I presume Eddie Keher will be monitoring tomorrow's final for lapses in manliness in case anyone might get sent off. It is such an insult to a player and his feng shui if he gets sent off. It is such an insult to Avonmore as well. Jaysus. 

Kilkenny now are like the old joke

-Canice,  we are taking you off
-But Brian we only have 2 other forwards on the field
- Come off anyway.

I'm gonna hazard a guess you haven't seen your county win an All Ireland... and you're talking about jokes? Stop, I'm pissing myself!

[Scheisse]

Kilkenny are great in moderation. A period of mediocrity is just what they need. It's lovely watching the passes go astray. The Germans have a word for it. Scheissefreude.

The other thing is that Cody won't win any all Irelands in the past

Would you schtop.

If you're going to try and make yourself look bright by using foreign words at least use the right ones; the word is schadenfreude. Scheissefreude is what Galway's sporting history is.

And if you want to go with the future, I'll bet you any money you like that Kilkenny double their total of All Irelands as of tonight before Galway double theirs.

Galway are going to hammer them. In 2011 Noel Lane asked if the hurlers had the intensity , the ruthlessness , the skill and the relentless will to win required. It was missing for decades.

Galway can and have hammered better teams in the past so I see what you mean
They will have to have them stuffed before half time
Cork had only racked up 6 points from play in the semi first half
It's possible but only if Waterford freeze like 2008
Imm also factoring in Galways records in all Ireland finals

Waterfords record in AIFS is 08.
This match is like Mayo v Donegal in 2012

Donegal would line players up near a free taker and have one run off to distract him.  Attention to detail.
Galway have that. And they can hurl.
They are slicker than the team with the sweeper.

The sweeper system will make shit of Joe Canning. The most overrated hurler of all time. Comparing him to the likes of Shefflin or Ring is like comparing water to champagne. If Canning doesn't hurl, Galway will have lost their supposed big day go to man and their number will be up. If Waterford aren't fifteen points ahead by 60 minutes I will be very surprised.

Prediction: Waterford 10-62 Galway 0-03.

That's some scoreline!

Both teams have had inferiority complexes against the big teams on the big stage, but they've managed to get over some of those demons recently... it's all down to who wants it the most, as it's evening out by the day!!!

No more outlandish that the rubbish Seafoid is coming out with that Galway will hammer Waterford. I think Waterford will win by two or three in the most dire final in donkeys years as both teams will freeze and neither are classic finalists.

Classic finalists!! 😂😂😂.  You can almost smell the arrogance!  A few years in the doldrums might do ye lads the world of good.

Cork in 04, 05 and 06 were classic finalists which could/would have won All Irelands in any era. Same with Tipp in 09, 10, 11, 14 and 16 were classic finalists who could/would have won All Irelands in any era. I know you Galwegians are fixated on Kilkenny but its not all about the Cats. Either you know f**k all about hurling or you deep down know that tomorrow's final is going to be utter pish. And we'll cope with a few years out of the spotlight, its when its decades that it hurts most. I genuinely hope ye win the All Ireland for the next 25 years consecutive so you can start to smell what it means to be important but I doubt its going to happen.

For someone from a county that had probably the best hurling team ever over the past 10 years or so, you seem to be angry about a county that has only won 4 ever in its history!  That KK team had some of the best hurlers to ever grace CP and the majority of them humble to a man despite all that success - cop on like a good lad and enjoy the game as a neutral tomorrow, you never know, it might be a classic!!!

Not angry, just amused by inbreeds fom the wesht getting their knickers in a knot over the slightest pisstake.

Let's be honest, tomorrow is going to be no classic. Two teams that are going to crap themselves on the big stage, 30 very average hurlers, no Callanans, Bonner Mahers, Joe Deanes, Diarmuid O'Sullivans, Sean Ógs (completely ignoring Kilkenny). I reckon I'll clean the car instead of watching what in Tipp or Cork during the good years would be the equivalent of a Junior B shield final (again ignoring Kilkenny).

And please don't shite on about Canning or Gleeson, neither of them would get a start on Tipperary 2010 or Cork 2005.

The best thing about this year was the cats at 10/1.
None of the Kilkenny forwards would even make it to the national linedancing finals

Cody had to send them to Coláiste Chonnacht for 3 weeks of intinsive ionsaí na hÍnse practice as part of coordination 101
Did you not think about introducing new lads a few years ago, Brian. Maybe you should have. Maybe you should.

Lol one of the biggest counties in Ireland and no All Ireland since 1988 and thinks he's an expert. Face facts, even if ye win tomorrow ye've another thirty to go until you're even remotely close to your hated Kilkenny. Absolutely hysterical how pathetic ye are and one swallow ain't gonna make no summer.

Joe Brolly talking rubbish as usual... "these Dublin players have all the skills"... eh, there aren't any skills in big ball blasting.

Thank the Lord the real sport is back next week!

Seriously i remember watching that Hearts game thinking "Holy F**k if any of them flares touch that flag material that is over everyone's head it would have been catastrophic" lucky enough it didn't happen.

I've just watched a video of the flares at Celtic Park and right enough it was insane. To hold flares that close to strips of material is grossly stupid. I have seen flares used hundreds of times in Italy but not once in as reckless a manner as that. The GB statement that they used them safely is nonsense. I still stick by the idea that they can be used securely but that most definitely was dangerous.

[potential]

Seriously i remember watching that Hearts game thinking "Holy F**k if any of them flares touch that flag material that is over everyone's head it would have been catastrophic" lucky enough it didn't happen. We could argue or talk/discuss all day and we'll never agree on it but if you take the same argument away from a Football Ground and take it to a Road running near a resedintial area, there may never have been any one killed on that Road but minor accidents and traffic volumes will soon tell you that the potential is there for a child to be knocked down and killed and law of averages will tell you it will happen eventually so to reduce the risk of this happening we introduce Traffic Calming measures to reduce the speed of the vehicles and therefore reduce the risk of someone losing their life.

The golden rule...It may never have happened before but that doesn't mean it will not happen...Anyway have a nice day...

If they were holding flares underneath banners then that is stupid. That's where I'm making the distinction between using them in a relatively safe way and using them recklessly. The ultras I've been with in Italy seem to have, in the vast majority of cases, a bit of cop on in how they use them, perhaps because they're accustomed to doing so. Perhaps the GB, not being used to using them don't know or realise that they do have to be used wisely. I'm going to continue taking the perceived risk of using them at the San Siro and I'm sure you're going to continue to think I shouldn't so we'll have to agree to disagree.

After that it's well time that The Sunday Game panellists stop talking drivel about how good this year's championship is. The quality is scant this year if you ignore Cork who have brought something to the summer. Surely the All Ireland will between Cork and Galway who are the only teams capable of delivering fireworks in the finale, and at that Galway need to step it up because apart from the league final they've done nothing of note.

Highlight your final line please.

So you think Galway can win the All Ireland with the kind of performances they put in against Dublin, Offaly and Wexford... right enough so.

I agree about the quality. KK and Tipp are off the boil. The Déise are average. Wexford and Limerick are lacking in quality as are the Dubs.

The last year where the championship was wide open, 2013, was a much better championship in terms of quality. Clare, obviously as they won the All Ireland, were very good. Cork were strong. The Dubs had their best season in decades and the scoreline in their AI semi was unflattering to them. Limerick had a good summer but probably didn't ride the gap between the Munster final and the AI semi too well. The qualifiers produced some good battles whereas this year they were more of a damp squib. As I said, Kilkenny only came back into it against Waterford because of the state the Deise made of their underpants. Even Offaly pushed Kilkenny and Waterford to a certain extent in 2013. The only really memorable match this year was Cork - Tipp and I suspect Cork are a good bit further on than they were at that stage. This year isn't going to go down as vintage anyway but if the All Ireland isn't a Cork - Galway affair with those two producing fireworks, then it's going to be a year that's quickly forgotten.

why?
cause ye didn't even reach the AI quarter final or leinster final?

Presumably you've seen a great Tipp side, a brilliant Waterford one, a superb Wexford one, a not too shabby Offaly and a Westmeath that set the world alight... like you saw Charlie Carter... all that and pink elephants too  .

ok.
enjoy the few months off county games.

And being, as you claim to be, a neutral observer from Westmeath, what exactly is your county involvement for the next while?


Or, like the rest of your claims, is it more pigs in the sky stuff?

First thing was the link is to a Seria A game and not a Champions League game, the Italian FA is responsible for this. If this happend during a CL game they would have been severley punished.
Second pyrotechnics can burn at 1600 degrees C and you can't extinguish them either, even if they've never killed anyone before (which they have) they still have the potential too and can you imagine the burn you'd get of them...(i've seen the pictures). Can you imagine what would happen if a fan dropped it (getting burnt) in a wodden stand (see Bradford Fire) not to mention that they're illegal anyway and are smuggled into the grounds.

As for standing on your flares you're talking so much shite it's not even funny. You can put a lit flare into a bucket of water for 24 hours and as soon as you take it out it will ignite again...I repeat you can't put them out, the only way to stop them is let them burn out. How we are trained to deal with a flare is lift it with a litter picker and set them into a bucket of sand and remove it to a safe place and then remove it from the sand and let it burn out.

First, I never said it was a CL match and my apologised but I nearly p*ssed myself at the part where you said a wooden stand like at Bradford. You're just making this up as you go along aren't you? How many football stadia do you know that are built out of wood these days lmfao! I know the mothered football supporters of England and Scotland would think the bogeyman flare monster was going to get them but to put them out you can push the lit bit against a surface (preferably concrete or such a surface which doesn't burn easily, I wouldn't try it with wood even if you can locate a stadium made of the stuff these days) and stub it out. You can do it with your hand or your foot.

Now, 1600 degrees C you say... Another jackanory story. Whilst certain types of flares can burn at that temperature, are you going to tell us all do? How is it then that people are (a)able to hold them in their hand above their heads without receiving any burn and not simply dropping them because they get roasted off the heat of them, (b)when they are burnt en masse, and look at videos of flares in countries like Turkey or Greece where the whole stand looks like it's ablaze how is it that the fans can stick the heat lol and (c)if the ones customarily used in football stadia burn at 1600 degrees C how is it that the place stays intact (particularly given a lot of them are lit and thrown onto the ground)? Plastic melts at between about 100 and 300 degrees C and ignites at approximately 550. Concrete loses cohesion at approximately 1200 degrees C so, according to the rubbish that you're spouting, part of the stand wouldn't stay intact. I'm also going to point out that you might not be aware that you can buy the sort of flare used at football matches for about €1 a piece. Now, if for €1 a piece you can get a flare which burns after being thrown into sand or being in water for 24 hours then the purchaser is getting a serious piece of equipment at some value eh? Oh and the ones typically used at football matches burn for maximum of about 60 seconds so by the time they've been ignited, you've gotten to them, gotten your litter picker ready, put them into sand either you're Usain Bolt's cousin or you're telling porkies.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though and assume you mean well and that some health and safety Hitler has filled your head with nonsense that flares at football matches and flash bangs are the same thing. Enjoy your prawn sandwiches and a few hand claps the next time you go to a football match. I'll stick with the atmosphere of matches on the continent.

Fack me that is some ignorant shite, I refer you back to illdecides post, he knows what he is talking about.
