Hurling 2024

Jackie Tyrell baring all on the GAA social podcast.

GAA Social

A very good listen and not afraid to come clean on his own discretions..

On the Cody/Shefflin hand shake he talks about, we'd Cody up last winter for a "legends" talk and Cody came clean on it and wasn't asked about it.

Cody is as Tyrell talks about is an out and out hurling man, his life is lived through that prism and more importantly Cody is a James Stephens and Kilkenny hurling man first and foremost.

Cody articulated that night that for the life of him he really could not understand how any Kilkenny hurler, especially someone like Shefflin who has gained so much from Kilkenny hurling could actually coach a team to try and beat Kilkenny in a Leinster or AI championship.

Old school alright but there's loads of lads with a similar attitude in every club and county in Ireland.

I'm sure there's lads in Tyrone would go mad if Mickey Harte coaches Derry to beat them...

If Kilkenny were winning it might be different. But kilkenny are really hurting. This is season 10 ...

They're still bagging Leinster titles like hot dinners and whilst they're not winning AI's it isn't Shefflins Galway that's preventing them.

Leinsters have no value in Catland
They get hammered on the big day and that really hurts.
Huw Lawlor has never won a senior all Ireland.
If you had said back in 2015 that one of the greatest players in the game, from Kilkenny, would have lost 4 senior finals and won none, nobody would have believed it.

I know all that,  my original point being is that it isn't Shefflins Galway inflicting these defeats, it's Kielys Limerick

Kilkenny had a jammy win last year. Imo KK and Galway are on a similar level.
This chart is really interesting. Cork and the Cats have been flatlining for a while

Good live game on RTÉ tonight with Limerick winning 0-26 to 3-16

Limerick had 42 scoring chances to Tipps 30 so probably should have won by more, the goals kept Tipp in the game.

Sf Galway have been very poor this last few years. Kk have some fantastic players but as a team I think they are performing above themselves. Galway are definitely not performing above themselves. They've been a big disappointment since they won the ai tbh. They're the only team with the physicality in them to challenge limerick (and beat everyone else) but they never do.

Galway are poor but so are Kilkenny. Way off the pace. They can't compete for possession in their forwards, they lose too many puckouts , shooting is poor, they can't compete physically.
 Winning Leinster means getting a ritual beating in the all Ireland final.  Kilkenny get more allstars but they never win the big prize either.
Galway camogie have  won 2 all Irelands recently so it's not not that bad overall.

Offaly look as far off the top teams in Div 1 as ever with today's home defeat to Cork.  0-16 to 5-28.

Thought the -10 evens was a free one by the bookies..

This match is a war of attrition! Some fielding in tough conditions..

Hopefully Wexford hold on, Waterford have been wasteful with shots selections. But 3 in it with 5 to go

[seafoid]

Great win for Wexford. They were very impressive

I wasn't expecting Kilkenny to lose. Cody will be on DEFCON 1

[Wildweasel74]

Offaly took some hammering from Cork. Some games as lopsided as football, looks bad when u think Offaly actually won  few all Irelands 30yrs ago.They fell badly away.

The 1a and 1b should help that. You've effectively division 1 and 2 mixed together. They have a long way to come back though. Antrim against Galway was probably no better the other week and Westmeath have had similar hammerings.

SF the difference is Galway should be so much better than they are. KK aren't fantastic at the minute but are really making the most out of themselves. They are beating everyone bar Limerick. Having a team that should so much better than they are is harder to stomach.

The results are the same. What is the point of winning Leinster anyway? From a Galway pov it is better to have KK making a show of themselves in the All Ireland final.    Galway have lost enough of them. If Galway are really good enough they will beat Limerick in the semifinal. 

Whichever team finds a way to score goals against them might be able to beat them.

3 galway players sent off yesterday so Daithi burke and Conor whelan are unavailable for the match against Limerick next weekend

I don't think either have cause for complaint all the same.

Davy Fitz's Waterford bate again and relegated. He had to stop himself from throwing some players under the bus in the interview after the game.

Will he still be in a job in a few months time?
