Official 2012 All Ireland Hurling Championship Thread

These two manager interviews were hilarious.

Tony Browne that tuned into the game that heā€™s wearing his helmet in the dugout :smiley:

'Hon Clare and Conor McGrath.

Is there 12k there?

Poor stuff so far, the basics (handling and picking) seem very poor from both sides?

Waterford shorts a bit tight?

Michael Ryan has brought them back to basics, small shorts and batinā€™ tyres

Awful call by the ref for the penalty. The.linos or the umpires didnā€™t see fit to advise him!

How did the ref miss Kelly pulling Dillons helmet back? He was looking straight at it yet gives the penalty? Dreadful but I suppose its another few bob for Kelly with his customary bet paying off.

The Clare keeper should have been stronger and more decisive there.

Mullane getting through plenty of good work in a deeper position than usual.

Shocking decision for the penalty, but Cian DIllon, while a player I would have a lot of time for has been caught out badly twice now for both goals.

Nice goal from Puke there

Good goal, but again waterford should have had that cleared.

Hon John Conlon :clap:

Clare will win this pulling up if they stay in touch early in the second half. The nerves will be gone by the second half and their superior fitness will tell.

Half Time: Waterford 2-8 Clare 1-9.

John Conlon carrying the fight for Clare.

Clare fitness v Waterford hurling is what is what this comes down to.

ā€œIā€™ve got two All Irelands, youā€™ve got fuck allā€

Very classy Davy you ignorant cunt.

Heā€™s a fair pikey. Was it to the linesman or one of the Waherfurh lads

Linesman I think.
