"I'd hurl for England if they were playing Kilkenny"

In All Fairness · 06-09-2009 01:45PM #1

The sentiment expressed by my cousin from Tipp.
So the question is, is it sheer begrudgery or why do people not like Kilkenny people? I mean, as a Dub, I can understand why people hate us and I can sort of understand why Cork people get a bit of slagging. But why do Kilkenny get more abuse than any of the other counties?

As the old saying goes, "Carlsberg don't do hurling teams, but if they did.....Kilkenny would hammer them"

Go on the Premier.:)

People always like to hate the best.

p.s: and I HATE the GAA, but you can't deny fact.

Jim236 · 06-09-2009 01:52PM

Theres no grudge against Kilkenny, I think yer cousin was just goin on how you'd expect some from Tipperary to sh*te on. Its just a bit of rivalry between Tip and Kilkenny, its always been like that. The 2 counties hate each other like, and will take any opportunity they can get to beat the other in hurling because they both think of themselves as "the home of hurling".

galwayrush · 06-09-2009 01:57PM

Yep, Kilkenny are sheer class atm, almost everybody wants to beat the best.

Capt'n Midnight · 06-09-2009 01:58PM

Title makes me want to hurl

Sir Molle · 06-09-2009 02:02PM

GAA is shite.

The priest today said he didn't want Kilkenny to win, said he wanted to give someone else a chance! I'd say that's what most people mean when they say they hate Kilkenny.

REAL LIFE HOOD · 06-09-2009 02:14PM

I think I speak for the majority of Dublin people I know they don't care about Kilkenny.

Killkenny has nothing else to offer except hurling in fairness

DamoDLK · 06-09-2009 02:29PM

Just listening to the game on rte radio online, times like this I really miss home!

biko · 06-09-2009 02:30PM

Galway minors just beat Kilkenny

Mrmoe · 06-09-2009 02:37PM

London's footballers are better than their hurlers. They would definitely beat Kilkenny in football.

I'd say the all-Asian minors would probably beat Kilkenny in the football lol. I doubt Kilkenny would care either, all that matters is the hurling.

465 players against 15. They probably would still win.

:eek:

It's a super match. Much better than watching Man U. v Liverpool.

Up for Tipp but still think Kilkenny will do it.

Kilkenny have helped kill the sport of Hurling in Ireland and it is now only a contest between 4 or 5 counties wheras Football has between 12 and 16 teams that could win it. Kerry have dominated football but not so much to the extent that Kilkenny have destroyed Hurling. I seriously hope they are beaten as an avid GAA person because no young people are taking up the game and Hurling will vanish because of the dominance of one arrogant never get enough team.

Sounds like somebody went out of the championship early this year :rolleyes:

They apologise for being too good, I'm sure.
It's not their problem your teams aren't good enough.

Kalashnikov_Kid · 06-09-2009 03:32PM

I am from a county where carrying a hurley is about as alien as wearing a Burkha, so I personally couldn't care either way.

Though some of the Kilkenny boys seem to have been born with hurleys protruding from their @rse so I guess that's what some people are jealous of.

Of course it's begrudgery. What else is it?

Is it Kilkenny's fault that they're better than all the other teams?

Isn't it up to everyone else to catch them?

Well, that's what I thought. And it definitely is up to the other teams to catch up. But my OP wasn't actually referring to hurling, I was just surprised at how much stick Kilkenny got in the "Ireland's worst county" thread in comparison to say Waterford or Galway. Maybe there are just a lot of Tipperary Boardsies.:pac:

TestTransmission · 06-09-2009 04:11PM

Farmers running around a field with sticks,amazing stuff

AR-15 · 06-09-2009 04:17PM

It's nothing personal. People just want to see a new team winning for a change. I guarantee you if it was any other county it would be the same.

netwhizkid · 06-09-2009 04:24PM

Tipperary robbed by the worst referee in Hurling history, Brian Cody lashes out a Marty Morrissey, when it became obvious that Kilkenny did not win it fairly.

Jesus Juice · 06-09-2009 04:32PM

The Marty and Brian Cody interview was hilarious!
