This brings me to the GAA, where there is a marked difference in the approach taken by the hurling and football experts. At times hurling does fit that description, but there are a lot of bad hurling games as well. I counted 11: Meath v Offaly; Clare v Waterford; Kildare v Wicklow; Tyrone v Derry; Louth v Wexford; Cavan v Monaghan; London v Galway; Armagh v Down; the drawn game between Kildare and Longford; Armagh v Cavan and Roscommon v Mayo. Two of those – Armagh v Down and Armagh v Cavan – went to extra-time. Meath v Offaly was Division 1 v 3, while Tyrone v Derry and Galway v London was Division 1 v Division 4.
