In Lanzarote, and much to the annoyance of the new Mrs Watford, I’ve found somewhere to watch Clare v Meath tomorrow.
However, a possibility that both last year’s finalists will be done by the end of the weekend. What do we think?
Personally I think Tyrone look a mess and will exit tomorrow. Less certain about Mayo but I wouldn’t be surprised if they bowed out too.
What do other Irish Rs think? |  | | |  |

Agreed about the light weight sliotar but can't agree with your assessment of the game in general and Limerick/Galway semi final in particular. It was a cracking match, yes the ref let a lot go but for me that's a good thing. It's a physical gam., One of my biggest laments about modern football is that it has virtually become a non-contact sport |
The rules are being constantly ignored, Myke.
Kilkenny started the race to the bottom with frontal charges and deadening the hurley arm, Limerick have moved up to systematically flaking the chest, body and head. Shoulders to the head are common place, hurleys inside the face gaurd are regular and going up with the hand is almost gone because the likes of Kilkenny and Limerick won't attack the sliotar they'll undercut it before it arrives and you're out of the game.
It's an exciting game these days as the skill levels remain high but it's not hurling, and it bears no relation to the game set out in the rules. I expect Cork, Galway and Tipp to follow and that will be that for the "greatest game in the world (c)". |  |

Got to say, I though that was a highly enjoyable and good quality game of hurling. Well done Limerick | | | |

Agreed, good close game, better team won. Watched it in a pub in Kerry, some of the locals cheering Kilkenny on the grounds that Limerick are neighbours - 50 miles from here at least! |  | | |

Kerry dire in the first half, Galway could be two goals up despite having less ball. Kerry must improve, surely? Packed pub, very quiet. Brian would approve. | | | |

You love the pub 2 weeks in a row Mr Sheen haha.
Listening to it online myself expect Kerry to pull away but who knows ,most of Ireland hoping Galway bring it home |  | | |

Galway had the better footballers but Kerry the better spirit and defence as always wins titles | | | |

Not sure I agree. Kerry always had the grip on midfield but I think David Clifford looked the best player out there. Galway got the most out of their team for 65 minutes but having very little ball finally choked their attack. | | | |

Think Brian would have to concede that Walsh and Clifford have more than just potential at this stage. Bot produced on the biggest stage of all . Kerry stronger bench ultimately the difference- cracking match | | | |

That's seriously misquoting me, Myke.
Someone said on here that they were the best two players in football.
I disagreed, and still do, but hugely agreed on their massive potential to reach that echelon one day.
They both have a long way to go before they touch the caps of consistent performers Kilkenny, Murphy, O'Callaghan, O'Connor, Keegan etc. | |

Certainly not 'seriously misquoting' you Brian.I think you slightly misquoted me, which may have lead to the confusion. On the previous page of this thread, I described Walsh and Clifford as ' the best two players in the country' not 'the best two players in football' as you stated here. Your reply to my original post was "I think they're two fine talents, or 'prospects' to use the American term.No argument whatsoever. Just don't think they're anywhere near the best two players in the country at the moment". This 'at the moment' was what I was picking you up on today. I think today, on the biggest stage of all, when they both produced such sublime performances, proves in my view, they are the best two players 'in the country' 'at the moment'
On your wider point, that they have some way to go to prove themselves consistently over a number of years, I agree with you completely | | | |

Well, ok, Myke. No hassle, of course.
I don't agree, but that's the joys of it. | |

Picking through the 68-page (yes, really!) sports pull-out in this week's "Kerryman", squeezed in after the sea-rowing reports and the latest on the local beagling scene, there was a fair bit of talk along the lines of, "for one of the game's great players, shouldn't David Clifford have won something by now?" So, both appreciation and optimism of his potential, but realistic about his record to date, though it looks better this morning. | | | |

Yeah, even though I was obviously rooting for Galway, I think few would begrudge Clifford his first Celtic Cross. It's that age- old argument that gets levelled at top players. There was a debate over Messi's 'greatness' as he hadn't won anything major with Argentina. Personally I think it's a nonsense, was George Best any less a player just because he played for NI? I know nowadays players switch allegiance even at international level and occasionally in GAA too (who would have thought Sligo would have a Kerryman by the name of Pat Spillane in their ranks?) but for the most part they play for their country/county of birth. Sligo, for example have had a few outstanding players like Mickey Kearins and Eamon O'Hara, but all they would have to show for 15 years of top level service is a single Connaught medal each. | | | |

Just met Sam Maguire! One on the players was having a photo shoot with it on the beach at St Finian’s Bay, got mobbed by the local kids. Like going into Tesco’s round the corner and seeing the FA Cup. | | | |

Questions - Why do women wear skirts to play Camogie but shorts for football. Is it because the former game is older-established, or to avoid upskirting pictures in the latter? And why doesn’t the keeper get her own shirt? | | | |

They are not skirts they are culottes. Yes probably because camogie began in 1904 seventy years before ladies gaa | | | |

When my girls wore them at school they called them "skorts". | | | |

"Skorts" in Cork too.
My cousin was playing in the Intermediate Final. They lost out, but Galway deserved it more I think.
I must ask her both questions, but not any time soon! | |

When I went to school- a loooong time ago- there was no gaelic option for the girls. All they could play was basketball for which they wore culottes. My own daughter was not sporty only partaking in PE under duress but I have coached girls gaa and soccer and they all wear shorts. I would imagine with the camogie, gear a bit like the Olympic volleyball teams, sooner or later someone will say 'hang on a minute ...' I am amazed that there hasn't been a backlash to the Wimbledon dress code yet [Post edited 8 Aug 2022 9:23]

Skorts have changed a lot down the years. The good news is that The Camogie Association is run by women and not by some old duffer like Bert Millichip or Éamon de Valera. So they can change them for togs any time they like.
I often think of Clive when I'm on this thread. He has to read all of this, and must find it beyond all comprehension! | |

Having seen the highlights last night, I think a few goalkeepers will want to keep the anonymity of an outfield shirt - Antrim's excepted! | | | |
