Ticket prices for the quarters and semis now increased by a fiver.

Fair play to Cork. Written off by everyone and beaten on a few occasions but they're still fighting.


Entertaining game.

Waterford should have won this game in normal time by a good few. The fact that they didn't get the job dons was done to KK never say die attitude. Kilkenny were never going to be the force of old given the retirements and injuries. But they fought to the very end and could have sneaked it.

Best of luck to Waterford but they will have to improve on tonight's showing to go the whole road.

If it's entertainment and controvesy you want then the Sunday game will deliver.

This thread was originally about Connolly bit like most threads has descended into farce. What is clear is almost all senior county players appeal a red card they receive. The only high profile player I can remember accepting his ban is John Mullane.

All counties/county boards are guilty of using ridiculous technicalities to get their player off. The fact that in most cases the red card was deserved is irrelevant. Serious hypocrisy and rubbish posted about Connolly by a lot of posters

You can add Diarmuid Connolly to the list of players who accept their punishment. No appeal is being lodged.

Let De Gea go and play Zlatan Ibrahomovich in goals. He's a big lad and nothing much would get past him.

Bernard Flynn says the officials should get punished for not dealing with the incident involving Diarmuid.




What's Bernard smoking these days ?.

The UK seemed to have got away fairly unscathed for a long period but now are getting it full tilt.

When is it going to end ?.


Not in the foreseeable future.

Why is all thes lads taking so many supplements anyway! Who recommending them! Played fball 15 yrs never once took anything outside of an inhaler; odd red bull maybe!!

And an Embassy Regal at half time.

John Noakes before health and safety became important:

He was game heading up those ladders. You wouldn't get many if any to do that these days.

His enthusiasm was incredible. RIP

Big Joe was a serious player. He had so much time on the ball it was hard to believe at times. His control of the football was legendary. His ability to play in almost any position was another part of his play that some many took for granted. He had some innings and had a stellar career.



Enjoy the retirement Joe.

Some lad made an ass of himself 

He has some cheek !

Aiming for the mythical 5 in row?

And then blames the referee for losing the league final.

He fought hard. RIP.

Tidy player who delivered consistently - fit as a fiddle.

Enjoy the retirement.
