All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

Jesus I hope not. Has all the experience but you’d fear for him

Ah go on…

I know Joyce played at the weekend but I wouldn’t have thought he’s the answer either. Maybe Cahalane at wing-back?

Any name in the frame for the Cork full back line has pros and cons (barring Spillane who’d be a certainty), I’d have Stevie in from the start every day

I wouldnt mind that

Just wouldnt fancy him marking reid

Yep, I mentioned the little undercurrent of frustration and seethe that was coming from Kilkenny in 2’18. A few of them are quite rattled by Wexford being able to mix it with them again and that’s why I advocated violence in the Wexford Park stands during the round robin phase, if necessary.

That attitude shone through in the article for me. It was a real “sincere congratulations but…” piece. It amuses me somewhat how people get so agitated by a seventh (7th) defender in any event. Other successful teams, including Kilkenny ones, often dropped their midfield and half forward line back to exploit the space left upfront. Negative bastards, hurling with 8 (eight) defenders.

I imagine Laois supporters have no qualms about John Lennon’s sweeper role yesterday.

I wouldn’t have thought he’d be the man for man-marking TJ though. TJ would kill him in the air you’d imagine?

I think Cork will just go 15 v 15.

Hip and whip?

Ah yes, I hadn’t read the thread carefully, McDonnell has one huge advantage as a man marker and that’s pace obviously, more suited to a traditional (in the modern sense :smiley:) corner back role rather than getting dragged all over croke park by TJ
I won’t lose any sleep anyway, they have an all time great and 14 mullockers, Croke Park will be set up for Cork to despatch them handy and move onto tougher challenges.

These John Lennon puns are crap

Time for the mods to hand out a few cards, yellow and red ones

Thanks pal. Looking forward to reading it over lunch.
