What colour is the cliff now?

deise go deo

I was talkin to one of the lads who paint it blue and white last night.
Then I heard this morning that it was black and amber again.

So what is it now?

jonnyfingers

Honestly, by this stage, who cares?

The whole thing is so tiresome and repetitive!

Sully

Was B&A late afternoon anyway, was putting up the "Good Luck" sign for our hurlers.

The rock painting, imo anyway, is a bit of lighthearted craick. I don't like the Ard Ri being targeted though.

To me it's a very naff and tacky thing to be doing. It makes the place look cheap.

And what about when someone falls off? Its bound to happen soon if people are up there twice a day.

What will the rock read then? "R.I.P. Jimmy 'the razz' mac" :cool:

How nice.

Dr. Baltar

It's great local banter in fairness!
No harm in it whatsoever.

I dont think so, no more than putting up flages everywhere,

The fella I was talkin to said its not too dangerous up there, They bring ladders and rolers to do the job.

Do you really want it to stay black and amber?:pac:

It is only a bit of craic... I was up there myself years ago and its not dangerous... You can get to it easily and safely through the forrest... Dunno where the lads have to carry their ladders and paint from though. Must take a long time to paint a rock that size.

deise go deo

They get the paint free, donated by a ''dedicated Waterford supporter''.
Yer man said they go up the far side nd climb down to it

presoccer

it's a very naff

dayshah

Its just some harmless fun (and actually surprisingly safe to get up there, I went there when I was in the Cubs when I was about 7).

However, those who don't like it why not form a 3rd faction and go up there with paint thinner to remove it?

ziedth

Will we go up and paint substandard liege

Chris P. Bacon

Still black n amber now,they painted it Thursday night i guess

deisemum

They showed it on the news last night

abouttobebanned

The news last week was that the waterford lads had used some sort of paint that couldn't be painted over. I lauged at that idea, especially when 2 days later it was b&a again.

ziedth

How long till someone gets a bee in their bonnet over this makes it their crusade of the week to get it stopped?

Soon is my guess, I get a great laugh over it.

jmcc

I'm surprise McCan't has't objected to it on the basis that it has no planning permission. Then again the rock is notionally in the Kilkenny suburb of Waterford.

Regards...jmcc

tis all good neighbourly craic .... but must be getting expensive at this stage!
How about a compromise .... a black & amber hand shaking a blue & white hand .......

collinsrob

Whats the deal with the painting the cliff?

I am from the uk and was visiting waterford and saw it was blue and white one day and black and amber the next.

Its just a bit of banter between two bordering counties. The official border between Kilkenny and Waterford means that the cliff is officially in Waterford.

Historically the border was the river so the cliff used to be in Kilkenny.

Kilkenny lads are painting it as they claim it belongs to Kilkenny and Waterford lads are painting it as they claim it belongs to them.

It escalates every year near the end of the hurling championship especially if Waterford are still in come the semi-final/finals. Kilkenny have won it for the last 4 years in a row and up until yesterday Waterford had a chance of stopping them winning the 5-in-a-row (which has never been done before)

To be fair it has never been changed so frequently as it is at the moment.

I'm from Kilkenny so I prefer to see it black and amber any day and we painted it first!!!

Itll be blue & gold before the end of the week :pac:

Well not for the Waterford lads anyway. The paint was donated by a strong Déise supporter who shall remain nameless.

Compromise? With them?

Never!!!!

Stokolan

They were out early this morning. Coming back home accross the bridge about 10:50am they were just finishing putting it back to blue/white

ziedth

^ on an all Ireland final day

That's like eating a bacon sanwich during honica

Chris P. Bacon

Yeah seen it myself this morning,knew it wouldn't stay black n amber for today

Sully

So much for the drive for 5 anyway! Wonder how the rock will be decorated now?! 5 with a big X?!

ziedth

Ye i was happy to see that too . i suppose the cats will be too distraught to go change it now

Chris P. Bacon

Well the k-team wont be celebrating tonight so they will be looking for something else to do,and im sure it will be black n amber again in the coming days,sure a few lads from Carrick might even come down when they sober up and paint it there colours

dayshah

I think the K-team jinxed Kilkenny and are the cause of their defeat.

Typhoon.

ha ha ha ha

5 in a row??????????????????????????

zeppe

Yeah, I was gigging Kilkenny friday night and there was loads of K-team t shirts(€18 each no less!).
There seemed to be a real feeling of utter invincibility up there, that the 5 in a row was a foregone conclusion.

Back to topic though, I actually felt really sorry for "King henry" hobbling around at the end, the whole team including Cody looked utterly shellshocked.
As for the cliff, psychedelic perhaps or maybe one of those 3d posters that were all the rage 15 years ago?

Asmodean

The samaritans will be busy up there tonight. thats where cockiness will get ya!

Chris P. Bacon

Well done to our Munster neighbours on great display of hurling a well deserved win,and well done to Kilkenny on winning 4 all Ireland's in a row its a great achievement by any standards,i actually felt sorry for Shefflin at the end and im sure he and the rest of the team will be back next year.

At the end of the day its only a game of hurling,im sure we will all move on with our lives now

They'd know how to use proper punctuation and how to go to the next line anyway.
