    The cats win by a point. Happy for Dublin that they got back into it and didn't get a hiding! Something to take into the qualifiers.

    Thought Kilkenny had already collected Liam
    Dublin with a fine comeback, although just not enough.
    Tomorrows game should be a cracker.

    Hoggie really has a beautiful strike of the ball.

    The figurehead of the worst Cork team of my lifetime. Good hurler alright but has never dragged his team to a level higher than their current ability.

    Have no idea what happened in Dublin game. But sounds like a terrific Dubs comeback that fell agonisingly short. No shame in losing after leaving everything on the pitch. Pity.

    Hoggie has dragged Cork along for years. His scoring record speaks for itself.
    It's hardly his fault.
    We've been lucky he's been an ever present player. I shudder to think of this Cork team without him.

    Dublin have some fantastic hurlers.

    It’s belief I think they are missing.

    Not particularly from watching it. Swirling maybe. Didn't account for what was very strange match. 16 points down at one stage?

    Delighted for Cahill and waterford. Very good display and well deserved winners.

    Yes, Cork supporters will recognise that always but, with respect, Waterford did well today because they were allowed to. Cork supporters have had enough - this team tests every fibre of their patience; gutless; no ball winners in the air; obvious tactics not acted upon (Waterford's half back dominance); etc. Diarmuid O'Sullivan in 2018 called Cork supporters 'fickle' - I reckon he needs to revise that assessment. Horrible to watch our great County slide year on year!!!

    Kilkenny are definitely overrated, yes there a top 5 or 6 team at the same level as the likes of wexford or galway but talk in some sections of the media of them definitely being a top 3 team, having possibly the best panel in the country are off the mark in my view, seen people suggesting a competitive showing would be a decent effort for Dublin next Saturday which is crazy stuff to me.
    I maintain what I said above...

    The one this evening should be good stuff too. Two teams that would have one eye on it this year.

    Yep and again 0-5 points from play today, couldn't fault him. Super hurler, and just like after that mercurial performance in Croker last year I feel sorry for the man as to when he came along. Wouldn't be out of place in any great Cork team.

    Hard luck today, we were due one.

    Jaysus that was heart stopping stuff, you can be guaranteed Cody won't let that happen again. There was nothing in it at the end Kilkenny just got the bounces and a moment of inspiration from Huw Lawlor was the difference in the end.

    Funnily enough, I thought Kilkenny were actually a bit off the boil in the first half too, those three goals weren't an indictment of the Dublin defense moreso just three absolute moments of magic, I didn't feel there had actually been much in it and the halftime scoreline had flattered Kilkenny.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Dublin went on a run in the qualifiers, they showed enough tonight to be a challenge to any other side. Tipp and Limerick won't be fearful of Kilkenny at all looking on tonight.

    It was something I've never seen with a Cody team, they fell asleep for the second half

    Exactly, he can't do much more than scoring 15pts a game. Its those round him that need to man up

    I expect this to be a great game. Wexford play Real hard running blood and guts stuff and you have to match them to stay with them. If wexford don't bring it they'll get a kicking and they know it so I expect a high tempo to this game tonight.

    God Im so sick of this line. Cody doesnt get to choose whether this happens again or not and if the players arent good enough this will happen again.


    He doesnt have the team he used to and fair play KK made the final last year but have won FA for a few years now and got serious beatin in the final

    It should be remembered alot of teams first game in months

    So far games very open and high scoring and the usual championship intensity

    Teams struggling with 70 minute games as well

    That wasn't down to skill, fitness, tactics or not being good enough, that was purely mindset. Its definitely something Cody can and will impose on the team simply by being ruthless and subbing anyone who starts dropping the pace. The others will get the message.

    Ya he will tell them to make sure they win better next time. I bet his opposition manager would never think of saying that.


    He cant sub and drop like he used to because the players are not there to rotate. Hes a great manager and probably getting more from this average KK team than anyone else but if screaming at these lads is all it takes then why didnt it work last year or the year before that or 2017
