Iād have to agree. I donāt believe it.
Looking around it seems to be coming from a few sources and all pointing to the one WD player as the utterer.
Who?
The number 4 is the player being pointed out
Not wishing to be a felon setter if he didnāt say it but all point to the same defender by jersey number.
They went nuclear at half time yesterday, brought on the cavalry and manned up to a man. They were never getting it back, but they were drawing a line. Theyāll be like raging bulls come Championship.

Was more interesting that cork withstood it fairly comfortably, but limerickās problem, other than the usual filth, was simple rustiness. Easily fixed this year.
You do just wonder whether acting the Hatton may not catch up eventually. Their other problem is that, like Galway, there is more to be at than Hurling.

I bumped into one of the (unused) players on my lunch break today. He said the abuse thrown at Austin from the crowd was disgraceful. And then as soon as the final whistle went they all ran down to him looking for autographs.

I missed your morning post. You must have been out late with the celebrations.

Austin is a gent and a credit to the Association.
It got fairly heated at one stage in the 2nd half alright. Bit of a schemozzle after which Austin stood over a free inside our 45 on the sideline to an absolute cacophony of boos and shouting. No bother to him, bisected the posts and toddled back to his position on the 40.
During the same passage I had words with an Antrim chap on the bank who decided all the Waterford players were scumbags. In fairness a few locals around told him to shut up aswell.
All in all though it was a very enjoyable trip. Jesus Belfast is hopping. Arrived up 12 Saturday and from that time on every pub was packed.
Off up The Falls then Sunday morning for a few before the match and we couldnāt have been received any better in The Rock. My brother arrived a little after us having been waylaid at the AGM of some residents association down the road. Heād been on the lookout for an early pint and noticed lads heading into a pub. Rocked up,
āAre you a member sir?ā.
"Nope just looking for a bottle "
āGrand, the bar is through thereā
Before he knew it the top table was set up and he had the Financial Statements in his hand. The good news is theyāre in a sound financial position, but have a bit of an HMRC issue.
The setup in Corrigan Park is fantastic. Tight compact ground so youāre right on top of the action. Lovely clubhouse which was well apprecited at half time and afterwards.
Iād certainly recommend a trip.

Me too. I didnāt do any of the drinking but the ground and the crowd were great. Proper old school NHL game. Plenty of bite in it. Wouldnāt fault the Antrim crowd at all. Getting the blood up should be a part of watching any hurling match. Austin has grown up a bit and is well able for the bit of aggro from the crowd now.

Ah yeah, certainly had no issue with the crowd. To be fair I think their ire was directed more so at the ref than Austin. Weāve all been there.
Bisected
I hope.
