First time watching this and it’s a fun sport. Does it have any relation to Aussie rules ? As some of the rules seem similar

That's Ireland for you though, every village hates the next, despite 90% of them being related.

I'm just a bitter Dub today. :)
For sure, but there’s always been an obsession down in Kerry about “how many South Kerry lads” vs “how many east Kerry lads” vs Killarney. When I lived in Dublin I never heard anyone seriously talk about the number of south side vs north side players.

I have no idea either, yet.

No that's just it. It's not Dubs who want to split Dublin! It's everyonefeckingelse :)

If you hop on the bandwagon really quick you can celebrate the Warriors-Kerry double header with me. Since Kerry last won the all Ireland in 2014, I have to look up to see if that’s ever happened before in the one summer

I fully agree. Entertaining game. Nice to see teams not wearing light blue win something in GAA land.
Played in a great spirit too. No off the ball nastiness from what I saw or heard of
no Ulster or Dublin helped there I reckon

That black card non call was scandalous. Otherwise I thought the ref did well.

McDaid was mighty for Galway.
