Wooly will be crying here in a minute at the injustices in the Tyrone game.

He also blew @caoimhaoin out of the water by saying that the players are intelligent enough to change the game plan as they see the need as the game unfolds. You can get a good insight into these games by listening to the fellas that actually play them. You should try it some time.

Hogan was spot on, good interview.

He recommended playing a championship based on two groups of 6 and then semis or a final. Why couldn’t the Munster and Leinster championships be played off in a month or 5 weeks and used to seed his proposed championship format.

He would say that though. Maybe he is right but most teams and players struggle with it especially when under the cosh

Limerick - revert to hip and whip.

Have whoever is challenging for the Liam McCarthy thrown into a pot and divide from there. The two division winners get seeded from there on out.
Bottom two teams play a relegation match/bottom two teams are relegated.

We’ve done this every other year on here… would ye fuck off and write a letter to the powers that be and not clog this place up for the next 5 days ---- Champions League format will be rolled out any minute now… just wait…

He is able to do it. And in fairness die to comprehensive coaching over a lengthy period KillKenny produce a abnormal amount of guys like this. Kerry the same in football.

But that doesn’t make my point any less true in general.

Between mouthing off on the radio and posting up pictures of his blisters Hogan will be se t the way of Charlie Carter.

Going back to the original point about Waterford, surely it would be easy enough for them ( any team) to revert to a more orthodox and natural set up. It surely takes more awareness in the heat of battle to maintain something of a defensive set up such as Waterfords rather than hold the positions you’ve been taught since you learned to hold a hurl. Maybe not just seems more natural to me.

No fear, Cody has a few trusted liutenants on that team, Hogan would be one of those. You won’t hear Wally or Cillian Buckley on off the ball anytime soon.

Aye. He is behaving like an individual. That carry on won’t be tolerated.

It’s all about what they practiced repeatidly for the last 8 months really.

Why would they do it? I don’t get why guys are suggesting Waterford should have reverted to a traditional set up. It makes no sense.

Buckley is regularly put out for interviews or press days. He’s been doing them since surprisingly early in his career. Cody must trust him too

Because they do 't understand how damaging doing things like that are

Maybe damaging, but just plain nonsensical on the day too.

Seriously?

Seriously?
