All Ireland Hurling Championship 2022

No idea? @Malarkey

Fair point.

They lack leading figures at 3,6 & 11.

They kinda of robbed Peter to pay Paul switching Conlon back to 6 in reality.

Lack of depth as you said.

Kelly’s second ever game with no score from play?

Horgan let it flow which suited kk. Animal workrate. Good disciplined tackling. 1-17 and one/wan wide in the first half!! Murphy is the best goalie of all time.

What is Munster hurling? The big hou$€ and a shower of pussies

39k was a pitiful attendance for an All Ireland Semi Final. Lack of razzmatazz was quite striking cc @Cheasty

I don’t ignore their improvement but I don’t see an AI winning team

Regarding TJ and his ability to catch a ball…

Would defenders be better off battling the ball rather than competing with the hand? I know it doesn’t secure possession but competing with the hand seems futile.

Be a terrific aerial battle between TJ and GearĂłid in the final. Both of them going for the high catch.
Be worth the ticket price alone. They’ll have the tight marking Butler lad on Whaylen………:wink:

Exactly

Or the aul archaic tactic of break his paw if he dares raise it to catch the ball.

I’m guilty of overrating Clare. That was a complete systems malfunction today and they aren’t that bad. Conlon’s loss was obviously huge and the replacement decision exacerbated it. Aside from dumb potshots and general wastefulness, some Clare players were very laboured in their movement. For example. I thought Cathal Malone looked like he was trying to run in quicksand throughout and Cian Kenny lost him easily for the second goal. Kenny was my MOTM. I agreed with Tyrrell’s punditry point that Kilkenny have struck a much better balance between working the ball around and going direct in the last two games. Their decision making and crispness/touch was high quality and they must have been flying in training in recent weeks.

Kilkenny are training and playing like they used to when they were winning All Ireland’s

To think there are clowns out there who wanted Brian Cody gone. Thing is he has probably forgotten more about the game than they will ever know. Remarkable where the appetite and hunger comes from and the players never seem to lie down. Limerick will be itching for a crack at them after 2019 but then again so will Galway. If you told me there would be a hammering doled out this weekend I would have said Galway would have been on the receiving end but maybe that will be a classic now tomorrow. We could do with one.

The wides kilt Clare. If they hit 3 or 4 of the multitude they missed in the first half it’s a different game altogether.
We were blessed to hit a good day and have the opposition hit a bad one.

Did he?

Not any more mate.

They didn’t have the seven point limerick hatred bonus. Never turned up. Crazy shooting from far out. KK are some boyos in fairness
