Definitely handier for Kilkenny fans who drive up, takes only 30-40 minutes from the middle or north of the county. Harder for fans who like to get buses and trains up to matches in Dublin with their kids.

Waterford will be delighted with Thurles, they will bring a massive crowd to Thurles as Junior said its a home game for them. therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 08/08/2016 10:54:56 1897883 Link 0 |

Would love to see Waterford win the reply but I fear that their lack of goal scoring ability could come back to haunt them Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1916 - 08/08/2016 13:09:05 1898006 Link 0 |
I said only a couple of weeks ago that I thought Gleeson was the brightest talent I've seen since Joe Canning. He might be even better! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5020 - 08/08/2016 13:21:46 1898019 Link 0 |

"]The questioned I asked? I asked how many AI replays Kilkenny have lost in the last 10 years, you named one. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 08/08/2016 16:45:30 1898190 Link 1 |
Interesting game yesterday, waterford for 65 mins everything went right for them, tackling, intensity all brilliant. Really should have sealed the deal. Kilkenny were subdued and their forwards were poor apart from the r hogan who was super. I thought buckley and p walsh kept kilkenny in the game as well. Joyce to slow for center back and waterford targeted this. Its funny I expected p murphy to win the game for kilkenny at the death, how cruel would that have been for waterford. The replay will be interesting, lester ryan must start and should not have been dropped. Power will make way. Kilkenny are still a live and they have a great record in replays. They may still hold the the advantage if there forwards click 222 (UK) - Posts: 695 - 08/08/2016 17:25:28 1898224 Link 0 |
If it is like a home game to them why did they not wont to play the munster final in Thurles this year , I think a lot of people have a short memory of Kilkenny playing in Thurles.

At this stage it is all mental preparation, training sessions won't matter one iota. This is where a good manager comes in to his own and getting in to his players heads and getting them in to the right frame of mind, especially in Waterford's case, they have the players and talent to do it, McGrath needs to get them mad as hell for giving a second chance, rather than going out and giving too much respect to their opponent. Playing Kilkenny you need to play with a phenomenal work rate, you need to out muscle and out hustle them for 70 min not 65 min in order to win. If Waterford are mentally and physically prepared they certainly have the goods to do it. Easier said than done right...No disrespect to Kilkenny they are the gold standard of the modern game that all teams aspire to... GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES....let's hope it's another cracker. murrax (Wexford) - Posts: 90 - 09/08/2016 08:43:21 1898553 Link 0 |

Dont think playing the game in Thurles will be any great advantage or disadvantage to either team, both teams would be well used to playing there. Personally i would have loved to have seen a double header at Croke Park for the replay, with the Tipp and Galway game, as it would probably have sold out. Last Sundays thriller deserved a full house, such a pity the place was only at 40 percent capacity.

I agree it was dissappointing the attendence was it 32000? That plus the easier access for kk and wd plus the increase in neutrals id fully expect semple to be 90/95% full..smaller venue...fuller crowd = better atmosphere.
