Kilkenny GAA Thread Part 3 **MOD NOTE POST 1***

Against a running game you simply work hard and clise diwn as 1.just like the press in soccer.fact they have won 2 games by a pt should give the selectors plenty to work on as its likely they will play 1 of dublin or wexford again.offaly no mugs this year despite losing both games.

Very, very disappointing performance by Kilkenny minors today despite beating Wx by 3-13 to 2-15. Wx were 5 points ahead when they had a player sent off for an off the ball incident after 20 minutes. Kilkenny forwards scored 4 points from play whilst it looked like Wx had 2 extra men. KK hadn't a clue how to manage Wx running play, we are totally being left behind in this aspect of hurling. Can't see KK going far based on today

It was a baffling red card. It actually wasn't off the ball, wexford corner back was tackling his opponent and play went on and then went out for a sideline. The linesman then told the ref that the wexford chap pulled the face guard and that was what the red card was for. Complete incidental contact whilst defending, he did indeed touch off his opponents face guard, but it certainly wasn't deliberate nor dangerous. Really, really odd call that affected the game hugely.

From a wexford point of view, to play 40 mins a man down and only lose by a point, it's not bad. Whether or not wexford will push on from today is another thing, but as you point out, they did look the better side.

yeah that's pretty much how I saw I too, linesman in question should be ashamed of himself. Both teams will more than likely make leinster semi final so possibility they could meet there or leinster final. Taught cian molloy was excellent and richie lawlor very good too

Despite missing 5 or 6 regulars this isn't a bad team.Id say this will be close to the starting 15 with maybe a few positional changes.Maybe enda morrisey or conor browne might be near the starting in defence and hopefully hogan will be able get a run out in attack.Hopefully we wont pick up any more injuries over the coming weeks.

Brilliant name, that's all, people take offense very easily. Sounds like a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers or some Australian surf champion. Best hurler name since Zane Keenan.

Condolences to the stapleton family on the sad passing of Amanda Stapleton.

The fundraiser between kilkenny and tipperary in borrisoleigh last November was to aid Amanda with her care and treatment.

Always tragic for someone to pass away at such a young age.

Went to buy tickets for Ardan De Gras today for Saturday and there's none available in Super Value or on the gaa website, would it be sold out already?

Seems to be, or at least until yourselves and ourselves use season tickets or county passes by Thursday evening (for Parnell tickets anyway.)

If all ST and PP users don't take allocation by then, I imagine left overs be put on general sale.

There is no option there now for Ardan De Gras

Looking forward to it. Theres always a good buzz around the town for the Saturday evening games. Have a feeling it will be a real dog fight though and the bookies may be a bit generous giving the Dubs a 3 point head start on the betting.

Billy Ocean

As a netural I see this as a real 50/50 game given injuries etc. Draw wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Going to be home for the Wexford match this year, but really regretting missing this match, Saturday night in the park is a fantastic event.

Very nervous of this match now, though that home advantage will be a big one. Lots of players with a point to prove as well.

Nerves kicking in here too, cant wait to see if Cody will unleash the Mullens from Ballyhale or save them for a big occasion like Walter in the All Ireland Final.

We need the forwards to up their game and support TJ and Walter, There is a savior there somewhere but who wants to stand up and be counted. Im fed up of seeing aimless wides / no where runs / dwelling on posession for that extra moment for the last few years, this is our chance, this championship structure will leave all those in Munster flog the sh1te out of each other for a few weeks and we can wait in the long grass to see them in July!

Joey and luke scanlon both reported out

Silly question, but first time with a season ticket. What do i need to do for Sunday? Do you buy a ticket and get refunded or just show season ticket at the stadium?
