Hurling Disgrace

[Fr. Turncoat]

amybody been on to the www.guinnesshurling. ie site for their team of legends.
it is very biased AGAINST cork, very few cork hurlers are choices.
something needs to be done about it, it's a disgrace.

[Fr. Turncoat]

17 choices for kilkenny and only SEVEN choices for CORK
LIKE FOR FUCK'S SAKE
I am banging off an email in complaint

i noticed that alright. tis a joke. but sure what do u expect from dubs!

[Langer Dan]

some joke alright. Classic Leinster shite.

right what fucked way have they got of including players?

We've no cork half forwards and no Midfielders.

No NiALL Mac, No Gerry O'Connor.

And we've no past cork players yet the likes of Jamsie O'connor and John Leahy are included. Was it a woman organised this travesty of a site or what??

who the fuck is niall fitz?? Jerry O connor should not be there as a midfielder yet either, he only been playing the position for about a year. overall i think the selection is about right, there are plenty of cork backs, only 2 forwards(imo ben is lucky to be considered). this poll will be hijacked by tipp, kilkenny and clare no marks anyway so i wouldn't be getting too upset about it

john leahy was a legend of a man and one of the best players of the last 30 years(arguably tipps best), so to say its a travesty that he's up for selection is crazy. you have to have jamesie there too.


my team was
fitzhenry
sherlock, lohan, willie o connor
sean og, corcoran, whelehan
baker, lynch
leahy, cooney, jamsie
eoin kelly, DJ, deano

breakdown is 4 cork, 4 clare, 2 kil, 2 offaly, 2 tipp 1 galway

it would be interesting to hear some others

this is my new line in any langer tom arguements.

example:

langer tom: sir alex is a tactical magician, just look at his record, you can't argue with it.

lamps: stop embarrasing yourself you buffoon.

langer tom: why don't you try to dispute my watertight assertion rather than trading insults. i come on here for reasoned sporting debate and all i get is this drivel.

lamps: who the fuck is niall fitz. checkmate

[Fat Tom]

Don't mind that - I couldn't be arsed looking for the year I was born so I just clicked 1993 or something.

Then I gets a message about being too young to view a site promoting alcoholic beverages, so I just go back and click another page.

Way to stop underage drinking Guiness you muppets

[Teknique]

Cant you remember where you wrote it down , no? :shock:

[Fat Tom]

It was a combo box, i just couldn't be arsed lookin.
Quite funny - you're too young to view site.

Switch year on combo box - welcome to Guiness how would you like to become an alcholic

[POL]

who the fcuk is Niall Fitz?

this site is only about the last 10 years,since guiness have started sponsoring the championship, yes? remember Cork circa 95-98 were shite and came out of nowhere to win in 99.Jamsie O Connor was the outstanding wing forward in the country from 95-98 and deserves his place in that list,as does Leahy,whatever you think about him as a man,some of his displays before he got seriously injured have lived with me for a long time,he was an outstanding hurler.

Perhaps instead of having a go at the leinster bias,we should take a step back and take off the red blinkers for a moment!

Remember the replay in Thurles 91? Best performance from a hurler I've ever seen

you must have confused it with the year you started watching soccer

[Fat Tom]

Coming from the guy whos first post is an anti United rant in january and then claims to be a Chelsea fan.

Wait there a second the bandwagon will be along soon.

[Lamps]

poor effort, 3/10

[Fat Tom]

Oh really who made you the judge on here.

[Langer Dan]

PS. Langer Dan, who the fuck is Niall Fitz??
Niall Mc obviously, a typo.

as for contending that Leahy deserves to be in there on the last 30 years. Then what about Gerr Cunningham, Kevin Hennessy, JBM. It's either a modern selection or not. A hodge podge mix of whoever popped in to the compilers head is not good enough.

to have sully ahead of Sherlock or O'Hailpin makes no sense on any level.

Leahy's in there on the last 10-15 years. It's a modern enough selection and he thoroughly deserves his place. If Niall Fitz/Mac turned out to be half the player Leahy was we'd be very lucky indeed. Leahy was still playing quality in the 90's.

Gerry O'Connor who you've argued for is also a superb player at present, but Legend, not yet, hopefully he will be. IMO they've a fair selection up there. Ben O'Connor is lucky enough to be in there too.

[ho chi feen]

Bump

[Loftydog]

Did Fitzy ever get his rightful place on that team?

[Out da Lough Like]

In Leinster, Guinness would have about 99% of the stout market, whereas in Cork they would be lucky to have 50%.


So the site is unrepresentative, and should be ignored.


There is only one statistic that really matters:


30

What the man said. Fuck the Leinster-sponsored "All Stars" and "Man of the Match" awards, and roll on the 3-in-a-row.

[Rebelred]

the thread that spawned a thousand others

[Johnnyc]

Where would be without Mr. Niall Fitz, he's a gent and a scholar, a fine judge of whiskey, a man of great personal charm, with no mean ability and the good looks to boot.

and he can hurl too.
