They were robbed. 2 square balls I think

Iirc Galway scored a goal from a blatant sq ball with a minute to go. We were winning by a pt at the time. If ever a decision screamed **** you Kilkenny, that was one.

I'm guessing it'll be tomorrow night when the team is named?

Yeah, I was actually at the rest of Ireland meeting the week before where it was decided that the sponsored referee would do everything he could to try and do a bunch of 17 years olds out of a win. Glad he came through for us

Ah Montie me old pal. You'll be watching Saturday I suspect though probably through the fingers lest you see too much of the pug ugly mongrel brand of hurling McGrath has bred for the occasion. No doubt there'll be a blue and white fist pump/badge kiss to gee up the massses. To coin a phrase, I just loves me county.

mountgomery burns

I'll be the fella handing the brown envelope to James Owens after the match when ye're inevitably robbed, grinning at all the boo boys in the stand.

usualstripes

Are we going to see the team that finished Saturday evening start this Saturday. To combat waterfords running will we see a few changes?

Murphy
Murphy
Padraig
Joe lyng
Fogarty
Buckley
Joyce
M Fennelly
Deegan
Lester
Walter
TJ
Richie hogan
Colin
Kelly


Would like to see joyce half back along with cleere on the other side moving Fogarty to the middle with fennelly.
I know leahy won't start but he deserves a shot.

Hold on Dan is the only man that makes a fool of himself when he runs on to the field grinning his stylish base ball hat as he thinks so please don't let yourself down think of your family.

Conor Fogarty could lose out if Joyce returns with Padraig Walsh wing back

The poor auld Blaa's having meltdowns over their team !!

I don't think he'll move padraig out although I know he played up front against wexford but I thought he brought composure to the fb line last week and maybe helped in murphy having his best game of the year granted this will be a step up from last week.I'd prefer to have joyce because he offers more with strength and this will be extremely physical.
I do reckon he'll have to spring a suprise tomorrow evening maybe he could spring someone like john joe.

Hi all.  I'm looking for one ticket for the Old Stand for the game tomorrow. I'd appreciate if anyone could assist me with this.

Waterford will try and dominate the skies in the half forward line.

We'll need to dominate there.

Buckley good in the air, Joe Lyng is fine, joyce is good. P Walsh is very good, Fogarty not the best there, maybe he better out midfield Deegan and Lester Ryan will feel hard done so if he moves out

He doesn't owe ye anything that's for sure. He did his best for ye 4 yrs ago blowing Ruth as it sailed over the bar and ye still couldn't get it over the line.

I see you've done your best to dispell my insinuation that you have a fixation with referees...

There is a lot to like about Richie Leahy, good touch, won his own ball in the air, good speed and he has confidence also. Jason Cleere played well also. It was refreshing to see him and others delivering good ball into the forwards albeit they were against 14 men. I would like to see Conor Delaney get a run at full back in the league next year with a half back line of Padraig Walsh, Jason Cleere and Buckley with Fogarty back in midfield.
Darren Mullen is a good prospect also. Is there anyone else besides Mullen and Leahy who are eligible for u21 next year? I am a lot more optimistic about the future after the last few days.

Just checked and Tadgh ODwyer is another from that 2015 minor team, he has being playing senior for James Stephens this year. Joey Cuddihy had made appearances for Ballyhale also but not sure whether he has trained on. Darragh Joyce, is he out of the picture?

Didn't he head off to play Aussie rules

Ya Darragh is playing Footie down in Australia, some loss, he was absolutely flying it for the Rower near the back end of last year before he went.

Pretty sure Cuddihy played against the Village the last day.

Lads, quick question - is there a 'bag ban' at Semple Stadium or can I bring in a small A4 rucksack with the sandwiches.

Anybody know?

Banned I saw someone stopped in Croke Park on Sunday.

Yeah tipp and Waterford fans would never do such a coarse thing. Saints one and all. Blame the ref for a defeat? That's not the way things are done where you come from...

No ban, I had a small bag going in to Cork v Waterford with no issue but you'll probably get checked.

He wasn't a bad minor but haven't seen much of him since,
What's the story with mick o connor from olg I think he done his cruiciate a few years ago he was a good minor.
I'm told mossy keoughan is going well for the intermediates and has being good for his club also.He was also very good for kierians this year so the future is bright we definitely have some good young talent coming through

Is it Martin keoghan you are talking about , he got concussed in that colleges final played on, if he is going that well you wonder why he is not with the u21s.

As far as I know his father (rightly in my opinion) wouldn't allow him train with the county teams until the leaving was over. He may be called in now but he would hardly dislodge Cleere at the moment but it's great to have so many options.

I really do hope that Aylward is on fire in training because it's very hard to justify him starting based on the Wexford & Limerick matches.

You could say the same about Bolger he is lucky to be starting.

Before last saturday I thought the 6 forwards named were a serious six.Im glad cody has given them anothér chance.would have lester in for deegan and joyce for lyng would have been my changes.

Cornerback1

I'd say anybody not up to it will be in the bench after 10mins. Joyce, Lester and Kelly there ready to be thrown in.

Hopefully the ball falls well for Bolger and Alyward and they get a bit of luck.

I see that Jason Cleere is not listed in the subs, I think he picked up a knock on Wednesday even though he finished the match?
Happy enough with that team, Kevin Kelly might consider himself unlucky.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few changes before throw in,glad to see leahy on the bench

Burial.

Cork man here. Really like the cut of Leahy. Was very impressed by him as a minor and anytime I've see him since he's looked a right player. Hope he gets a run at the weekend. Type of player ye could do with I think.

Best of luck to starting 15, may see some changes to that named. Let's get fully behind the lads. Put it up to WD and the likes of Mullane.
Class is permanent

Yeah he's a super talent and been in with seniors over the league has brought him on even more, he was class Wednesday night and is one of a few really good young lads coming through!! The likes of Cleere, Billy Ryan and Luke Scanlon look to be great prospects aswell.

Cork really seemed to have turned the tide after a few lean years, the seniors are flying it and there are some really good young lads coming through, young Coleman seems to be a great talent!! How do you reckon they'll go at U-21 this year? Ye're minors look really good too, Turnbull (I think that's his name?) in the forwards looks a real prospect!!
