Good stuff Bud. People are way over the top when it comes to Kilkenny. Kilkenny are the furthest thing from a dirty team. They have one or 2 players who go out in every game who are not afraid to push the rules to their limit, and even occasionally cross the line, but maybe others should be taking a leaf out of this book instead of whingeing about it. The reaction to everything Tommy Walsh did on saturday from the Galway crowd around me was a joke. Walsh got what he deserved. Yellow. If he deserved more, he'd have gotten it. It wasn't a pull across Hayes. It was a slap. Yes, he made contact but what he did was very different from a lad who winds up and then hits a lad. Very different.

I agree that KK are not a dirty team but what Walsh did to Hayes on Sat evening was bad and he should have got a straight red for that...the worst thing any one can do to you in hurling is pull down on the hand deliberately ....the next foul deserved a yellow too, clumsy and late

 Galway will do fine so long as someone else takes care of Kerry for them 

Bring back Mattie Murphy, he knows galway club hurling and the underage talent better than most

if not than we always have Vicent Mullins (u21 boss for past 4 years)

not convinced with mr. bond and backroom team

by the way...who in the background team (selectors) did the players have it on for , was it mr. mulqueen or mr treacy ?
or was this a front for the issue of gerLog ?

we need a game plan to win our own kick outs and both bradshaw and mullaly are good going forward, we may need coyne's height and strength to mark the like of brosnan if he comes on (last few times he has killed us under the dropping ball...remember 2002 out wing backs got cleaned under every kick out)

we are seriously short on options if both bergin and armstrong are out (on top of nicky j and d meehan)

we need to be very mobile to pull this off on saturday

 Prob best to start with Darren Mullaly and Niall Coyne as half forwards (sweeping up from the half back line with Bradshaw & Sice who are both a bit on the small side for these big kerry boys)......and play PJ close to goal
