Replying To Waveitwide: "Yes and have lost every one of them." Same time Galway reached 1 final, 1 semifinal, losing both and once, 2019, didn't get out of the round robin and once, 2021, played 2 lost 2? It's a stupid pointless debate this.

Replying To katser: "Kilkenny have won more than Galway will ever have....show them a small bit of respect." I'm stating the obvious, nothing to do with respect. You're the most disrespectful poster on HS. You called Pádraic Mannion Paddy Mannion. How disrespectful is that? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1785 - 22/05/2022 15:36:59 2419435 Link
Replying To rhudson: "Kilkenny won the u20 All IRE today Galway took them to extra time Without Kileen and lee Galway got one game at u20 not right# how are you supposed to bring on young players" They only got 1 because they lost their 1st 1? If they had gone on to win they would've got 3 games. Last year we lost our 1st game and only got 1 game. Think the intercounty window is too tight to fit in an u20 round robin.

We got to a QF, SF, lost 2 games won none in 2020 and only won 1 in 2021 too. So even worse!! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11734 - 22/05/2022 20:48:26 2419528 Link

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "You can talk down KK a much a you want, and you certainly have over the years. But facts are, KK have appeared in 1 QF, 2 SF and 1 final over the last 4 years." You're reinforcing my point. The narrative they can beat anyone no longer applies. If you're suggesting they can then you're contradicting what you said in another thread when you said "what hype". Maybe make your mind up... tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 25/05/2022 10:56:37 2420112 Link

Replying To tiobraid: "Since their last all Ireland in 2015 I think Kilkennys championship has been ended by Munster teams every year. In most of those games they've been well beaten. Limerick, Waterford, Tipp and cork have all knocked them out. Last years semi final was exciting versus Cork but I commented after that the standard was poor and Cork would get destroyed in the final. I wouldn't give them a hope against this Limerick team and you wouldn't find too many Kk lads that would make the limerick team either. 2019 was their best year but as we seen with Tipp that's now a long time ago. They beat an inconsistent Limerick team by a point in that semi. Kk people themselves admit and know that that narrative isn't true these days." I meant on a given day they are still dangerous. I'd never count them out. But I agree with your general point. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2113 - 26/05/2022 20:05:40 2420416 Link
Now that the shadow boxing of the Leinster round robin is over its time to see what Galway and Kilkenny are really made off. Galway were good in Pearse Stadium but Kilkenny were dreadful at stages in the first half, they coughed up some terrible scores. The main event is coming soon.

Galway were good in Pearse Stadium but Kilkenny were dreadful at stages in the first half, they coughed up some terrible scores. The main event is coming soon." Kilkenny were very much a one man team in the Stadium, surly 1 option for Henry should be to stick 2 lads on him for the first 15 min anyway an see how it goes. id be putting Daithi & morrisey on him and drop cathal mannion a bit then to cover (not as a sweeper though). stop eoin cody and stop Kilkenny. Big risk with that is concentrating too much on cody, and TJ might have a stormer then. Morrisey kept him fairly quiet the last time. it will be much more of a tactical battle then playing any of the munster teams anyway. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 425 - 27/05/2022 13:32:06 2420486 Link

There is no narrative that "they can beat anyone", they are your words, and yours alone, and I certainly never suggested it. In my previous reply to your jaundiced view, I was pointing out that over the last 4 years, Kilkenny's record in the AI championships is second to none, bar Limerick.

And have a spare midfielder just in front of the halfback line to double up when needed and get any breaking ball. If you put 2 men each on TJ and Cody the 2 Walshes, Keoghan, Ryan, Donnelly, Kenny or maybe Murphy or Adrian Mullen, or whoever else Brian Cody picks in the front 6, are all well able to score points for fun if under no pressure. You will need lads with pace to mark Cody and Keoghan . Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11734 - 27/05/2022 14:51:22 2420505 Link
