Hurling virgins worldwide were predictably shell-shocked by what just happened

One of the good things about Sky is that we get to show off how great we are and by Jesus aren't we just great?

The hurling final came and went and the hurling final was cracking. End to end, massive, massive hits, would-be heroes refusing to fall, serious skill, savage intensity, nerves of absolute steel. When hurling is played like it was on Sunday in Croke Park, there are very few things like it on this earth. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/904360878857969664 If Irish people love one thing though, it is being Irish and what better expression of that Irishness than a clash of the ash between two passionate counties trying desperately to bridge decades of hurt? So roll up, rest of the world, come see what you're missing. And roll up, they did. Drool, they did. Wince, they did. From renowned journalists to professional sportsmen, Galway v Waterford in The Battle For Liam was their first experience of hurling and what an experience it must've been. Their reactions were nothing we haven't seen before but it wouldn't be like us to skim over praise for the Irish. Besides, the reactions to the reactions were even better. They're not used to the obligatory sub shoulder. https://twitter.com/weavs70/status/904368101332049920 Oliver Kay from The Times in England was absorbed and confused. https://twitter.com/OliverKayTimes/status/904383388366364673 But does he know that those lads don't get paid? https://twitter.com/cglancy1989/status/904384857484165120 Does he know there's another final in two weeks? https://twitter.com/martinpmcevoy/status/904384815868379137 And does he know that those lads don't get paid? https://twitter.com/smilie1978/status/904383777912311809 Confusion but love https://twitter.com/dbay83/status/904384480525344768 Brilliance but... they don't get paid. https://twitter.com/keithdaly6/status/904384032133316608 Not everyone was enjoying it. https://twitter.com/Ger1888Lundie/status/904386356595625986 https://twitter.com/bobbit1234/status/904396239508254720 Do they not know that those lads don't get paid? https://twitter.com/ciangeary/status/904384713535569921 https://twitter.com/ged0407/status/904387782763831296 There's always one there to take an opportunistic swipe. https://twitter.com/SnapNOLA/status/904384997246808064 Northamptonshire's finest was impressed with the carnage. https://twitter.com/AlexWakely1/status/904372039338819585 Like rhinos. https://twitter.com/johngibbonsblog/status/904370737389109249 Where have you been all our lives? https://twitter.com/TheRobHarvey_/status/904353889323028480 Brace yourselves for the back-slapping... https://twitter.com/GavinGarscadden/status/904374840731238404 https://twitter.com/L3mmuf3ztar/status/904381603983609856 https://twitter.com/Shaun_Ritchie/status/904383972217675777 https://twitter.com/Sarmarpad/status/904391034091786240 Do you know those lads don't get paid? https://twitter.com/PatrickGargan84/status/904388213393031168 https://twitter.com/klopps__kop/status/904379811421970433
