Laois have won the All Ireland before so how could you say they never will again?

Nicky Rackard was a good cricketer too. His father was cricket mad apparently it was a popular sport in rural Ireland back when the pace of life let a group of men spend a whole day or 3 playing a game!!!!

That was very handy alright..... but isn't it great to get such a easy free pass into the All Ireland Semi Final without even breaking a sweat. It's great to get handy opponents like Laois!

Your ignorance of the history of hurling in general, and in Kilkenny specifically, is laughable.

Kilkenny also played in 7 Leinster Football Finals between !900 and 1911 (including 1904). In the same period they won 5 All-Ireland hurling finals.

Kilkenny where very good today in what was an old style hurling match. Limerick still look like getting two in a row though given the brand of hurling they playing. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 14/07/2019 22:58:07 2211079 Link 1 |
Why would they would be totally written off. They have easily beaten a Cork team that wrecked Limerick twice already this year KK will be raging favourites next Saturday week.

Will you ever get real. This county you so admire has won just game out of nine in Croke Park this decade and to add to that sad joke if Ryan O'Dwyer was not put off that day thy would probably have lost that one too. How so many pundits backed Cork yesterday I cannot make sense of.

A brand of hurling never won a hurling match much less an all Ireland. It takes a combination of factors the most important being the collective performance on the day. Agree that Limerick are strong and worthy favourites but it's not even close to a foregone conclusion Ej (Wexford) - Posts: 355 - 15/07/2019 10:16:32 2211208 Link 3 |
Laois won the All Ireland in 1915.

Limerick are the league, munster and all ireland champions. I think its safe to say that Limerick will be most people's favourites. If Limerick bring that intensity like they did against Clare and Tipp then i can't see anyone beating them. Dec82 (Clare) - Posts: 242 - 15/07/2019 12:01:18 2211279 Link 1 |
Hard to bring that intensity more than twice or 3 times a season. Limerick might not play as well again this season after that performance in the Munster Final. It could be a tit for tat All Ireland semi. I think Kilkenny have a great chance especially with the few players back that were injured. Walter could have a big game in him But saying that Limerick wont be as weak around the centre as Cork were and they have a stronger all round team . It should be a fascinating match. Kilkenny feel abit sore with the free that never was in last years quarter and Limerick are a little peeved at Jackie Tyrell writing off their chances earlier in the season. The better team will win as Cody says. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 15/07/2019 13:01:31 2211323 Link 1 |
KK will be well able for them... Richie Hogan is like a young lad buzzing around the field and big Wally will cause some damage...could we have KK v Wex for the 3rd time or will it be a classic KK v Tipp Final clash of the Titans!!

Limerick will be hot favourites and rightly so with the form they are taking into the match. If they get complacent they will be in for a shock though as although this KK team are not as gifted as teams in the past, they are an extremely difficult team to beat. KK's biggest danger will be Limerick racking up a big score if they get the run on them early like Cork did. I can see KK completely flooding their defense with bodies. Hogan and Walsh were excellent up front for KK yesterday. They could be ready to hit peak form come Saturday week. Goes to show they are not completely dependent on Reid when they have a full selection to choose from. I think I read 12 KK players contributed with scores yesterday to Corks 5.

Will there be a few mini buses going up from Offaly to support the Cats? Daithi Regan is the only Offaly man I know that doesn't have a Kilkenny jersey in the Wardrobe.

You know what I'd like to see. An option to block certain posters, ...like katser. Nothing but a sx!x stirring troll. And a well fed troll unfortunately.
