That’s true. The one that really got away though was 1998. We had no mental hangups about Offaly whatsoever.
Yes. Very true. Ye would have beaten Offaly.
I doubt Waterford would have beaten Kilkenny in 2002 AIF, had they made that day. But I would be fairly certain Waterford would have won at least one title between 2003 and 2006 had they that putative experience in 2002 at their back.
Pity. They were plenty good enough to win one or two. The Cork team that won two in a row had plenty of flaws.

If you were making the perfect hurler with attributes from all kinds, you’d definitely be taking the wrists of Bubbles.

The goal in the 2016 AIF is iconic. One of my favourite players to watch

When he was Bubbling, there was no finer sight in the game.
His record in All Ireland Finals was unreal.

Not just what he scored but how he scored it.
And btw that free that Hawkeye ruled out was a point too.

It was but you have to respect how Tipperary folk don’t go on about it.
No it wasn’t

By fuck it wasn’t, I was sat in the lower Davin that day right in line with it and it went at least a foot wide.

Ken Hogan the fucker was in front of me. He was on the water/ hurleys that day. He jumped up as it was going towards the posts, thinking it was over. I knew straight away it wasn’t. It was fierce close though.
I think if Hawkeye wasn’t there, it would have been given. The technology was right on this occasion.
He had good wrists but no one had wrists like Tommy Dunne. No one
I was on for a fortune of money, stupid Hawkeye cunts
Don’t mind your fucking fortune you degenerate. Imagine beating those cunts with the last puck of the ball and them going on about a soft free for the next decade? It would have been glorious

It didn’t take long for the stripey lads to circle the wagons here.

We were done out of two All Ireland’s by brown envelopes in 2009 and 2014.
Dickie Murphy was fiddling with the controls above in the Nally Stand in 2014 and Kirwan was being Kirwan in 2009.
But look we move on. Whenever our players weren’t drinking, fighting or going off with each others girlfriends between 2009 and 2019, we’d generally beat some of those very good Kilkenny teams by somewhere in the region of 8-15 points.
