Who else is irish and are watching these and laughing
Yep haa
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Yep me
Skittin, good vibes though
Anseo
the best thing about it is that all the players are doing it for free. they play for the love of the game and thier counties
They're not "doing it for free". The players secure employment via nepotism corruption and cronyism. So stop lying.
@@laurenceoconnor6499 I see you're bitter from being dropped from your junior c team
@@laurenceoconnor6499 Do you think non senior level club players gain employment through nepotism and cronyism? I'll admit there are perks at elite inter County level with the top counties, but not really for everyone else.
@@laurenceoconnor6499 that exists in many other fields as well. Its all about who you know
@@laurenceoconnor6499 ok please tell me what they get?? lot of them do normal jobs... clearly you are bad at the sport you that jealous...
This magnificent stadium Croke Park holds 82,000 spectators. It has massive historical significance for the Irish people. It was here in 1920 that British soldiers during Irelands war of independence opened up on the crowd at a football match killing 14 people including Michael Hogan Tipperary player. The Hogan stand is called after Michael. Many were also injured on this terrible day.
Thanks to the bloody brits
kev i hate to brake it to you
theirs far far worse going on right now from all angles.
Oh but twas indeed a terrible day
The coolest advertising I ever saw was a Guinness advert with a player holding a Hurl in silloute. The caption was 'This man can break hearts from 85 yards'
@@RobLewis3 That is the kind of picture you’d see on a pub wall.
😁🙌🌬🙏🇮🇪👊💚
Fun facts the GAA finals are held in Croke Park the third biggest stadium in Europe and Ireland is a pretty small country. A GAA pitch is about 1.5 times longer than an American Football field. Players can and have scored from home run distances 135m. The sliotar (the ball) can travel at over 110mph / 180kmph.
The players have really good coordination so that’s why the goalkeepers can often stop the ball from going in
Iv been a goalkeeper ever since I started playing hurling when I was 4, and having a seriously good hand eye coordination is vital to have when playing at a high level, but having all that coordination is totally wasted if you lack the bravery that's needed to play the position, it's all good and dandy catching a ball above the crossbar or plucking the sliotar out of the air. It's another thing when your the only man standing between a forward and the goal in the dying moments of a big game. You have to be prepared to do what ever it takes to ensure that ball doesn't get past you, weither it be by using your hurl or using your body.
You must also have a good puckout, u got everything else spot on
I first stumbled across Hurling about a decade ago, and I was amazed at the skill and brutality of the game. Back then, they did not really any videos that explained to us Yankees how it works. I had to decipher it for myself. I have really grown to enjoy this sport. Go ahead and look up some championship games over the past decade, and you will get hooked. I recently saw a video of a group of American Football players watching Hurling for the first time, and their reactions to the sport....Go find that video....it is not often you will see a linebacker feeling sorry for someone else playing a sport, as most football players feel they have the corner on violent game play....but Hurling is in a league all it's own. ENJOY GUYS
It was literally a warrior sport. They would play the night before going into battle. It was to toughen them up and get them confident at being rough and physically close to another person with a weapon.... Or hurl
Damn...i would not be able to get up from the bed the nxt morning...I think i would have to drink some pints the Next day to killed all the pain ;-) Well, I am an old Sack already, 47 y.o. - did guys of my age also play this sport before the Battle? I think it was rather the young stallions, wasn' it?
@@obecpokl3603 it was anyone going into battle, that would be those in their 20,30s but as far as I'm aware the lifespan was that long. Thing is though, the sport is so skillful you can play a whole match without ever touching anyone or people getting hurt. Usually they're the most entertaining to play and watch. I played the sport for 6 years and a friend of mine plays for the highest level possible. Once you get a love for it, it never truelly leaves you. I would recommend everyone to play or at least watch a match once in their lifes
I was a fool, I lived in Cork for 6 months and in Dublin for almost 3 years back in 2007 and I never tried. You write about playing hurling with so much passion. Thanks.
They used to play the game INSTEAD of a battle aswell, if 2 tribes had a dispute they settled it on the field, alot of men died in these matches
Watch an All-Irleland final....you'll not be disappointed. Best sport in the world. Catching, hooking, blocking, solo running, hand passing, ground strike, air strikes, side line cuts, free taking, just to name a few of the skills involved. Your born ready for it where I live 😂
And often fighting
You will never be disappointed in an all Ireland final
You'll never be disappointed in an All-Ireland final
All 32 counties of Ireland have a different colour Jersey and each of the counties play each other within the four provinces . Finally the last 2 counties play for the cup. It's very exciting. Much more important than rugby or soccer.
and with 2 good teams , the winners would not be known until the last few minutes , seconds in some cases........... a real game where all the players dont even get paid - we play for the pride of our county and country............. not like the girlies of soccer , on millions a week........ and it visible for all to see.......... passion versus image
There is no offside rule in Hurling so the play can literally shift all the way done the pitch in a blink of an eye. I remember my friend growing up in Canada was mad into Lacrosse and called field lacrosse that fastest field sport in the world... I argued it was hurling. This was before youtube etc... But TSN the main sports network in Canada used to show the All-Ireland Gaelic Football and Hurling Finals a month or so after they were played, and my mate saw the hurling on and phoned up and conceded the argument immediatlely
It's like Gaelic Football and Aussie Rules in that regard. Neither of those two football codes are for the faint of heart or the slothful. You simply have to keep up with the play - if you want to enjoy the match.
their is an offside its called a square ball
@@johncooke7617 similar rule, but not the same. Still means that in single strike, the sliotar can move almost right down the field.
Hurling was actually a form of martial arts training exercise, for ancient warriors for combat preperness. Many famous ancient warriors played hurling one of which being hero warrior Cú Chulainn. even up till the early 1900's they'd use the hurley as the gun. The stick is called a hurley or Hurl for short. The ball is a sliotar, said slit-er
martial arts me hole
I'm a girl and I play the girls version is camogie it's very fast and you must be on your feet for the whole match, and it can be down the otherside in a second, most of us girls are very competitive when playing camogie
And boys while playing hurling
I play on the camogie team and the hurling team lmao
I only learned this year that camogie was hurling. I always thought it was something like hockey
@@frostgotlost21how? Lol
I’m playing my first year of camogie this year, my team is headed for national championships in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait!
I Boxed and played hurling and Gaelic football while at school and chose to stick with boxing instead. Far too violent and fast for me but incredibly enjoying to watch even at the club level, I watched my sister lift an Ireland title with her local Belfast club Rossa.
Dad was Irish. Around once a year UK tv would show Hurling. It was so exciting.. especially seeing Dad shouting at the tv and sitting on the end of his seat, lol. many years ago my uncle played for Munster I think. The man would be over 100 years of age now.
he bought a stick each for my broter and when we were over on holidays once.. and had us doing drills with it out the back lawn. He came from a sporty family. He confiscated them from us once, for playing swords with them and causing a lot of noise when he was in bed sleeping off nights. lol.
we were here for a wedding once and the day after were all at my uncles house and My dad and his siblings, men and women in the 50s were out in the field playing an impromptu game - giving no quarter to one another. I was quite touched as I felt I was having a privileged glimpse in their home life when they were youngsters. They were all very close to one another. I once saw a Kennedy family movie of them playing touch ball or something at their home and it reminded me of my Dad and is family.. without the wealth and influence.. they had the same competiveness about sports.
You can handle the ball only twice per posession. That's why they sometimes bounce the ball off the ground, which actually resets the posession count.
the ball is a balls if you can bounce it on the ground
I’m playing since I’m 6 years old you can’t beat the passion and love we have for our own sports I love hurling the first lesson you are taught get close or your dead😂
Helmets with faceguards are mandatory now at all levels. Have been at underage levels for some time. There were no faceguards when I was a kid. I broke my upper jaw in two places playing aged 12. Classic stick to face action. When I went back playing my parents wanted me to wear an ice hockey helmet but I refused for fear of mockery. We comprimised on a gumshield(mouthguard) and I got mocked relentlesly for weeks.
brilliant
legend, can't find smily face on my laptop, fuck
My sympathy with the Hurley! Painful at the time, but a great memory. Got whacked accross both shins (no shinpads) with a hurl, in an U16 match, and couldn't lift my toes for days! Ah! but life was good!🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit when was THIS normally we would share helmets but never ever play without one
@@Noemi-jm7gh mid 80s
The goal keepers hurl has a bit more surface area at the contact point with the sliotar. That area is called the boss of the hurl. This makes it slightly easier to stop the sliotar going into the goal and for pucking the sliotar back out up the pitch.
It was played by irish warriors part of battle training to toughen young boys up.
It's not for the fearful.
I lost eye brows cracked bruised scared up.
It's more safe than when I was young. I'm 50. It is the best game and one of the oldest on the planet. It's great the game is getting the interest it deserves.
No hemlets when I played I see many people with cracked heads.
Now you know why we irish are the undisputed world champions at the Egg and spoon race!
I love how he calls it a stick and not a Hurley 😂
A beer ad about 20 years ago went along the lines, "football is for men, Hurling is for Heroes!". The Legend of Cuchulainn. The modern players are supreme athletes and highly skilled. And unpaid.
You were right the first time - "one ball to the head and it's brain damage" - although many would confide brain damage as prerequisite the desire to play.
When I was a teenager (girl) I received the brunt force of the sliotar smack right between my spine and shoulder blade when the lads were playing in the field. Full force from about a half pitch length away. It was like have the soul whacked out of my body! I played for a bit too, the girls are killers for whipping the ankles off ya, I was never any good, started too late - you have to get in when you’re young and none the wiser to avoid the fear, it’s a terrifying game to play, but a fantastic spectacle of a sport!
Female version is called Camogie (Ca-Mo-Gee) - my daughter plays it. Tough game but she loves it!
The reason they don’t constantly hit it with their hand is because the ball is as hard as a baseball, it takes it toll
I am from Ireland! Loved watching your video 👍 its so nice to see your reaction! 😂 sending love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Man that block as well... when two hurleys clash - it shakes your bones. It hurts everytime
Thats the beauty of hurling its so fast paced the scores can change in an instant the ball is called a slitter I'm actually living in limerick and we're the all ireland hurling champions for the fourth year in a row 💚💚
So sad, Kilkenny were the champs for many years. As a girl I played camogie - female hurling and it's every bit as rough as the male version. We used to play on the road and used rocks as goal post, sans posts. One time, long ago, during a match I hit my sister on the nose with my hurley. I didn't go home that night, I slept in a ditch because me Da would have killed me. Since coming to America 40 years ago, I've become quite civilized😇😇
In the Gaelic Revival when we were on our knees as a nation, these ancient games were revived to build the strength of our young men in sports and overthrew our oppressor after 800 yrs of torment. All nations have their traditions, build them up and be the best that you can be. A strong youth is a nation's strength.
That was when the 'loving' English walked all over us. My, how times have changed.
Hey from 🇮🇪 Ireland love ur reaction to our games
For Americans ( yea I’m Irish ) hurling is the fastest game on grass with means it can go on one end of the pitch to another in about like 1.5 seconds
Hurling is everything to many people in Ireland. Most people play at least a few seasons as a kid and have been to a few matches. I'm from Tipperary and we were in the final quite a bit when I was a kid so it was huge in my area.
I play for a club in Dublin but we don't have a hurling team. Idrm since it doesn't look like my kinda sport anyways. But it's part of the Irish culture so ye gotta respect it
@@senreg25 Dublin is, in terms of sociological significance, very different from most other parts of Ireland.
It's a brilliant sport. The noise from Hurl to ball is insane
Hurling is a fight that happens to be played on a field, with lines and goal posts - occasionally, a ball (sliotar) is involved in the action, more by chance than by design and their weapon of choice, is a big ass stick (a hurl), violence is mandatory and the game is allegedly controlled by an umpire. I took my daughter to a match between Down and Antrim, where a fight broke out on the field and the umpire requested that the small crowd leave the field, as the fight was only for the players, not the spectators - fair play to the spectators, they all did leave the field and they did let the players get on with it. 🤣😂🤣
Thank you for appreciate Irish cause I’m Irish and I’m a kid who loves hurling
I watched the all Ireland Final this year with my Irish neighbours and it was great. I'd seen local games before when we went to Ireland as kids (my mother is Irish) and it can get brutal
Cheers JJ, great video, love from Ireland xx
Just double checked, as though Irish, I don't really follow GAA myself but whatever match is being broadcast at the weekend someone always has it on in the house, BUT helmets are now required by all players to worn. Getting walloped by a slíotar (ball used in hurling) is no fun experience at any speed let alone the speed they're firing them off at.
Anyone playing without a helmet is insane, there have been serious head injuries. We are American, but when I take my son back to Ireland he goes to the local GAA and has learned to play hurling and Gaelic football. You should watch Gaelic football, equally insane. Took my son to his first match, Mayo vs. Kildare (Mayo for SAM!) He played American football and rugby, and the whole game he couldn't believe how nuts the rules are and no-one was ejected. He was about 12 at the time and he was like you watching this. When we got home the first thing he did was look up the local Gaelic football club here in America. Also all the players are the local butcher and doctor, they play for the glory and respect for their county, they are not professionals.
There have been deaths.
Before the helmets were made compulsory, you knew to stay the fuck away from the guys and girls WITHOUT helmets. You knew they were mad bastards who weren't scared of anything.
For the first 2990 years helmets were illegal for field players.
Dude, I love your reaction to this game.
The reactions to hurling are so funny.but if you grow up with it you don't see it as dangerous it's just normal 😂
hurling is the fastest game on grass because the sliotar can travel up to 180kph (111.85 mph)
Rules are simple 1: over the bar for a pint ( now where did I hear that before ) 2: under the bar for a goal worth three points. 3: kill an opponent and your done for murder. That's pretty much that not much in between, but what a game ,wow 😯
Actually was mainly the goalie when I played for 5 years; serious hand eye coordination is so necessary.
It's a seriously tough game; I've come out of a game with torn ligaments in my leg due to a close rang puck out straight into my leg. Countless broken fingers due to catching the sliotar (name of the ball) the wrong way or a smack of a hurly while catching a ball. Got a smack into the ribs at full force, felt like I'd broken a rib but it was luckily just bruising.
(Irish person). Noticed that they didn’t really show the brutality as though a shoulder off the ball
What would truly amaze you is how good the goal keepers are at stopping the ball. How heavy and hard the ball is, how fast it's traveling. No pads...
That think it’s so easy like omg you can hold it in your hand , what it’s so easy to just score with that big bit in the air😂
This game was played by Irish Warriors long before god was a child. The game continues today. No room for the weak, the tired or the dramatic. These people aren't paid for playing. You play for you County and your regional pride. No other country understands how intense it can get.
Play for your local club and hope you can represent your county someday. Best game in the world. 1000s of years ago It was played by young men in Ireland to prepare them to become warriors.
Like Cuchulainn
ive een playing since i was 4-5 now its hard to imagine a life without it
We're from Ireland and we love hurling
I had a great uncle who was killed playing this for County Claire, before they had helmets and shields. He was struck in the head with the stick.
When we are born the first thing we get handed is a Hurley or Hurl. Same thing just named in different counties. It's part of mythology and eliminates every year on one Sunday. In the one of the biggest Stadiums in Europe but only to hold our national games. Believe me those goalies st bullets
In Salford you could tell the hurley players who didnt wear helmets coz they had no front teef!😬
Yeah my dad born 1928 Clonmel Tipperary Ireland played for the Mechanics and the county team....lost all his front teeth :)
Love u man from Ireland
Helmets are compulsory now. Stick is made from Ash, my uncle John Torpy in six mile bridge Co Clare makes them, and he also makes them out of bamboo
Hurling is all heart, skill and passion. If your going to go in, no half measures. Don't pick the all up off the ground and as you play the rest will come to you.
Novices don't realize that if you go in half measure you're going to get hit. But the closer you can get to the person swinging the hurley the more likely it will wrap around your body (instead of getting a slap from the boss)
Tough sport but also very skillfull. Played it for 16 years in dublin ireland. But tipperary kilkenny galway cork limerick and wexford are the big boy counties of hurling dublin doesnt get a look in really.
Dublin have made massive improvements in recent years in fairness. They'll be proper contenders soon enough if they keep going that way - (from a Galwegian).
@@Hnossa yes true they have improved but winning a Liam MacCarthy before the teams i mentioned is still a fair bit away.
@@lfcgero35 Aye, Liam's a bit out of their reach still. More competition never hurts though :)
Broke my heart when limerick beat Kilkenny at the 2023 All Ireland. Guess it was time to let other counties win.
@@user-ms2wr6no8b it's been time for other counties to win it for the last 8 years, sure Limerick are on 4 in a row
"Fastest game on grass"? That's because there's no stop-work meetings as in American Football or Rugby Union, the ball can change direction without warning, and to get to the place where the action is, you have to keep running. I haven't played it in Ireland - I doubt I would've ever been able to keep up with the Irish - but even at the level I've played it, you don't stop - and for what it's worth, I've seen a goalie score a goal from his own goal square, by hitting it back into play, and the other goalie not seeing it in time ... I've never seen that in any other sport.
Fastest game on grass is because the ball could go from one end of the field to the other in just one strike. Plus it’s pretty hectic when there’s a ruck of players trying to scoop the ball off the ground.
And keep in mind that none of the players get paid to play it!?!
I am Irish and my grandparents used to be famous hurling players and hurling if your Irish is actually a bit ez
I’m ☘️ love the game. Hugely fast, and inedible skill.
Thanks for reacting to my video!
Hurling is very big in ireland,but its mostly in the southern half of the country in the rest of the country its gaelic football and soccer.Gaelic football and hurling are run by the GAA ,so the field and posts are the same.They have the third largest stadium in europe as you saw in your stadiums video
Hurling is more of a national sport though because of how unique it is. I am much more proud to say hurling is an Irish sport than football. Football is kinda an average sport
@@oisinmccarthy8717 Yes there is something just awkward and not right about football and the more they change the rules the worse it gets like the offensive mark.
@@galoglaich3281 I live in Dublin and no one wants to be a hurler
@@manuisgood1233 I think you meant to say, I live in Dublin and no one's a good hurler even after spending all that money....
@@manuisgood1233 Dublin would be in the northern half of the country so my point stands
Friend of mine literally lost all her teeth in Camogie (female version of Hurling)
The all Ireland hurling final is on Sunday 23rd of July, if you get a chance to watch do your best, considering there will be over 80,000 at the game and they are all amatures, no one gets paid and there's only winners medals
Hurling is the fastest toughest game in the world 3 points in the net 1 point over the bar..American football bro I lived in America for few yrs took me a long time to understand the rules...🇮🇪
The ball is called a sliothar(slit-er) and while in school practising and b4 face shields were mandatory i got hit with the sliothar full force on the nose which left me with 2 black eyes and a broken nose. what a game hurling is and fair play for showing it you should watch the all-ireland final match 2023, brilliant game. Also all the players dont get paid for it but train like pro athletes and you can only play for the county u are born in/resident, no swapping teams or transfers
donovan leon jersey nice, l love the reactions hoping you do concacaf preolimpico qualifiers
as far as I can tell Hurling is the origin sport of every team game we enjoy today
That sliotar is very hard! My dad broke a few ribs getting hit with the ball and multi people get injured daily (My dad makes me get ice and take care of them I seen it all)
love the egg-in-spoon race feature!
Just Watch An All Ireland Hurling Final....Just do it Bro....Peace...
The goalie just has a slightly bigger stick (the stick is called a Hurley or a Hurl, the ball is called a Sliotar (pronounced Shlitter).
Yes Gaelic football has the same scoring system, goal = 3 points and over the bar = 1 point. If the game is a draw on points, the team who scored the most goals is the winner.
A lot of players don't wear helmets and get smacked in the face by the hurley, they put football/soccoer players to shame.
FYI Irish/British people hate the football players who roll around faking injury. From my observation, the worst culprits are from "hot countries", Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, South Americans, Africans
You have to wear helmets in Hurling now, as of 2008 senior players were forced to wear helmets in games
I love when different cultures discover Irish sports. Especially when they start to play them.
The ball (known as a sliotar, which is pronounced ‘schlither’, kind of) speed makes it the fastest game on grass. No other object/ball in a field sport travels as fast.
Yeah and it's heavy AF. Get a sliothar walloped in the face and it's serious damage
@@fionaohehir3978 not as much since helmets were introduced, but you would feel it in the groin 🤣🇪🇺🇮🇪
It's fu*king massive man, greatestest game on earth
I play this very intense also the goalie is very easy to do surprisingly
Best sport on the planet ( especially to play) I was not brilliant but stupidly rough I’ve had my front teeth knocked out / concoction) both cheekbones broken/ nose broken and a few scars and these injuries are not uncommon sadly plenty have died from head injuries and NOW helmets are compulsory but you are still far from fully protected but still the biggest sport in Ireland
Hurling is hard to learn i play it!
Can you imagine every time you have the ball someone is chasing you with a stick and sometimes it might be two or 3 people chasing you 😅😅
it i ssaid that our brothers the blackfeet played hurling but they had to change to ice hockey when they were moved to the northern icy canandian border ..
I have also recently got into hurling and I'm not sure about one thing but it's a really interesting point about a very physical game with a lot of movement and running. I think you're allowed to bump into people, like using your shoulder or your arm or something like that and you're allowed to touch their stick or the ball with your stick but you can't tackle people like football. I don't think it's like rugby where you bring a fella to the ground. It's only fighting for the ball and you're welcome to push a fellow out of the way. I think that's an interesting nuance about this game that it's very very physical and adversarial, but they are not grabbing each other and only going for the ball. Definitely a positive point if you ask me and I agree, this might be the greatest sport ever invented.
goalie is the maddest person you can find
This is the greatest field sport on earth, played by amateurs . Helmets are optional but players and hand injuries are just par for the course. The ball (Sliotar) has a hard, solid core covered in leather and travels at over 100mph. Players have been killed in the past but it is very rare today.
You have to watch a match. A Munster final. Or all Ireland final day then you'll see why it's such a great game. Fast and furious.
I play hurling and I love it
Being a guy who’s just joined his first hurling club in the states with a college team, it’s as fun as it looks
Hurling is my favourite sport.I play corner forward
Watch 2014 game Tipperary/Kilkenny it was fast and so exciting to watch.
Me watching it like a normal game even shouting in my head
You asked how big is hurling really and it honestly just varies from county to county for example im from donegal and i couldnt tell you one man from the donegal hurling team but I could tell you anything you need to know about football and he have family friends in limerick and they were saying that hurling is way bigger than football down with them
They go so fast I do not know how they manage to keep track of the ball and how on earth they can work out and execute a strategy every nanosecond.
This is my first time watching hurling and I live in Ireland 😂
you should watch the 2019 version of this video its even more insane
