Leinster Hurling Thread *

Ah, the Nobel laureate is out of the scratcher, (speaking of disproportionately huge heads).

If Cummins is on tonight I wonder how many times he will say “causing wreck”?

Not in the scratcher yet mate, time zones appear to be another topic you are clueless on.

For what its worth:
Rachel is an excellent host compared to that utter gimp Lyster, basically a misogynist comment from you.
Shefflin is an utter simpleton, Loughnane only interested in appearing edgy, like his “Tipperary are finished” faux pax.
Canning, JJ, and Jamsie actually add value, unlike the assorted clowns on RTE
Tyrone can appoint whoever they like as a manager, they don’t have to bow to public opinion outside their county, whereas RTE are somewhat constrained by national public opinion, who pay their wages.
Interesting that you find advocating for a child rapist “courageous”.

Sky’s coverage shits all over RTE.

Basically you are demonstrating your own misogyny by mentioning it.

The segment they did on the POC redevelopment today with JJ was excellent. Mick Fennelly also a great addition. At least they freshen it up.

You are the one who said she could “barely read an autocue”, when she is clearly much smarter than you.

Your comment about the child rapist shows that a nuanced discussion is beyond you, so I’ll leave it at that.

Brian Carthy was bleating away on radio 1 too. :roll_eyes:

If you feel like I’m missing something, please explain why it took “courage” to advocate for a lighter sentence for the convicted child sex offender Tom Humphries.

The big issue with Davy’s set up is that it only really works against teams if a similar or lesser standard. It also robs his side of any real goal threat and doesn’t really solidify the back line against quality teams.

You will do well to score 1-18/1-19 most days out with it when most sides are hitting 25 points or more more often than not.

That’s it in a footshell.

Rachel Wyse is a shite presenter. This has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with the fact she is a shite presenter.

She talks ponderously and hesitantly, can only work off pre-prepared questions, has zero charisma and knows fook all about the games.

+1. Ideal for reading the autocue on Sky Sports News for the other 9 months of the year, but terrible at presenting live GGA.

To be fair, in depth knowledge of the games is not a pre-requisite for a presenter, but curiosity, a willingness to learn and genuine enthusiasm is.

They could have drafted in Natalie Sawyer or Kirsty Gallacher and I bet they’d have made a much better job of it.

They’d have been enthusiastic, for a start.

BBC used Mark Robson and Jackie Fullerton to present GAA back in the 90s - neither came from a GAA background but both did an excellent, professional job.

I decided to stay overnight as I was too distraught to drive to Dublin. And my driver theory book said never, ever drive when you’re angry or emotionally volatile. I’m starting to come around now after an al fresco continental breakfast in the sunny south east sunshine. That said, it will be very bitter sweet to win an All Ireland after losing two games and without even appearing in our provincial final.

Anyone able to validate the rumours that Wexford had a heavy training session yesterday morning?

Yes.

It might seem like mainly filler, or common sense, and you might feel stupid reading it questioning to yourself whether a ‘real’ driver would bother, but it occasionally throws up a nugget of advice that stops you in your tracks, and makes you realise this is advice not just for behind the wheel, but on the drive of life
