Conor Cooney injured, Niall Burke starts.

How much will Galway lose by, and will Canning cry?

Hon my Munster brothers!

Any stream? Tipp fan here. Why don't RTE cover it?

>galway up at half-time
Our year?

Who /Anyone But Kilkenny/ here?

They are literally entering a Moyes era

If you have a proxy, TG4's website has it live.

You might not even need a proxy. I remember kiwis in /rug/ watching Pro12 games on TG4 before.

Literally everyone. I respect Cody, but fuck I sure do hate him.

Literally the entire country

Literally the Ferguson of hurling. Right down to the whisky nose.

0-11 to 0-05 to Galway at half-time for anyone who doesn't know.

It really would be classic Galway to win the league without getting promoted from 1B.

>"Literally"

Ferguson's domination was never as complete as Cody's in the late 2000s was. Cody was a top class player too.

Sorry lads watching the rugby, I'll catch it on the Sunday game tonight sure

How the fuck do Tipp only have 5 points? Wheres the game at Croker?

Cody championships: 11
Ferguson championships: 13

>crow nesting in the stands

>league hurling

Even the players don't care about this.

Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. Makes the most sense as a neutral venue.

>galway win the league
>get extremely cocky
>implode in the championship
Tipp need to save Galway from themselves

Yes they do. My friend is on the Galway panel and Donoghue promised them they could pizza on the bus home if they won.

If a candidate stands in my area, he has my number 1

11 point lead for Galway right now. Are >we, dare I say it, absolutely guaranteed to win the Championship?

Getting a TD into the dáil would be the job.

Why is there only ever one of these a season?

Nah, just against the non whites claiming to be Irish on Twitter using #weareirish Twitter tag.

Evening abdul

Why were they hash tagging that? Just randomly or was it a big thing?

Out of nowhere lad

They meant 'we'll turn up in the summer when it really matters"

I can talk about sports too

I was pretty apprehensive about Davy Fitz becoming Wexford manager because his tactics game at Clare was pretty sub-standard (probably the worst of all the major teams, bar Cork) but he's done far better than I expected so far

though Wexford have put in a lot of hard work over the past few years and were really under0-rated by the pundits and the bookies. Liam Dunne is going to go down as a O'Sullivan/ Gerard Houllier type manager who put in the ground work but didn't stick around long enough to take all the credit for their future successes

I have a hunch that they're going to draw Dublin in Leinster, and if they can beat them they'll have proven they're good enough to at least make the All-Ireland semis

Dunne had taken them as far as he could. Banty is doing pretty good with the footballers too. Where are yer county board getting all the money for managers?

HOW DO WE FIX THE FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP LADS?

Talking about football here. Some teams go two months without a game, others have to play again within six days, and smaller counties have lads training for 9 months just to get hockied twice and dumped out. Needs to be sorted.

What the fuck was he at last week, hitting yer man, he'd be saying all types about how the drinking culture in Clare hen he acts like a bollocks, a thug, there last week.

Its not, he must have the little man complex.

Gealic football and Hurling would be two of the most popular games on the planet if the English invented them and exported them to more countries. Discuss.

I was pissed when he got that one-year contract extension because if they held out like two more months they could have gotten Ger Cunningham instead of Dublin, but it now looks like that was for the best. I want to see Dunne unfuck Offaly's shit for his next project

As for the football team, I don't pay attention to them. Wellingtonbridge is where all the money in Leinster ends up

I want a world cup type system, the only Provincial championship that's even slightly interesting is Ulster

Wtf, why do women wearing braces always make me diamonds?

My cum needs to be exported onto those titties.

I like it the way it is, comfy and local,b it that's just me.

Hurling is the GOAT sport but I'm quite ambivalent about Gaelic football though.

Fair enough but can you imagine how high the quality would be if we had millions of players around the world playing though?

Mostly the chebs for me

It should be done like the World Cup, with 32 teams (London instead of Kilkenny, no New York) split into 8 groups of 4. Seeding is based on league positions, ie if you just got relegated from division 1 you're in pot 2, etc.

They should keep the provincial cups for the rivalries, and scrap mickey mouse competitions like the O'Byrne Cup and FBD League. Play the provinical comps after the league season ends and give each provincial winner guaranteed top seeding.

When it comes to Championship
- top two teams from each group goes to round of 16 with top finishing teams getting home advantage
- quarter-finals onwards are played in Croke Park
- third place teams in each group go into the quarter finals their own competition
- fourth place get their own competition as well

That way every team, in theory, starts the summer with the "chance" of winning Sam, everyone gets at least four games, everyone gets a game against a top team, and people end up competing against sides at a similar level to themselves.

I think both games have an excellent balance and scoring system,but I could have seen football becoming bigger/more accessable because you need less equipment.

A lot of lads here in Kerry play football from a very young age, there's an athletic dedication and determination to it. Same for the Kilkenny boys.

I mocked up what such a group system would look like a year or two ago with that pot system and you ended up with with some pretty interesting match-ups and the average quality was surprisingly high

you'd also get way more shock results, which the GAA needs

The championship is crap every year up until the semi-finals and then it's so good that everyone just lets the last 4 months slide.

People are getting sick of it though and if the GAA don't do something, the Championship could end up going the way of the Railway Cup within 10 or 15 years.

Yea I don't pay much attention to the provincial cups having the backdoor slightly devalues it too it's only around quarters/semis it heats up.

Part of it is just the dominance of kilkenny though. I remember Munster used to be more competitive though seems like teams like Cork and Clare have dropped off.

Here's how the pots would look using this year's league and last years provincial competitons to draw up the seedings. You might have to rig the draw a bit to keep teams that met in their province from meeting in the groups but it would be better anyway.

I'm still annoyed about how the GAA were indifferent to Offaly shitting themselves, then when Wexford shit themselves the decided to "fix it" by shoving Galway into Leinster and simultaneously ruining Westmeath's progress (who are still underdeveloped today)

they got real lucky with Dublin becoming a big team, or else the last decade+ of Leinster would have been very underwhelming

>2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

wexford's leinster final losses since 2000, no wonder they gave up

First game I ever went to live was Offaly/Clare all ireland semi. Must have been a good 15 years ago at though.

*ago

First game I went to live was Galway being beaten by Roscommon in the Connacht Championship in 2001. I was really young though. All I remember is being bored out of my mind and only finding out >we lost when we were leaving the ground.

been drinking? ;)

I think if Wexford had gone to crap while Offaly were still in their prime, nothing would've been done either. It was more because BOTH of them fell apart.

Laois VS Kildare, 2003 Leinster final

don't remember the first game i ever went to but it was the mid to late 90's

they didn't do anything when Kildare and Meath both went to shit in football at around the same time either because they were fine bringing in the Dublinbux

And also because they didn't have a spare top-class team floating around without a province to play in.

nope haven't drank in a couple of years nearly. I'm about the DUDEWEED now.

I only use that as a hangover cure

yea is good for that. I got so sick of hangovers I just stopped altogether.

I don't find tac that great unless I have a few drinks with it

look at us

I'll be in Ireland this summer will I be able to watch a hurling match?

yes pretty easy to get tickets as long as its not the final.

>yes, yes pay me for the chance to celebrate your heritage

Where will you be in the country and when? I'll recommend you a Championship game to watch.

GOAT Joe Canning get it done

Nah, Cork were good in the 2000s

They faded away when Canning BTFO the rock
