So galway faded then that what lost it. Nothing to do with tipp upping it a gear. Seems that your slightly happy with galway yesterday having the upper hand for 32 minutes.... again ye scored 1 point after the 32nd minute and tipp had 11 wides in the 2nd half, think just a smidgin bit more than a little bit of effort was needed no?? Think your doing the Wuming now!!

And also "To think that with a little effort" could be used to describe galway over the last 20 years!!

inoyerright you might want to shave them eyebrows and get yourself a pair of glasses and read my post again. Where did I say those players never played for Kilkenny. Ondabutton mentioned how Galway had a stronger panel than Kilkenny and then I listed Kilkenny's subs bench for the All Ireland final last year and asked him what subs have Galway got that are better.

Ondabutton list the points you want me to answer and i'll happily answer them for you.
Have you noticed that not even your own county men agree with you. That says enough for me. I might aswel be talking to a child.

Oh and ondabutton Michael Kavanagh has more All Ireland medals than the whole Galway panel, Noel Hickey is one of if not the best full back in the country and although Ryall isn't strong enough to make the Kilkenny team he'd walk onto most other teams in the country including Galway. Don't be a fool, surely ye've taking enough hammerings over the years to realise ye don't have good backs with the exception of maybe 3 players. I'm actually not answering your posts anymore your a clown, i'd love to ware a couple of hurleys off ya and knock a bit of sense into that round thing you call a head.

faithfull i know your loosing the arguement but there's no need to be like that. the reality is KK are past it and tipperary are the only team that can challenge Galway for the Liam McCarty this year. the KK team was good when they were in there prime but they're too old now and would have no answer to galway's pace especially in their attack.

ondabutton:

Your a gasman that's WUMing of the highest order.... be careful if someone who comes on this site for the for time and knows nothing about hurling they might believe them and come across as being very stupid using your points in hurling conversations. Thankfully everyone here has the cop on not to agree with you.

Just put a little disclaimer at the end of your posts.

HagandCheese - comedy fonts - thats what the admins should apply to WUMs. That way you can even just gloss straight over it without having to soil your eyes by the reading it.

pearsesabu your from antrim what are you doing on a hurling thread? hagandcheese its clear we have indifferent opinions on hurling but i can gaurantee my views will be proved correct come september and ye'll all be eating humble pie.

ondabutton, I have no doubt you have been on this forum before under a different guise, no newcomer with such few posts under their belt would be carrying on in such a manner. I do believe you are on a wind up and as you yourself have already said you have indifferent views on hurling. Having said all that I do believe there is outstanding hurling talent in Galway and one of these years they will get it right and will go on to win an All-Ireland.

You got in one there. He seems to get off on people talking up Kilkenny and the reverse with galway, where do think he's from?

Hag - you seem a tad irrate!
"So galway faded then that what lost it. Nothing to do with tipp upping it a gear."
Where do I deny Tipp upped their game? Where did I lay the blame for the defeat solely at the feet of their fade-out, or deny tipp played better in teh second half?
"Seems that your slightly happy with galway yesterday having the upper hand for 32 minutes.... "
Am I happy Galway played well for a good portion of the game? Err... yes!!! And why wouldn't I be? I don't see your point hag. Doesn't Tipp playing well make you happy?
"again ye scored 1 point after the 32nd minute"
Yes. I know. It's called fading out of the game, and was a large contributing factor to Galway losing. But thanks for making my original point again.
"think just a smidgin bit more than a little bit of effort was needed no??"
Semantics. Like I said, you seem not your usual happy self.
"Think your doing the Wuming now!!"
If you say so. Personally I think I just have a slightly different take than you.

Tipp ahead of Kilkenny???? Until someone beats Kilkenny in the championship, we're still tops.

Leitrim should feel slighted by this Thread

we on the otherhand feel overjoyed by the recognition

thankyou for placing our hurlers on a par with our footballers

Bolstered with this acknowledgement the bus with the Liam McCarthy cup will stop at Whitegate as it enters Cavan for the first time

To Puddersthecat

The sooner someone beats kilkenny in the championship the better for hurling. Yere killing the game with yere bully boy tactics and playing on the edge all of the time. hopefully kilkenny will be beat this year

Since we're going to need so much of it, I'm going to submit a humble pie factory, shop and distribution business on yourcountry/yourcall.

Fonejacker, how are Kilkenny employing 'bully boy tactics' and playing 'on the edge.' I've seen them lots of times over the past 5/6 years, including a good few times against ourselves in some close enough hard fought games. I honestly don't consider them to be a dirty team - which is what you are basically saying. They are strong, agressive and 'in your face' (although not in the sly mouthing way employed by many footballers) but not dirty. One of the reasons they were taken much closer last year is that others have adopted the same intensity but I don't think you could argue either that (a) the game has become dirty(er) or (b) that the Cats have responded to the challenge by underhand methods. Final last year was proof of that and was one of best for a long time. To beat them any team is going to have to be as fit, as aggressive, as single minded but also more importantly, have the skills and the players to make that count on the scoreboard. That is the target and yes, some team will do it and quite possibly this year.

Fonejacker
Kilkenny are not dirty. If nothing else they've brought on hurling in this country proven by the fact that everyone else had to step up to their level. If kk went back tipp would just fill there place. Be no different.

Fonejacker: "Yere killing the game with yere bully boy tactics and playing on the edge all of the time. hopefully kilkenny will be beat this year"

I can't see how we are a dirty team. We have had one player sent off in years. Yes we are physical but this whole palying on the egde nonsense is just ridiculous and smacks of sour grapes.

This Kilkenny team are the greatest hurling team I have ever seen in 40 years. The exhibitions they have given in some matches can only be described as such. Look at the Waterford final - near perfection. Kilkenny can mix it but they're not dirty.

I could start listing the players for you to point out who's dirty and you'll struggle. Yes its not great for hurling to have one team dominant, however, if it raise the overall standard of hurling great. Look at Tipp - that team would have won a bag of all irelands by now if Kilkenny weren't so impervious. Same with galway. Its up to other teams to get to Kilkenny's level. And whilst I woulldn't actually like to see Kilkenny lose, when we do, this team and players will owe nobody in Kilkenny a cent. Its been a privilege to watch them.

And disappointed that a Kildare man is coming out against his fellow Leinster team and even more so with Andy Comerford doing a great job as Kildare manager.

well said fonejacker-due to their inferior skill levels KK are forced to trying to stop the oppisition hurling and make the match into a battle as seen in tullamore against galway last year. Referees need to become more aware of this tactic for the year ahead.
