America was the same with the cricket aiui, squeezed out by baseball and nationalism.

Any suggestions for pubs in North / Central London where i can get a decent lunch and watch the All Ireland final? Thinking 12 Pins but it's a bit of a dive. Porterhouse might be a better alternative.

I don't really follow hurling but I do know that Kilkenny is supposed to be virtually untouchable yet Tipperary have managed to beat them in the final before. Would like to see the clash.
In front of the Cork airport a couple of years ago I took these photos -

never watched games in central ldn shari...i watch gaa in a pub on broadway market called the perseverance...it doesn't do food but there are lots of restaurants around. is a really good place to watch sport and generally not too busy.

i remember you watching it last year.
Klkenny are perennial favourites, getting beaten in the final is a bad year for them
― lolled @ 'timeboom' (darraghmac), Monday, 29 August 2011 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
i thought as of last year it's kinda felt that tipperary are better than kilkenny. haven't seen any hurling this year tho, watched a lot of dublin's football gams so far.
― LocalGarda, Monday, 29 August 2011 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
games...
donegal do not play 'great stuff' imo
― lolled @ 'timeboom' (darraghmac), Monday, 29 August 2011 15:08 (twelve years ago) link
"the game from hell", colm o'rourke said. kerry will beat dublin easily imo but it's nice to have a final to look forward to at least.

xxxxxxp, thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

Tipp are a solid outfit, but much as I hate them, I can only see Kilkenny taking it.
Sadly, I have a job interview the next morning so I'm going to probably stay home and torrent the thing. I can't believe RTE will make the Toy Show available outside Ireland, but not this!

missed this due to hospital visit to ms mac's granny. Anyone catch it?
― even blue cows get the girls (darraghmac), Sunday, 4 September 2011 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
yeah. the scoreline flattered tipp tbh. kilkenny defence was outstanding and tommy walsh the motm. dont think tipp got a point from open play in the first half.
― Michael B, Sunday, 4 September 2011 16:31 (twelve years ago) link
ok, from score i thought it might have been close but analysis seems agreed that the cats had them locked down

indeed. im sick of kerry winning the damn thing. i hope its a good game!
― Michael B, Sunday, 18 September 2011 12:18 (twelve years ago) link
wish i was at home for it, have to settle for watching it in a pub, possibly on my own as my friends who like gaa are going to it.

there isnt a hell of a lot of tactics going on in hurling either tbf
― Michael B, Sunday, 18 September 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
Football is incredibly tactical, darragh you're wrong. It's too tactical if anything. Up the dubs!!! Would kill to be in fairview now.

GAA Hurling Championship Semi Finals
Cork V Galway
Tipperary v Kilkenny
Kilkenny are not looking as imperious as they have in previous years. They were beaten by Galway in the Munster Final and looked a bit slack for the majority of the match against Limerick (who are starting to look like a decent team again) but ended up winning by 3 goals in the end.
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Sunday, 29 July 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
Would love to see limerick win an all ireland, for my parents' sake.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Monday, 30 July 2012 09:54 (eleven years ago) link
How are Cork looking at the moment?
― Temporarily Famous In The Czech Republic (ShariVari), Monday, 30 July 2012 09:56 (eleven years ago) link
I didnt see the match where they beat Waterford yesterday but it was a close game apparently. They've looked good from what I've seen but I dont think they'll beat Galway.
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Monday, 30 July 2012 11:52 (eleven years ago) link
Kilkenny v Galway in the final today. Donegal and Mayo in the football final. could it be a double for the WESHT this year?
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Sunday, 9 September 2012 10:15 (eleven years ago) link
right wing back for Kilkenny Tommy Walsh might be my favourite athlete on the planet right now

challenge tommy walsh
This is powerful shtuff from galway
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 September 2012 15:04 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, Galway have been great. Kilkenny coming back into it towards the end though.
― Temporarily Famous In The Czech Republic (ShariVari), Sunday, 9 September 2012 15:09 (eleven years ago) link
that was some goal by galway

how do i watch this
― catbus otm (gbx), Sunday, 9 September 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
Drama!
Really pleased Canning tied it up. He didn't deserve to be on a losing team. Shefflin was immense though.
― Temporarily Famous In The Czech Republic (ShariVari), Sunday, 9 September 2012 16:02 (eleven years ago) link
Fancy Kilkenny a bit more in the replay. Very nervy match though, missed chances all over the place.
― gyac, Sunday, 9 September 2012 16:05 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I agree, after the match galway looked like they believed their chance had gone
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 September 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
so i'm watching the galway killkenny game from a couple months ago (leinster senior final??) and my god this sport is fucking savage, i love it
― catbus otm (gbx), Sunday, 9 September 2012 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
Was it 13 wides Galway had this game? I can see why they felt like that; they could have beaten Kilkenny but they allowed them back in it.
― gyac, Sunday, 9 September 2012 18:41 (eleven years ago) link
two in injury time alone. not taking away from their first half tho.
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 September 2012 19:37 (eleven years ago) link
gbx- tbh, it's pretty tough to find streams (well, short of lolpaying) but if i can find anything out before the replay in three weeks i'll post. Same for the football final, tho as i've said above the gaa footy is cloggy enough compared to hurling.
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
Was watching a great stream yesterday. I'll get gyac to find the link.
― Temporarily Famous In The Czech Republic (ShariVari), Monday, 10 September 2012 10:57 (eleven years ago) link
I'll post it for you next time gbx! It was just a flash stream but it was good enough quality - no pop-ups or delays.
― gyac, Monday, 10 September 2012 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
i think i'll be away too so that'd be great
