Hurling (Sport)

Baile funk would be my pick tbh

(soz)

Put a guy up for a few nights and all he wants to do is slag the town off

:)

Work related Q: anyone here familiar with tehF0rtyTw0.ie? They'd like an English translation of my piece (for an outsiders view). Happy to oblige, but wondering if I can ask for a (translation) fee. If they are a commercial org or just some public initiative without a dime. Will prob do it anyway, but learned the hard way in the past of doing work for nowt.

F33 sorted.

Piece is up! Lol at the comments.

42 is a fairly big sports site in Ireland, possibly the biggest website beyond older media, it's connected to Daily Edge I think.

There's some very irate Tipp fans over Seamus Callanan not getting hurler of the year

seems the player awards are now just a pat on the head for the team that lost.

Don't know how it was in previous years, but that seems otm for this year.

(do we not have a rugby thread on here? happened to watch last nights second half seeing you tweeting abt it Ronan, that was fantastic!)

swap ye so

“And they have this thing called a ‘change up’, when a player is not on form, not scoring. The manager will call a ‘change up’, and basically that player has to go out and ruin himself for the night, then come back the next day, with the attitude of you just don’t care.

“So they send him out, drink 20 pints, go off with a couple of women, whatever he wants. And come back the next day. That’s the way they live. It’s the culture, what they believe in, letting off steam like that. I don’t know if they look at the science behind it.”

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.
