OāNeill came on pretty early the last day which would suggest heās ready to go. DOD only came on at 66 minutes so itād be more of a jump to be starting him. Likely to be meeting cork again so probably good to keep the options of those changes in the bag for down the line.
Peter Casey had a minor hamstring issue. Iād say thereās some chance he features this weekend.
Letās be honest, the Cork style is both more entertaining and far more in the tradition and spirit of the sport.
TBF ye did ruin it in the first place.
Ah the Kilkennys and the Limericks were the ones to popularise the triangles, rectangles, hexagons and so on.
Gway ta fuck with yer Newtownshandrum tippy tappy bullshit.
Davyās Diamond has come and gone.
No less a man than Landers told the tippy tappy merchants that they had ruined hurling.
Lookit each to their own. Ireland had great success under Jack Charlton langering the ball up the field as far as possible. Cork have copied that model and itās bearing results.
Langerball I call it.
Things going well in Corrigan Park at the moment.
Corbett penalty has just put us 10 points up early in the second half.
Down to 14 now but still 10 up
11 up now.
Goal for Antrim.
Great win for them. Free crack off Westmeath now and guaranteed second
Yeah, Westmeath must be up there as the outright favourites so be good to get a feel where we lie compared to them.
Team looks to be getting stronger as the year goes on too, although not sure if Barry Coleman is injured.
Coleman is injured Iām told.
Have the venues been decided for the neutral round?
Portlaoise would look the most likely.
Not yet, I donāt think but, yeah, Portlaoise would seem obvious.
Only thing potentially against it would be if there are other matches that could be on there.
I think Portlaoise would suit everyone
Iād nearly go myself
