Anyone got a link to the full piece?
He wound his neck in fairly quick alright.What I see with the rugby is that they’re great praising them when they win but when they lose its the refs fault

Rugby World Cup 2023
It descended into a bit of virtual mutual masturbation pretty quickly !
Vinny Murphy however seems to be having a good bit of one dimensional craic with it.
Rugby World Cup 2027.
Can’t we just say that were not that good.We’re like a poor county team that comes good every now and again for a couple of years.The media here would sicken your hole with the rugby analysis 24/7 even when there’s fuck all on.

They’re the Roscommon, Monaghan, or cork in the super 8’s
Like Galway hurlers.
- Fortunate to play regularly in a tournament with no other teams in a sport only taken seriously by 8 teams.
- A firm believer that they have invented the game for many others but in the greater scheme of things have won fuck all.
- Have supporters who like to think are heavily knowledgeable but really know fuck all.
- Manage to massively underachieve despite having the best player in the world on their team.
- See themselves as one of the top 3 in the sport but rarely beat the top 3 on the big stage when it matters.
The parallels are actually unreal

Oh lordy
Would those years happen to coincide with when the real teams are prepping for the World Cup?
Nice bite to this post. Whilst knowing next to nothing about hurling, it strikes me that Galway teams usually play to a very predictable pattern and can be easily defended against as a result. Galway are usually tactically naive, or at the very least the lack tactical innovation.
I can think of periods or instances when counties like Kilkenny, Limerick, Clare and arguably Tipperary also have shown tactical innovation. I can never remember an example of Galway being tactically innovative, or even just tactically smart.
They go on about short turnarounds and physical disadvantages now, but conveniently ignore it during the annual winter/spring friendly series when Oirish centrally contracted players are fresh and coming up against players from other countries who have to play with their clubs every week. They’re a pack of one-armed waiters.

We’re over it pal.
You’re swinging and flailing all over the place bud. Strong favorites winning games isn’t in the same category as the embarrassment yesterday.
Go take your shoes off and wave them in the air and be happy for the Japanese
