They are saying yesterday was one of the Greatest All Ireland’s but for drama was it any better than Cork v Kilkenny in 99’ when it finished 13 points to 12? Not sure if the abundance of scoring is a good thing personally. Definitely not the 100 yard frees becoming expected more than expectation these days!
Patience grasshopper.....we will save hurling yet and playing champagne cork hurling.....its coming...
There's just less of the hurling around the field. Firing balls over from long distances takes a lot out of it. More set pieces as the ball goes wide or over for a point, etc. Very rigid, very formulaic, there is just less play.......
I remember when a pointed 65 was seen as a great achievement.
Apart from the recent colour change has there been weight adjustments to the current sliother? I mean has it got lighter in the last 20/25 years? I’d agree that there are much more long range points happening in matches, Hegarty scored one yesterday from what seemed liked 90 yards out. I think it makes from great viewing but can see the issues with bypassing the forwards and just scoring from distance if you have the skill.
I can’t imagine how far Rockies legend John Blondie Horgan would be pucking it today.
Only worth it if you're getting the 12 month subscription?
County champs to kick off summer of live Cork GAA Championship broadcasts with the Irish Examiner

Irish Examiner will be a priced streaming model this year. I was disappointed at first when I saw the per game streaming cost but all in all not a bad deal when paying monthly. Hopefully they will show even more games this year. They will show 5 games across the first two weekends.
There will be an €8 pay-per-view charge per game this season for followers seeking one-time access, or you may prefer our sizzling summer subscription offer for the Irish Examiner’s entire suite of content – including daily ePaper, GAA live streams, podcasts and acclaimed sports writing – for a stunning €5 per month, or €50 for 12 months.
