Allianz National Hurling League 2024

I don’t know?

You’re saying if he gave those 10 he wouldn’t have sent anyone off?

Limerick mightn’t be too bad this year.

Sound job, you only have the 3 minutes highlights so.

I was there myself and although there was no proper filth (bar Whelo in fairness as I can slate my own countymen) there’s no match in the history of any sport that won’t escalate when you give silly yellows. Murphy gave yellows for fouls you would never see yellow’d by any top referee. There was 2 coddlers yellow’d for backchat at one stage which is absolute nonsense.

I found him fierce poor.

All the wan. We’ll bate the bollix off them anyway.

Jesus, McManus bigging up his own clubman as the best 18 year old in the country.

Carlow shorts are ridiculous.

But you’re ok with the jersey?

Can’t do much about it, the white shorts are perfect with it.

Went to Offaly Cork today. Pitch was poor and cut too tight which took from standard of it.
Offaly were missing one or two but were way off the standard they had in Nowlan Park 2 weeks ago. They looked like what they are. A few decent young lads, about 2 decent older lads and a lot of good club hurlers. I’m not sure they’re doing Sceeeney any favours playing him so young when he’s still so light. O’Leary annihalated him.
I was surprised how big Cork backs were. Rob Downey was the stand out player for me. I don’t see how Mellerick gets in at all. Their backs look fine to me. My dad (Corkman) was delighted with workrate of forwards.

They’re really not

De Burca is ready to rock again.

Phenomenal pass. Whelan the sniffer dog in the right place to receive it.

Congress would want to sort them out

Would anyone truly miss Carlow?

Waterford starting team will be:

O Brien
Fitzgerald, Prunty, Fanning?
Fagan, TDB, Lyons
Barron, Leavy

After that you need forwards, that’s where the problems lie:

Hutchinson, Patrick Fitz, Hogan,
Monty? Stephen Bennett?
Mikey Kiely?

Can’t see that team winning much.

Downey, Joyce and Coleman are as good a half back line there is in the country.

Mellerick is probably more of a corner back but Cork seem to have plenty of options here with O Donoghue, O Leary and Eoin Downey. Cahalane will probably start FB in championship.

Tommy O Connell and Darragh Fitz midfield looks promising.

Then the fun begins trying to pick a forward line. And one that works well together. Connolly could be a serious option this year and Jack O Connor is looking sharp.

It’s just an extension of Kilkenny anyway

You’d hardly take them serious

All my most recent experience with Carla folk - but by no means my only experience with them - is sitting beside them for All Ireland Finals, while they shout their heads off for KK.
You must have family in KK? “No”.
Do you live on the border? “No”.

Jesus Christ lads, have some self respect.

The biffs are the same. Stockholm Syndrome…

Downey’s a pound shop bully. Will get shown up when it comes to it.
