Three points up with three minutes to play, yes you’d expect them to hold on alright

If he’d gone right he’d have been swallowed up by the chap running back in the white helmets

flattythehurdler:

No not really. Sure twas against Cork. It was an important but routine enough intervention for a keeper of Quaids talent. Its like the hit on mcinerney. If you go back and watch last year’s final, he was knocked backward in identical fashion early on by a Waterford player. I remember thinking at the time that if Waterford win, they’ll be talking bollox about it for a generation. Waterford lost, and it was airbrushed out of history. I’m not a believer in this constant need among people to mythogise relatively mundane occurrences, and imbue them with some sort of magical significance. If Quaid hadn’t tapped that ball away, the chance was already slipping away as cover had got back, and even if he’d scored, Cork were done by the paucity of their reserves. I don’t read as much into things as people like to. I don’t get bitter about losing an aif really, we’ve lost plenty. It’s done, was done within a day or two, and life continued. Sin e e. There is a want in some folk that I don’t understand. I’ve never understood the raptures a win for a team you’ve no direct involvement in can provoke. Like I said, I’d rather win junior b with the club.

It’s fascinating what a lucid thinker you are.

Not necessarily

when weaker hurling counties like Limerick win things, everything has to be magnified x 1000 and eulogised, they loose the run of themselves very quickly. I’ve seen it all before

gilgamboa · August 28, 2018, 9:00pm

Yep. Its like a rerun of 1995 at the moment. A team of bachelors, a novelty win, a county starved of success. All of a sudden they invented hurling

I see Mike Casey has confirmed he is a mere 5ft 10’’ …wasn’t it you slapping people down and confirming he is 6ft… Glynn might never play again with the shame.

Perez2017 · August 28, 2018, 9:06pm

I agree with flatty the hurler I must say. Fellas losing their life over their team winning an Ireland yet no one from their club on. Always found that very strange.

balbec · August 28, 2018, 9:14pm

We never claimed that mate. Not yet anyway

balbec · August 28, 2018, 9:14pm

So he was giving Glynn seven inches and still bate him?

anon61956325 · August 28, 2018, 9:16pm

Destroyed I think is a far more accurate word …

the_man_himself · August 28, 2018, 9:17pm

It’ll be the same for ye in another 10 or 15 years mate

Fagan_ODowd · August 28, 2018, 9:18pm

Bate him up a stick. Galway didn’t want to know

What year was it when cork beat the pulp of limerick in minor in a round robin game and then lost to them in a knockout game a month later? Similar in the 21s they hammered tipp in a non knockout game but when there was an all ireland to be won they were beaten again. Just like in the seniors this year they drew with limerick in a round robin game but when it came to knockout games they couldn’t man up.

myboyblue · August 28, 2018, 9:19pm

Half of them were still pissed.

anon61956325 · August 28, 2018, 9:20pm

They were sobered up fairly lively.

myboyblue · August 28, 2018, 9:21pm

Shur Gearoid Mac couldnt keep his feet he was that hammered still.

anon61956325 · August 28, 2018, 9:22pm

Flanagan hitting him won us the All Ireland. Did you know that?

myboyblue · August 28, 2018, 9:23pm

I thought he tripped up?

Bod95 · August 28, 2018, 9:30pm

Ah sure ye have the intermediate AI title to shorten the winter for ye🤭
