If you see a fight u'l notice that the sticks are droped and then its just a classic scrap.

U have to play shinty before you like it because it is pretty crap 2 watch.

No I was crap at it.
I did play a game or 2 with Oban lads but that was over 20 yrs ago, there was this guy called Campbell soething ? He was a plumber, he was the furthes hitter of a shinty ball that I have ever seen from a throw up, he would hit it over 300yds, I could,nt believe it, perfect timing he had.
Infact I was at last years final, or was it the year before, when Fort William beat Inverary live from moss park, great match and a great crowd.

football involves more skill!

by **Wired 2 The Moon** » Tue May 30, 2006 1:54 pm

No!! in football the ball is larger so is easier to control and players use their feet.

In shinty the ball is tiny which means its harder to control & to make it harder, shinty players have to use a stick.

So shinty involves more skill.

If your gonna make statements like that, atleast back them up

Your comment had me going to look at the history of shinty, and apparently it goes back about 1500 to 2000 years. Keep it up, boys. You are the thread that is connecting the past to the future.

I'm reading an article written May 26 in The Herald that says "History in the making as England gets its first shinty match." http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/62822.html You might also be interested to know that there is an organization in California, NCCC, or Northern California Camanachd Club, which exists to "foster interest in this most Scottish of sports." Wonder how big a difference there is between shinty and lacrosse.

there is a few teams in london that play in the Camanachd cup so its good to know that there is a few teams down south
