All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

Wexford will have 3 by Saturday at 9pm.

Just as a matter of interest Geoff, what was Galways success rate before they entered Leinster in 2012?

Galway have the best record of any county against Kilkenny in the Cody era. Why is this, along with many other simple things, so hard for you to comprehend? Are you saying Limerick have a better record by way of their almost never being good enough to get to play them?

Quite good. Beat them in an AI final in 1987 and in two AI semi-finals in 2001 and 2005ā€¦

Galway entered Leinster in 2009. Only Cork in 2003 and Galway in 2001 and 2005 had beaten Kilkenny in a knock out Championship match under Cody at that stage. Wexford beat them in the Leinster Championship in 2004.

Didnā€™t they give them an awful thumping in Thurles in 86?

A shite Galway team gave Kilkenny their hardest test in 07. Faded in the last 7 minutes rather than the first 7.

Galway have a decent record In a mini league in non knockout games. In actual knockout games Galway have continually found various ways to shit themselves v kk. Theyā€™ve an awful record. No win since 05.

That was possibly the hardest test Kilkenny got during their 4 in a row. Two Kilkenny goals in a minute as youā€™ve said about 6-7 minutes from the end skewed the final result somewhat but it was very much in the balance up to that stage.

Does it devalue the Limerick All Ireland win last year that it was only little old Galway in the final and not Kilkenny?

Every game in the round robin has to be treated as a knock out game, Limerick for example were gone yesterday if they lost, and Kilkenny have dug a big hole for themselves.

You really lose all credibility when you mention ā€œshit themselvesā€ considering you are from Limerick. With the exception of Waterford in 2008 nobody shat it like Limerick in 2007. Limerickā€™s sole win over the Cats in 45 years was last year after Galway had destroyed them mentally in the Leinster final. You should be thanking us as I donā€™t think ye would have beaten the Cats team we played in the drawn Leinster final.

We knocked kk out too.

Canning shat it in 2012. Limerick didnā€™t shit themselves in 07 you clown. They probably played above their capabilities. Kk were a 10 point plus better team. I

Cats :joy: have you any shame at all

They were well softened by the time ye played them. Lady luck was good to ye all through.

Iā€™m struggling to recall an All Ireland Final that was decided quicker than 2007. Even in 2008, Waterford hung in there for 5 maybe 10 minutes longer at the start.

Everyone always has an excuse when they lose to Limerick sure.

Cork had no bench
Kilkenny were softened up
Galway had too many games played
Clare and Waterford were going bad
Tipp had no interest

Weā€™ll be underestimated to 2 in a row.

Not as shameful as being happy to only lose an AI final by 7 points :joy:

Look mate I have no complaints, Iā€™ve seen my county win multiple senior IC AIs in both codes. When it comes to proper GAA counties with a proud historical tradition in both codes, thereā€™s only ourselves and Cork really.
