Lot of rattledness this week for some reason.
Here Link, any truth in the rumour that Cody letâs Tommy Walsh out of the boot of his car jjust before throw in of the training match but leaves the gimp mask on him?

Link has a good few of them on the ropes here alright.
Itâs great the way he just toys with them. Never really delivers the killer blow. Itâs almost as if he likes to watch them suffer, prolongs the agony
I said shake, rattle and rollâŚ
:lol: good to have you back wellboy
Keep a ear on liveline over the next hour and youâll hear plenty from me, Joe has promised me a slot, here in the tower hotel enjoying the Craic,
I attend Kilkenny Senior training at Nowlan Park as id often do at this time of the Year,its 15 miles from my house to the ground but ya wouldnt feel the spin in,mesef and the brother arrived at around ten to Eight and found a parking space a little bit away from the ground,there was a big crowd there lat night with the nice evening,around 2000-2500 people id say myself,the old stand was nearly full and the seated uuncovered area alongside was almost full aswell.They start off with a lttle bit of pucking around followed by a few drills and a bit of a chat,they set out the teams a little differently every night but last night had the 1st choice forwards marking the 1st choice backs,tellingly Aidan Fogarty hurled corner forward marking John Dalton while Martin Comerford picked up a few different positions down at the subs end where he was in sparkling form,it still looks like Fogarty,who looked sharp himself seems to be in the driving seat to start ahead of Comerford against Cork.
The game itself was hurled at its usual fierce pace,reffed by Cody who i think blew two frees in the whole 55 minutes or so that they hurled last night,hed never blow for steps at all,you could take ten or eleven and get way with it,hes happy to let the hassling,tackling and hunting in packs to get the ball off a fella pass on peacefully,on matchdays Kilkenny players are rarely blown for overcarrying at the same time.Lineballs are non existant too,Dalton and Fogarty in particular had one tussle whilst lying on the perimeter fence last night before somebody emerged and hit the ball across field,these things almost go unnoticed they are so commonplace,its probably to do with a mixture of Cody not wanting to disrupt play and letting tight play develop where fellas will get serious hardship to win the ball,manys a fairly wild pull is let go during these proceedings aswell.Defences were very much on top last night with the full back line of Dalton,Hickey and Kavanagh totally dominating Eddie Brennan,Richie Power and Fogarty,FOgarty did get a good few scores from good ball in but Power and Eddie Brennan didnt get a look at it,Jackie Tyrell was watching but not togged out,the word was that he had a flu but Michael Kavanagh was excellent in his corner last night,its tough on Kavanagh,bar injury hes very unlikely to get a run this Year but looks to still have what it takes.Tommy Walsh and JJ werent overly killing themselves dominating but did a fair bit,Tennyson,who looked very lean and fit went off with an apparent knee injury late on,hopefully hes just minding himself .Derek Lyng cut a frustrated looking figure when coming off with a recurring ankle problem which he picked up at training last Week,he was visibly annoyed when going down the tunnel with Physio Robbie Lodge who is one of three Physios that were on duty last night.Fennelly and Cha Fitzpatrick were in flying form last night too,Cha is likely to start the semi final with RIce almost definitely out for the Cork game with a wrist injury.
All in all i saw nothing at Nowlan Park last night to suggest that Kilkenny will lose a game in this Years championship,everyone seems as focussed as usual and standards dont look to be slipping one bit,i left early last night so didnt watch the running after the match,that usually takes half an hour or so,everybody bar fellas feeling little strains etc participate in the running.
THe word all over Kilkenny all day Yesterday is that Tennyson will be out for the rest of the Year with a Serious knee injury,i havent heard this confirmed officially yet though,he jogged off the pitch the other night after getting injured,he didnt look too bad then but the word is not good.
