Looking on here you wouldn't think there was a All Ireland this weekend, best of luck to both sets of supporters in their search for tickets!

Since Cork, the aristocrats of hurling, last won a hurling All Ireland in 2005 a whole lot has changed in the world. They had arguable one of the greatest hurling teams ever in the late 70's, but since 2005 the two greatest hurling teams have appeared in Kilkenny and Limerick, can I say they both came and went?

In 2005 they stood top of the hurling charts with 30 All Irelands, four ahead of their closest rivals Kilkenny who are now six better than them. Limerick, Clare and Tipp have also won multiple All Irelands. Offaly even managed to fall to the 3rd tier of hurling and rise again.

There were no iPhones to capture the videos of the 2005 All Ireland success and no Youtube to upload any videos onto. There's been 3 popes, ISIS rose and fell, Greece went bankrupt, Ireland almost did, Britain left the EU, a global pandemic, same sex marriage was made legal and Trump became the US President, twice.

Since their last AI, well, AI means a completely different thing now.
Up the Rebels, Up Tipp!

From whom? If there was a Kilkenny player who didn't know the score I'd be very surprised.

Did Kilkenny come out looking an apology?

There's definately no way Kilkenny players knew the score.

How would they have known?

I've been refereeing many years, in every game that has a scoreboard I've been asked two things what's the score and how long is left. That's every game

You're telling me they didn't know that a point went up for a wide?
