    Just Dosent feel right the hurling final in mid August

    I don’t know why... that first Sunday in September was a unique Irish thing

    Anyway Galway’s expierence to see them over the line. There 5th final since 2012-

    Up for that match now- a lot of pony to be talked no doubt -

    This is definitely the most excited I've been as a neutral since 2013.

    Can't fn wait until tomorrow.

    Be brilliant if Limerick could pull this off. Only one that would top it for me would have been Waterford getting one.

    Totally agree re final date! I'm convinced this is the reason why I'm not as excited as last year, despite being from Galway and with the added prospect of them potentially doing the double. Will the final always be in August from now on?

    For the next two years at least.

    Sandwiched in between both so would have a soft spot for both counties. Wouldn't begrudge a great player like Joe a second medal but afraid I have to root for Limerick to end the long famine today.

    Final in August was a great decision. Hurling will die out if we make the ic season any longer. Club hurlers deserve better than waiting til November in some cases to finish championships

    There are two counties in the final today. What excuse under heaven do rest of them have not to be playing senior championship? And I include Dublin in that. Fact that Callaghan from Cuala is on county footballers should be no excuse for holding the whole thing up.

    My favourite example is Waterford SFC which a few years ago finished around Christmas! Waterford. Football. They were gone by May.

    Best of luck to both teams in the final today. AI Finals are great occasions that will be never forgotten

    Off topic but...

    Lot of hurlers playing football, there was the league late championship exit and u21 hurling to blame for that in conjunction with the football being put on hold to get a hurling representative out in time. Structure was not great either but far more to it than that.

    Hopefully we'll have a great final today to end a great year.

    Nope. Not for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,366 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Both teams start as selected.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Limerick look very relaxed in the warm up room.

    They do and hopefully we get a good game of hurling.

    No, I don't think so. Teams got there late due to the traffic, so hopefully they both have the time to get all the stretching and pucking about done.

    Did they not know there was a big match on?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,569 ✭✭✭✭ProudDUB


    Finally....RTE shut up for once and let the sound be heard when the teams come out.

    But then they make a bollocks of it when Galway come out. Bloody typical.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,366 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I hope the structural condition of croke park is good as I'd say there'll be a mighty reaction.

    Good to see it's Marty in the commentary box. He'll give his obligitary rambling inspirational speach before the throw in

    Yeah what's the point in having a world class commentator like ger canning if they're not going to use him? Rte have left the Ferrari in the garage again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,026 ✭✭✭C__MC


    RTE need to shut on the past - let these teams write their own script

    Sick of hearing about the 70s and 80s teams

    HATE the way the talking heads in the studio are yabbering over the parade. Shut the bleep up and let us hear the noise and experience the atmosphere of the occassion. Drives me nuts that RTE don't have the cop on to get everyone to shut up for the 2 minutes.
