"It's Worrying For Hurling!" - 1 Like(s)
Replying To CastleBravo: "I agree with this, the "hurling needs to be promoted" line always seems to boil down to 2 arguments;
1. That 10s of thousands of people in non-hurling counties would actually dearly love to play and support hurling but as soon as anyone in these counties gets onto their club or county board they forget what hurling is and repress it instead. Why this grá for hurling is invisible is a strange one to make sense of.
2. The Liam Griffin theory that hurling isn't popular in these counties because their populations are just too thick to realise it's the greatest game on earth. The idea that large numbers of people know exactly what hurling is but have little interest in playing it is simply unthinkable- it's obviously just incompetence by the GAA to sell it to them." I'm a big fan of Griffin. I cannot comprehend how anybody could not love hurling. It is far beyond sport.
Comparing hurling to sport is like comparing the Atlantic Ocean to a pothole after it rains.

Replying To katser: "If ever there is a statement "how the mighty have fallen " it could sum up Portumna!
I know it's early days in the Club Championship BUT, it already looks like Portumna will be in a Relegation battle to avoid dropping from Intermediate to 3rd tier Junior with most likely Mullagh, Killimor and Rahoon-Newcastle.
4 group bottom teams I expected to be these 4 Clubs.
Surely Rahoon-Newcastle or Killimor have to be certs for the drop? Mullagh would be best out of those 4 and will survive.
Could the once mighty Portumna drop?
They got hammered 12pts by the mighty men from Meelick-Eyrecourt, Ahasragh-Fohenagh will also hammer them and Kinvara should beat them too by a few points." Yes it's possible but playing JC at center back for the first twenty minutes he got opened up. Scored the couple of goals near end to put some gloss on the scoreline. McLoughlin didn't start brought on after 20/25 mins don't know what's up there.
Yes I'd say relegation semifinal. Andy smith has his work cut out.

Replying To littlebirdie: "Ronan Joyce, Haven't really heard of the name b4 last year . What's his background or what clubs has he been involved with?" Hes a Shels man, originally from St Judes in Dublin. They are a dual Senior club up there. Played Football and Hurling for them. Won Senior Football and Intermediate Hurling titles there. And a Senior League hurling title. He's a PE teacher at St. Peters, coaches there too. He managed Shels to a Senior Football title.
The u20s improved from last year to this year under him. Both as a team and individually. But most importantly the u20s improved game on game under him this year.

Replying To Gaillimh_ar_dtús: "Give Cyril Farrell a mic and I'll listen to him talk all day, no bother... But does anyone know why GBFM has a dedicated "Hurling Chat" but no big-ball equivalent? One of my more minor bugbears when it comes to their treatment of our football.
For what it's worth, I'm grateful for the Maroon & White Pod. It took me a while to get into it... and it still drives me soft from time to time when you can't hear what the guests are saying... but there's a decent mix of guests. The odd one is controversial, but that's no harm. I don't want to agree with everything everyone has to say.
I don't know Paul Shaughnessy from Adam, but I find him very even-handed as a podcast host. And it's never about himself. He strikes me as a genuine servant to Galway GAA. From the football side especially, it says something that this level of coverage is coming from one man's own initiative rather than from a local broadcaster.
Gaillimh abú." A genuine guy whos improving as time goes on. He started that as a teen essentially with no equipment. Took me awhile to get into too. Some great guests but could do with leaving Barry Cullinane to focus on the Cork GAA scene.
A good lad who gives great coverage to be fair to him.

Hurling is gone very boring thanks so much. Lads getting a ball and hoofing it down the field and hoping for the best thank you. Very little skill involved so millions. They don't even look when they're driving it to most of the time. They get it and they probably let s roar and swing the stick at it and off it goes like a gold ball and who knows where it'll land. Thank you everyone.

Replying To Farneyman2: "Was listening to the Monaghan GAA podcast that I do enjoy and was fascinated by the point made on the Scotstown goalkeeper situation, Cian Mohan backup to Rory Beggan played junior the last few years and has been very good for their team but due to Rory being out injured he's had to play in the senior championship, by rules that means he cannot play in this years junior championship or next years championship.
How is this fair on him at all, I'm not from Scotstown but I'd be raging for Cian Mohan who's been punished for stepping in for Rory beggan who's got injured while on county duty!" He can play for Truagh.
