The Sunday Game

[giveballaghback]

Rte has made a blunder by concentrating nearly exclusively on hurling for their live games, what a damp squib the last few weeks have been and meanwhile all the close games and the excitement is in the football championship on sky and deferred on the bbc. Already the sheen has worn off the round robin system in hurling with very one sided games and even that Galway Wexford drawn game last week was like watching paint dry.

They certainly have not! Hurling is the noble entertaining game. The Big Ball game has no excitement and we have to all wait until we get to the Super Duper 8's before our fragile eyes will be able to cope with such a spectacle.

Pat Spillane taking down Kerry for their laboured win v a decent Clare team even though the game was won at half time and talking up Cork for recent wins in challenges and hammering a Division four Limerick was hilarious.

In fairness I thought Spillane talked Kerry up. Whelan who called out doubts about them.

So Pat Spillane reckons Armagh are a very disciplined tackling team - do they even bother watching the games at RTE these days?

Did he watch James Morgan for the brief period of time he was on lol.

The Limerick Manager talking about a tiered system. They were hammered by Cork who would be in tier 2 in a 2 tiered system

Under current proposals Cork wouldn't as they've reached the Provincial Final

Bit of a difference between GAA proposals under discussion and sh1te from Brolly and Ó Sé

Ah they would be now but really Cork are a tier one team and wouldn't spend too many years in the second tier.

Don't know about that, same was said when Cork was relegated to Div 2 in 2016. Too good will bounce straight back was the view but next year they will play in Div 3.

Cork might surprise us all and beat Kerry

[Rossfan]

On the law of averages they're due to bate them soon.

Logic says it won't be any time soon. 2012 since Cork beat Kerry in the Munster championship and back then Cork were Div 1 NFL champions and one of the favouites for the AI that summer.
