i find it incredible that we play in this sport against the irish when we dont even play the sport. we go from playing with an oval ball and the middle sticks being 6 points to a soccer-like ball and soccer goals, and our usual maximum scoring method being halved. its miraculous we dont get embarrassed and very impressive that we hold our own.

Dirty knackers. We stood up to them toe to toe, McGeeney gave one or two of the Aussies a good hiding and then the Aussies resorted to cheap shot elbows and taking Geraghty out of the game. What McGeeney said in that interview was totally correct.

I'm certainly not crying I just dont feel it enhances our game in any way. It a our native sport a game played by amatures and thats where its strengths lie.

the simple fact that the game is hybrid makes it difficult AND as it is more closely an GAA game, it is harder for the Irish viewers to differentiate between their national game and the international rules. for the Aussies, there is such a distinction between AFL and Int. Rules that we can accept the hard play and nationalistic pride etc as there is a greater divide between the game we watch each week and this Int. Rules game.

the tackle by pierce was a hard, FAIR tackle that was well within the rules of the game. It was bitterly unfortunate that the irishman recieved a blow to his head as a result of landing awkwardly. however, these men know the dangers of playing contact sports, and it would be foolish to suggest otherwise.

The Aussies have a history of this, they did it to Peter Canavan in '99 and '00, Ciaran McDonald in '04 and now this. So its not a once off by the Aussies, it is a premeditated, calculated and sinister aspect of the way the international rules team acts when they realise they may be defeated by playing just football. Why do they do this when they could so easily just let their great football do the talking? Its nothing short of thuggery, you can't dress it up any other way.

the Irish always go on about how they put teachers and accountants on the field against professional athletes... gloatingly when they win, as an excuse when they lose. and the aussies go on about how the game favours the Irish: round ball, rectangular field and the 6-point goal is what a Gaelic footballer is used to, rather than the 3-point over that an Aussie Rules footballer would be more familiar with. & also how much the irish complain when aussies tackle- which is legal in this series.

If I were Aussie I wouldn't consider it a badge of honor that there are players put in hospital playing sport each week. As I am not proud of any player wearing an Irish shirt using his head to injure an opponent... no matter what the provocation. The two games really are poles apart. Making a compromise rules game between the two is like trying to make a compromise rules game between rugby and soccer... It really doesn't work. Its a shame but I think the whole thing will be canned.

We have a sport in which we can compete in boxing and strangely enough its appropriately called 'boxing' we can play rough but there has to be some rules.
