Kilkenny GAA Thread

LI wont go into to much detail but St Mullins were hit with tragedy last weekend with a unexpected bereavement very close to a few key players so it's hard to imagine they will be in the right frame of mind.

Carlow are a bit suspect at the back but dublins attack isn't the strongest. If they can keep it tight down the home straight they will fancy their chances.st Mullins beat cuala a few years ago and rangers bet ballyboden a few years ago so they won't fear the dubs. Pity it's not on gaa go because id expect Tipp to have alot for offally.

Mikey Carey isn't out yet they're still waiting on results.They cant take chances. I heard earlier in the week mullen was due to get out stitches this week but don't know how true that is. We would be hopefull that he will be back.

Thank you 👍

Damian Lawlor is an excellent presenter. Streets ahead of Cantwell.

Straight off, no way should Paddy be in the backs.

I thought the same you lose your free advantage and a throw would be awarded by the ref.

I think that was changed a couple of years ago to a free against rather than a hop ball.

8 First names, 3 nicknames, 2 surnames and 2 full names. 😃

I'd agree with your team, including Paddy Deegan in the forwards, but I wouldn't play Darragh. Buckley or Mikey Carey at 7 for me.

Happy retirement to Neill McManus a great hurler.

Jesus that would be stretching the panel

I think Galway game has a potential for a banana skin for Tipp.

Hard to look past tipp alright, even missing who they are that's a very strong team. Waterford was a blip to me, Galway backs were badly exposed for pace against us and they'll get even more of it against tipp.

Hope the dubs put up a fight against Clare, but it would be a crazy upset. Think we'll be speaking for leinster alone in the semi.

I think the same. Galway win for me

Clare's direct running will cause Kilkenny alot of problems and we know we don't like teams running down the middle against us. Adrian Mullens off the ball work will be greatly needed against Clare. Hopefully he can make it. Also Carey would be good against Clare but its highly unlikely he'll make it. If we start with Conor Fogarty in midfield we will be in trouble.

Clare will also have a point to prove after last year.

Kilkenny will also have a point to prove in that we never got credit for beating Clare last year. Can't imagine Clare being allowed run through the defence like they did against Dublin today. Awful defending.

It happens most years one or both of the Leinster finalists end up in the semis, but ya got to remember Munster is so tough to get out of the excuses will be flying tonight.

Give me a break Galway should have won that by ten points pulling up. Got a bit shaky in the second half but by far the better hurling team.

I'm sick to the back teeth listening to the pundits bigging up the Munster teams and straight after the match both Jacob and Cummins couldn't see anything other than a Clare Limerick final😁

Will they ever learn??
