Too many great days to remember like ourselves.

Shane OâNeill out for the Wexford match, McLoughlin and OâShea doubtful. Fuck knows what our backs will be now.
Now weâve randomly called up three young backs from East Cork. Such desperation.
More injuries, get outta that. Youâre making it very hard on TUM.
Who was called up?
Ciaran OâBrien (Killeagh), Colm Barry (Castlelyons) and Will Leahy (Aghada).
Youâd wonder what the likes of Burke, Kearney, Ryan etc are thinking. Theyâve barely got a look in and they are calling more lads up.
donât believe everything you hear or read such as Moylan and Coughlan having left the panel
what I do believe is the squad were told that training would dictate selection. Coughlan scored 1-8 from play in the last AvB game before Waterford and got no game time. Against defensive set ups like waterfords you need at least one player with some craft. But Cork thought they could bully their way through a physically better prepared Waterford half back/defensive set up.
It is true he left the panel, no matter how briefly. Moylan is known to have expressed disgust at his lack of opportunities and one or both got a call from San Fran about playing over.
Turenne - Leahy is fairly highly rated and Barry was impressive in 21 & club games, so I suppose thatâs something. But you are right about the other lads. The Aidan Ryan thing is a joke, I feel sorry for him. Kearney has potential IMO and if physically developed could play IC corner back. But of them all I think he has been the most flaâd in terms of opportunity.
Whats Oâ Brien like and whats his pedigree?
I could see McDonald going to town on Cork. Already shaky back there, confidence low, new men in. Iâd be hitting plenty diagonal ball in on top of McDonald.
Wexford had a chance to target Joey Holden on Sunday but rarely if ever hit anything into McDonald. Whether that was players or tactics, but it was crying out for players to target him, and our lads didnât.
seems a chance missed alright. Holden was good though was he?
Had fuck all to do. Nothing went near them so he wasnât tested at all. From a kk point of view it wasnât a good warm up that it could have been before he has to play Galway. Utterly dumb from Wexford tho. Your best player in a key position on a player in his first start for the opposition, and you donât target that.
Can you lads take this out of the Limerick v W. Meath thread please⌠before you tho, is Guiney gonna be back for Cork?
retarded.
Galway are the biggest hurling team I have ever seen. fucking massive. I know KK are physical, but soon Galway surely have to make that count.
Indeed, lads. I mentioned that on the Wexford thread the other night. You see the way Kilkenny under Cody have systematically targeted and exploited defenders down through the years. Holdenâs good enough so there was obviously no guarantee of success but it was his first championship start at full back, replacing an all time great. At least ask him a few questions ffs sake. Aside from tactical set up to begin with, the Wexford players themselves should be capable of better game intelligence themselves.

players these days have had the brains drilled out of them. Everything has to be spoon fed. Except with KK. Everyone else is copying them now and will catch up, but Iâve had an insight into KKâs underage coaching recently and its fucking a million years ahead of everyone. Proof that its not about development squads, its about whats done with those squads and whats fed out to the club coaches. Waterford are probably the best placed after KK in this regard.
They put movement before skill, thatâs vital, and then everything they do in every session has decision making elements. Its actually highly scientific and a lot of it comes from concepts like FUNdemental Movement in Oz & Canada. Every kid gets a chance to enjoy hurling as they improve your movement first. What turns a lot of kids off is their movement is poor so they struggle to pick up skills, then that erodes at confidence etc.
Its brilliant stuff. And Demspey is behind an awful lot of it.

what did guiney do?
The Clare GAA Games and Development Page had a piece in their coaching corner of Bookface last week by SeĂĄn Chaplin on Small Sided Games if someone who has access wants to fire it up perhaps.
What good will it to Teege here??
âŚdidnât you say that? Or you hinted at it heavily.
