Looks like it should be a decent watch, some great footage in there!

Hope they also explain that expats in the US are forced to pay $20 if they want to watch the games at 11 am in a dismal Irish bar..

its a paytv channel, but they do have stuff from a few days back so maybe give it a few more days and they'll make it public

I watched it on Tuesday night here, it was good, about 20 minutes long. They made a big point about amateurism with both Shefflin and Cusack saying they wouldn't have it any other way and how the millions made on the big days are poured back into the small clubs around the country.

Please keep us posted about the possibility of seeing it.
I heard it's part of a series called "The greatest sports you never saw" or something like that. Anyone know what other sports are featured? I'm sure nobody's surprised that hurling made the list

Yeah right.

I doubt that if they were offered money to play inter county hurling they would turn it down.
