Kilkenny GAA Thread

Pretty sure the Offaly 6 gave Luke a nudge which actually caused the collision.

That's totally true yeah.

I am sure we are all happy for ya. Some neck to come on here and dish it out to our lads at minor,20 and senior when you actually do travel a mile to "support" them.

I would think Offaly put a huge effort into achieving promotion in the national league and it is now telling against them. Sorry to see young Screeney in a boot and I hope they stay in the McCarthy. Our lads did what they had to do without looking overly convincing. Tommy Walsh was the standout in defence and its been a while since we could say that, testament to him for not dropping the head when struggling for form. I thought the two boys midfield outstanding after the first fifteen minutes and Stephen Donnelly and Billy Ryan best of the forwards. Gutted for Harry Shine who was doing well before the injury, hopefully not the end of the campaign for him. Dubs will test us big time next week. 20s, minors out as well next so a lot to look forward to.

Glorious day in the park yesterday but the match itself was a complete bore. Over as a contest after 10 minutes. Nice to see mullen in, hopefully he can push on now next week v dublin, who will be a far harder nut to crack and could be a potential banana skin for us. This gane did nothing for us unfortunately. Some nice scores but the game was like a training session. One concern I have is the ease at which they walked past us for both goals, albeit 2 excellent finishes. I thought blanch was weak enough but he will come on after the minutes he got. Can't say a whole lot more just that we need to be fully prepared for our toughest game so far next week. Win, and its a leinster final. Just a special mention to TJ. His eye for goal is as good as ever.

what about the terrace not opened?

I am as much a hurling fan as I am a Kilkenny supporter. The Munster championship is as good a sporting spectacle as you can get anywhere in the world . The Kilkenny match was a foregone conclusion. I put out my opinion as I feel some players are not up to it but I have been full of praise for a lot of players. Billy Ryan this year and John Donnelly before he hit form last year i credited him as being a vital cog for Kilkenny when he was getting knocked here. Obviously full of praise for other like Lawlor. Sorry if I knock a few players and there family are on here hyping them up

He was being tackled and hit the ground hard. Ref blew him for over carrying. He was in immediate bother with the should when he hit the ground

The way the gaa schedule matches is a joke. Everything on yesterday, kilkenny match, clare tipp and ulster final all on together. Louth meath at 4 today and very little in the 2pm slot.

village must have robbed your lunch money in school.

The women are going to cause havoc for the gaa with these demands. They want equal rights even though their games attract miniscule attendances.

Integration won't be as easy as some think

We thought there was a bit of a smozzle,thanks for putting us straight.

U20’s Wednesday night,minors Saturday and seniors on Sunday. A busy week ahead.

Big week for kk teams. Hopefully the break is managed well for the u20. It's a great opportunity to get to a leinster final u20 and one that's needed at this level.

The seniors have yet to be tested. The match was over after 10 minutes last Saturday. Offally and antrim got through the kk defence easy but it's hard to really gauge them games. I expected much more from offally. Tommy Walsh hurled well. I don't think carey is the awnser at 6 and we should do more to devolop someone else at 6. Shane Murphy should be back in a few weeks but eoin cody is gone for a few weeks with a hamstring. Dublin should be a much stiffer test but they usually struggle playing kk.

I was in town Saturday night before the kk match and plenty of kk supporters stayed in the pubs watching the clare v tipp match. Weather it be right or wrong hurling supporters wanted to watch that match. It's scandalous two crunch matches this wknd and kk v Dublin at 3 o clock in between them. Why couldn't they put the kk match sat evening at 6 o clock.

We need a pt to qualify a d 2 for leinster fina
