catching, striking and passing. It needs to be every second game or series or a compromise ball!! They were scumbags in 06 kicking on the ground shoulder and knee's to the face but our players did't jump in for one another. All high profile players as well
ireland skills are far better than australia's. Thats why the aussies resorted to thugary in previous years. Nice to see them taking their rightful beating fairly
Passion is one thing but mindless thuggary is another. I lived in OZ for a while and I know that in the AFL they dont act like thugs, so why they do it in the international rules is beyond me. In a fair game Ireland will always win
It's because of suspensions are severe for that kind of stuff. Yeah it was too much in 06 and they were scumbags but this is tame there's barely a hit in the entire game.
Well the lack of hits in the game was largely down to the fact that the format for gaelic football is to move the ball quick from player to player and so the ball was gone bfore an aussie could put a tackle in. AFL is slower with the catching and marking and so they struggled to close the irish players down when the moved the ball. The aussie fitness became irrelevant then in the last 15mins because they were knackered from chasing the irish players around the place.
Not all Gealic Football is played in that manner . Irish players get caught in possesion because of the tackle. Australia struggle with coverting chances plus this Australian team had next to no experienc and didn't look intrested.
Well the players are picked because they can move the ball. Ireland have improved on the tackle area and now move the ball a lot more so as to avoid getting caught. I think it would be fairer to play a half with each ball too. The irish players are all round more skillful than the aussies. In the past the aussies used thuggary to combat the irish skill but can no longer do that. Many of the irish players are from the lower county teams too. Ireland could pick a more physical team but just dont
This series was rubbish. The Australian team was almost completely new and did'nt look intrested. The ball is a hugh advantage in our favour plus the gaa is closer to semi-professional than amateur for the high profile county teams. Well in 06 we had no team spirit Chris Johston close lines a player, 5 Australians attack Ciaran McDonald and no Irish players jump in. They were scumbags but we had no team spirit

Aussie Rules is a much rougher harder hitting sport.
But GAA Football is a more technical sport...in my opinion.
Thats why the Aussie's play dirty?
Some of those Aussie Rules players are like rugby players ?? so they're always gonna have the upper hand in that respect.
