The points are all well and good but itās a pity ye wouldnāt go for the odd goal. It would improve the spectacle for the rest of us.

We did the goals last year, we mixed it up this year to keep it fresh for ye.
Theyāre the weirdest bunch of cunts in Ireland. The hard on that Offaly, Laois, Carlow boggers have for Kilkenny is just mind boggling.

The obsession with LEINSTER HURLING by Brian, Carroll, Duignan et al is really really sad.

True. What about the ball is dropped and you have to hit the ball off the ground? Like a sideline.
The drop shot pull. Declan Ryan was a master at that

John Leahy was an exponent also.
TJ Reid has scored 0-1 from play in the last 4 AI finals he has played, yet he is lauded as the greatest player of all time in some sectors of the hurling media, great players contribute a lot more than that. Hego has scored 3-16 in his last 4 AI finals for example.

TJās assists must be off the scale though.
Fucks sakes 
He isnāt able to do anything other than catch a puckout or two aside from the frees. Desperately overrated and always has been. Tends to get easy frees from referees

He did a mountain of work last year. He fecking carried Kilkenny for a few years.
Thereās the small matter of him being the all time top scorer in the game too
Assists us a farce stat in a sport where you can score from up to around 90 metres out

Ah to be fair TJ is at the tail end of his career, wouldnāt be overly harsh on his last couple of AI performances. They wouldnāt have reached either but for him.
He just canāt get away from lads to get shots off anymore, happens to everyone. Savage longevity, but a bit mad how, if he steps away, heād have played his last 8 years as an intercounty player and not won another AI.
From my own time watching Kilkenny Iād probably have him at number 5 in terms of Kilkenny greats. (Thatās not a dig at TJ and more a compliment to the others theyāve produced.
Reid - 5
Shefflin - 4.
DJ - 3.
Delaney - 2.
Tommy Walsh - 1.
Wonder will any of the current Limerick outfield players still be essential men at 35. Probably wonāt be a great sign if they are in time.

Limerick are the team players and teams are judged by nowadays.
Tj reid has faced Limerick seven times in his championship career.
He has managed the grand total of 4 points from play including 0 in his last three appearances against Limerick.
