Limerick should beat Kilkenny
Galway 1-28 Kilkenny 3-15. FT.
Impressive second half for both teams in different ways. Kilkenny cutting the gap back to one and Galway pulling away again.
Galway showed the real mark of champions the way they finished over last 15 minutes. Kilkenny will invariably always get a run at you at some stage in any match. Obvious contrast for Galway with 1997 quarter final, when the Kilkenny run turned into a full scale Galway collapse and loss. That win could be worth a lot to Galway compared to sleep walking their way through a 2nd half to an 11-12 point win as looked likely coming up to half time and early in the 2nd half.
It was alright for 10+ years while they did it to Tipperary and Cody choose his favorite referees. Now that ye stopped fighting and became competitive ye realise its a big issue.
When galway lift liam in August they can thank us for giving them the kick up the hole they needed.
Handy.
Some heads out on the pitch there.
#itscominghome*
*for another good kicking.
Roaster fest
Duignan and Marty are a fucking pain. Duignan after 55 mins 'This game should have been played in Portlaoise". After 68 mins when Scanlon of Kk was fouled âwe may have to see the introduction of black card for fouls like thatâ. No mention of this in previous 10 years when Kilkenny were doing it wholesale.
As good as it gets
If we donât win, I would be hugely disappointed. It wonât be easy but they are definitely beatable, if we are in form, we should match up fairly well against them.
Between the U21 ref during the week and this lad itâs no wonder we make it look difficult. Cunts.
Richie Hogan was some disaster for Kilkenny in the last 12 minutes. Fucked up every single ball that came his way. Sad when a career peeters out like that.
He was winning the ball in fairness, Iâd start him every time
His legs are gone
It looks like his brain is gone.
Joe Canning sticking it to the Galway fans for the abuse given to them after last Sunday. Even mentioned waking up to a tweet from a Galway man giving him loads for last Sunday
Heâs just revealed the guy is from KINVARA
Joe got an abusive tweet from a man from Kinvara
Well prepare to be hugely disappointed then. In fairness itâs pretty easy to read what type of Kilkenny weâre going to be facing next weekend. I donât see us ready for that intensity yet.
