Noel Gallagher has risked infuriating his fans in Ireland after branding hurling "just wrong".
The former Oasis star was in Dublin for a gig with his new band High Flying Birds at Croke Park this week, but insisted he was unimpressed with the traditional stick-based game.
He tells The Sun newspaper: "Hurling is just gang war with sticks.
"Gaelic football is a great game and quite exciting - but hurling? F*** that. Any sport where you have to wear a helmet is just wrong."
