The Hurling Thread

[Cook My Sock]

I am not reducing it to a personal attack, in fact I was trying to do the exact opposite.

It isn't him I have an issue with so much as the system that allows him to do something that I consider wrong.

Fair enough, we'll agree to differ

In the interests of balance, I feel exactly the same about Bono, and I like JP a lot more than that pox

Derek McGrath: Protect hurling's handpass - every free given for 'a throw' last season was wrong

The imbalanced, ill-informed presentation of the handpass debate is unfair on players' athleticism, mentality and skillsets.

Shane O'Donnell on the bench, Rodgers fit to start. David Fitzgerald dropped

I'd say o donnell could start for Rodgers. Word is hes doubtful. Mcinerney big loss for clare.
Waterford team bit depleted, leavy at 6 with de burca on the bench and iarlaith daly injured . Gleeson a sub

Four Interesting teams named
Bit of a shake up in all of them , prob cork look the more settled selection based on team v limerick in league final.
Same 1 to 7 for cork with a few positional changes which is either great backing for those lads or nobody has pushed through , though o brien woukd be in there .
Clare hard to know as lohan often names team and then changes on the day.
Tipp look strong leaving mccarthy and farrell on bench. Would love gleeson for waterford to get back to the hurler he can be.
Great to have championship back and be able to relax looking at it .
Tipp v cork is going to be tasty , lots of niggle abd old rivalry memories , discipline going to be key in both games often refs whether under instructions or not lay down markers for rest of year
