This is not even funny how many of these finals I have seen. Sure it will a good match but neutrals wanted a Galway vs Waterford final. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 14/08/2016 17:04:00 1900833 Link 1 |
can you not just appreciate that we've had 3 fantastic hurling semi finals in the space of a week and look forward to another titanic clash from two teams that bring out thr best of each other in the final.

Hmmmm. Both won their provinces. They have now advanced to the final. It's up to the rest to up their game. Waterford and Galway weren't too far away but they've still both come up short. Galway were fierce unlucky to lose Canning injured. The last two league finals were Waterford v Cork '15 and Clare v Waterford '16. Waterford seem best placed of chasing pack. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 14/08/2016 17:14:09 1900844 Link 1 |
No I am looking forward to a great match but a different final would be more interesting and more exciting , yes the two teams are the heavyweights of hurling but a difference would do no harm for one year

I thought Galway were very unlucky today. They lost two players who were going well before half-time and if not for a couple of bad decisions, probably could have won the match. Tipp looked quite mediocre for large periods of that match and I didn't think their supposedly much-improved defence looked all that improved. I don't think Kilkenny are getting beat this year.

Yes Galway only lost by point today...............Kilkenny, Tipperary and Waterford are the top 3 teams this year by a fair bit.

What have the league finals got to do with any indication of current form?

Tipp will beat Kk in another titanic battle in the final. That will then set up a golden age for hurling where the mighty cats are sliding and a group of 3 or 4 teams can beat them. I just hope Clare can be part of that group. Its never been better. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 14/08/2016 17:46:02 1900866 Link 0 |

I think I'm going to come off Hoganstand. I'm sick of reading guff like this where posters are saying something different for the sake of being different. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 14/08/2016 18:06:35 1900875 Link 0 |
Sorry about my fellow derry man people. I'm guessing by the majority of his posts that he is 13 or 14 and knows no better. Wishful youthful thinking on his part ilovespuds (Meath) - Posts: 35 - 14/08/2016 18:21:53 1900882 Link 1 |

As a Galway supporter I can understand where the thread comes from. The GAA seems to be heavily biased in favour of Kilkenny and to a lesser degree Tipp. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 14/08/2016 18:46:24 1900901 Link 0 |
You had your "one year" in 2013. Stop your moaning.

At least there will be suspense as to who will win the Hurling unlike the Football. KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 14/08/2016 19:30:04 1900931 Link 0 |
I said before today whoever wins today will be win the final, now not so sure Galway still have the issue of playing aimless ball, while Tipp lob high after high and support play from their forwards was poor today. Both of these teams issues play into the Kilkenny strengths presently. grellans89 (Galway) - Posts: 257 - 14/08/2016 20:19:24 1900958 Link 0 |
There have been a few hurling people questioning Tipperary's bottle. My money was on Tipperary winning today but the odds were only 1/2. The spread betting was Tipperary -3, at least I sidestepped that. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 14/08/2016 20:25:19 1900963 Link 0 |
Kilkenny rarely play championship matches in Nowlan Park. I can only recall four since the turn of the century. You're talking through your hat. And I never knew Croke Park was in Kilkenny, either.
