All Ireland Hurling Championship 2018

Whereā€™s the Dow?:thinking:

Check the facts mate.

Iā€™m dealing with a lad that described Alan McCrabbe (who is 10 stone soaking wet) as a gym monkey. Facts are a ā€˜nice to haveā€™ but not a necessity.

Having said that I was really surprised to learn the Gerry snr has no all stars. Iā€™d guess he was fairly harshly treated at the time because I remember having some absolute stormers around that time.

Gerry was unfortunate to be of the same era as one of the greats of Tipperary hurling who also seems to have been harshly dealt with. Amazing that Bobby Ryan only got 3 All Stars. With those stats Gerry was lucky to get zero.

The fact that hes light doesnā€™t preclude him from the gym monkey label. Its a variation on manufactured hurler, one the gaa (the sports governing body) tried to force into being through millions of over funding for one team in a supposedly impartial championship. But all it produced was awkward looking robots.

But yeah, rushe has two all stars. Gerry mac has none :smile:

The All Stars lads, itā€™s about time ye all came round to it.

Seriously? You are literally trying to tell us that black is white here.

:rollseyes:

Probably been mentioned here already but listened to the GAA hour podcast on a flight today.
Christ aboveā€¦JJ and Hayes are 2 gobshites. The waffling they were doing at the start about poor attendances :persevere:
Hayes is some gombeen while JJ is just morphing into another cliche merchant like half the sunday game crew.
Wooly isnā€™t afriad to give feedback to other people on twitterā€¦
Wonā€™t bother with it again if those 2 are on

Hayes is comically poor

He was farcial. Rambling on that there is no Na Piarsaigh player starting for Limerick. He never knew the Morriseys were brothers. Even so, why admit it :joy: he is some tool

I actually think the podcast is quite good. Just cant listen when hes on it.

Agree. Really like Cheddar but the JJ/Hayes combo is horrific. They nearly bring the worst out of wooly then also.
Cheddar is no nonsense common sense. Top bloke

JJ offers nothing only a bit of sniggering and a few Johnnycomelately type one liners. Hayes is a pure abomination of a pundit

he didnā€™t cop Mike Casey was from Na P then?!

Wonderful.

Nope. Not until the other lads mentioned it

He hasnā€™t seen Limerick play since the 1B game in salthill.

Parkinsons worse for having him on tbh.

Spot on, he really should phase him out at this stage. Hard to do on a personal level maybe.
