Why would someone want to know what the Irish think about anything?
The international rules games are completely pointless - like all sport and most other things in life. The issue seems to be how obvious it is that it's pointless. It highlights the general pointlessness of things, which scares people who make a living from writing about it. If people catch on then they'll stop paying attention to them. So rubbishing the game is really just a self defense mechanism.
I reckon if plotted a graph of how seriously a commentator/journalist/tv personality thinks they are compared to how much they hate the game, you'd get some sort of inversely proportional thing going.
I bet Hutchy hates it.

It's not a Victorian thing; he doesn't know half the players, so can't bag / dish dirt on them; they don't know who he is, so won't give him the time of day.
You bet Hutchy hates it.
By the end of the series though, they probably will know him. Then they'll be lining up with cans of tuna. Frozen tuna.

Sounds like if you had your way, larkin, it would be the International Love In.
For me to extend the hand of international friendship after 6 months of bagging opposition sides would be the real insult. You have to let go of the intolerance that his holding you prisoner and learn to bag without prejudice.

I guess you'd like their comments on us being thugs and van demons and we could call them weak girly boys but there is some other stuff there like how both our games have changed since the IR started like... Both games have tracked remarkably similar routes over the past 10yrs at almost the same time. everything from the swans and Armagh/Tyrone introducing the swarm defence to both games, to heavily one sided finals in the same years, down to a hard to call crunch AI/Grand Final this year and the games reverting back to a more open attractive style of play. Which is a bit more intelligent whether it is true or not. But ok Shane lets smash those weak lilly girly boys back into the last century and teach'm what a mans game is all about.
