More numbers than you can shake a (hurling) stick at

.@cassie10yson I don't have the right to be proud, as I'm not Irish. I'm in awe, that's what I am - Ireland has set an example to the world!

Nice infographic for the 2015 hurling championship http://t.co/7YIcrdZYB1

@MordhaO yeah, it's a joke.

If you're going to force the peno taker to strike from 20m, then surely the backs must b forced to stay on the line til the ball is struck?

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

Clare goalie advanced off the line before sliotar was struck - penalty should have been retaken.

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

Hurling is on the only sport I can think of where there is more than just the goalie on the line for a penalty.

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

Ratio of penalty spot distance to goals size:

0.62 Shinty
0.81 Hurling (3 on line)
1.22 Field hockey
1.48 Gaelic football
1.62 Soccer

Replays should be made a thing of the past - totally agree with John Allen on this http://t.co/i8afqqZvoG

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

Looking at Tipp's second penalty here http://t.co/lRF2X8OyZw, the KK defenders moved off the line which should've mean the peno was retaken.

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

@EamonWalsh79 Fair point.

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

@Lisa_Lawlor yes... but extra time is already played for some matches so why not all?

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

Any good reasons why the GAA doesn't play extra time whenever championship matches end level (apart from potential revenue loss)?

The replay on September 27th will be the 6th All Ireland senior #hurling final in 3 years. Spoiled. 😆

Yesterday, for the first time ever, an All-Ireland senior #hurling final broke through the 50 score barrier.

[hurlingstats @hurlingstats]

On a points per minute ratio, today's game was the highest scoring All-Ireland senior #hurling final of all time. 1 point every 68 sec or so
