@weathershared if fairness... calling something bullshit over here isn't something positive....and if you look at twitter today, there have been loads who have seen 60 secs of a game, and have weighed in on how they think the sport is the stupidest thing etc.

@felo88RAM @Juezcentral There is no offside rule in Gaelic Football

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@tornes107 @mateobojorquez @Juezcentral Croke Park, the national stadium for this sport is the 4th largest stadium in Europe

Camp Nou (Barcelona, Spain): 99,354
Wembley (London, England): 90,000
Bernabéu (Madrid, Spain): 83,186
Croke Park (Dublin, Ireland): 82,300
Twickenham Stadium (London, England): 82,000

@johnpcowan @FootyLock6 The other stadiums arent as big but in fairness.

Semple Stadium 46k
Páirc Uí Chaoimh 45k
Gaelic Ground 44k
Fitzgerald Stadium 38k
McHale Park 29k
Pearse Stadium 27k. to name a few

whats more important is that every town and village has a club in it with roots in the community.

@SPatino4 @riveranelson17 @Juezcentral yes, the sport is Gaelic Football, one of Ireland's national sports, going back to at least the 17th century, the modern game emerging the 1880s

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@pipe_vh416 @Juezcentral It wasnt a landslide. There were only 3 points in the difference. A goal is worth 3 points and a ball over the bar but between the posts is worth 1. You can carry the ball but only 4 steps at which point you need to either bounce it off the ground or kick it back into your hands

@IrishPeptider @barstoolsports The commentary was overlaid using the commentary from one of the local Mayo radio stations.....

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@imprishk @barstoolsports No offside rule.

This clip is a bit distorted view of normal play, as it was the last 60 seconds of the match, and the other team was desperate to get an equaliser, so they had everyone and their mother pushed forward, leaving their back open. Usually swarming with defenders

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@mervalerok @ArturVzquez1 @Juezcentral 4, after which you need to bounce it off the ground, or kick it back into your hands. You are not allowed to bounce it off the ground twice in a row.

@MaryGixy My dad was from Kiltimagh and passed 10 years ago... I'm sure they both had the best view of the match.... Maigh Eo Abú

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@arendmachine @CraicOfTheAsh considering its been codified for 140 years and documented at least back until the 17th century... I'd beg to disagree

@iam_seeker @ChelseatodaMAX @TheSundayGame No GAA club formally in Nigeria.... though one of the counties here does have a lad from Lagos playing on their senior side. So far the GAA seem to have more of a presence in southern africa with a few clubs in Uganda and South Africa.

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@wow_its_sanders @TheSundayGame no.. as in the anglisation of the Irish county of Maigh Eo,

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@goatersmotors @TheSundayGame no offside rule in gaelic football

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@FREDDYTEDDY1902 @TheSundayGame to prevent actual goals, worth 3 points. This was the last 60 seconds of the match so all the defenders were pushed forward trying in desperation to get a last minute equaliser. Normally he'd be swarmed with defenders blocking him

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@pompeyhistory1 @TheSundayGame Normally he'd be swarmed with defenders, but last 60 seconds had the other team pressed forward to try and score and equalise in desperation

[Paddy O'Ruadháin @PaddyORuadhan]

@francis_fara @TheSundayGame Gaelic football... one of ireland's national sports

@L3tterman @TheSundayGame Gaelic football... normally he'd be swarmed with defenders, but it was the last 60 seconds of the game, and the other team had pressed forward to try to equalise.
