Last year was amazing but it has been a poor Munster Championship this year. No harm in that, it happens. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 02/06/2019 18:49:44 2189887 Link 1 |
One poor match? In case you're not aware, 'The glorious Munster Hurling Championship' is only half way through; there are still 5 matches to be played.

Yeah and to listen to the traditionalists, you would think that if any of the Munster teams were to meet each other in an "open" All ireland championship it wouldnt have the same "magic" about it. They could have all that under an open system and still retain their "magical" and "mythical" Munster championship. It is only a matter of time before football moves away from the provincial system anyway and where football goes hurling is sure to follow. Their days are numbered.

Where is the seventh county in Munster. I know there was North and South Riding in Tipp one time, but that is gone a hundred years ago.

Wexford posters, among others, have been telling us all the Spring that the League means nothing

Munster die hards like to spout that nonsense alright but it's not true , MMMM standsfor more Munster myth making. Galway did win a game in Munster at senior level and also contested to Munster U21 finals. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 02/06/2019 19:29:33 2189912 Link 1 |
Lots of evidence. As bad as Waterford are they were in a league final a months ago and were in the all Ireland final 2 years ago. Dublin and Wexford haven't been in the All Ireland final in decades. Lets not talk about the under 21 All Ireland waterford won at a canter.(Cant talk about the under 21 championship when Leinster teams are around) They dont count lads....no barometer of hurling in a county.... bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 02/06/2019 19:43:55 2189921 Link 0 |
It was actually very sad watching waterford today, 12 of there 2017 AI final starting 15 figured in some way today. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 02/06/2019 19:49:22 2189926 Link 0 |
I accept your point of order, and in my defense I think I speak for everyone when I say that once Munster accepted a county on the Connacht side of the Shannon, people stopped taking it seriously as an entity so really, does anyone care?

Ah come on now BB. Dublin and Wexford have decent teams at the moment . Waterford on current form might beat Carlow but not any other Liam McCarthy team

Fair play to you. I had to correct someone else on here about a year or two ago; saying the same thing ( Galway never won a game in the Munster Hurling Championship ). It seems to be a common misconception. Although, I think the match I stated was Galway's one and only win in Munster.

The main word in your reply was 'accepted'. Munster 'accepted' did not take several years to accept Galway at all grades, unlike Leinster.

True enough. But completely unrelated to the subject at hand, other than to show in a very circumspect way how utterly contrived the provincial system has become.

Maybe should should check your stats before posting in the future? At least you were born in a good year for hurling! Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 03/06/2019 00:05:52 2190041 Link 0 |
Limerick beat Tipp easily in the league this year. Regardless, bit strange to point to games against a third team in the league in a debate of who would win a match now.

Yes, but we can't base opinions on events that haven't happened yet..

Ha, any chance Munster will "accept" Kerry into their glorious championship? What with Kerry being in Munster and all?

Who actually thought of that plan re Kerry. Was it imposed by Central Council or Munster Council? Yes I think they should be playing in their own province. They even won a match in Munster within the last thirty years - V Waterford in 93.
