Only the 2022 National Hurling League? Only the Allianz 2022 National Hurling League

He got a couple of frees today because he is Pat Horgan, I think he is done too as a top level player but was worth his place today

I saw that, beaten to 50/50 ball and then wrestled. Ref blew.

I think he’d be better off at 11, drifting off centre backs and picking scores, he aint winning 50/50s

Liam Gordon made some very odd calls especially the one for Currans goal that he called back and gave a free.

That Car Part Daly chap had some game. What’s his story? I don’t follow children’s, parochial or educational establishment hurling, and limit the amount of gaeilge coverage games I watch, so I’d never heard of him before last week. I didn’t pay much attention to the pandemic championships either so not sure if he’s featured for them before this season? An absolute Veulta d’Espana of a display in midfield. Caused wreck going forward and put in a shit load of tackles and defensive work too. Really fast too. Looked like his calves had cramped up when he was forced off so don’t think there should be any fitness issues.

You could have said all that in 4/5 words you prick.

Younger brother of Iarflaith. Product of the famed CBC Cork hurling nursery. One of the noted Daly hurling clan from Lismore and if that wasn’t enough his mother is a Stakelum from Tipperary. It would have been more remarkable if he hadn’t been a hurler.

Eye opening. Fair play to Waterford. Comfortably the better team and are a serious, serious outfit this year. By a distance the best placed team to take down Limerick.

So many steps back tonight. Waterford just ran through us with absolute ease.

What the fuck were the management doing with Joyce that close to fucking goal. Had no influence on the game from the corner.

We don’t have the same workrate that Waterford do. A running game between both sides with a warzone in the middle third is only going to suit the more physical, more imposing, and harder working team. Their link play was also much better than ours.

We didnt go direct nearly enough. Too mang times lads running to goal had to turn the head to maintain the ball. Connolly was playing 30 yeards out from goal for fuck sake and nothing hit into him.

Was in God’s Stadium tonight.

Thought it was an average enough game. The cold weather probably didnt help.

Dessie floating round the half forward line looked like Cahill not showing his full hand. I actually think Waterford have a lot of room for improvement. Their hurling wasnt great at times and the ball going into the forward line in the first half especially was fairly shit.

Cork are tremendous fun all the same. They are a parody of themselves living up to their soft centre reputation.

Well in relation to this thread and this years league Limerick were garbage.

Liam did that just to fuck with you

What was to be gained from going all out? Whether they’ve gone about it right remains to be seen.

I’d agree with you. I didn’t think we played especially well and some of our lads were well under par. The fact that we could get goals whenever we wanted was great but you’d be innocent enough to think we’ll be doing that against the likes of Limerick or Clare later in Munster or Galway or Kilkenny later in the year if we got that far. Cork play a bizarre owl game. Slow short puck outs, loopy fucking passes with the stick or the hand and never going for goals. Eight points down with 5 minutes to go and taking wild pots for points from 90 yards.

One observation. Timing a game to start twenty minutes before sunset with the sun setting straight down the field is nuts and fair to no-one.

One other point. If I was Liam Cahill I’d be driving out to Dunmore in the morning and asking Soki what would it take for him to come back into the set up. We won’t win an All Ireland with either of the current keepers.

Have you an issue with native Irish names?

They haven’t the wrists for a slick short game, they should ditch it.

Jesus that’s some assassination of a comment.

Cahill has done a seriois job woth Waterford. They were awful in 2’18 and 2’19. There were signs in 19 when they got to the league final of a good team. A bit of mental metal about them now along with silverware

I didn’t think the lad in goal for Waterford did much wrong. A lot better than the lad at the other end anyway

And fellas roaring to get rid of Nash
