[QUOTE="clash, post: 137219"] I know this is an old thread but ... thank god someone else said it. I've being saying it for years! I simply can't understand it, the players are fitter, better facilities, better conditions, better training. Its never being more popular and never has had as many players and yet the levels have dropped so much ... Its gotten really bad imo, i'm a Sligo man. Did you watch the Connacht final this year ? How either ourselves or Galway got there ... it was horrendous to say the least. I mean i play senior football here and our main free taker would NEVER miss half of what our so called inter-county team missed. Even Kerry have gone downhill imo. Oh and by the way, about the International Rules. It is NOT gaelic football, its probably leaning more towards gaelic football then Aussie Rules but its definately not more then 60% Gaelic Football 40% Aussie Rules. Gaelic footballs a semi-contact sport, Aussie Rules is full contact. The International Rules is (nearly) as full contact as Aussie Rules. It'd be similiar to getting a soccer team and a rugby team, giving them a goal net and letting the rugby players tackle like they're used to. Hurlings 100 times better then gaelic football, Aussie Rules and most definately better then the International Rules. [/QUOTE]
