Foreigners reacting to Irish stuff is the bread and butter of the Irish media at this stage.
Future historians may well remember 2014 as the year of the British Twitter Reaction. We, of course, bear some responsibility for this phenomenon.

It was a post idea that we thought might interest people.
This proved to be correct.
It proved to be correct on a massive scale. The traffic on the post was simply extraordinary. Two years on, it remains the most popular post in the history of the site.
This week, we have Canadians watching some hurling. The results are predictably predictable.
'Baseball on steroids'... 'It has all the brutality of lacrosse, the finesse of soccer'... 'Ireland's dirty secret'...
