Not a huge fan of the GAA myself, have to agree hurling is most defiantly one of the fastest sports in the world. Don't watch it all that much either. I watch football from time to time, much prefer football myself.

I totally get where your coming from as I am a very strong football fan although I've never shared with anyone on here my GAA side and from getting sticky from the Fan Lounge I just wanted to share:) Love football sports and although I'am happy I have been brought up focusing on Gaelic as I have recently completed the greatest achievement of my life ahaha

Hurling looks so fun if I'm honest, way too many aspects within the game for me to keep up though

Very dangerous game at that to as helmets have only became permanent recently, players (including goal keepers) used to never wear ANY type of protection or padding. But still as it is now, think I'll stick to my Gaelic

Love GAA play it everyday with My mates p.s My unlce is Kevin Nolan if you know who he is

The proper term would be full back ;). Yeah I am a follower of GAA myself. Support Tyrone(Winners of the McKenna cup ). Great sport to watch! So fun. Its not like some of the other sports where the fans are together, in GAA you can mix in the crowd.

although when it comes to hurling, Kilkenny gets my vote

Ok now I have thought for a while about the question in the title...(quickest sport on grass?) And I personally think that my countries sport of hurling is the quickest and most entertaining sport to play and watch. I come from a quite strong Irish household myself and have been playing Gaelic football all my life, most proudly getting called up for county trials which unfortunately didn't work out. Also love to follow football as some of you already know, but here it is, hurling and I hope some people here can appreciate the sport. Thank You!

Ahhh, Hurling... That is an insane sport..
I tore some ligaments in my knee during baseball season and had to get surgery and all.. and my physical therapists was from Ireland working on a visa.. He told me about this and it is straight up insane. He played for a local team in Charlotte, NC.
