    Dublin folding near the end of a match? I'm shocked.

    Best we can hope for now is to hammer Carlow - not a given by any means - and that Wexford get beaten well by Kilkenny and Galway.

    After that a hiding in the quarter finals. Very disappointing. Only a few lads like Moran and Barrett really stood up when it mattered.

    Limerick not as unbeatable as we all thought they certainly showed weaknesses today. Amazing week in hurling last week cork were finished this week they're one of the favorites for the all Ireland.

    The calendar needs to be looked at and maybe put back a few weeks

    Some counties will have no intercoutny action after the 2nd weekend in bloody June.

    Imo this new calendar is killing the GAA. The Championships are competing with the ends of the Soccer, rugby seasons and other things like festivals, comunnions/confirmations etc.
    Far from killing the GAA but how do you change it unless you completely overhaul the whole structure of inter county season and way league is ran. Putting things back few weeks has big impact later in the year and impacts clubs even more so.
    There is festivals all summer so that is no excuse for competition.

    I was glad the Communion got me out of going after what happened!

    Compressing the season is massive marketing fail. Good crowd in Cork and even that was down on sell outs that were the norm for Tipp/cork games, but other venues obviously hit by all the other stuff going on.

    The usual borefest of the EPL ended in a bit of excitement, which could not be foreseen, but a bit disturbing that so many people prefer watching that cr@p on the TV instead of their own neighbours playing hurling or football, or soccer for that matter.
    I wouldnt call it a marketing fail though if you feel it is then what do you change it to as going back to the traditional/"old" format cant be the way forward.

    This BS early championship calendar is working out for the GAA as they are attracting younger top standard players over too the US/Canada/Australia etc too play with clubs for the summer when there IC teams are out of the all Ireland and there clubs agree too hold off fixtures
    Croke Park needs to be harsher on counties who do that as clubs shouldnt be able to push back fixtures and allowing people go over to States during summer isnt what should be good for GAA.

    Two Munster games on TV today. Would it really cost RTE that much to stream one of the other games on the player? Useless shower
    Because they cant?

    We all thought?

    At the end of the day they were only ever marginal favourites for this year's All Ireland at any stage, if at all, and at long enough odds. This isn't prime Kilkenny we're talking about - I'm really struggling to see how so many are shocked about today

    Last year, they limped over the line against a woeful Galway performance, Cork had them at their mercy in the semi and they scraped by a rebuilding KK team, being essentially carried by a half fit Richie Hogan on the day. That was after not even making the Munster final.

    A commendable All Ireland win but nothing to suggest at all they would then become an "unbeatable" dominant force.

    The league was impressive yes, but its been very difficult to gauge league form in recent years.

    And who said Cork were finished last week? Even with a loss today they would be far from gone, given they've - on paper - the two easier games as their last 2.

    Still so much hurling to be played, but no-one is finished yet and no-one is close to unbeatable, even if Tipp are making some nice early running

    It's in a stadium at a match, can hardly wash the hands of it altogether.

    Young Tipperary fans with terrible haircuts and skintight jeans fighting amongst themselves. They’ve been at it for years, nothing to see there to be honest. I remember being at the 2008 Munster Final and they were at the same carry but on a much larger scale. A couple of older Clare fans that somehow got mixed up with them got a few belts that day. Sadly this kind of behaviour has become synonymous with Tipperary over the years, I wouldn’t expect any different from them.

    Ah now I wouldn't be labeling tipp fans because of a few drunken thugs, the majority of their support are decent people, every county has there fair share of scumbags.

    A few of them made shît of a pub on the road out of cork a few years ago after they played in Pairc Ui Caoimh. Same carry on as that today fighting amongst themselves and I’ve seen it in the Blackrock End over the years. Not a ridiculous thing to say as I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
