International Rules comes to Copenhagen

Well Niels you look like you have complete control of the "O'Neills" (round Gaelic ball). Good write up too, readers should click the link.

Cuda - glad to have you on the bandwagon, but Inter-rules will only be the game of the future if Gaelic and Aussie Rules continue their parallel growth in the world - and there is no reason to suggest the 2 codes won't. I think there'll be place for all 3 codes for many decades to come and the final vote will be by the fans, players and administrators of the far future.

What a mistake!

I think International Rules is the worst mistake the AFL has ever made. Compromising the rules of our great great game, it's blasphemy. It isn't even played with an oval ball. I just hope the AFL doesn't dig a hole it can't get out of.

This money could go towards developing the game overseas.

Glen Archer recently said in the Herald Sun in Melbourne that he'd prefer they bring back State Of Origin footy than be involved in International Rules football. Amen brother.

What a mistake!

Your views are held by a large minority of fans Ash - as indicated on a poll on this website. Polls on Bigfooty.com have suggested a roughly 50:50 view, though that could reflect a more traditional footy group. As far as I understand from AFL and GAA announcements, the IR series is paying for itself and not requiring money to be spent. At a local international level it seems great enjoyment is had in these games - both before and after the actual matches.

Your comments nonetheless are very welcome. There have been plenty of debates about this on Bigfooty.com
