Astorians with tickets

I live 10 mins from Cardiff
Can see the stadium from up the road.

Everyone should at least come to Cardiff once for a rugby match even if its just drinking in a pub!!

Oh no... don't say that. Has Cardiff turned red then??? Oh you're gonna have a great weekend if you're in the pub and Munster win. I've been to Wales a few times on the Booze Cruise so it was just Holyhead but I love the Welsh.

Yeah... I guess this whole Eurovision thing is really for the fun factor!

BTW I LOVE rugby! I live a spit away from Twickenham stadium but we never seem to be able to get tickets to matches there!

I’ve only ever been to two matches – my first was last November Ireland V All-Blacks and we had the best seats in the place. Had to walk on the pitch to get to them as the teams were out warming up – it was amazing. Then I got to a six nations match this year – it was only Italy but still just brilliant to get to a six nations match. I get soooo into it every year more than any sport. The Gaelic football and hurling started up last week and I was watching one of the hurling matches and shouting at the ref ‘for fuck sake that was blatently FORWARD’

I follow international rugby and sometimes watch other matches if they are being shown on the beeb.

So HH, these hurling games...do they have a rule like in ice hockey whereby if two fella's start having a go at each other the ref can order a time out and they both get 30 seconds to beat the crap out of each other? Simply put, is there any ruckin' with sticks?

I absolutely go crazy for ICE hockey. Used to go out with an ice hockey player - was very interesting - never knew what his face would look like each time I saw him. Worse than boxing!

I've seen gaellic football - I guess it's OK - not crazy about ball games unless it's rugby, aussie rules or american football. Hurling looks like hockey - a bit borning to me!

We have fun in our house when it's England vs. France and I love it when France wins (of course)!

Oh I won’t even comment on Ireland V England :eek: . Doesn’t matter if we lose all the other matches – if we win that one, it’s like we won the grand slam. There’s just nothing better than a rugby day out.

If you like rugby, aussie rules and american Footy, it’s surprising you don’t like Gaelic football cos it’s quite similar to aussie rules and rugby. Well my county has a huge history in Gaelic football anyway. But we’re crap these days :( . Last year was pretty emotional though cos the team who won the All-Ireland – their captain had died just before the championship the year before and they were a mess but last year they got it together and did it for him and they were unstoppable. They were all crying and everything afterwards – it was lovely.

Hurling? Boring??? :eek: I've seen it mostly described as a mixture of hockey and murder and that's not far off.

Excellent!! Nothing more entertaining on a rainy Sunday afternoon than watching 20 men armed with sticks beating the shit out of each other in the name of sport. Other than watching darts that is - which is a REAL sport for athletes of the Essex variety.

LMAO... my ex was mad into darts . It's just not really big here in Ireland but I watched a match once - the final of something with that Jelly guy and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
