@@AwakenedAvocado there are some similarities and for a while they experimented with a hybridised game between the two nations that involved a round ball and a mixture of scoring systems from both games. Unsurprisingly, the Irish tended to win more than the Australians. The big differences are the shape of the ball, scoring, tackling (in Australian Rules, not Gaelic) and bouncing the ball rather than playing it off your foot in Australian Rules.

Murray Walker was the only reason a lot of people watched F1

I'm sitting listening to this video with a grin from ear to ear and I can't help it

This man should be hired to announce every single game for every single sport. Give him a couple of beers, a microphone, and he could make _golf_ interesting

6:57 This is the quality content we really want when watching football.

I wish I could take a swig and sit next to this man on this beautiful morning

Drunk sports commentators, why haven't other sports though of this genius idea

[@tomtownsend5009]

Just amazing! Reminds me of staying with my cousins in Borris in Ossory in the early 90s :)

The fact he wasn't bought on to commentate on the All-Ireland final on national TV is one of the great missed opportunities of history. Like Roman steam engines.

Might be on this weekend

Started laughing like a maniac at the mid-sentence burp. This man is a legend.

Gaelic football looks to me like an interesting combination of soccer football, American football, and basketball.

And an Academy Award winning slug for good measure!

[@karl46]

The All Ireland final is on this Sunday if you want to see a higher level match. Commentary won't be as fun though

[@Meladjusted]

Looks more like a combo of football and rugby with a touch of basketball sprinkled on top.

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

except Gaelic Football is older then all 4 of those sports

[@igitha..._]

Balls all round

I regularly come back to this video because it brings me so much joy. Thanks for matching the emphasis to some of Eddie’s words in the subtitles - it adds that extra level of funny 😂
