Fair enough, I didn't know that....I'll reign it in!
The Saturday Game was on last night... I didn't see it, but I presume they spent a bit of time on the Leinster Championship then
Lip service to the Leinster Hurling Championship on the Sunday Game. Bullsh!t
First group game probably since 2018/19 for kilkenny and wexford that has significance for both teams.
Great performance by the minors at a sparsely attended game this evening, although to be fair the people who were there really got behind the team, posters come on here asking about the problem with Tipperary hurling
Wouldn't worry about that it was down in Super Value park
Agree but the beat Limerick
Tipp defending was atrocious, made Cork look better than they are.
Very impressed with Cork today. Their brand of hurling is a joy to watch. Do people think they are the next power house in hurling?
On sale now
Hopefully i wont be cancelled or attacked for asking this but when do tics online usually come out for the next wex match?
Then Cork are in
Then Cork qualify to Munster Final
If they draw, Cork would need Tipp to beat Clare or they are out
How could he not be a top player, the youngest of the 5 Mullen brothers!!
Its 100% guaranteed Wexford are going to bring a huge crowd next Sunday, its up Kilkenny fans to snap up the tickets,
Making a Leinster final is a big deal, so a lot of stake for both counties next Sunday. Wexford absolutely destroyed Carlow today.
Apologies, you're right, Waterford won that game!
Not so sure, Waterford and Cork would both be on 4 points then and Cork would progress on head to head is my understanding of it
are you going to persist with this political ****.why isn’t there someone shutting down this clown
If Waterford and Limerick draw next week, Cork are more than likely eliminated
Offaly 98 😂
Would they be the first team to win an All Ireland after losing twice?
The throws in both matches were just awfully obvious. I think the refs have packed in calling any really. It's all a throw mixed with the occasional legitimate handpass when a player feels there's no pressure. I'd fancy Cork for the All Ireland now.
Throwing was rife in the televised games today. Look at one of Connolly's goals for Cork. Like basketball with a small ball. Meade to Connolly - throw - Connolly to Meade - throw - another throw back to Connolly and he scores. The throws weren't even the disguised cheating flick , just blatant. It's ruining the game. There's no hurling skill in that. Every team is doing it now but some more than others. Needs to be stamped out but it won't happen when commentators and pundits are praising it rather than condemning it.
You have to credit the minors on a solid display under pressurefor a win. Their handling and movement were good and its a big positive after a few poor performances.
Looking at the tipp match cork were up for it 100% and tipp just couldn't match their intensity. It got to the stage mid way through the 2nd half it was just like a training session for them. They looked a class act. Tipp have a big rebuild ahead of them.
Looking at us against wexford we have to start playing it better through the lines. Mullen will add an extra dimension if back and I'd still give Owen Wall a start.
For kilkennys sake we need to beat them and push on. We had them bet last year in wexford Park only to let them claw their way back into it. As is said above a big kilkenny crowd is wanted to show the lads we're behind them.
I was up at the match last night and to be fair the support was a bit better than previous days. Its a pity we havent a extra point or 2 because we should of bet galway and the cw match was a absolute disaster but at the same time we could of very easily lost the last 3 matches so despite all the doom and gloom we are unbeaten and we arent hurling well.
We created a few goal chances at the start mossy should of done better.owen wall got a few lovely passes but it just wouldn't stick for him.We left dublin in the game and when they got their noses in front they didnt kick on. Scruff will be dissapointed with the 2nd goal because he done well especially under a few high balls in a bad sun. I had a good look last night at our movement up front and to be fair its fairly poor. We are fairly static and easy enough to defend against. I know paranell is tight but its fairly poor. We really struggle with opposition have runners running off the shoulder and thats what we will see next weekend.
It goes without saying a huge match next weekend and one we really need to lay down a marker. If we keep hitting ball down on on damien reck again its a kick in the hole they need.deegan was in bother with his hand during the match but he got foward for that goal and i think they may leave him midfield with kenny. Carey was very rusty but hopefully that game will bring him on. Eoin cody was a big help with limited enough ball. Mullen,wally and molloy were pucking around before the match and id be suprised if mullen isnt back the next day.
It was a very scrappy game and we coughed up alot of scores giving away possession very easily. The movement from the fowards is very poor along with some of the deliveries going in. We have a lot of improving to do. Nowlan park should be hopping next weekend so we need a win and try get this hoodo off our back. If they arent fired up for this there is something wrong.its a leinster semi final.
Just an observation on the Cork/Tipp game. Are Kilkenny very much like Tipp? Still relying on the older brigade with very little pace around the field. Let's not fool ourselves, if we meet Cork they would have too much pace for us too. Cork be our only hope to stop the 5, the Limerick backs are slow enough too
CAnt let wexford do what cork supporters did today in thurles.must have been so dishearting for tipp players to walk out to a sea of red.
Jake Mullen is going to be some player. Old head on young shoulders.
Delighted for Niall Bergin, the players and everyone involved. That’ll be difficult for one poster to swallow
Brilliant win for minors. Great display of skillful hurling . Maybe the coaching is not as bad as some here would have us believe.
