Now they know what all the fuss is aboot.

GAA people are always telling the world about how great Gaelic Football and Hurling is and thanks to Sky Sports broadcasting it in the UK and GAA Go opening it up to an international audience, the world is starting to find out for itself. Canadian TV channel SportsnetONE broadcast Sunday’s epic All-Ireland semi-final between Galway and Tipperary last night and judging by the reaction, it won’t be the last time they’ll do it. https://twitter.com/SportsGoth/status/633844322194952192 https://twitter.com/Helikelsey/status/633844162782085120 https://twitter.com/AbbyStu/status/633846213838794752 https://twitter.com/ScottGreenwald3/status/633847270954307584 https://twitter.com/RinglerunSk/status/633845634898923520 https://twitter.com/CDN_BRUINS_FAN/status/633839237025165312 https://twitter.com/bonimbibe/status/633843911560040449 https://twitter.com/balaneski/status/633842323600748544 Considering that the game is already being touted as one of the best ever, it’s not really a surprise that the Canadian audience reacted the way they did; give it a few years and they’ll be as enthusiastic as this guy. Hat-tip to Calgary Chieftains GAA and David Mullins for the heads up on this one
