No he was overage last year. was a sub in 2009 though. had a serious campaign overall. his two goals over the weekend were top class, especially the one in the semi final
:o , Declan refusing to respond to an enquiry from admin, shocking lack of respect!!!
His club is Clonoulty-Rossmore, Bandage, I’m sure Declan has seen alot more of him than me but there is no shortage of forwards like him in Tipperary, he probably deserves a chance however.
Lack of respect towards the wexican admin? any man who watches Seacht automatically gains a lot of respect from me…
As you said Mullach, he deserves his chance. what i will say about him is in the last 2 years he’s improved an awful lot where he is now capable of winning his own ball and give him a sniff of a chance, 95% of the time he will take it. pace could be an issue for him but if there is one man who will try improve any deficiencies in his game its hammersley. he is probably the most dedicated club/county player ive ever seen. hes more or less a pro hurler in his preparation… i say good luck to him.
Tipp footballers - UNREAL 
Results so far this weekend
County Senior Football Championship Round 2
Moyle Rovers 1-15 Arravale Rovers 2-07
Cahir 2-08 Galtee Rovers 1-07
SOUTH GLANBIA SENIOR HURLING RD 3
Ballybacon-Grange 1-13 Ballingarry 0-12
Great win for Cahir over Bansha last night. got the 2nd goal in injury time. Means Bansha have to win the West to get back into the county.
I see young Booger O’Meara has had his yellow against Cork upgraded to a red, fairly harsh call
Harsh indeed. The talk in Wexico is that James Owens was slaughtered by his assessor after his handling of the Galway-Cork League Final and that Sexton’s handling of Galway-Wexford is the template referees should be following. That also follows from Diarmuid Kirwan allowing Tipp and Kilkenny go at it in the All Ireland final last year too. So the most two recent national finals were enhanced by referees letting the game flow but the authorities are clamping down on it all the same. God help us all in that case. If the Smith and Lyng challenges were worthy of red cards then O’Meara’s was of a similar vein. But a yellow would have been sufficient in all instances. Brian Cody and The Link Walsh will be seething that ‘the manliness is going out of hurling’.
I think they have brought in a new law that all frontal charges are now a red card offense…Thought Smith’s was fairly cynical all the same and no harm in getting that shite out of the game but O’Meara and Lyng can feel hard done by
Carrick Derby
Swan 2-16 Davins 1-17. Meant to be a cracker with a massive crowd in attendance. Not an ounce of trouble either.
Re: Buggys card being upgraded. an absolute joke. Seems to me that Kelly is backing up the ref from Gal-Wex fuck up the night before.While also admitting he made a fuck up! the Gaa are going down a dodgy road here. Will Trev Mortimors frontal charge from last night be re-visited, or as i type this Michael Shields slap back on Dec Sullivan? What about Kennellys in the All Ireland last year? I dont believe Buggys tackle was intentional nor was lyngs. You could argue that Aisake performed numorous ‘frontal charges’ last sunday but he had the ball in hand. The ref’s Assessors tryin to justify their existence :rolleyes:
This is a snapshot of all my worst fears about those who ‘run’ the game. Their Orwellian approach will strangle the life right out of hurling. John Sexton Wexico V Gaillimh as a template? :o That game could have been great with even a half copped-on ref.
Say it ain’t so Joe, Ah Joe, say it ain’t so.
Joe Brolly was saying on RTE Radio yesterday that he had been speaking with a young ref who had attended a refs conference the previous weekend. The ref said that they were explicitly told not to use their common sense in any case if they weren’t sure and to use the rules to the letter of the law or something like that. The ref in Killarney was a joke yesterday and Sexton was terrible the week before.
I’ve said similar here before. Ref’s are cunts, the assessors and the people who run the ref’s are even bigger cunts.
Its embarrassing to be at these meetings, i’ll never go back. There is this its us against the world attitude, anjd whatever you do don’t listen to anybody else who was at the match, listen to the ref assessor.
They are the poison of the GAA.
Sexton was always a shit ref and a smug cunt to boot.
you know him personally?
Who?
Burgess are poxy CUNTS!!! 
Any reason for this? or is it in general? enlighten us Nod.
Burgess wanted to rename their pitch bobby sands memorial park, so they are alright sorts in my book…
wha ya on about?? why would burgess name there field bobby sands memorial park??
This is going back nearly 30 years ago when they opened the field, they wanted to name it after Bobby Sands but for whatever reason weren’t allowed/didn’t go through with it
