The barbarian horde are frothing at the mouth at the thoughts of another roid fuelled bloodbath. Let them have it. And when mob clears out of Croke Park on Saturday evening and the dust settles as they prepare themselves for the biggest day of the sporting calendar the people of Kilkenny & Galway will go about their business with that unique sense of frenzied serenitity knowing that the events of the following day will make or break their year.

The sideshow is over, it’s time for the Main Event.

Did you have a bullet proof coffee this morning pal? That post needed real cognitive clarity to construct.

[Fran]

The emotion just overwhelmed me, I nearly burst into tears at the thoughts of it at one stage.

Is it me or is there a lack of build-up to this final. Very underwhelming. What can we do about it?

[Bandage]

I think that fucking football replay has fucked things up. It’s ruined the “build up” for me anyway.

I’d suggest not having the same finalist for 12 of the finals in the last 15 years who have won 10 of those, many by a country mile, would lead to an increased level of anticipation …

Start a thread?

[KinvarasPassion]

Its got so bad that If I got offered a ticket for saturdays game I’d nearly consider swapping at the this stage.

[ironmoth]

This is such an anti-climax.

[cluaindiuic]

Yeah we should be split into 2 teams North and South Kilkenny at this stage. And then 4 teams a few years after that. South South, South North, North North and North South. Catchy.

[Fitzy]

In which case we just move the semi’s and final to Nowlan Park and be done with it.

East/West racist…

Up For The Match has been moved to Friday to cover the Dublin-Mayo replay.

There will be no hurling Up For The Match this year.

We could just not allow Kilkenny to play their brand of hurling/ rugby with sticks and stop Brian Cody from hand picking his favourite refs.

[the_man_himself]

Tipp are box office, Tipp not being in the All Ireland has caused it to be low key

[Brimmer_Bradley]

True for you tmh. If Tipp were involved in the senior it’d be yourself, Harry, Mullagh, bandage and myself vs the rest of the board for the past week.
The Galway lads seem have given up already after their initial euphoria of a lucky win against us and having gone away to think about what’ll really happen on Sunday they’ve now come to the same conclusion as most reasonable pundits and the bookies and that they’ll only make up the numbers for the day.
I one way they’ve done more damage to hurling in one year than Brian Cody has in the past decade.

[tazdedub]

Thank goodness for small mercies.

[anon61956325]

So other lads have noticed the low key build up too?

[carryharry]

A waiting in the long grass build up, so to speak. KK must be shitting themselves.
