Dunno if that's handball, it could be squash.

"Finn Wexford", I love it.

They're very touchy feel-y after the Goal....

And that referee is far too big!


And we'll have to give Lukin some lessons in the handball alley while we're at it! Hopefully ag úsáid Gaeilge níos fearr ná na lads sin! :P

Handball is quite popular in America, and not just with Irish Americans etc. They also have proper alleys in the various cities. Also they play for money and a good player can make quite a good living as a professional.

Northern accent I would have thought. Not anything like a scottish accent...

Scottish play shinty so maybe they could have been getting in some practice for the compromise rules game between Scotland and Ireland.

Great to see it on CSI

Was talking about the accent in Irish, have a few mates from Donegal,

You're definitley right though...

siobhanmcgg

ah the accent is 100% Scottish alright, that drives me mad, I'm sure there are tonnes of Irish actors in America that could fill those roles- why are Irish accents always so bad on American tv?! and most of those guys looked as though they had had a ten minute crash course on hurling- I think I saw some who weren't even holding the hurls properly!

Them accents are atrocious along with the hurling. Credit to CSI though promoting the game over there!The handball is one-wall handball it originated in the states and is played by over a million people outdoors all year round in NY alone.

Yeah it's a massive game over there . We have a few players in the worlds top ten.

First time I've ever seen ghetto hurling...I mean "he told us we had to move on, find a new place to play"

Defo 100% Scottish accent and could anyone actually make out what the Scottish guy said in Irish? The actual Irish I mean not what it means. Sounded more like French or something.

As for hurling itself...pretty shocking attempt alright. Can't really understand why they couldn't get a few extras who actually knew how to even hold the hurley and an actual Irish actor who wasn't Scottish wouldn't have gone amiss either.

Mardy Bum

Irish players don't come near the best Americans there might be at a push one Irish player (Paul Brady) who'd beat the 10th best 1 wall player in America.
