Just a matter of using mechanical computers. When modern electronics fail miserably because of hackers and electromagnetic pulses, we still have the power of gear-driven calculations!

Which might not be too much of a problem, as long as it's entertaining to watch.

Indeed, pretty much like the Antikythera mechanism, the oldest computer known to man.

Looks like I learned something new today. Before you mentioned the sport, I never even heard of hurling!

There's apparently a thread for it around here somewhere :p

And I can relate. Just not with the sport, but with other sports matches being nail biters :)

Draw. It was the final, and my county was trailing behind until the last four minutes. Caught up, shot for a point in the last few seconds and just missed. Gah.

That's a shame. Was it a tornement match or a friendly?

I watched hurling once. It interested me enough to watch it again but it hasn't been on British TV since (that I've seen).

Looked at the match report, let me translate it to a corresponding footballing moment...FA Cup 2006? OK, and...that must have been extremely intense. Your poor nerves.
