Gorta is the poll leader here, don’t know why…
Because he laughed at a man who could have been dying for all he knew
Probably the most sickening thing I’ve ever seen on a hurling field.
Forgot all about that. Gorta acting the cunt there alright. But the most sickening thing I’ve ever seen on the hurling pitch was Aidan Ryan shouldering John Power over the sideline in 1991
Some hard man power alright :rolleyes:
Was there a big fight in that game at some stage? It’s one of my earliest memories watching hurling on the telly. The ref comes across like some cunt there when he starts beckoning Power. What a knob.
One of the worst finals ever, the referee booked power for having the temerity to push Aidan Ryan.
I think they removed the barbed wire from Croker after that…
That was the same day that the Bossman left a Tippman out on his back on Hill 16,the blood was runnin out of him,ill never forget it.
Aidan Ryan didnt do that much wrong to be fair,id be confident that he didnt intend to put Power into the railing.it’d warm your heart to see footage of the great Ollie Walsh there with his arms around Power as he was being treated for his injury,you could see by the expression on Ollies face that he felt the pain of the injury himself,he was most Kilkenny followers favourite Kilkennny manager of all time,a widely loved man,as much as Brian Cody ever won he never connected with players or supporters in the way that Ollie could.
Have “Seanie” Fitzpatrick and Fingers Fingleton appeared in the voting yet?
Power was as tough as nails in fairness. I always remember the hurley he used have with the red tape that was nearly black.
