Kilkenny GAA Thread

congratulations to kilkenny no complaints from limerick better team won very disappointed with our performance thought we'd win this to be honest

I think this is the problem. players thought it 2. most thought limerick would win with bit 2 spare.

Its a valid question to be fair. Clearly it was very controversial.

Well done to the u20s .. A badly needed boost to the county after yesterday's horror show. They were just fantastic. Tactically excellent, great determination and despite the controversy, thoroughly deserving of their win.

So, a loss against Galway would have us playing Cork. A win would have us playing Lk/Clare/Wx. Definite outsiders in either match

Avoiding Cork would be good for this Kilkenny team. I can see them beating Galway as Galway won't play a sweeper and it ll be abit of a tactics free day. They won't beat Cork though.

Ah, as a Limerick fan i would put nothing at all into that point/non-point. It's swings and roundabouts.

Overall the better team on the day won. If played again tomorrow we couldn't call the result.

I called it all along as a 50/50 game.

Well done KK.

It would be an end of an era if Cody were to go and you'd like it to be his decision. I think hes tick enough though and might have to be pushed.

Like the thing about it last night was Wexford should have won handy but for dreadful shooting.

I bow to your knowledge 👍

Could Billy Drennan join the senior set up now ?

He's a handy player and we could do with one ore two of them u 20s.

That's bollocks to be honest. Everyone remembers the mistake on that point, and everyone seems to forget that a few minutes later kk stuck a point over the bar and the same umpire waved it wide, quite obviously looking to balance out his earlier mistake. Tg4 bringing it up over and over again and nobody mentioned this obvious mistake the other way only a minute or two later.

Fair play to the Lim fans who have come on this thread and not made it about that decision, we were marginally the better team in a fantastic match. Plenty of lads from both those teams today with bright futures ahead. Drennan, Langton and Timmy Clifford the stand out performers for us. More importantly, a kk team playing smart ball even when the pressure was on and the game was tight, well coached all through. And it turns out the phenomenal work rate actually can be maintained while playing intelligently.

Lyng made a very strong case for being our next senior manager. It was a great win and fantastic for the whole county to see us winning an all Ireland again, I enjoyed it hugely, don't think I had realised how long it has been until the final whistle went!

But you do see the connection between that point given to Kilkenny and the one that wasn't given I take it?

That was a kilkenny line ball in 2019 it was given to Limerick.

I know the hype around Cody and Shefflin will be turned up before Saturday week and Cody was asked in his post match interview re meeting Henry again and all he said is we're playing Galway. He's correct of course to analyse it this way but what happened between himself and Henry?

Is it just that Henry was supposed to have been offered a selectors role with Cody and he turned them down?
