Is the Upper Hogan open on Sunday?

Haven’t seen any tickets for it appear on sale yet.

Cannot understand why WW has not been coached to stand on the sideline with his back to the crowd, attacking a puckout with the hurl in his left hand as a shield and coming on the sweep.

Ah here. That’s a wing backs dream scenario. Just stand inside him and block his run. Have you ever actually played the game?!

and Joe Quaid.

A mighty sound gesture.

Joe Quaid always comes across as a sound character at these type of things.

I do not agree. If wing back goes that road, a smart run brings wing forward inside him. Equally, this approach is a handy way of pinning a wing back out wide, away from centre back, if the puckout is going down on centre forward. Wing forward on other side could do same.

Puckout set up should not be static and is a matter of bluff and counter bluff.

Yes, I played. At what level did you hurl? And have you any imagination?

[alf_stewart]

I’ve played at high enough a level that you know that whatever runs take place before the ball is pucked out you need to be attacking the ball face on on to snatch it in the paw. Otherwise you’d want to be Stephen hendry figuring out the angles, velocity and pace and so on. You suggested a lad stand with his back to the crowd and use his hurl as a shield and just saunter on to the field to catch a ball. Come on now. Are you serious. You do realise the fundamentals of the game don’t you!

“saunter”… Bless.

Stop making a flute of yourself. Or do not. No difference to me.

Predictably, most predictably, you are unwilling/unable to address the deeper points I made.

[alf_stewart]

No adressing the point so. Carry on. I’m sure the Oxford hurling society back you up 100%

[The_Most_Infamous]

A gent. Great character too.

You’re looking well there. Lovely pink t-shirt.

[Breaking_my_balls]

You don’t know who the middle guy is??

cc @Copper_pipe As West Limerick as a stuffing and curry chip

[Aertel220]

I’d have a friend from NCW and was out there before. Wouldn’t know a great deal more about West Limerick. Football country isn’t it?

[Bandage]

Is it Coalisland cu(e)ist Dennis Taylor?

[flattythehurdler]

I tried to catch a long puckout once running along the 45 across the pitch towards it at full tilt. It hit me on the head.

Explains a lot flatty

[Breaking_my_balls]

Traditionally yes but changing now, they’re up Premier Intermediate in the hurling and have a raft of underage players in the hurling academy, the cunts. Their underage football meanwhile is going the opposite way.

If you were out in NCW before I garauntee you that man served you a pint, with a free grunt.

[Breaking_my_balls]

He’d be more famous than Taylor, a bigger social media following than him anyway

Oxford… Tis so obvious, with the small mickey merchants.

I addressed all the points. You could not.

Smiley smiley smiley…

All the way to inanity.

By the way, you know nothing worthwhile about hurling.

Then again, let us not expect, in all fairness, too much hurling barley from a small townland in County Ignorance.

[cluaindiuic]

Would Deegan and Pádraig Walsh work in midfield?

I see midfield as our biggest blocker to progress.
