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

Iā€™d love for kev to get the cork job.

You obviously missed the Sunday game last night! A more self righteous cunt you couldnā€™t meet bar maybe McGrath next to him.

Under 21 is a very different ball game to senior.

Again, those players were the equivelent of under 23 in 2018.

Derek overachieved in getting them to an All-Ireland final ahead of schedule.

And him coming back looks by far their best chance of making another one because Waterford look pretty thin on coaching talent within the county otherwise and they donā€™t seem to have the big bucks to lure an outsider, and there are very few viable ones whoā€™d be worth paying for at this moment in any event.

I saw it.

I agree on them doing their homework on his runs but it didnā€™t matter a jot in the first half.
Ultimately, Kiely & Co fucked it up by isolating him in the second half. Mulcahy had no business out the field and Casey was done by half time.

Cody deserves huge credit for having his team primed the way they were but in essence Kiely filled his togs on the line imo.

Kev in the Fraggy role!

He built a team of utter cunts who downed tools when he fucked off.

Wolly can hardly say much and he trying to take the piss out a legend like Babs Keating a few weeks ago.

Eddie Brennan and who else?

In fairness Derekā€™s race is run. The only style of play that he appears to be capable of getting his teams to play and that he is till clinging to like a drowning man has been comprehensively found out and is already obsolete

John Kiely really overachieved so.

If, as you say, the team were utter cunts who downed tools when left, that makes his achievement in getting them to an All-Ireland final which they werenā€™t far off winning even more impressive

This is true but you fail to address the issue of Tipp playing the system in front of them.

If the Championship was straight knockout who was unbeaten in Munster up to the Munster Final? Would LK have made the final???

Iā€™m delighted to see the back of cowardly wild pulling and fingr breakers myself tbh.

Kiely certainly overachieved - but he also had two different All-Ireland under-21 teams to build from

Maintaining consistent success with young teams at senior level can be very difficult

Derek McGrath was completely vindicated by Wexford losing to a 14 man Tipp. Thatā€™s the thrust of what he was saying last night I think.

And he got the Brits out too
