Last year's acquisition of GAA TV rights by Sky introduced our sports to an entire new audience.
Along with the likes of Mike from Walsall, who was unable to comprehend how keepers were expected to save shots struck 30 feet over their heads, Joey Barton was among those to take a liking to hurling and football.
Bored with England's procession against San Marino today, Barton decided that his time would be better spent watching Dublin and Mayo duke it out for a place in the All-Ireland final.
The Burnley midfielder switched over early in the second half, so he certainly the caught the best of the action.
Switching over to watch the GAA. At least it'll be competitive. FIFA need to re-think these mind-numbingly boring games against pub teams.
