I have a feeling that today could be Waterfords. Whether this is a good game or not wont matter in the end. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 03/09/2017 11:13:27 2042091 Link
Replying To Greengrass: "Hamlet without the prince my ae. 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." Another one who doesn't get irony! ballydalane (Kilkenny)** - Posts: 1246 - 03/09/2017 11:20:36 2042093 Link
Replying To ballydalane: "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." Keep digging..... conordee (Galway) - Posts: 440 - 03/09/2017 12:04:45 2042102 Link

He's entitled to his opinion and a lot of "traditional" hurling fans will be nodding their head in agreement but this comment is interesting; "Derek McGrath must walk away if Waterford lose today," he said. "The Waterford system is nothing to be in love with and I've always said it can't win an All-Ireland." So by that token, Babs should quit as a pundit if Waterford win. To be fair though, for a man who has won so much as a player and manager, most hurling fans take Babs' opinions with a large pinch of salt. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 03/09/2017 14:02:03 2042145 Link

Yes, he is entitled to his opinion, but he needs to back it up. He does not offer any real reason why McGrath should go - he just dislikes the sweeper system. A 10 year old could come up with a more thoughtful and insightful analysis than the rubbish Babs comes out with Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 03/09/2017 14:25:18 2042149 Link

Why would McGrath quit if they lose today? Bizarre statement - certainly not because ol Babs thinks so. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 03/09/2017 14:31:23 2042150 Link

Bit of self righteous nonsense.. Babs is the Pat Spillane of hurling commentary.. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1057 - 03/09/2017 15:19:14 2042163 Link
The curse of Galway goalkeepers strikes again. Galway should be well ahead. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 03/09/2017 15:56:47 2042177 Link
2 soft goals kept Waterford in it. Bring on Jason Flynn for Galway- and he will get the goals. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 03/09/2017 16:10:37 2042181 Link

Galway the better team so far but only ahead by one.. Fair play to Waterford.. Cracking opening goal when Galway were well on top and it's still all to play for.. Not sure who I want to win. I'd be happy for either side so hopefully it'll be more of the same.. Jaysus after watching that snore fest yesterday.. this is more like it! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 03/09/2017 16:16:51 2042184 Link
Advantage Waterford at half time. Galway do most of the hurling and only go in a point ahead. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 03/09/2017 16:16:58 2042185 Link
Galway started like a train and I thought this could be a disaster. The goals have got Waterford back in it and they have been really impressive as the half wore on. It's impossible to call at this stage. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 03/09/2017 16:17:49 2042186 Link
Great game to watch so far, very hard to call at this stage, interesting to see if Galway can come again. Some big hits, great to see but not a dirty game. The ref is letting the game flow and this is contributing to a great game. KY4SAM2015 (Kerry) - Posts: 898 - 03/09/2017 16:24:42 2042193 Link
It looked like Galway were going to win the easily in the first 5 minutes. This must be the best match I've seen in a while. Ref is doing a great job. Think we will see a draw here. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 03/09/2017 16:24:49 2042194 Link
Yea ref has been excellent Galway 2pts up. Draw written all over this jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 03/09/2017 16:42:43 2042200 Link
Hard luck Waterford, ye gave it everything but it wasn't to be. Well done Galway, mighty Joe surely deserves to finally land a Celtic Cross. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 03/09/2017 17:06:30 2042204 Link
