What is Hurling? (part 1 of 3)

IRISH PEOPLE PAY THE COST

The state is spending more than 91.5million euro a year to accommodate 7000 asylum seekers, due to 7yr backlog. There are 14,131 'leave to remain' applicants whom the Justice Dept. describes as having 'unfounded' claims for asylum.

Meanwhile our health, education systems are breaking down and Irish people are being told to emigrate.

Same thing is happening over here in Holland. Welcome to the club...we got jackets.

Yep....doctors told me I was incurable and could drink as much I want. But I had to have a lobotomy. Now I want to watch US football.

(Hurling is great. :-) )

they are not always changing the rules in hurling thats ridiculous. Hurling is a more skillful sport than football (soccer) and I think its pure stupid that it's still classified as an amateur game, only Irish people behold the skill that is hurling!! Id like to see one of yee try and hit a sliotar!!!

That's why I don't watch hurling...they are always changing the rules, adding posts taking them away. Should be a Bar...i mean pub.
20 a side, 10 pints/player and use cattle prods.
(just kidding I like the blood..lol)

if you had a brain you would be dangerous :P

if the sliotar goes in the net under any circumstance it 3 points accept if u throw it

If the ball is struck on the ground or in the air and goes into the goal below the crossbar then it's goal which is equivilant to three points

If you strike it on the ground and it goes under the crossbar then its a goal (equaling 3 points). If it goes over the crossbar then its 1 point.

thanks friend. i appreciate it.
