Galway V Kilkenny 2014

will rte show the replay?

Good championship hurling… I really wonder how either of these teams would cope with Clare in full flow…

Our management are not the brightest in my opinion, it took them too long to react to what was happening in the pitch in our bad patch… all it needed was a substitute or an injury to break momentum when we went 4/5 pints down… suddenly we were 10 pints down.

We got fierce fierce lucky today… I’m not sure what sort of a yardstick KK are anymore.

No.

Eoin Murphy is a pretty poor goalkeeper as well. Not as poor as Callanan, mind, but that’s not saying much.

I’m sure I’ll get over it. He was popping up in the middle the whole time.

My point remains that I think he’s better suited to a midfield berth however.

No he’s a great defender to the fact in three seasons he has 2 all Ireland’s and 2 all stars and should have got hoty too.

He only needs to concede 5 goals in a game again to be as good as Anthony Nash

He’s a fine hurler. But he can’t defend for shit. Did you see where he was for the Glynn penalty. ( That’s a trick question, he was so far from the play that you couldn’t, which is extraordinary for a corner back in the last seconds with his team a goal up)

He hasnt the engine for it anymore, better for him to stand back face the ball and fight.

Was it not his stray clearance that went straight to Galway full back that was then launched down that lead to the penalty?

It was.

It was, which calls into question his earlier appraisal of him as a great man to clear a ball.

Yes. It was the sort of thing Waterford came to expect from Declan Prendergast.

“A great player has an ordinary game” shock horror

You have me wrong there I think hes top class, junior c hurler glynn can cause anyone problems on a good day

Not a great defender. Found out.

I disagree. Name a better right corner back in the last 3 seasons?

James Rigney, for starters.

@caoimhaoin[/USER] and [USER=232]@Turenne scoffing when I said Galway had as good forwards as Cork, or better. They need to bite the bullet and drop David Burke but otherwise that is a super group of forwards.

Canningesque goals from Cooney :clap:[/QUOTE]
Based on 4 minutes of hurling?
