The 2007 International Rules Series was to be the 10th series of international rules football to be played between Ireland and Australia since the establishment of the annual International Rules Series tournament and the 16th tour overall and was to have been held in Australia. The tour however was cancelled after violence marred the 2005 and in particular 2006 series', with much of the blame being laid by Irish commentators on the rough tactics of the Australian team.
In December 2006, the GAA decided to abandon the 2007 series.
"On the recommendation of the Management Committee, it was agreed that there would be no Junior or Senior Series of games in 2007. suspended for 2007
The series was renewed in 2008.
Famous quotes containing the words rules and/or series:
“Can rules or tutors educate
The semigod whom we await?
He must be musical,
Tremulous, impressional,
Alive to gentle influence
Of landscape and of sky
And tender to the spirit-touch
Of man’s or maiden’s eye.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
