you’ll get the usual response around the country now, with questions like, why was this allowed to happen?

They’ve to take responsibility for themselves. A shocking development.

They have 16 senior hurling clubs, and some big towns.

Ah here. Where are all these big towns? They’ve one town where hurling is main game.

Birr and Tullamore.

Shur wasnt Duignan in tears last year after they bate the metropolitans ( minus their Cuala contingent ) , comvinced they were on the way back?
They’re dangerously close now to falling to Wexfords level

There’s no relegation from 1A this year, but afaik there is relegation from 1B and Offaly are staring down the barrel of it.

Julio_Geordio · February 4, 2019, 3:53pm

Fuck em. They’ve done nothing to help themselves no one has a right to stay at the top table.

They ploughed all their money into the white elephant in Tullamore while other counties like Clare and Waterford were prepared to have hovels for county grounds and put money into hurling.

Spot on.

Fagan_ODowd · February 4, 2019, 4:13pm

And then you have Cork spunking 70 million on a ground they can’t even use.

Julio_Geordio · February 4, 2019, 4:14pm

They may as well use it for the ploughing

Ralphie · February 4, 2019, 4:25pm

You could be on to something have the ploughing championship there every year

So much for the legendary Cark cuteness…

Corksfinedtboy · February 4, 2019, 5:23pm

Strictly tullamore country for those country pursuits

Corksfinedtboy · February 4, 2019, 5:23pm

We got it langball though😊

Watching the Cork-Wexford game here as I had a play date yesterday afternoon and missed it. My goodness, Johnny Murphy is an appalling referee. He booked three Wexford players in the first half literally for nothing - Jack O’Connor, Paudie Foley and Conor McDonald. I don’t understand Gaelic but I can recognise the tone of sheer bewilderment from the commentators looking at the replays. None of them even committed fouls or did anything aggressive.

Julio_Geordio · February 4, 2019, 11:12pm

He’s being fast tracked to the top. Fuck knows why.

the_man_himself · February 4, 2019, 11:14pm

I was only half watching it yesterday so missed the other two but the McDonald one was baffling

Esso_Oil · February 4, 2019, 11:17pm

He won’t be able to ref an All Ireland Hurling final for at least 8 years.

He is shockingly whistle happy. Hed drive you mad watching a match. The players must be fit to kill with him chirping away all the time
