Official 2012 All Ireland Hurling Championship Thread

Not really like. That wouldn’t hurt a fraction as much as if the lad had turned the blade sideways and gone for ribs or knees or head.
Then you could really do damage. Assuming they were scummers out to do maximum damage they kind of failed miserably.

Galway 2-16 Clare 0-22

Challenge game played last night. No idea about who lined out or what type of game it was… All I know is we picked up 3 injuries, Canning - Shoulder (worryingly), Collins - Ankle, Daly - No Idea.

Any body know any more?

TAN informed me yesterday that there were a ciuple of challenge matches taking place against Galway, hopefully he will have more details

it has always amazed me how ferociously drunk people can be surrounded by danger yet sail through unscathed, whether it be staggering across a busy intersection without looking left or right or making their way down steep stairs or whatever. with this in mind the gent with the lidl back pivoting slowly in the middle of the street fascinates me. i imagine if you asked him what he thought of the fight he might just respond wha foigh bud?

[quote=“Bandage, post: 682674”]Anyone watch the video of the boys on Henry Street getting great use out of their hurls yesterday evening? Dublin hurling has really taken off - hard to see them not winning it.

Daly will have his work cut out to correct the grip from that Left Hand On Top crack

Some shower of knacks

Hiney back, wow

Looks strong with Hiney and Keaney back. Get McCrabbe and Ryan O’Dwyer back into that te and they could have a proper cut off KK yet …

Where is Dotsy?

Surprised to see Hiney in the starting line-up. Wouldn’t have seen McCormack as a starter if they’d a full hand either. Strong team on paper though. Will be interesting to see how sharp they are.

Bench.

Laois have a sub with a rasta / dreadlock style pony tail. Respect to the main man.

Two goals for Rushe already.

3-10 to 1-1. Coming up to half-time.

3-14 to 1-1 HT :strokechin:

Impressive from the Dubs by any standards. Were 14/1 in AI betting this morning. Wonder if this will move them.

Poor Laois…

Rushe lording it full forward. Naive stuff by the Laois backs following Dublin up the pitch and leaving oceans of space inside.

Doubt it, didn’t Laois concede 10-20 to Cok last year? Cork ffs!

True. Was only 3-9 to 1-8 at h-t in that game though. 17 scores to 2 is more impressive.
