Thereโ€™s posts from me from time to time especially on Know your sport where motor sport is boycotted and black listed week after week not as much as a racing result any where in the Country I dont know why this is avoided one thing sure the fans of motor sport Ireland dont help they never post anything here Now on the other hand when thereโ€™s a fatality in motor sport racing or biking rally the Journalists here are jumping over themselves to get that story out I hope you understand my post a bit better now

    No one outside Dublin actually cares. Gaelic football is quickly declining. Even the media are no longer ramming it down our throats about how wonderful Dublin are.(By the way Dublin fully deserved their win)

    Whatโ€™s to remember? Gaelic throwball has become a total joke. The skill levels were never very high but they removed the small amount of skill that was required when they allowed frees & sideline balls to be taken from the hand instead of kicked from the ground & allowed the ball to be thrown without any pretence of fisting it. I couldnโ€™t watch that rubbish. Give me a skillful game like hurling anytime. The hurling championship this year just kept churning out magnificent games which even neutrals could enjoy.
