Is that one of those twee Christy O’Connor anecdote pieces?

Were Galway and Kilkenny people aware that they were planning on letting heifers out to graze on the pitch on Saturday before this replay was confirmed?

Disgraceful behaviour, lying straight out like that to a youngster.

Joe Canning is no longer a youngster.

Oh, you meant JJ Delaney.

“There is no point in being here if you don’t believe you are good
enough to win the All-Ireland. If someone says at the start of the year,
‘what’s your ambition?’ For us, it is always the All-Ireland. So if you
are still in the competition on July 7, for me it is the same as
January 1. We had gone quite close. There was only three in it in the
62nd minute. So for us…they are fine lines.

While these stats are interesting and no doubt are taken into consideration by Cody and the backroom team, this little clip of Cody talking about what he feels is most inportant I think is interesting. It gives a good insight into what he wants, especially from his half backs.

I didn’t watch it, but I assume that spurrit is the big thing.

You should watch it, I was stunned. White boots and quare haircuts are the things that you need. Along with a phenomenal ability to big up the opposition.

Of course they weren’t.

Not with the bookies, but plenty of pundits / ‘experts’ were tipping Cork.

Cork were bookies’ favourites against Galway, as far as I recall. @Mac please confirm.

They were 4/6 from what I recall

Agree. I remember saying it was madness at the time based on results this far in the championship. However, the forum’s premier analyst @bigmickmccarthy informed me that the sheer intensity of Cork’s game against the saviours of hurling was so far beyond anything Galway had shown that it overshadowed any other considerations, like how shite both Cork and Clare were, which I also pointed out.
