This weekends senior fixtures
Out of interest what way does the Kilkenny championship work. Do they incorporate a league into it ?
Beyond the inclement weather this weekend there’s no case to be made to delay the finals intentionally in future. They were moved forward to prevent the absurdity of three games extending the club championships from mid-December to mid-March in the first place.
When were Munster playing in a storm??
In any case, have you not read the above posts. It's not about the conditions in Croke Park. It's the travelling that will be needed to be done after the match.
If there is one fatality or bad injury for someone coming from the match, there will be uproar.
Drivers will have to stick to motorways as much as possible. I once drove across/up Galway in the dark evening, from Gort to Athleague in Ros, didn’t know the roads and had constant cars behind up my arse. The shi++iest roads in Ireland and a scary experience.
Idiots crash everyday on good roads like motorways on perfectly clear days so anyone blaming a single crash on the GAA is only looking for controversy.
No gun to anyone's head to get in the car today
Safe journeys to all
Hopefully everyone gets to the match and home again safely.
Is there much or any history of a county doing a junior/intermediate/senior triple ?
The red warning is very much geared towards coastal areas up the west coast. Peterswell is not on the coast, or very close to it. You'll see less wind in Croke Park than in Peterswell this afternoon, and as the storm tracks northwest the worst of it will pass before they go home.
It's up to everyone to decide for themselves whether they want to take the miniscule risk of traveling east on a wintery day or not. Hand wringing and catastrophising and indeed demonizing anyone traveling is just plain wrong.
Let's close the whole country down until the summer sure.....
Weather looks a lot tamer than it is down here.
Terrible from the umpires. Sliotar was over the line.
Umpires should have seen that was a goal
The wind was in their eyes.
Ref missed a headbutt there from Molloy. That should have been a red.
Could have beem a red
Some serious fxck up from umpires. They have to be better positioned than that. 100 percent the ball was over the line.
The thing that annoys me about Sean Stack is he gives the soft frees and then lets blatant frees go.
You could clearly see him place it back over the line. Hopefully the smart sliotar if used with goal line tech will be able to solve this in the future.
Headbutt missed too but with all the play acting going on in those situations I can see why the ref thought it was nothing. Boy who cried wolf situation.
Very scrappy match so far with terrible decisions by the officials but also some good scores and excellent blocks and hooks.
Seems officialdom will be the hot topic again.
Two terrible missed calls, so far
2 kilkenny lads should have got the line
Is he just going to allow players to throw the ball everytime. Its destroying the game.
Thats a clear throw to the loughlan gaels centre back for the score. Dreadful reffing.
Huw lawlor booked for no reason. Mad stuff.
Hes missed another red card there. Holy hell. Dangerous play pushing someone over the hoarding like that.
And finds 7 mins to add on. Mad stuff.
Surely it's a yellow card at least for the push over the hoardings. It's such a reckless and unnecessary thing to do.
It looks like a full house and a nice day when looking at the Hawkeye view.
Who has the wind? Looks like it's swirling all over the gaff.
Hard to tell lad. Rain coming down now heavy.
Referee having to much of a hand on the result so far.
Id say thomas's will see a red fairly shortly.
Good game so far despite some cynical play. More than enough fine performances from both forwards and backs so far.
Terrible day in there. Football should be interesting later.
