I disagree that the game is much better now than 10/20/30 years ago.Not really
Hurling is a very fast game, always has been always will be.
They dont apply a lot of the rules and the fact you can strike a ball 70-90mtrs with relative ease
Football is a much slower game and won't change.
It's always going to be more tactical
It's a much better game now than it was 10,20,30 years ago thankfully
Those who harp on about the games of days gone by are just delusional.
Is the game there for entertainment (for which there are no additional points given) or for winning?
Certain aspects- yes, but not the same excitement or the individual battles.
I was never bored watching games years ago, but many games now are boring and a hard watch.
