Sky?
I don’t know. Those times on a Saturday are no help to the working man or woman.
Double header is lovely all the same

Both on RTE I think
Tailteen Cup given priority on Sunday plus all Saffer rugger match on RTE2 Sat evening. Farce.

Saturday kinda suits me guys
They were presuming the Irish teams would be in the rugby.
Galway and Cork should be the headline match and on second, it’s the more attractive fixture of the two IMO.

Would have thought 2 stand alone fixtures was a good option here.
Ennis would have been ideal but with Clare involved on the same day Portlaoise could surely have been an option. Clare and Wex could carry enough support to warrant Nowlan Park by themselves and TV could still broadcast both games. 4 counties piling into Thurles just has an air of lets get this over and done with.

How do they always make a hames of it? Cork v Galway at fucking quarter to 2 on a Saturday?? To add further insult to injury they have Clare v Wexford as the second game. Fairly shocking if true

It’s confirmed
Any word on Tony Kelly? Was the protective boot just precautionary?

It’s confirmed alright.
There is just a GAA obsession with double headers in large stadia that generally have a graveyard atmosphere.
Tailteann Cup semi finals on Saturday with both hurling quarter finals in the prime time slots of 2pm and 4pm on Sunday was a no brainer.
Clare v Wexford in Portlaoise would have had a cracking atmosphere. Instead it’ll be played in a sort of zombie zone with Cork and Galway supporters drifting in and out. Portlaoise doesn’t have HawkEye though.

Getting out of that shithole Thurles as early as feasible is to be encouraged. Thank fuck it’s not down in Cork.
You’d need your head examined if you have trouble getting out of Thurles. Probably one of the easiest grounds to get out of.

You must not have the local knowledge cc @TreatyStones
Traffic not the issue, just the town itself.
Thurlus is a great spot the day if a match. Getting out is the cunt

No use to me. Flying out Saturday around midday. Going to have to spend Sunday enjoying my holidays now instead of buried in my phone watching spud hockey. Rather puts a dampener on things.
