Wasn't expecting the Kildare thread to be livelier than this thread

05-09-2015 10:22pm

A wise man once said(at the Open Championship when Jason Day tee'd off.. Though he didn't win a major till the USPGA)... "Todays the day".

I think today could be the day for Galway.

What I want more though, win or lose, is a few years of consistency.
Back in the semis year after year and I fully believe we'll win one in the next 3/4 years provided this years performances are replicated.

The supporters, me .you and everybody that shouts for Galway need a win sooner not later.
Tomorrow would be fine and welcome.
Get consistent then ,keep winning .

Galway, let's do this!

TCDStudent1 · 06-09-2015 9:17am

Bit of a first world problem but why do they make the ai tickets so wide?? The semi final ticket fitted nicely into my wallet, just like a 20 euro not but this one is very awkward indeed!

I'll take it of ya. It'll fit in mine. Dont want ya inconvenienced like

Nickindublin · 06-09-2015 11:21am

Any suggestions for a good Dublin City Centre pub. One that will have the volume up so you can hear the build up to the game?

It's ok, I managed to fit it in! :-)

2 hill tickets desperately wanted, PM please

Rightwing · 06-09-2015 11:58am

KK to beat the spread.

Back in the Celtic Tiger days the tickets were even bigger and were laminated. They were made in the US and shipped over I think.

What's the spread?

Probably not a bad bet,
The game could be extremely tight for 65 minutes and Kilkenny still win by 8-10 points in the end, we've seen it so often in the past

Handicap betting.

For example KK are 8/15 to win the game with Paddy Power. But if you back them at (-3) you'll get 11/10. So they'd have to win by 4 pts or more. That's what he meant by 'covering the spread'. If someone was going to back KK that would probably be the way to go,as if they do win it could easily be by a 4+ margin.

Yeah I know what it is - I meant how much is it!

If Kilkenny win, I'd fancy them to fit by more than 3 alright. But in going for a Galway win!

ShamoBuc · 06-09-2015 1:11pm

Hoping for a Galway win. Think it would be good for hurling to see kk beaten but for this to happen galway will have to perform to the best of their ability. Hopefully the game won't be decided by a bad decision or a sending off. This could be a cracker, especially if Galway make a good start.

JustTheOne · 06-09-2015 1:11pm

Is this sold out?

its called a sellout yet the attendance will be an odd number less than the capacity of 82,300.

I've a weeks wages on the cats! They'll win be at least 8 I'd say. Tipp were awful last day and Galway still only beat us by the minimum...

I was at the tipp kk final in 2011. Tickets were easily picked up outside quinns pub. I actually saw one fan approach a guard directing traffic with a sob story and the cop gave him a ticket! Tbf I imagine they're hill tickets or nally stand ones.

Hammer Archer · 06-09-2015 3:16pm

Just a friendly reminder before the game starts:
No deliberate winding up of other posters.
No Illegal streams.
No abuse of other posters, players, managers, referees.
No use of inflammatory language such as thug, scum(bag) etc.
No backseat moderation. Report any posts you feel cross the line as we mods don't read every single post.
We'll have no hesitation to ban posters if they ignore this warning.
Think about what you're posting before you post.

This has been a peaceful enough thread so far so hopefully it stays that way.
Enjoy the game lads and lassies

Lady Chatterton · 06-09-2015 3:22pm

Good Luck Galway, I hope you can do it!

RobertKK · 06-09-2015 3:23pm

Good luck Kilkenny, it doesn't matter how many finals your county has been in, you just want to win it.

LuckyGent88 · 06-09-2015 3:25pm

Expecting a cracker. Really hope Galway can do it.

Mantis Toboggan · 06-09-2015 3:27pm

Hoping Galway will win but fully expect kk to win by 5-10 points.

DanielODonnell · 06-09-2015 3:29pm

not often you see a derryman at a hurling game

thinkstoomuch1 · 06-09-2015 3:30pm

I normally go kk and all logic points to kk but today imo could be the one exception to the rule
I think Galway once management learn from tippeary game and there will be a point they have to change things like a player or sub and once it's done right and fast I think Galway will win today and today is there best chance
Kk are vulnerable today and next year won't be
Hurling needs Galway to win as no other teams going to beat kk next year

I think Galway will win today
I have concerns over cunningjham from last game however I'll trust him today as I do rate him as a good manager
Canning is due a big game
Galway I think will win it
Cunningham better position Galway lost the leinster title as you only get once chance beat kk
Has to be today and if it's a replay they won't win
Has to be today

JONJO THE MISER · 06-09-2015 3:31pm

C'MON Galway.

Western Pomise · 06-09-2015 3:34pm

Massive block by Coen there....Galway backs standing off a bit....good start to game.

RobertKK · 06-09-2015 3:37pm

Referee giving easy free to Galway.

JONJO THE MISER · 06-09-2015 3:38pm

Lovely point.

ShamoBuc · 06-09-2015 3:39pm

Savage intensity from galway

Mantis Toboggan · 06-09-2015 3:39pm

Canning has started well

JONJO THE MISER · 06-09-2015 3:40pm

Thats the way to do it.

awaywithyou · 06-09-2015 3:43pm

Ref favouring Galway so far

RobertKK · 06-09-2015 3:43pm

Woohoo, lovely goal.

RobertKK · 06-09-2015 3:44pm

About time Kilkenny have been giving a free. Took a helmet to come off...

Galway haven't done anything before this to concede any though.

Good stuff so far. hopin galway can keep it together for a close game .

Mr.Crinklewood · 06-09-2015 3:48pm

KilKenny fan in pub appealing for a black card there ☺

Gentleman Off The Pitch · 06-09-2015 3:49pm

Typical Smith

awaywithyou · 06-09-2015 3:50pm

Hope to Christ kk win... Think I'd rather see Holden lifting cup and not Andy 'I'm a hard man stand back' smith

Mr.Crinklewood · 06-09-2015 3:52pm

Game on the edge

RobertKK · 06-09-2015 3:53pm

Referee should put on a Galway shirt.

Old Perry · 06-09-2015 3:53pm

Bit of cop on needed there, to early for that messin.

LuckyGent88 · 06-09-2015 3:53pm

Harsh free that one. What a score though
