Kilkenny GAA Thread

Wishing Brian best wishes . He brought discipline and success to his team's.

Winning Leinster was always his first target and he didn't believe in the back door system.

Many candidates will come forward to take over , but I believe the King is destined for this job , and his county come calling.

Best of luck to Brian whatever he goes on to do. He has been the best there ever was. I'm just a little surprised in that he managed to turn our play around a good bit in the last few games but as was always the case with him it was ultimately Brian's decision.

I've had the pleasure of attending nearly all league and championship matches under his stewardship and he's been incredible for the county. What he's done will never be equalled. Thanks for the memories Brian.

Looking forward to seeing where the interest will come from and aside from the names mentioned earlier there may be 1 or 2 surprise names coming into the hat. Obviously it's more than likely it will be a kilkenny man but we wait and see.

The basis is there with a strong panel and hopefully the strides we made with our play in the last few games will be continued with.

For the 1st time in many years we're in this position so hopefully we take our time to appoint his successor.

I heard Michael Fennelly on the radio today talking about his management style. Didn't communicate too much with players on an individual basis but he could say a few words before a match which made Michael feel 7 foot tall. I heard Tommy Walsh say that Cody used to say to him 'go out and own that pitch'. Whatever Cody had, he had huge motivational powers but kept his distance from the players generally

Henry wont get offered this job not now not ever going on what Ive heard

Ah stfu already no one cares

Not really. Cody couldn't win in 8 years, I doubt the next guy in won't win it for along time either. 2022 was the chance and that will be that.

Can you point of the post where I said it was no country for old people? Page 134 is the relevant place - just follow the thread back. It's one thing to be a buffer. It's another try to manifest your county loyalty through absolute one-eyed prejudice and bias. And another again to be too quick on the draw and a bit too lazy in your research to read back the thread a few posts to see the origin of a post (which did not name Brian Cody or mention the word 'old') You are in good company here on all those. But it is quite another to repeatedly lie about an imaginary comment.

Especially when you have the nerve without a hint of self-awareness to talk about exposition of character despite repeating a lie two or three times.

Savage performance by the camogie women. Outrageous quality in their tackling and defending

Just curious, where do you think I meant that Brian Cody was going travelling? (I'm giving up on the possibility that you'll actually source the origin of the stuff I replied to and who it was actually about.)

Even pointing out where I mentioned over-65s would do.

To be fair, that comment was in direct response to talk of Carey going travelling, I don't know why everyone has decided it concerned Cody.

That poster has posted more than enough nonsense today to take shots at without people imagining some anti-old people prejudice

I don't often comment on here because I love reading the excellent analysis and comments. I'm a proud Kilkenny/Comerman and wish Brian and his family all the best and thank him for his commitment to Kilkenny hurling over such a long time BUT can people please ignore Rosita be it a man woman child whatever they identify as they have fuckall to add. The old saying "if you ignore them long enough they'll go away'

Why? Was it that Henry ran out of patience?

The best manager ever seen. He's immortal for hurling fans.

A born winner.

His motivational workshops are incredibly interesting, they show his mindset and outlook. Intimidating and articulate. Exactly the type of man you would follow into battle.

Always nostalgic when something like this is confirmed, almost a year to the day since Canning retired.
