Carlinate   10 #2 Posted July 15, 2017 Born in Sheffield to an English father and Irish mother, I have been a Blade all my life.  Had a season ticket/card for 44 years at the Lane and been there for all the highs and lows from years before then.  Despite which, Association Football is only my second sporting love.  In my opinion, the game that I had seen played fifty times or more before I ever saw a game of professional football is the greatest team game in the world.  Everyone that has played the game as well as playing football or rugby agrees with that assessment.  Roy Keane,Niall Quinn, Dennis Erwin from football, and Keith Wood, Tom Kiernan ( rated among the greatest Irish and Lions rugby players of all time ) have all said that Hurling is the greatest team game played on grass in the world.  It is faster, more skillful, more exciting and harder than football or rugby.  It is an amatuer sport, and doesn't lend itself to TV because the ball is too small and the action too fast.  I was at the first All Ireland game in 2013, there were 81,651 in attendance, the game was drawn and the replay was watched by 82,276.  I was on a family holiday in Majorca and watched the replay live in a bar.  Millions watched both games around the world and I was in the ground for the first one.  https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj9pee9rIzVAhUIIcAKHZjUDmIQtwIIMzAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dm0u1kjhlHJ4&usg=AFQjCNHP7VkYBvDB8XyuDkTtmNZWp0JhmA  This was the replay that I watched in Majorca, Roy Keane was at both, his team lost, mine won.  https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj9pee9rIzVAhUIIcAKHZjUDmIQtwIIOTAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DflF4ddZmPh4&usg=AFQjCNHMKTQicLS7LhKk3grTJaZw01GwPQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

taxman   12 #6 Posted July 16, 2017 Field Mill, 1994-95 season. Mansfield 1 - Bury 5. Phil Stant scored 4 and got a standing ovation from the whole crowd at the end. He'd previously been a Mansfield player.  Memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tinfoilhat   11 #7 Posted July 16, 2017 I think people will hark back to 2013 where Matt prior led a rear guard action against New Zealand when England batted out 4 (5?) sessions to save a match. That will never, repeat, never happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
