Hurling (Sport)

otm

The Wexford hurler spent a week training with the Vancouver Canucks last month, one of the top teams in the professional NHL

this were good

sounded fantastic alright.

that is some wild scoring, a score a minute almost. ffs.

that sounds amazing. good write-up too.

Big win for Cork, they've been a long time in the wilderenews. Good potential for this years championship to be open. The usual suspects, Cork and then Galway who are league champs, Waterford too

We're allowed talk about Tom humphries now apparently

All Ireland semi final draw

Galway v Tipperary (6th August)

Cork v Waterford (13th August)

At some point in the four day battle the Fir Bolgs took the time to challenge the Tuatha De Danann to a game of hurling, three times nine Fir Bolgs played against a similar number of Tuatha De Danann, many Tuatha were killed

thats the fuckin stuff for them lads

"I want to see no fir bolg men fucked over any fuckin line like no fuckin loaf a bread" quoth the home coach

Timely revive! I've just read abt Sétanta/Cú Chulainn yesterday, slaying the vicious hound of Culain w/ a hurling ball.

ríastrad ftw imo

lookit i am sick pushing the wyrd formorian cycles etc on to an ungrateful ilx

Bres turned out to be a bad king who forced the Tuatha Dé to work as slaves and pay tribute to the Fomorians. He lost authority when he was satirised

miriam lord ft prehostoric w

ilx would prob only take in Táin Bó Cúailnge if there'd been a VAR involved

extra táin

get on these btw

fuck ya anyway wiki

Galway v Clare semi final yesterday was an absolute belter. A draw after the end of extra time and the replay is on next Saturday. Draw was a fair result

Limerick v Cork today. I think Limerick will just about shade it, at least I hope they do

And they did! Has there ever been a Limerick vs Clare/Galway final before?

Limerick v Galway in 1980 apparently

I think Limerick will do it this year, theyve got a strong squad, subs that came on against Cork made a big difference. Galway not as great as I had previously assumed. Clare gave them a lot of gifts in that first half to make them look good.

Michael Bollins u wash that dirty mouth of yrs w soap young man

galway limerick tomorrow in the final folks

not a great final tbh

not a great match but cracking drama when comeback looked on

flying back when the match was on so i only caught the nail-biting last 10 minutes. im over the moon, limerick are such a big hurling county its great to win the thing at last. limerick city was dead quiet this morning according to friends

I got those O'Muircheartaigh quotes fwded to me the other day, kind of a tonic as I got mad love for Sid Waddell still but his classic work is all in decades long gone

You;d need to have heard Míchéal's craggy tones first to get an idea though.

O has taken me to the Blythe Hill Tavern to see her lads

The downside is that they're playing maybe the greatest team of all time, apparently

Winning atm mind!

Still winning! Limerick look rattled. Have observed that they seem less the Man City of hurling than the Chelsea

Uh oh. Limerick have found their groove. Still, for half an hour one could dream

This thread title is perfect

How much do you enjoy the violence intrinsic to both the performance of and enjoyment of the sport, Louis?

I'm a football fan, so...a fair amount? Limerick are horrid bullies tho

Ooh, eight all...

Some fun thing to say in the pub while supping on a pint to seem knowledgeable:

- any reference to “wristy hurling”
- “of course that fella didn’t have an arse to his trousers when I was watching him play u21”
- “ah sure it’s like watching the fucking ploughing”
- “clash of the ash” you can only say this unironically if you’re ten drinks in OR Pat Spillane
- “Henry Shefflin isn’t that great”
- “personally I thought DJ (Carey) was better in those mastitis ads than he ever was in the noughties
- “ah you’d be glad to see THEM* get bet all the same, wouldn’t you”

I will update with more as they come to me, I was born the same year as my county won the all Ireland though so you can trust me definitely

* them usually refers to Cork/Dublin/Kilkenny but can also refer to your local rivals from ten yards down the road
