If you ever wanted to explain to someone what the GAA was, just show them these shots.

Sky Sports were airing the All-Ireland qualifier between Cork and Wexford this evening and, as per usual, it had some of its non-Irish spectators dumbfounded. We're proud of our games here so when Sky do broadcast them, we want to make sure that they're as loved as they should be. We rarely have doubts about it though and this first tweet of the evening showed just that confidence. https://twitter.com/Mc1988/status/617392851090059264 And some English people were duly impressed - as they always are. https://twitter.com/scrivwatts/status/617395122146279424 https://twitter.com/cricketcelt/status/617408963739557889 Some guys still need explaining though. https://twitter.com/andycarter73/status/617406984879480832 So, rather than go through the rules, the format, the culture, we thought we'd let these amazing scenes at half time at Wexford Park tell their own story of what the GAA really is about. https://twitter.com/DonalOgC/status/617404058337415169 https://twitter.com/Hullbhoy/status/617406874657378305 https://twitter.com/GaryMurphyDCU/status/617404564149563392 We hope the big man was impressed.
