If Carey's dodgy stories were being whispered in Kilkenny GAA circle for years, then why did Cody bring into the Kilkenny backroom team in 2021?
Poor judgement there.

Most would agree theres not a lot wrong with hurling. But...the handpass has to be addressed soon. Its allowing  a short passing game (throws) and the secondary effects of that are spare hand fouls, pulling and draging, rucks etc. The game needs to be cleaned up due to all the above and starting with banning the handpasses from the same hand as holding the ball is definately worth a try? At least a proper trial? Tackle should be hooking and blocking not using your hands to stop a player off loading a throw type handpass.

The handpass rule is that the ball must be released and struck with a definite striking action of the hand. If referees enforced this existing rule, there is no need for a new one.

Trump achieved little except legitimising Putin. He was like a giddy school kid waiting to greet him off the plane.
When he meets Zelensky, it will be hostile.

Fine Gael have a terrible record in Presidential elections. Humphreys is probably their best bet though.

I think football has benefitted from a lot of the recent rule changes. The games are more free flowing, high scoring and watchable.

What changes would be useful in hurling?
- The hooter would be good.
- Maybe keep 4 up in the opposition half too?
- Get rid of short puck outs.

Tap and go frees and 2 pointers aren't needed in hurling though.

what would the hooter add to hurling? we dont need it, id argue its brutal in football aswell.

With the hooter, at least teams would know exactly what's left. No more playing for the draw by the ref.

Cork's reign as 2025 All Ireland champions didn't last long     

That's a woeful decision to give Dublin the ghost goal from the penalty.

this is worth a read for any anoraks out there!

Are my eyes deceiving me?

Are we playing the NHL Div2 final on a pitch with no 65 metre lines marked on it?

Unreal

Any GAA club ground that doesn't have the 65s lined out should have all funding blocked.

An all time great! He had the football brain and the Kerry man cunningness to add to it.
 

Liam Óg McGovern gone from Wexford now.
Diarmuid O'Keeffe and Matthew O'Hanlon finished up with Wexford too.
I can't see them being in the shake up for Leinster this year.

Are all the IPTV providers in trouble?
I had just paid up for another year when my account stopped working.
My provider has gone to ground, so I'm assuming I've been scammed.

Since it's a shady area, I can only complain so much.
 

Huge Cork bias. Take out the frees and Pat Horgan is not an elite forward.

When should I pile in?
