are you telling me maurice fitsgerald, seamus moynihan graham canty and anthony lynch have no skill?

I have played it plenty of times but in comparison to hurling in skill level.......well, there is no comparison.

Whenever they made us play bogball in school we used turn it into a game of soccer.

Aye love to play whenver I get the chance-with ma borthers, mates, dad grandad etc. Snooker is good raic to-ma mate got a (half size) table recently and I learned the rules! Great fun cannae stop!

I spent manys a school day in the local snooker hall. I still suck at it though.

I'm not a huge fan of 9-ball. You can pot all the balls except the 9 and then the other guy, who's potted nothing comes along and pots the 9 to win. I prefer normal pool.

doesn't this tell its own story.

i'll agree with you that hurling is an ultra skillfull game but football is still a skillfull game.if you put any game up against hurling it wont compare favourably.i'm a big fan of hurling BTW.
a "skillless" game wouldn't attract the biggest crowds year after year!

Fair point. As I said though I'm from Kilkenny where there is zero interest and therefore zero appreciation of the sport.

It might be easier to make a list of sports I don't like. But I can't think of any!
Will play or watch pretty much anything.
If pushed for favourites I'd have to say hurling and darts. With Gaelic football not far behind, oh and golf.
