Dublin are shocking here. So far off the pace and their tactics are brutal.

What was that corner back doing?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

At least the Dublin fans leaving early are only a 15 minute Bus Journey from home.

Thinking to himself ''I want to be anywhere but here''.

I got an offer of a free ticket at lunchtime yesterday and foolishly accepted. Hard to describe how far off it Dublin were. First few minutes there's maybe 3 from each side contesting a ball on the ground over near the Cusack sideline. Cody comes out with the sliotar with no defender near him. Sells a nice dummy, Goal and game effectively over. KK picked off some lovely points but the truth is that they were under more pressure shooting their practice shots in the warmup than they were in the match itself. Some job for Dublin to lick themselves up after that.

That game yesterday does not represent how Dublin have preformed this year.

They went into that game with an outside chance, but Kilkenny had their best game of the year yesterday..

Everything clicked and for Dublin their shot selection their passes their team play was poor.

Hopefully for them they'll have a better game next day out, put it behind them and move on

Their next game will be Cork more than likely so not getting any easier
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

For me the biggest issue was their tactics though. They were incredibly naive in running into tackles, they were leaving Richie Reid and mullan free. Also they struggled physically. It wasn't just a bad game it was a lesson.

One of the worst games I've ever attended in Croke Park. Really thought Dublin would give Kilkenny their fill of it. It was a woeful performance from Dublin whatever happened them, I'm sure they're better than that. No intensity at all, Kilkenny players getting possession had loads of space, not hit at all. First touch was dreadful, the goalkeeping errors summed up a dismal Dublin display. Kilkenny were very good, not brilliant.. they didn't need to be.

The hurling has become very predictable. Kilkenny won 5th Leinster in a row and Limerick on course for 6 in a row in Munster.

Limerick should win easy enough today. Will be another Limerick Kilkenny AI final unless Cork come up with something in semi final.

It's hard to believe that Clare have not won a Munster title since 1998!

In the mean time the rest have won since 1998...

Cork 8
Tipp 7
Limerick 6
Waterford 4

Power cut in Thurles and Munster final pushed by to 4:30pm throw in.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Captain Obvious

Fair play to Clare. How do you stop Limerick? knock out the power!

Sh*t, I was hoping Darragh Maloney would be the commentator.
Well we will get our usual monologue and Geography lessons today.
