Replying To BarneyGrant: "1927 Yankees, 8/15 is good value if you don't mind tying your money up for a couple of months." 1906 Cubs losing to the White Sox was even more of an upset Barney!!!! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20668 - 18/04/2023 12:56:03 2471557 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "Disappointing to see RTE seemed to have changed their stance this year. Roscommon (again) and Galway over Clare and Tipp - very disappointing choice. Biased but I'm confident which is going to be the better specatacle" I'll be able to see it on GAAGO. But yes a bizarre choice from RTE.

Replying To Viking66: "1906 Cubs losing to the White Sox was even more of an upset Barney!!!!" 1927 Yankees were perfection! Babe and the boys. The Babe got 60 home runs, Lou Gehrig 47, and a pitching staff led by Hoyt. Yes, Limerick are that good. Could also have said Dubs footballers 2018 if i was to be parochial :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 4550 - 18/04/2023 16:02:26 2471610 Link
Replying To Viking66: "I'll be able to see it on GAAGO.

It's a sport I've never got into. But I read an interesting article about the New York Yankees in today's Guardian.

I think most people think Waterford are going to set up extra defensively. I believe the opposite. They will go at Limerick with young Fitzgerald, Hutchison, Bennett and Kiely. Certainly if Gleeson had been available. Then try and hold them in the second half. Davy is trying to throw out diverse messages that I don't think anyone is going to fall for. Maybe I am way off but we will see. One way or they other it is a massive task and avoiding a heavy defeat would be the best you could hope for. Some other one in his backroom team says no one other than McNulty with the broken bone is missing. Playing one of the greatest teams ever and on the way to the greatest is something to look forward to. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3249 - 18/04/2023 21:11:36 2471685 Link
Replying To daveboy: "It's a huge shame and i said it at the time that sky pulled its coverage from the GAA. Its only in the coming weeks this will be evident as a big loss. Coverage was excellent. Analysis was progressive and insightful. They covered all the matches RTE didn't in the hurling. GAAGO is for me a poorer alternative as a pay wall selling a product as the majority of its package I personally have little interest in." But I remember the comments on Twitter etc being "hooray", "good riddance", and so on when Sky announced they were canceling their GAA coverage?

It is a great sport, and one with great history and writers. Unfortunately very difficult to follow here unless you are an insomniac! i mean the game times, not the vile allegation of it being boring.

Sky were streets ahead of RTE. TG4 are too even though what Irish I know could be written down on a sheet of paper. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20668 - 19/04/2023 10:23:10 2471720 Link

This year's rule changes should make it better too. And take up less time. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20668 - 19/04/2023 10:37:46 2471733 Link

That was only from certain people though, hopefully GAAGO up the production standard this year. TerribleFootwork (Wexford) - Posts: 1760 - 19/04/2023 10:43:14 2471737 Link

Thanks Katser but you can't look past Limerick/Tipp/Cork in Munster if Waterford had a full hand they could well be dangerous. We simply have to get a result on Sunday if we are going to Gaelic Grounds with a loss on our backs we will be in trouble Limerick have the best possible panel available to them won the league in 3rd Gear there biggest problem is in picking the best 15 if teams continue to if teams keep letting them set the terms you have no chance. In leinster i suppose KK Galway & Wexford its great to have hurling back some very good underage games as well clooney (Clare) - Posts: 1009 - 19/04/2023 11:07:44 2471751 Link
Leinster: 1. Galway 2. Kilkenny 3. Dublin (albeit I would be more confident of this had we played Galway and Wexford in PP) Leinster Champs: Galway Munster 1. Limerick 2. Tipp 3. Cork Munster Champs: Limerick All-Ireland Champs: Limerick (and no county to run them to within 7 points) All-Ireland finalists : Tipp ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1635 - 19/04/2023 11:47:03 2471759 Link

Munster Champions Clare With Cork and Waterford to qualify. All Ireland Champions Galway." Rather wishful thinking there Katser. VERY BIG IF Waterford could somehow overcome Limerick in the opener, it might embolden the other counties to have a go at them. The Deise are better than their most recent results would suggest and Davy is overdue pulling off a coup. I predict Limerick Clare Cork (Still team most likely to topple Limerick I think. I don't rate Tipp' anywhere near as highly as some pundits). Galway Kilkenny Dublin Triffic (Galway) - Posts: 188 - 19/04/2023 13:04:51 2471776 Link
