This spurs crap..... and other unassociated ramblings

Apart from the net and the ball, what's the difference between Aussie Rules and Gaelic football? They're both basically just fights that use a ball as an alibi.

I think Aussie rules is professional whereas Gaelic football is amateur but fundamentally they're pretty similar - I think theres quite a few Irish players who go and try their luck in Oz.

Gaelic football is an amateur game. It's also a lot more civilised than Aussie Rules. A lot of Aussie Rules is about brute force and upper body strength. Gaelic football is a lot less physical. The other big difference is that gaelic is played with a round ball and Aussie Rules is played with an oval ball which makes for a completely different game.

Both games pale in comparison to hurling which is the true sport of kings.

FFS, can we have some people moaning about the Spurs game in preference to this?

Spurs?

Wouldn't hold a candle to the Leesh intercounty women's football team.

They're quite similar, but not all that similar really.

Look, you can read moaning in every other thread, this thread is therapy

I had several visits to the local A&E department with hurling related injuries as a youngster.

A hurley to the face really smarts, especially when it has been reinforced with one of those metal strip thingies.

Agreed



Hard as nails.

[Harv]

I agree.

In my opinion any sport that gives you a point for shanking your kick isn't a real sport. There isn't a huge amount of skill to Aussie Rules but it is enjoyable to watch as it is such a frenetic game. I watched quite a lot of AFL when I lived in Melbourne and rather enjoyed it. The highlight was watching St Kilda in the MCG and the G Train Frazier Gerhig. That man is an animal. I absolutely loved the fact that he was a big lump who did nothing but goal hang all day. He's like an Australian Micky Quinn.

HAHA G-Train!! He's a beast

Aussie Rules is very skillful mate, kicking the footy (properly) 50m on the run is something very few can do . Its not as elegant as football can be, but to say it isn't skillful is ignorant

[Harv]

Agreed



Hard as nails.

[MrMichael]

Fair enough. I suppose it is a lot more difficult to accurately kick an oval ball. The game never does look that skillful though. I think I'll compromise by calling it deceptively skillful.

If you think they're scary you should see the men's team.

Gaelic football is an amateur game. It's also a lot more civilised than Aussie Rules.

They recently changed the rules in AFL to make it less a contact sport, it's a changing.

Putting people in hospital off the ball and using them as step ladders is no longer allowed. Hehe.
