Jamie Barron trying to drag Waterford kicking and screaming into the next round.

Fair play to Waterford in the end to get themselves through.

God Kilkenny were awful. Touch was very poor, decision making was awful and tactically out done.

P Walsh is not a Full Back

Should be Waterfords now, they are parking the bus now

threeball · 08-07-2017 09:10PM

Cody must have a gallon of spit on his hands and shirt at the end of every game.

niallo27 · 08-07-2017 09:13PM

Dan Shanahan should be banned from the field. He has gone on to the pitch 7 or 8 times.

Right2Write · 08-07-2017 09:13PM

Fantastic, fair dues to Waterford. Delighted to see KK gone. Cody should have quit when he was ahead

lawred2 · 08-07-2017 09:15PM

I'm glad that they closed that out.. some championship we're having this year.

Is he not their 'runner'? I.E the guy thats allowed on the pitch?

DEFTLEFTHAND · 08-07-2017 09:26PM

Well done Waterford. I enjoyed watching that.

I think it's an open draw now for the QFs, although maybe that could change if Cork don't win the Munster tomorrow.

Anyone know for certain?

Think provincial finalists have to be kept apart, there will be a draw regardless to see who plays Clare/ Wexford. If Clare win, then Cork have played both Tipp/ Wat so draw needed. Cork win and Clare have played neither

He'll never match your achievements I'm sure.

Congratulations Waterford, by far the better team and should have had it in normal time only the psychology of it got the better of them. Showed huge mental strength to come back and get the job done. Hard to overstate how important that win is for for them going forward now.

At least ban him from wearing his hat backwards as it annoys me!!:pac:

nice_guy80 · 08-07-2017 10:10PM

maurice shanahan, I take it back
fantastic win for Waterford

amazing to see how far back kilkenny have gone so quickly. I don't know how they levelled that game

Bonniedog · 08-07-2017 10:20PM

Don't begrudge Waterford a famous victory, but found myself rooting for the stripey men! Must be Stockholm Syndrome.

lufties · 08-07-2017 10:23PM

Anyone know where I could see a concise outlay of the remaining fixtures? The GAA website is a nightmare

TheQuietFella · 08-07-2017 10:24PM

A great win to be sure but let's not forget that this was just a qualifier!

Yes, great to finally beat Kilkenny but let's not lose the run of ourselves!

A bigger and greater challenge greets us in the next round!

I find the wiki for the championship every year is great for that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_All-Ireland_Senior_Hurling_Championship

Also... Up the deise! It's only a qualifier but it's still so fecking sweet to beat them lads.

jr86 · 08-07-2017 11:37PM

I can't get over how bad kk were this year. How they made an AI final less than a year ago? Amazing

jr86 · 08-07-2017 11:40PM

This talk of now or never for galway looking like nonsense too

They're guaranteed an AI semi for next few years at this rate. Can see no one touching them in Leinster for a while

to be fair wexford and dublin at 21s level have been the top dogs for the last few years , kilkenny have a few minor teams coming through and what looks like a deacent 21s team this year

brought very little through in the last few years and lost some exceptional players in the process it was bound to happen at some stage ,no fear they will be back

Kilkenny have suffered a huge amount of retirements the last three years in particular.

The core of that amazing team they had are gone. Larkin and Tyrell this year. Richie Power last year. Ahead of 2015 seen the retirement of Henry, Brian Hogan, JJ Delaney, Tommy Walsh.
Absolutely seismic retirements to contend with.

And to be fair to them, they very nearly pulled it off tonight. Their never say die spirit is still there. They will come again, they may even take this years u21s. They have an incredible infrastructure in place with the schools and they are a hurling mad county. Perhaps its a job for a new man though. Cody owes Kilkenny no more. He's been an amazing manager. Perhaps its time for a new man to come in? That said though, what pressure he would have. His every move would be compared to the great man.

Codys tenure has been similar to Alex Ferguson.

A longevity of unparalleled success.

The difference now is that Alex retired at the exact time it was going to unravel.

You could see this coming a few years ago so it's not as if he couldn't have known.

to be fair to cody , he can only work off what he is given , and underage has slipped back in kilkenny over the years , they are coming at the moment with a good 21s team and descent minors this year so there not going to be finished ,

might have 2 or 3 lean years before there next all ireland , but long term they are not going to go away

I agree. The anti-Davy stuff is so boring at this stage.

Ill be honest i kind of like him. The game needs a few characters and Davy is good for an aul giggle at least. The man loves the game too. Not too gone on his style of play but i think a game without Davy Fitz would be boring.

While I agree with what you have said, he does give officials a torrid amount of abuse, far more than any other inter-county manager in my opinion.

Only problem for Kilkenny, is they haven't won a u21 leinster title in 5 years. Wexford have won 4 in last 5 years, so it's starting to show.

But Kilkenny will be back soon. With Wexford improving the old rivalry is coming back.

Who will wexford get next in the quarter finals?
