Larkin, Ryan & Tyrell.

Overrun a few times at centre back? Alright? You don’t understand KK, Cody or high performance at all do ya?

He was destroyed.

Larkin and Tyrell’s legs look as if they are gone, maybe good for 35mins, Ryan is no better than what’s already there

He was not destroyed. Not too many CB’s will live with Gleeson.

How so?

Gleeson roamed throughout the field, did you expect Joyce to follow him into the WD FB line? Joyce held the centre well. No direct runners got through his area for goals. Okay he didn’t catch everything that came down on him but he more than held his own.

Centre back for Cody’s Kilkenny is all about holding the centre. Asking Joyce to follow Gleeson all over the shop would be madness. He didn’t go well but I don’t think we have a better option there that wouldn’t leave a Mick Fennelly sized hole in the middle of the field.

Any thoughts as to why Joyce was withdrawn after 49 minutes? Very unusual step to take off a centre back that’s seemingly going okay and who’s not injured.

Injury?

No you fucking pillock.

His direct opponent had a field day and he got whipped. Gleeson scored from all positions and veat Joyce 1-on-1 as well. He ran thei the middle for a great score in both halves.

You are the only moron oeddling this today. Anyone that has discussed it says he got a trimming. You are too dumb for words

No. I saw him called ashore and walk off the field just in front of where I was sitting. He wasn’t injured. He was taken off with more than one third of the game still to play because he was destroyed.

What Mickey Mouse club is Joyce from?

Rower Inistoige.

Born in Portlaoise though so he’s one of yours.

How on earth would you have that information?

He was lucky to make it out alive if so.

Long story but in a nutshell, he’d be out and about in Dungarvan a bit. Spend a good bit of time in West Waterford as we have a holiday home down there.

He must be very proud of his Portlaoise roots so to be going on about it.

Then again, if the alternative was Initioge…

Wouldn’t Inistioge be one of the jewels of Co Kilkenny. Whereas portlaoise is famous for housing terrorists and Woollie.

Inistioge is very picturesque but it doesn’t have many roundabouts
