Kilkenny GAA Thread

This post actually answers my question. My new neighbour thinks that we're in the Dicksboro but I think we're in the Village. Just settling a bar stook argument.

Fair play for putting it together.

Are any other season ticket holders having problems redeeming their ticket for the Clare match? As in the ticket not being there! I am being driven demented trying to access it and getting helpful info from the powers that be, replying to emails three hours later. Any advice would be helpful.

i've had problems with the site for ages using chrome, page goes blank. Didn't see anyone else complaining so thought it was just my pc.

Firefox was working for me or I was using macbook and safari to buy them

I would of thought butler might go after Kelly but Tony is such an unbelievable hurler it's all about curtailing him. He is so intelligent. Always seems to be where the breaking ball is. Browne could also be an option but I think Taylor and o donnell are also hugely important to them. Duggan and lawlor should be a good tussle. Reidy and galvin are very lively so our backs will be under pressure for sure. We need much more from our forwards Saturday week. I know it was only a league match last year in Ennis but they had us all over the place with their movement.Kilkenny were away at the weekend.We'll need a huge improvement from everyone but the players and management will know that themselves.

Have you redeemed your ticket for clare game? Could you talk me through the steps if you have, thanks.

looking at the league results wouldn't give you any confidence, won 2013, won a relegation play-off 2015, that was the last win against them. Struggled nearly every game with the running. Lost 2014,2016,2017,2018,2019,2021. Drew in 2020

Thanks for your help, there's no ticket there or option to buy a ticket even in Firefox. The level of customer service is beyond f***** useless! Once again thanks for your time if only those useless idiots in Croker were as helpful!

The lack of respect shown towards Wexford on the Saturday and Sunday game really maddened me.

They hurled Clare off the pitch in the second half and when the two Reck brothers (who didn't really give Kelly or O''Donnell a sniff) went off injured Clare took over.

I have a lot of time for that Wexford team.

All these Munster analysts want the Clare-Limerick final with their anti-leinster bullshit and they won't be giving Kilkenny any credit either.

Hope Kilkenny sow it into them in every way.

Think the fireworks around the munster final definitely papered over a few cracks in clare defence. Flanagan got 8pts from play and again yesterday they looked very vulnerable

Would like to see tj and cody isolated in there and let mossy Rome out the field and get pressure on clare halfback line.

Galway have not improved one jot under henry's management which is disappointing was expecting to see some improvement in there forwards but they seem to be just dependent on whelan. they were cut open several times yesterday and should have been beaten. If they turn up like that limerick will destroy them .

Whelan ended up further out the field when they were crying out for a focal point. I found that surprising that it was not corrected

Lohan will know he has work to do and that's the best way going into the match.Clare dug really deep and grounded out a great win although wexford probably helped them a bit.Wexford had their match ups spot on and we can learn something from their approach.Rory hayes form has dipped alot and and lohan subbed him after a few minutes shows how quick he was to react. Cian nolan who came on done well.Duggan form hàs slipped a bit but himself and lawlor should be a good tussle if it happens.Cleary at full back does alot of pulling and dragging and nearly always gets a yellow so he'd be on thin ice If he got booked early.Mossy has worked hard to date but we need finishers inside.tj and cody inside and a roaming corner forward. Hopefully eoin cody can catch fire and we get a much better performance from the fowards.Clare will be expecting us to presist launching high ball in but we need to improve what we done the last day and keep them guessing.

I'm also very dissapointed with galway. They were steeped against cork and if whelan is held its hard to see how they'll trouble Limerick. Alot of the same faces on the gakway team I thought we'd see more of the winning minor teams.

Haven't watched the game back but everyone here is going mad over it, i have the absolute height of admiration for Shane O'Donnell especially after coming back from his concussion issues but he was completely anonymous for 60 mins on Saturday ends up getting MOTM and official GAA player of the week, Paul Flanagan was without doubt Clare's best player on Saturday. Aswel as ROC and the 2 Recks going off injured Chin played the entire 2nd half with a pulled hamstring that's why he didn't end up out in the middle 3rd at any stage, Shane Reck's injury was actually caused by a sly dig with the hurl to the stones by TK, very uncharacteristic of him would have given him the benefit of the doubt only I seen it with my own eyes, it was a straight red all day. Looking forward to going to the semi final as a netural, think it will be a 1 score game either way. For match ups id say Fogarty on Taylor, Butler on TK, maybe Carey on SOD unless Clare move him to the FF line. Paudie Foley did a serious job on Davy Fitz, don't know your most similar player to that possibly Deegan, those suggesting him for TK need their head examined, TK destroyed O'Hanlon in 2020 championship I'd expect a similar outcome with Deegan, Duggan has had 2 quite games in a row his place could be under pressure from Shanager could throw in Rodgers or Meehan either, probably need someone in midfield who could physically compete with Malone, Cian Kenny who started v Galway could get blown away in that regard. We would have seriously been patched together for the semi if we got over the line on Saturday, ROC had a scan today the fear is its the ACL.
