Clare beating Westmeath was probably the biggest shock,if you could call it that. There was some bloke on the telly the other day, talking about the Irish open golf,which is being held in Clare this year, and he said "Clare may be out of the all Ireland (hurling) but we have the Open " I felt like shouting "You're still in the football you twat " but I didn't.

Tyrone beat Roscommon by four in the first of the football Super 8s.Half time in Croke park, Cork lead Dublin by four early on but a Dublin goal right on half time leaves six between them, going to be tough for Cork to close that gap.

Hurling Semi final weekend.
Limerick v Kilkenny
It's beauty and the beast tonight as probably the best side of the last 10 years take on the forces of darkness.
This Limerick side has the potential to be for hurling what Dublin is for football, a terrific all round team who can score from anywhere and with no noticeable weaknesses. If they win tonight, it will be only the second decade in the history of hurling that Kilkenny haven't won a title, while they are always dangerous I have to go with LimericLimer4 or 5 points. It's on Sky at 6, so if you have any interest or curiosity I'd recommend it.
Tipperary v Wexford
Tipperary are unlucky to be around at the same time as this Limerick side. They're likely to be too good for a talented young Wexford team whose time is coming. Tipperary by two points.

There's just something about Davy Fitz looking sad that makes me Happy. On balance Davy Fitz is probably a good thing, and he seems to generally mean well, and is trying to deal with being completely unhinged. But he is a gobshite. Wexford are much improved though, and Lee Chin is amazing, but they let tipp really dominate the end of that game. And given that tipp were a man down, and are getting old....
BTW I remember when Liam Sheedy was a powerful hurler for tipp. Now he looks like michael D in the land of the Rugby giants. (and as for davy Fitz) Where the fuck do they find these lads? Some of these young hurlers must be nearly two metres tall.

I just googled that, they're not giving much away. The only clue I can see is the involvement of the Gaelic Players Association, they're the representative body for the inter county players, so I can imagine the standards going to be fairly decent.
In other news, it's all Ireland hurling final time this Sunday. Hopefully it's a good game but I honestly couldn't care who wins. It's Tipperary v Kilkenny, basically Real Madrid v Juventus, unless you support one of them you support who you hate least.

Erm, not even tipperary fans hate kilkenny. Kilkenny fans manage to support a massively successful sporting team without it making them weird. I think it may make them unique in the modern world. Brian cody is a bit annoying, but only because he keeps winning. But that's because he's ridiculously good at what he does.
(That is not to say that there are no annoying kilkenny people, it's that the overall culture is.....well adjusted.)Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 15-08-2019, 21:31.
