Allianz Hurling League 2017 Final

I can understand your viewpoint, but sticking the league final in Croke Park every year in front of less than 20,000 isn’t a great look for the competition or the sponsors. The standard of the competition every year certainly deserves a big Croke Park day out but it wouldn’t be long until people are whingeing about having to go to Dublin for ‘an oul league final’. Not a runner.
Gotta hand it to Allianz, they’ve been backing this thing for a good long while now and I’d reckon they’d rather the final be played in front of a big crowd in a small ground than a very small crowd in a very big ground.

Any links to watch the game from abroad?

Looks like Gizzy had a trim after all the abuse he got here last weekend.

It seems strange to play D3 and 4 football final in front of an empty stadium but it’s not ok to do so with the second biggest Hurling game of the GAA year. Playing it in front of a half full gaelic grounds with those poor bastards on the far side getting pissed down upon isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement either.

I hear what you’re saying about 20k in Croke Park but this year it seems particularly weird.

Another abomination of a Tipp goalies jersey, but still at least better than the last one.

The new shirt looks relatively decent tbf, nothing too risky but solid.

There isn’t 20k in GG today .

I wouldn’t know.

The Gaelic Grounds today made sense,

Fuck up.

Limerick GAA men living down the road wouldn’t even bother their holes going to it. Half the crowd are getting pissed down on. It’s embarrassing for a national competition. If you wish me to stop, then fuck off replying you tiresome cunt.

Watching the hurling while hearing the life being sucked out of the rugby fans nearby in the 51 is the stuff of dreams.

I’ve no idea what the craic is with the football or why they do that but Limerick is the best option for both teams today anyway. Where else has 2 covered stands bar Thurles.
No way Galway are going there for a final against Chipp.

This could be good. A battle in store.

I wouldn’t worry about it chief. He’s being launching scuds at Limerick for awhile now. I think he’s trying to draw @dodgy_keeper out. Why I don’t know because every time he does he gets his arse handed to him

Tisnt raining in Linerick .

Croke Park
Parnell Park
Ennis

To name just 3

I’d only play it in one of those. I heard the GG is falling apart, not even lights in the toilets.

Good start by Galway but tip find Is easy to score

Great puckout.

That’s probably about 80 metres, driven at pace straight into his paw and they win a free as a result.

Why are you so fucking protective of a hunk of concrete? Would you and the other lad ever fucking grow up. As for that other prick, he can fuck off too.

A national Final deserves a proper setting. Now fuck off.
