Football Better Than Hurling In 2025? Thank You Jim Gavin,

Replying To Lockjaw:  "I never really got the obsession with comparing hurling with football. Two vastly different sports. Hurling is way more helter-skelter than football and there are more one-on-one duals to win possession. Each to their own."
Hurling has a different problem with points scored at ease from all angles and distances. Maybe a 5-pts goal might cure this.

I wonder if the two-pts arc could be used 'in reverse' in hurling - a 2-pointer from 'inside the arc' after an Advanced Mark (a '40/40, akin to football's '45/20', but from inside the defensive arc to inside the attacking one, a puck of 65m or so).
