All Ireland Hurling Championship 2022

@croppy_boy

Same amount of All-Ireland SHC wins since 1989 and Wexford with two more overall.

Know your place.

Galway have never beaten Armagh in an All-Ireland football quarter-final.

Wexford have.

Galway have a 0% record against Wexford in the All-Ireland football championship.

Galway have a 0% record* against Wexford in All-Ireland series hurling matches.

*One draw in 1976.

Wexford 4 in a rows in All-Ireland SFC = 1
Galway 4 in a rows in All-Ireland SFC = 0

What Limerick player misses the Final due to suspension?

Quaid would send them into meltdown.

What Limerick player misses the Final due to suspension?

Barry Nash to pay the price for others transgressions. Much gnashing of teeth and wailing and posted betting slips of Nash for HOTY. He’s not that kind of player banners. Marching down O Connell St. Shane Lowry making a statement pleading for clemency at the pro am

Same with Cappagh and C/K. Also, Football will always be #1 in NCW from what I’ve gathered. Their young lads are coming up through the ranks and when they play adult in both they tend to lean towards football because the fuckers really have their house in order regards coaching and organisation etc. Although the football manager from last year is manager in both codes this year now I’ve heard. Billy Lee’s brother.

NCW has a strong soccer culture too hasn’t it? Although the two clubs merged recently so they’re all under the one banner now I think.

They won the Munster junior league in Rugby as well this season with a fair handful of footballers involved

It’s the hope that kills you

Good one

Would Deegan and Pádraig Walsh work in midfield?

I see midfield as our biggest blocker to progress.

I think PD’s best position would be midfield. His partner there would depend on form. But PW’s best position would probably also be midfield.

@thedancingbaby

Any particular reason why the semi finals aren’t capturing the public’s imagination ?

Only 40,000 expected at Clare vs Kilkenny and even more disappointingly considering the population of both counties, only 50,000 expected at Galway vs Limerick.

The cost of living a factor here i presume.

summer holiday season?

Kilkenny dont travel in big numbers

Clare will have a big crowd but probably losing a few owing to the big numbers that went to earlier matches

Galway have football as well

[flattythehurdler]

Shows how far Wexford has fallen that they can barely field in football and expend most of their energy trying to avoid having to play Galway at minor hurling

[carryharry]

I wouldn’t like to see anyone miss one but I’d fear that a few cards are marked. Plus the fracas last weekend will have officials trigger happy

[balbec]

Don’t worry, We won’t be stamping on anyone.

We’ll be there in our tens of 10’s.

If Galway are so concerned with minor hurling I’m sure they’ve been going to great lengths to develop their fellow Connacht counties to allow for a competition to actually take place there.

Agreed it’s not a wasteland at all, there are some very strong sides and players coming from the West. You have a senior side, premier intermediate side, and a host of intermediate teams which isn’t bad for a “wasteland”. You could easily have another PI side there next year too in possibly C/K or Ballingarry.

[Batigol]

I’d expect a HUGE crowd from Clare Saturday, seeing as it’s their first trip to Croker since 2018. A HUGE crowd

[Watchthepost]

Indeed. And strong rugby presence as well. The strong soccer culture keeps the football strong too I’d say, the likes of AJ O Connor
