Referee giving Kilkenny a succession of soft frees to keep them in this. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 03/07/2016 16:34:40 1875461 Link 3 |
A succession? Really? One or two, hardly a heap of frees.

Better TEAM won. Galway are a bunch of talented individuals who lead me to believe the rumours are true . They don't get along. Kilkenny obviously have massive talent but team comes first galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1679 - 03/07/2016 19:36:04 1875565 Link 0 |

I fear for Dublin hurling. superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2839 - 03/07/2016 22:20:37 1875715 Link 0 |
With all due respect, many of the decisions were very harsh on Galway.

I think Portlaoise can hold 27,000. Council should use it for more Leinster hurling finals. Its not far from Kilkenny or Offaly. Although I'm not sure if Galway or Wexford supporters would prefer to travel to Portlaoise.

What decisions were hard on Galway they got everything going to day chop down on hands hurls around lads necks no yellow cards, the incident on R Lennon was dangerous play which could have caused serious injury the player was not even booked .

What are you talking about Portlaoise it would take you as long to get from the place as it would from Dublin after the match I was back in Kilkenny at eight pm, there is no parking in portlaoise .

New year, same result. Reid and Hogan are great players. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 04/07/2016 02:22:19 1875794 Link 0 |
I am inclined to agree with you there, I thought some of the tackles on KK were OTT some dangerous ones.

It's a good job Galway ousted the manager . TheRightStuff (Donegal) - Posts: 1688 - 04/07/2016 10:04:18 1875860 Link 0 |
There's no point agonising over a Leinster final loss to KK. Get prepared mentally for the next hurdle. Cody's players and system rolls on, not much has changed. Since the year 2000, apart from Tipp in 2010, no other team has beaten KK in an AIF under Cody. The more often you play Cody the easier it is for him to read your game plan and assess your players. Galway are better off out of Leinster! Cody crushed Wexford and Offaly. Dublin and Galway will wilt too if the system stays the same. However, the chances are KK, esp under Cody, will adapt best to any new championship layout. The solution is to expel KK from the championship for a minimum of 3 years due to their insatiable greed, boring consistency and functionality! ;) baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 04/07/2016 11:23:28 1875917 Link 0 |
It's a good job Donegal have mighty hurlers!

The championship is pretty boring so far. KK's dominance is frustrating. Cork improved but will probably lose out in the 1/4s after beating wexford. Limerick are absolutely woeful. Clare may knock out a decent team in the back-door. Tipp, waterford and maybe clare seem to be the only teams capable of keeping up with KK for the full 70 minutes which I guess is an improvement from when it was only tipp who could hope to play for the full game. I don't agree with Tomás Mulcahy's suggestion of scarpping division 1b but something has to be done to reinvigorate the championship and to give time back to club teams to play in good weather, those should be martin fogarty's priorities alongside trying to make westmeath, carlow, laois and antrim consistently competitive at underrage. What a mammoth task! hurlinspuds (Cork) - Posts: 1494 - 04/07/2016 11:30:25 1875927 Link 2 |
When was the last time Waterford kept up with KK in the championship? Their record against Cody in Croke Park is much worse than Galway's.

We don't exactly have mighty hurlers ? What do you mean by that exactly ? We are probably ranked around 22-25 in Ireland but there are a number of clubs in what would be classed as massive soccer and Unionist areas doing great work .

Congrats to Kilkenny they are simply the best at the moment.Hard luck to Galway and keep the heads up, ye are still in it with every chance if ye can sort out a few issues. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 04/07/2016 12:31:49 1875994 Link 0 |
Sorry but those shouting for the underdogs seem to have been blinded. Just because Michael Duignan said there were soft frees doesn't mean he was right on them all. I counted 2 borderline in the first half. Galway actually got away with a lot of rough stuff to be honest. A few high hurls, a sneaky knee into the head of one of the Kilkenny players as well. To be fair, I didn't see Kilkenny making a big deal out of it. They can take it as well as dish it out.

I didn't say anything about counties' record in croke park. I listed the only counties that seem capable of beating KK. Whatever about Galway's record in croke park, they are incapable of challenging KK for 70 minutes.
