Conor McGrath picking up where he left off in September. Himself and OâConnor have been the best two players on the pitch
I expect a huge year from him in 2014. 1-08 to 7 points now, fine point by the younger Walsh
John Jo 
where the fuck do we get all these cackhanded hurlers
Henry gotz mad dance skillz
Kilkenny really upped in the last 10 mins, should have had 2 goals, nothing to show for it though
Jaysus Christ Wally 
Gavin can not manage a throw in.
Dublin getting their arses handed to them.
All Kilkenny for the last 10 minutes. Pitch is heavy but it is being very well contested
That kind of thing is not manly.
This KK team will never go away.
Real men can dance pal.
Not too bad at all so far. Soft goal apart, the new look back line have done alright for themselves. Kennedy looks nice and tidy in the corner, Joey Holden going well and Lester holding his own in the centre.
Good to see Cillian Buckley back to full tilt again. Fennelly went missing for a good portion of the half, Larkin not up to much.
Henry is grand, Wally is competing but his end product is severely lacking. Farrell and Kelly wonât be troubling the championship 15.
Dublin started well and went into a 0-2 to 0-0 lead, and it was certainly a sign of what was to follow.
Half-time score: Galway 0-16 Dublin 0-6.
Very enjoyable match so far. Kilkenny could/should have buried a couple of goals towards the end of the half. Walsh had an open goal to aim for!
Clare are a fantastic team and will go on to win more All-Irelands.
Bugler is one of the most dislikeable players I have ever seen though. Fist pumping when he wins a sideline, constantly moaning at the ref, moaning at the linesmen, moaning at the umpires, shouldering lads in the back when there is any scuffle, roaring in lads faces after they hit a wide, dishing out sneaky little digs after the whistle has gone etc. Heâs an excellent player (even if Shefflin is giving him trouble today) so thereâs no need for him to act the cunt.
Calling that a dance is being very charitable.
Pat OâConnor outstanding so far. Bugler should get one more ball to show he can deal with Shefflin and if he canât they need to switch. Golden disappointing.

I heard McGrathâs hip was injured since 2011 but he left the surgery off because he knew heâd be captain of the 2012 21âs.
His performance in september was probably him just getting back to normal. He scored 5 or 6 from play against crusheen aswell a couple of weeks later.

Yeah agree with all of that. Given the inexperience in parts of our team I was just hoping to be competitive and hard working and thatâs pretty much what weâve done. Couple of stupid frees to give away in scoring positions but all in all Iâm happy enough with that half. Kennedy doing very well. Hilarious miss from Walter. Larkin needs to be smarter with his rise. Weak and one handed doesnât really work on this heavy a pitch. Jackie is on.
Stick to strictly Sid. Our freestylings are beyond you.
Impressed by that Kennedy lad at corner back, Kilkenny seem to have a conveyor belt in that position over the years - Michael Kavanagh, Tyrell, Paul Murphy etc.
