Best of luck to McStay. In reality it's a poisoned chalice as only the big one will do and yet I personally think there'll be a few lean years for a while to come.

Hope
Promotion, Connacht Title, reach AI semi final. Also at least 1 Connacht underage Title.
Expectation
With a load of new players being tried out staying in D2. Lose Connacht Final and 50/50 if we make Qtr Finals. Competitive in Connacht Minor and U20.
1 out of 4 "Hopes"
1 exceeded expectation, 1 "achieved", 3 failed.
So a poor year overall :-\

It's the hopes that kill you.

Mayo will probably show a few too.

Wait til ye hear eternity ring mentioned
What is that and when will I have her bothering me looking for one?

After the first year or first child is born. I got my missus one as a Christmas present. After the first child was born.

To the OP,  I intended to propose abroad myself. But the thought of getting it through security made me shit myself. So I proposed by following a few fellas here by doing up a poem for her in the hotel room the night before we flew. I slept like a log, while she was excited about it and hardly slept a wink all night.

Kilkenny are 2 years behind Man Utd.

They are like the Kerry team who could not beat Tyrone or the other ones who could not beat Down.

There will be huge pressure to deliver an all Ireland imo. Out of respect for Cody there  issue was probably shelved but 8 years is massive for them and on the slippery slope to Cork...

Hard to know. One thing for sure is that there's good hurlers in KK.  Moreso than in any other county.

Lyng will get time, if they want to do it right.  Style needs to adjust a bit yet but work in progress.

I mean who would have reckoned, at the start of the year, that they'd win Leinster again and run Limerick as close as they've been ever run. Not me.

Point is they will always be there or thereabouts as they have the hurlers.

As a student of kk hurling they are in trouble with both the  quantity and quality of hurler they are producing

Cody getting them to an all ireland this year would rank close to the top of his greatest achievements

If he had won it,it would have been his greatest 

Reid started in 2008 with canning Callanan and Horgan,he's committed to one more year but time waits for no man

My Kilkenny friend agrees with this. He said winning the All Ireland this year would 'paper over cracks'. I was kind of hoping they'd win one more under the big man to be honest.

Talk about wasting money on a shower of useless wasters

https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/business-of-sport/arid-40936799.html

I'm a bit confused what this has got to do with this thread?

Throwing money at Dublin the last two years didn't help them. Maybe that's the comparison.

Ray Dempsey has a strong backroom team with him I think. Interesting to see if he will get it (Mayo job) - with Knockmore trying for three in a row.

Man joins gaa discussion website to slag off teachers.

How f*cking sad are you mate 😂😂😂

Man has 3160 posts on said website - how f**king sad are you mate.

Do the average per year. Im not too bad tbh. If you cant do averages ask a teacher.

And if youve been on here before how f*cking sad are you. Again 😂😂😂😂😂

Such a thing to say to him. Useless hoors wouldn't know what an average is. Sure isn't he a homeschool teacher himself.

We all did homeschooling from March 2020 were teachers couldn't be arsed setting work or engaging with the kids so doubt you would last working from home.

Good stuff. I'm sure you kept on doing it then due to the ineptitude of the teachers.

Wtf is people's issue with teachers? Couldn't pay me to look after some of the brats now a days. They deserve the summer.

Who? The brats you mention or the 'teachers who don't teach but babysit'?

According to Met Éireann

This is the first time since 1995 we have seen over 30°C during two summer months, and the first time since 1976 we have seen over 30°C during two consecutive summer months.

Apart from the Charlie Redmond thing, 95 was a great summer.

It was.
