The Hurling Thread

Maybe Pat Ryan should emphasize gym and bulking up! Evidently, the Pairc renovation obscured fitness conditioning in the last while. The Limerick players conditioning hasn’t occurred by accident, as JP’s money has ensured best of facilities. Alan Connolly bulked up a lot last year… his team mates need to follow suit. We won’t challenge Limerick until we can surpass them physically!
Are you getting paid by the word?
 
Various Tyrone pundits have questioned why Nicholas Murphy didn’t lie down and get Tadhg Kennelly sent off, after the elbow he got at the beginning of 2009 final. Nicholas got up straight away and played on, but Tadhg played a proverbial blunder that day, and was instrumental in the Kerry win. Mickey Harte,and Brian Cody knew how to rattle teams and stop them playing!
He shouldn’t have had to go down. That challenge was appalling. Straight red regardless it was in the first few seconds. He never even got a yellow for it.

Game is alright. Football is so mundane to watch after the hurling.

He got a yellow.

He should have been sent off.

The thick c*nt even wrote in his buke a few years later that it was premeditated. What an idiot.
 
Referees feared Cody and feared been singled out by pundits for trying to turn the game "soft"

Eddie Keher, Nicky Brennan and Cody himself regularly used interviews to bemoan the "state" of officiating. Bizarrely you had Micheal Duignean then on the Sunday game lapping up this Kilkenny manliness stuff. Cyril Farrell the same. Fair play to Cody because he played the media and the GAA like a fiddle in bending them to his agenda. Kerry the only other county who can do it to the same extent.

Used drive me mad watching Tomas Mulcahy sitting there like a nodding donkey going along with the whole thing. I'd love for Cork to do the same and for our pundits to be unashamedly biased in our favour. Look at Shane Dowling or Jackie Tyrell for example. In their eyes their counties can do no wrong. Donal Og calls out some things but not consistently enough. He is by far the most entertaining pundit on the Sunday game but you certainly couldn't accuse him of overly Cork bias given that he's just as likely to go on a rant about Cork as he is about Gearoid Hegarty and his tackling technique.

Smashing post.
Tomas was a Norrie getting paid so he was comfortable nodding!
