You’re floating like a turd and definitely not stinging like a nettle
We don’t use septic tanks where I come from
Country folk must be well used to the smell of shit sticking around
Us Dubs prefer to get rid of it immediately
I like a clean water supply
It’s a testimony to how great the Galway team of 87-90 were that neither Cork nor Tipp could beat them without the help of refs/umpires/suits.
Couldn’t disagree with that.
Tipperary were cheated in 1987 when Nicholas English had a perfectly good point disallowed straight after Pat Fox had put them a point up with a great goal
Tony Keady broke the rules and was punished
Martin Naughton drove a shot wide from point blank range in 1990 - contrary to popular belief Ger Cunningham sustained a facial injury not from Naughton’s shot but when he tried to gouge his eye out after seeing Gerry McInerney’s white boots
Also Offaly had a perfectly good goal disallowed in the 1985 final
Thanks for making my point.
Still believe Hillary Clinton won in 2016?
You’ve lost me here
I think you’ve lost yourself
A bit like Galway in finals against Cork
Any time you want, I will limn why, technically and spiritually, you are such a terrible writer – simply as a writer.
I do not mind giving anyone pointers. I have not forgotten the Mrs Keady fiasco.
For starters, in semantic terms, you have an awful bother as regards pretending the repetition of morphemes constitutes comprehension.
I hope you don’t mind me pointing this out but that is terrible writing
Watching endless videos of Susie Dent does not a writer make
I hope the thought of having Dent on doesn’t give poor @anon7035031 nightmares abut the 1989 All-Ireland semi-final
TFK is a wonderful place at times, I learned two new words there in short order.
Now that you’ve learned the meaning of “comprehension”, start using it
I bear you no ill will. I save all that stuff for the polluters of rivers.
But, really, you do not have a clue.
I don’t believe Dent had much bearing on the 89 outcome, but the absence of Keady certainly had. Your reference to GAA rules is perhaps your best joke on here, a Tipp player played in the SF against Galway who played “illegally” in the same game in NY as Keady.
Some people get very annoyed because others lampoon old stick stick
Lighten up, bud, it’s only the internet - sorry - the INTERNET, as it must be referred to on niche forums with a loose focus on stick stick
Woe betide but I end up like poor old Mulcair
Denton
Yeah but that was Paul Delaney and him playing evened things up because he was crap
Still, you should shop him out - you’re well placed to do so over there - maybe you could still get the result overturned even at this late stage
He will always be Dent to me. Once again you out yourself, this actually required no effort on my behalf.
Paul Delaney was a superb hurler, one of the best on that very good Tipp team. I don’t need to “shop him out”, he was dropped off the panel for the final so Antrim could not be awarded the game retrospectively.
I’m not sure how I could “out myself” on a mystery matter when you’ve just admitted you were making a private joke to yourself, which nobody else except yourself gets
It’s very coincidental that your imaginary nickname for the referee of a hurling game 30 years ago just happens to be the same name as the Countdown lexicographer
Quite the conundrum
I wasn’t talking about the final as you well know
Delaney lasted about three seasons on that Tipperary team
It must have been quite the irony for Galway folk that Keady’s replacement bore the same name as one of Tipperary’s greatest folk heroes and was also their best player on the day
If a few more established Galway players had showed the same attitude instead of acting like petulant children, who knows, maybe they would have won
Alas, they didn’t because they displayed the same pathologens that have bedivilled Galway hurling since the beginning of time - fear of winning and excuse making
Maybe while you’re trying to get the result of the 1989 semi-final overturned you could try getting the result of the 1983 All-Ireland football final overturned too
See how it goes anyway
Galway weren’t the defiant baker’s dozen in '89 anyway, more like they went down meekly yet petulantly to their fate
This is a hurling thread, so please keep the lesser sport out of it. For all our frailties Galway have won 4 All Irelands in my lifetime, you have to go back to before WWII to find Dublin’s last win, and even then you were dependent on players from outside Dublin. That my good e-friend is the source of your hatred for hurling, you are, and always have been pure muck at it.
And you’re welcome for the sage hurling advice, you’ve (hopefully) learned more in the past half hour than you knew up to now.
Very weak response
You say the thread is about hurling yet some posts back you wanted it to be about Hillary Clinton
Weird
Also you’ve displayed zero knowledge of hurling here which isn’t surprising given you haven’t lived in Ireland for a time period which from what I can gather from your posting history is likely longer than my entire lifetime
I’ve played in Croke Park which is a damn sight more than you can say
Camogie? I thought we already agreed that biological men playing women’s sports is unfair competition.
You seem very intent on emulating the petulant and childish behaviour of Galway players in the 1989 All-Ireland semi-final
Also your transphobia and misogyny, both of which you displayed in your post, are not welcome here, you weirdo
Though if one was to be smart about it and throw your guff back at you one could say that Galway hurling has provided many examples of teams of biological women playing men’s sport
We need a strong and principled referee like John Denton to blow the whistle on your bullshit
