You are living in your own world if you believe that.

it's been pretty poor on the gaa's behalf. the first showcase final in September and hardly a wimper, it's like they don't give a toss { no offence to the following } because kk/tipp aren't involved. For the biggest sports organisation in the country they sure would need to employ a couple of decent pr gurus who could bring a bit of razzmatazz to the whole weekend/s then again, they will sell out tickets so they probably think that's job done but it really smacks of disrespect and contempt to those teams who make the final/s and those supporters spending good money in the economy and then you have the biased media who've got miles of column print and airwaves of international sucker and super 14 rugby, you'd think that the ai final is an irrelevance and inconvenience to fill a few blank areas

Relax, it was a joke, I'm looking forward to the final tomorrow. And people say the yanks don't get irony..... Speaking of arrogance, Dublin football fans are the worst by far. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 02/09/2017 19:41:39 2041932 Link 1 |
Bad weather forecast for John Mullane if Waterford win. Heavy spells of rain Monday eve.. may be a bad day to be out in the nip Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 02/09/2017 20:54:47 2041964 Link 6 |
That post is a little unbecoming of you Ballydalane. Up until the Cody reign 2 or 3 all-irelands a decade was the KK quota. Cork were ahead on all-ireland wins until the KK surge of 2006-10. I could go back along way but there was certainly nothing missing from Galway v Tipp 1988, Offaly v Limerick 1994, even more so Offaly v Clare 1995, Limerick v Wexford 1996, Tipp v Clare 1997 to name but a few. I'm on the border with KK and support them as i've family connections but even some of those remarked how boring the celebrations were in 2015.

It came across as half joking, half in earnest. And that was too much. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 02/09/2017 21:01:26 2041972 Link 6 |
You have a point. Walking through Dublin this evening and night, if you were a stranger you would never get a notion that one of the biggest events in the Irish sporting calendar -- an event by which some of us at least measure our Irishness -- was happening tomorrow. It has the feel of any old Saturday night. I remember either in 1998 or 2001 the Saw Doctors gave a free concert in College Green and there was thousands at it. Everybody knew that night there was an All Ireland final on the next day. They'll probably have to give Dublin hurlers a bye into the final some year before the city will show any interest.

I guess in this day and age people are no longer capable of deciphering the context of the written word unless it's accompanied by emojis.

Sarcasm doesn't travel well over the internet sometimes. It just sounded off as let's face it ye haven't been lacking in big days and it's not all about Kilkenny. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 02/09/2017 21:51:59 2041995 Link 6 |
I love Kilkenny people with sad faces! Keep it for 2018 too please!

For all the handwringing about Guinness' sponsorship of the hurling championship at the time, at least they knew how to promote it properly.

Fair enough, I apologise to anyone who was offended.

No it has never been your form Ballydalane. A poster of integrity always. We all say something that comes out wrong. I suppose a lot of emotion around tonight, just looking at the Keady family in the audience there etc. And Mention of Conor Gleeson's brother too.

Hamlet without the prince my a**e. Ye weren't good enough this year . A certain amount of humility wouldn't go amiss with you boys . The fact that this is the most eagerly awaited final in at least two decades should say something to you.
