All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019 II*** Up Laois

[anon61878697]

They beat Kilkenny too no?

[TheBird]

You have to break something in Leix to get a red.

[anon32894817]

It didn’t matter if they won or lost that. They were still in an all ireland q/f.

[anon61878697]

They beat KK. Unbeaten v Galway, KK, Dublin … You’re stuck in 2017 - the championship format has moved on and you havent.

[Ashman]

In 1982 World Cup Italy drew all 3 group games .

[anon32894817]

They played 4 championship round robin games and won one v Carlow. It’s a fact.

[fenwaypark]

Pat Mulcahy is he can commit.

[anon32894817]

The format should change next year where the number of wins decides standings as opposed to points difference.

[anon61878697]

What does it matter about winning when draws are enough?

@Gman

97 and 01 the last times we played Tipp in the semi finals? I remember the 97 one with all the talk beforehand about how physical Wexford were and that the ref had to be up on his game to protect the Tipp lads. Rory McCarthy was pole axed out of the game with an illegal challenge and fuck all done over it. The 01 drawn game had Brother O Gorman from midfield doing wreck and salvaging a draw. Martin Storey made an appearance too as a sub. Liam Dunne and Brendan O Meara sent off in the replay for a bit of handbags. And Mitch Jordan sent off late on for a wild pull. A young David Doc O Connor playing in that drawn game and replay. Eoin Kelly too for Tipp only a young lad making his name at the time.

Brian O’Meara.

He’s still thick over missing the all Ireland final.

4 young guns - Doc O’Connor on Lar Corbett and Rory Mallon on Eoin Kelly - in the corners, with Darragh Ryan and Declan Ryan tearing strips out of each other in between them. LarryO was moved upfront in that 2001 drawn game alright and helped us come from way back. I also have a vague memory of Rory McCarthy having a great chance to win it but sending a 20/30-yard snapshot wide from a fairly central position.

Tony Dempsey gave his replay half time team talk oblivious to the fact that Mitch Jordan had been sent off shortly before half time.

That second day was a horribly wet day. Torrential rain and wind. Didnt suit our brash brand of quick dry weather hurling…

We beat Limerick in the round prior with Fitzhenry scoring a free at the very end to win it. Rory McCarthy scored a cracker of a goal at the start of that game.

Wexford v Tipperary 2001 GAA

[georgeorwell]

One of the names on that list certainly won’t be next Cork manager after trouble he found himself in last year on a night out.

[Perez2017]

Man made a mistake, who doesn’t.

[georgeorwell]

I agree. I’m not judge and Jury here. I’m just saying it will be a black mark against him and for that reason he won’t be appointed even though he is very progressive thinking and most qualified candidate from that list.

[StoneCold]

What does his surname rhyme with?

[georgeorwell]

Ned Flanders.
