Right so 3 teams have won a hurling all-ireland in the last 10 years with 8 different counties contesting finals (probably the best team ever in hurling the cause of more counties not winning a final).... also 5 teams have won a football all-ireland in the last 10 years with 7 different teams contesting the final also sure kerry have more football all-ireland and kilkenny have hurling all-irelands. Also go back to the 90's 6 different teams won an all-ireland in hurling and 8 different teams contested all-ireland finals, 8 different teams won an all-ireland in that time frame with 10 different teams contesting finals so their isn't as big a gap between them as you make out.

How come only Tipp Kilkenny and Cork win them so ?
what about the other 9 or 10 counties who compete. And in relation to soft have you ever got a belt of a hurley or a little punch in football?

easy to answer the first question because it is such a poor game only ten teams in it and only a few of them any good at it ,its so boring every year .
got planty of belts of hurleys, broke plenty of fingers and an ankle , punch in football no cant say i have ever been punched in football, was hit off the ball in a hurling match once by a scamp from a county i wont mention ,as i dont want to start another debate.

you obviously never played football so

and in relation to your answere there are about 20 teams in it but they can only play in Christy Ring cup because hurling is an acquired skill but any joe soap can kick a ball!

Sound like no-one though you one of the most skilful parts of hurling protecting yourself it's a faster game and it uses a stick....doh therefore there's a bigger chance your going to get hurt!!

Id put Kilkenny as the 3rd best hurling team of all time Hag
behind the Tipp team of the present day whom I think will also win at least 4 and third behind the Tipp team of the 60s which won 4 out of 5 All Irelands just like the present Kilkenny team only that they were a far superior outfit

Good man Pomeroy, "it was easier to win football all-irelands 100 years ago" If it was so easy to win football all-irelands back then how come it took Tyrone 109 years to win their first one?

More counties play football because it's easier to play. We need to keep working hard at developing young players in counties where hurling is not strong at the minute. In fairness to Paidi Butler he has made a great effort in his technical role.

For 100 odd years Tyrone were pretty much useless. I'm not debating that. In recent years we've had success and I think this success will continue for years to come. The one thing I'm proud of though is that through all those barren years we never took the easy option of playing Hurling. The recent success is all the more sweeter knowing that there are 20 - 25 odd counties who want to win Sam and not the meagre 3 or 4 who actually care about the dying sport that is Hurling

Ah...How quickly a thread can veer off-topic and descend into the infantile my Da's got more medals than your Da nonsense. I'm going to apply my own rule of thumb. If I see a thread has been hijacked by the usual lots-of- noise-but-nothing-really-to-say merchants then I move on.

Hurling will never die Pomeroy and football is the easy option not hurling as even my 2 year old can throw the ball.
I hope he will have the skill to play hurling not everyone has it then they have to try the big ball

And shure in football dont Kerry nearly win it every year thats why they have 36 All Irelands then a team like Tyrone and Down etc come every 100 years or so to stop the sequence.

For a man that loves the gain you make a fair attempt at slagging it off "easy to answer the first question because it is such a poor game " you contradicted yourself there!!
Also you don't know where your arguement is comming from firstly you say
"hurling is for boys who are too soft for football"
and then go on to say
"got planty of belts of hurleys, broke plenty of fingers and an ankle , punch in football no cant say i have ever been punched in football, was hit off the ball in a hurling match once by a scamp from a county i wont mention"

Is that not a bit of a contridiction there again so figure out what your arguement is first bright spark!!

I sincerely hope you're making that up about having a 2 year old, 'shure' you come across as an 11 year old. Hurling I'm afraid is dying. More and more counties are realising what a waste of time and resources it is. In most counties no-one cares in the slightest about Hurling. You can make up laughable facts like it's so difficult to play (what's difficult about hitting a ball with a stick anyway) all you want but we both know they're lies. Enjoy your second rate competition that consists of a handful of second rate counties

Yes Pomeroy and I also have an 20 yr old who is being called up for Tipp u21s
Did you ever notice that when a hurling game is on first nobody hangs around for the football as it is hard to adapt to the montony of the game and all the stoppages due to fouling as there are about three frees every minute on average .
Football has a few good teams like Kerry and Dublin and to a lesser extent Cork and Meath the rest are "also rans" a abit like the hurling.

Now that makes it approximately 4 teams that dominate football consistently whereas in hurling you have 12 strong teams,

looks to me like its the football thats in trouble, paricularly up around Tyrone. You should learn from the Tipp boys how to win football All Irelands when we have time to chat to after the real game of hurling is finished in September. Maybe we could send a few football coaches up to ye what do you think Pomeroy??

586509 There's a reason Hurling is treated like this, it just isn't that good or popular a sport. That's the bottom line I'm afraid. And it's quite laughable to expect the revenue to be split 50/50 when the majority comes from football, why should Hurling get money from footballing events. I'd be all for two seperate organisations

Well if you took the revenue from the Dubs and probably Cork in the football, I bet hurling generates only a small amount less. Look at Munster - hurling revenue definitely would be bigger. And so why should Ulster get the benefit of the Cork and Dublin supporters? Should the Dubs get all the revenue from their home matches? In 2009 hurling gate receipts were £8.3m in the championship and £1.1m in the league against £11.2m and £2.6m for football. Take the Dubs out and I bet they are about the same. So on money side, more than happy to take our lot. Also those figures exclue the christy ring etc and the minor an dunder 21 where the gate receipts were bigger for hurling.

Now if you really think that hurling isn't good or popular, its either an awful WUM or you're clearly blind.

And for those pointing out about Kilkenny footballers....every club in kilkenny fields under age football clubs....a number of the current kilkenny hurling TEAM play club football for their clubs....a Kilkenny player nearly missed an all ireland final two years ago due to an injury in a club football match......Kilkenny is entering the championship in the next few years....how is it different that a load of counties play in Sam bu not in Liam......and the fact that we get beat by cricket scores every time is due to the problem that we aren't very good. I'm sure if kilkenny played New York in hurling we'd have a cricket score...same difference.

Football counties in certain areas, particulary the North and North West pay lip service and no more to hurling. The hurlers in those counties are the true gaels. Playing for th elove of the game with little or no support from their county board. And pomeroy, I really hope that you sit down and watch the Tipp Kilkenny match and pick any football game that had as much skill and excitement as that.

Also another thread where pomeroy got shown up.
