Kilkenny GAA Thread

Fogerty was a stalwart for Kilkenny (it's think not things) , I think his legs are gone just like TJ and Padraig BUT I will never disrespect any of them like some spanners on here. Also we're waiting months on here for Village87 alternative team but silence is golden eh 👍

Click on their username and when you are brought to their profile, there is a drop-down option called "ignore"

Everyone should do it. His posts are torture to read

Real sign of not being able to face the truth

no one ever said he did not give great service to kilkenny

fact he has played one good game for comer in 4 years as you said was he should have the courage to go rather than have his school pal select him

billy ryan had very poor year for club

5 years hurling for kilkenny and never never ever stared in a match

mossy taking of in Leinster hurling final all Ireland semie final and all Ireland

This year in 3 league matches did not get a puck of the ball taking off might be a great trier that’s not good enough

padraig Walsh being moved all over the place performances getting worse

Buckley the same

Walter the same

no matter how you try to dress it up and ignore what I say not one person has being able to counter act what I say the results are there to prove it and before you all get excited again and say last year all Ireland semie I on record as saying the only reason we done so well was because what I consider the greatest performance I ever seeing on a hurling field by the greatest hurler I have ever seeing

the only match of importance we won this year was against cork and they did not even put out there team

Wexford in Walsh cup when it mattered and for the last 3 years they have beating us when it mattered

tipp beat us in the league when it mattered

Limerick destroyed use in league final

could not beat galway in our own back yard with the ref giving us everything

so come down of your high horses and face reality we are going nowhere

we have to many poor players with very little skill and none have the guts to face up to it we are down with Antrim Dublin and until proved otherwise we are not able to beat Wexford when it matters

Maybe village man right it’s better than barring lads that are gone past it or not up to it

Why do you bother watching kilkenny hurling at all?

You obviously despise it and have no constructive criticism, just slating them over and over.

Also you can't seem to spell or dictate properly.

Ignore is a godsend, good luck.

who do u want to play instead.we have what we have and what ever u say, the effort cannot be faulted

Kilkenny v Wexford in Nowlan Park. Offaly v Dublin in Tullamore.

To conversation 3 never seeing education put the ball over the bar yet

usually when educated people have to bring up others peoples education means they have list the argument again I refer to anything I have said backed with facts

and just because a lad can run around a field he good enough mossy has no skill he not cable if the basic thing in hurling in passing a ball

the 2 coner backs responsible for 50% of Galway scores today

they brought on 2 chaps in the last few minutes and they got a draw for Galway

I never needed education going up the hogan stand steps

please god your time will change because listening to the same thing

mossy a great trier waste of time

billy ryan 5 years has not played a good game And a very poor season for his club

see everyone now saying fogarty was

I never said he wasn’t but he is finished Evan at club level comer people will tell you that

walter terrible club year

it goes on and on and ye think you going to win all Ireland

you have a manager so inexperienced some of his decisions are baffling and out right stupid

so no matter what education you have it won’t turn mossy and Ryan into hurlers

Good post. Now, my advice to you is to hit the ignore button like posters have suggested and done.

Only fair to highlight some positives about yesterday despite the disappointment of not closing the game out, Huw Lawlor and Mikey Butler were very good, Tommy Walsh has been struggling a bit but overall we have a strong fullback line, Darragh Corcoran was good in the second half and Eoin Cody should get a lot of confidence from the game, John Donnelly had a lot of good moments but again couldn't sustain it for 70 minutes, I think there is a stamina issue with John which has lead to him getting dropped a fair few times by Kilkenny over the years, Mossy Keoghan did well when he came on and should start from now on in my opinion, the rest of the team had very mixed performances. Main worries for me are that we don't have a functioning midfield and the halfback line likely to start from now on lacks a fair bit of pace.

I'd be confident that we will see big improvements in the performance of TJ and Adrian Mullen over the next few games and hopefully Billy Drennan will get back to full fitness, so a decent run at the championship is very possible this year despite some big issues with the team.

I purchased a minor and u20 season ticket for €40 does it entitle me entry to today’s game

As always pandemonium here when we don't get the win and everything is wrong and everyone is to blame. Thank God we didn't lose.

Anyway not going to hide the fact we absolutely threw that match away and its very dissapointing a few matches like Tipp in league.and we downed tools against limerick and yesterday we couldn't see it out despite being 5 up with 5 mins to go. This is not what we usually associate with kk.

As others have said I was in the big new stand and the amount of space on that side for the last puckout and shefflin roaring at eanna Murphy to hit that side we were very slow. Being organized for the puckout when a free or line ball like we had is something we teach u15 but as village87 said Richie Reid no way should of being shoved off that ball. Very good man on the ball but lacks presence. We struggled to get Adrian into the game and Joe Cooney done a God job on him. We should of maybe took Joe out of his comfort zone and put mullen in around corner foward.

Some of Mikey butlers clearances yesterday were very poor the goal and a few points came from just terrible clearances. Nothing between kk and galway the last few years but yesterday is just one we should of seen out the lads will be dissapointed. We've a tricky one away next weekend but we should be winning the next few matches. Wexford of course won't be simple away the last day and altho they've gone back and suffering injuries form will go out the window. Wexford themselves have a tricky one against dublin.

Yea thats the talk anyway he will be a help alright

Back around the panel?

Fairly drab 1st half for the minors. Full forward line getting a lot of ball and not using it well enough. Ed mcdermott in full forward looks very sluggish. I know he's returning from injury but got a lot of ball in there. He moved to corner forward and got a good point. Brian Moore playing corner forward got the goal and is hurling well along with Greg Kelly. Mikey stynes hurling well centre back. Up 1-08 to 0-05 at half time. Wexford started well but we started to control the game after about 15 mins.

Kilkenny made hard work of beating an average Wexford team, hitting a lot of wides. Through to Leinster final against Galway who beat them by 13 points in the preliminary rounds. Greg Kelly best of the forwards although Brian Moore was dangerous when he took his man on. Miley Stynes had a decent game at centre back, Ed McDermott did better when he went half forward. Realistically, the best that they can do is to try and restrict Galway to a smaller winning margin and see how they measure up against the Munster winners.

After 55 minutes yesterday Kilkenny had scored 25 points but only scored 3 more until play ended after 77 minutes. Eoin Cody did well in taking his scores and not overplaying the ball which had become a habit recently. Adrian Mullen was man marked and didn't get on a lot of ball. To me, Galway look the better team on paper but Kilkenny will be dissapointed not to win. I thought we gave the Galway backs way too much space and time on the ball to send good ball into their forwards who made good runs. Time has caught up with Padraig Walsh, Conor Fogarty and TJ. While TJ is still invaluable, his contribution will be reduced.

I don't think that there are players outside the squad who can be drafted in. In fairness, a number of players have been tried at midfield with none nailing down a place, Darragh Corcoran did better when he went half back but I would swap wings with Blanchfield who I thought did well. Maybe Paddy Mullen and Paddy Deegan at midfield?

I thought when TJ was taking a sideline near the end, we should have been dropping players back for the puckout to come. Instead Mikey Butler went up to corner forward.

It is likely to come down to the Wexford match to see if Kilkenny progress
