How Do We Take Hurling On From Here - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Tadhg2020: "If that ever happens then leinster should be stripped of one of their all ireland series places. Only the leinster finalists qualifying for the quarter finals or something like that.
The reason for the introduction of the christy ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher cup championships and later the Joe McDonagh is to ensure merit based competition. I get that you dont like it that Kerry are now in the Christy Ring cup but if your proposition ever sees the light of day then the Bob O Keefe cup will become the Joe McDonagh and will have to be treated accordingly." What has Munster ever done to benefit hurling? Nothing. You banished one of your own counties.
Leinster always doing all the heavy lifting to our own detriment.

Some win for St Mary's 2nd year's over CBS Kilkenny in the Leinster A quarter final. 2-24-0-13, that's a big win. They face Good Counsel in the semi final next.

Replying To S1234: "How are Armagh better then Mayo? We are well off kerry & donegal but most counties are tbh" Armagh won the All-Ireland recently and Mayo not since 1951, hope that helps Ms Kennedy.

Replying To SouthGalway: "I fully agree and that was pointed out and said but what I pointed out was ignored for whatever reason. I guess it didn't suit some here. I hate war as I repeated over and over but don't treat it like it's Angel vs Devil because there's enough evil to go around. I hope the Iranian PEOPLE get what they want but I have no love at all for their Government (or Israel's). But having said that I really hope this gets over with quickly." Perhaps you could explain what was ignored, I prioritised your point at the start of my reply. You chose one isolated incident, an incident that is also being reported as a punishment for crimes that merit the same death penalty in America, by the way.
Nobody said it was angel vs devil, but America and Israel attacked Iran during negotiations, multiple times. So stop pretending you dont see the oil/empire greedy elephant in the room please.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "What should Munster do? Weaken its product? Drop its standards? Its the top competition in hurling because it hasn't dropped those standards and weakened its product. It averages 29.9k with one stadiums capacity under 15k and another at 20k. Thats phenomenal. You cant even find numbers for the Bob O Keeffe to compare with.
Kerry will be welcome in the Munster championship when they are as good as or better than the weakest team in it. Thats where they have to get to and that is up to them. Its wont be good for the championship, kerry or the other teams until then. Noone wants to have to hammer kerry to match the score difference of the others. Thats not good for anyone. Their reality is that they are far closer to the weakest team in the Bob o Keeffe than they are to Munster at this time. Geography doesnt come into it.
For the record, I believe that leinster made a mistake when they extended the Bob to 6 teams. It eliminated any jeopardy that existed and destroyed the round robin as a product. Its reflected in the attendance." Traditionally counties don't get much support when they arent going well. Ive very good friends since the 90s who are or were involved in Limerick hurling and they told me that support for intercounty hurling in the county died away to nearly nothing as the 80s went on into the early 90s after 2 Munsters at the start of the decade and not even a final for years after that, and it did again in the teens.
Well thats where Offaly, Dublin and Wexford are, while Kilkenny lads are too careful with their money to waste it on anything as frivolous as paying to go see a game ;-)

Trump on another rambling rant last night. This time re threatening to take Greenland unless EU states step up and help them with Iran and the strait. What a president! Any commentary from the Galway trump fan club here?

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Nice day for a trip to Carlow, A 'workmanlike' performance with the chance to give a few of he less experienced lads a run before the league final should do the trick.
Big news, however, is the unexpected addition to the panel of someone who's name certainly surprised me." If Carlow beat Dublin ye are unlikely be in the league final!
