2016 All Ireland Hurling Semi Final - Waterford v Kilkenny - in the melting pot

I was a scourge of referees in my playing days, Iā€™m a lot calmer about them now having tried it myself a few times in a more informal capacity. Half the time you wouldnā€™t even know what way to point for a team winning a throw in, I canā€™t imagine in my wildest dreams how difficult it is to ref senior inter county hurling. Iā€™ll criticise in the heat of battle alright.

Of courseā€¦ but that still has zero to do with agreed payments. If it was performance related im agreement then fair enough. If you donā€™t think the job was good enough then pay the bill and get someone else. As it happens the team in question won 2 out of 3 competitions entered getting to the final of the 3rd and won the championship. It was pure bitterness and greed.

They were within 3 points of Waterford at that stage who were playing out of their skins.

You have to be a cunt generally. And totally lacking any semblence of control in other aspects of your life so this is your power outlet. Thats not true of all of course, but an awful lot. Its just not attractive enough to most.

Doing the referee course only emphasized my beliefs about the refs and their cuntishness (from the top at least) and their lack of game knowledge and in fact the rules.

I donā€™t anyone expects them to get everythi g right. Just use everything available to do the best job. They struggle with this.

Its an indication of class and superb efficiency. That stat alone shows why they deserved a replay.

I actually donā€™t know what he is talking about, I just know it was personal and he was talking shite and I wasnā€™t paying it any lip service

I gave an example, i think supporting someone elses point, of some langer standing up in a board meeting and telling the chairman now to pay me and blowing on about ā€œwhat is all this s&c nonsense blaa blaa blaaā€. Its a relatively common dispute from club individuals well after agreements have been agreed.

For some reaon he is equating that to me saying its a strong irish male trait for men to take a stance on something and despite all clear evidence to the contray find it impossible to adjust their view. I said it before so i have to stick to it approach. Its pretty flawed in my view. And a long way from a comparision to anythinh on discussion here. The personal nature does not bother me. The stupidy does though.

Thatā€™s a formidable defensive unit Cody has assembled. Five championship games in a row now for Kilkenny starting with the 2015 Waterford semi final in which they havenā€™t conceded a goal from open play. Only goal conceded was Joe Canningā€™s free in injury time in last yearā€™s All Ireland Final when Kilkenny were already half way up the Hogan Stand steps.

Incorrect jeff. Joe Canning scored a goal for galway last year in the final.

You deleted that comment and changed it around. Nicely done Jeff.

did you just fuck up again? If he edited it, the edit sign comes up. If he deleted it, the whole post goes, kinds similar to your deleted posts.

Any more pictures of Tipperary supporters shoes?

see, the little edit sign.

and now the deleted post notice? after your third edit.

Iā€™m sure @GeoffreyBoycott will admit his initial post was ā€œThatā€™s a formidable defensive unit Cody has assembled. Five championship games in a row now for Kilkenny starting with the 2015 Waterford semi final in which they havenā€™t conceded a goal.ā€

Iā€™ve noticed if you get to a post fast enough with your edit, the pen symbol doesnā€™t show afterwards.

Yes and it also helps if you post on your phone too. Gives you an extra second or too.

Just like I just did there. Another mugging off for @Gman

only if someone doesnt see it or reply to it, which isnt what happened above.

In any case, Jeffs point is correct. For all Kilkennys faults apparently at centre and full back, they are conceding fuck all goals.

@GeoffreyBoycott please confirm your post was editedā€¦

another :smirk:

go take pics of some floors and keep posting them up there like a good lad.

What floor?
