I played junior hurling.

At 12? Some going. They wouldn’t allow that now. Fucking split season

You’ve a junior hurling outlook on life

@Julio_Geordio

Look some of what the two boys complain about is fair. It should be pushed two weeks later. And the football championship is a farce. But that has nothing at all to do with the split season.

The tokenism of bringing the Joe Mac teams into the championship when they weren’t good enough to be in it in the first place should be gotten rid of. But again that is the format not the split season.

The two lads never played club. That much is clear to see. The split season is a god send for the club player.

It’s not going anywhere

Why should it be pushed two weeks later? It’s 3 months too long.

So the football championship is a disaster.

Hurling is dying in Leinster.

And you’re delighted because you got a day out in Thurles.

Hurling won’t be played in 5 counties the way we are going.

@ChairmanDan

Absolutely. If you’re going with two groups in this round robin blitz format, it’s a farce that you have the bottom team in one group gets relegated but the bottom team in the other group doesn’t. Wexford after their relegation is likely confirmed next week, will be looking across the water from Hook to Crooke at Waterford, bottom yet again after yet another whitewash in the Round Robin blitz, just 1 win from 16 but permanently ring-fenced against relegation as are Tipperary (who should have been relegated last year), Cork, Clare and Limerick.

It is deeply unfair.

[Julio_Geordio]

There are six counties who could win the all Ireland this year.

There are three counties who have won something like 70% of all championships. You are at around 80% if you make it 4 and include Limerick

Hurling has always been like this. It’s probably in as good a place as it was since the 90s

Hurling is in a terrible place. there’s barely a good player under the age of 25.

I’d imagine it’s being played by less people know than ever before.

Again 100% agree. Again. Nothing to do with the split season

You should stop imagining. It’s running away from you

Mate. You’ve taken this too far now

The format was brought in because of the split season. Same with the woeful football championship.

Hurling round robin brought in before split season.

[Julio_Geordio]

You are struggling here again.

Read slowly.

The FORMAT is NOT the SPLIT SEASON

And the FORMAT for the hurling was in place before the SPLIT SEASON

Yes for two years to put so pressure on clubs to agree to postponing the club championships until after the inter county season.

They’ve carte Blanche on the first 8 months of the season. They need to fill the time somehow without the club championships.

Club championship in April does not work mate.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

It worked for years until they decided to let a couple of inter county managers call the shots.

[ChairmanDan]

Wexford’s relegation would certainly speed up the long term goal of Croke Lark, the abolition of provincial championships. The Croke Park master plan of interminable league games and ‘champions league’ type structures as espoused by the likes of Martin Breheny and Ger Gilroy in the media is ot too far off.

[Julio_Geordio]

@BruidheanChaorthainn

worked for years

It didn’t. That’s why they changed it

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

It won’t be long before club championships are partly run without the inter County players.

So now you don’t want relegation? Tis hard to keep up
