Kilkenny GAA Thread

Kilkenny were poor yesterday and although a pre pre season management will be a bit dissapointed. Wexford tactically bamboozled Kilkenny at times with their set up and Kilkenny very naively let jacko sit off Corcoran unmarked and he picked up 6 or 7 points which ultimately won them the match.

Conditions were woeful and alot of lads only starting off but some of the clearances from kk was awful.it would of being robbery if kk won and they very easily could of. Zach and andy hickey both tried hard when they came on.

Theres loads of lads to come back but yesterday was some players biggest match of the year and they will be dissapointed how they went. For wexford they knew what what they were doing and jason ryan and david franks have being working hard. This time last year they beat kk in Wexford park under lights and only won 3 more matches all year so they have to back it up now. Kk wont panic but lads around the fringes wont keep getting chances, lads have to take their chances.

Best of luck to loughlins today. A dirty day for everyone but they've being great ambassadors for the county and hopefully they can finish the job today.

When you say the young lads from Tullogher haven't shown anything what are you referring to?

How about you ‘’change” the record were a month into the year and your still spouting the same guff as last year

Wexford played very very like Ballygunnar yesterday, stick pass accuracy to the hand and running off the shoulder at speed hand passes.

Jason Ryan constantly communicating from the line too, but like said before Wexford need to do when it counts in May/June not in January.

They have some very good young hurlers too it must be said.

At least a foot over the line

Definitely over the line. Could be more up at half time but they have the winning of this. Ball into corners working well. They just need to concentrate on their hurling. A goal will be a big score either way.

I've only started watching since the start of the second half, but OLG aren't playing that well, even with the extra man

Loughlins didn't turn up in the second half, that sending off ruined them.

Referee and umpires were shocking

Disappointing for O'Loughlins because of the not given goal but they were very poor for a lot of that second half. Officials were unbelievably bad, everyone makes mistakes and it's not an easy role but they made some gigantic errors today.

They were poor after the sending off but my god that umpire looking right at the ball a foot over the line must be either blind as a bat or was afraid of his life to make a big call so early in an All Ireland club final.

Say what you want but at this level that level of umpiring is not acceptable.

Because if they weren’t good enough last year there not good enough this year

if you can’t see what’s going on

each selector has one from home club on team

Guifoyle very poor for village last year taking off in most games not started in others he is in kilkenny team

Doyle has showed he not ready he is in team

The Clara player showed last year not good enough

Ryan still in there he showed he not good enough

mossy showed he not good enough

and all on team yesterday

where s the progress there

everyone talked about Brennan puck out

better than Murphy did not seem that way yesterday

every comment I make I put facts to them

so contradict facts

now people saying O’Loughlin’s were robbed

no mention of 2 O’Loughlin’s players should have being sent off heary and molley

the sad thing is O’Loughlin’s could win the county final with them forwards if they had Jonny Walsh they be all Ireland champs

any one at O’Loughlin’s and mullinavat last year would have seeing Walsh way above any O’Loughlin’s forward 3 O’Loughlin’s brought in what a joke

Did it though?

It was their firepower up front that scored a perfectly legitimate goal that was ignored by all in Croker that would of won them the game by 2pts.

Sickening for OLG as they will find it hard to get back there. The big players were poor in the 2nd half, Bergin, Deegan and Butler had a tough day at the office

Didn't Windgap have 2 or 3 involved with the minors and U20 that won the All Ireland a few years back. Sean Purcell and Jack Doyle. Would they be worth a run along with some of the other U20s

Jordan Molloy should have got the line for the head movement into an opponent; and the Thomas's red card was a joke decision. (One of many from a referee who was hopeless).

The goal will obviously be a sore point, but felt the better team won. The winning score from Eanna Burke (and his other score (Thomas's 16th point)) were things of beauty.

O'Loughlins lost their shape with the extra man, Bergin (awful effort for the free at the end), Wall, Heary, etc etc all went missing.
