Fair point For an Aussie Rules fan watching Gaelic, it is probably a bit like an NFL fan watching rugby - you can appreciate the skills etc,...
Aussie Rules is better, but Gaelic's not bad. Just not physical enough.
Couple of options: 1) as you have done, advise (not really a 'warning') the bowler that he is blocking your view. The umpire does not need to...
