The Man Behind The Wire
So The Man Behind The Wire finds us nauseating, or so he says in this week's Tribune. He better get his sick-bucket out. I don't see any critiscism of Ross Connor on the Under 21 football thread on this site, so I presume he means Hogansh**e.com. Enough said. However, putting your name to your artic...

Offaly v Cork
Played at what you’d call a competitive league pace, we had a good hours hurling in Birr yesterday, which could have gone either way in the wind-up. Firstly, I don’t like Cork any more. I don’t like the way Sully bullies the referee at every decision. Ditto the way Donal Beag bullies the umpires at ...

Hurling
Had posted a spiff on yesterday's match on the thread about the forthcoming league and then I saw this. Sorry.

'Welsh' Cup yesterday
Watched this match yesterday, which, I must say, was a most enjoyable, lively affair, with a good standard of hurling on view. Both teams started at a hectic pace, with Offaly scoring readily during the first 25 minutes, with a supply of low, good ball into Carroll, Bergin & Egan, at which stage...

Re: Walsh Cup - Antrim Match Review
I'm sure some out of Tresurer, Plain of the Herbs et al were around, so feel free to put your more cultured hurling spin on matters, but that was my summation, or as best as I can do in the 20 mins I have here in a public Library .... :D Afraid not LS, I let the side down and went to Leopardstown i...

New hurling format
Hmmm, I dunno. The purpose of the weak group was to protect a weaker (or newly promoted) club from getting hockeyed by Birr. Birr could now be drawn with, for example, Clara and Killavilla. The new format is not going to solve the problem the committee set out to solve, in that, if there is a repeat...

Seasons greetings.
I just want to wish all contributors here a happy and peaceful Christmas.
I've enjoyed the debate here in the last year, hopefully 2006 will have as many twists and turns as 2005 had for the green, white and gold, but come to a happier end.

Kilmurray
Does "Last year I listened to too many people," include the fella who was on hand in row A to inform Kilmurray how much time was left in the Laois match?

Leagues
Where did you see that re: next years NFL. Only don't say Martin Breheny wrote it. He had some dreary article saying a division 1, 2, 3 & 4 was the only logical way forward. When the fixtures were announced, it was stated that divisions 1 & 2 would not be re-drawn until next year, and would ...

Forthcoming leagues
Something that hasn't been mentioned in any of the papers is, how many qualify for the knockout stages of the NHL? 6 or 8? How is relegation decided. Bottom two in each group play off? Or bottom 3? Draw and fixtures look attractive, even cork looks 'do-able'. We've avoided KK and Tipp, our two bogey...

Bogman
As far as I know, Bogman, if Gary is reported for striking with the hurl, he will suffer a three month suspension. BUT December and January don't count for suspensions, so it could be early April before he can take the field again. However, if reported for "rough play" he would get 4 weeks...

Hurling draw
So, it's Laois, then Wexford. First reaction is one of relief to avoid Kilkenny. As regards Laois, the QF 2 years ago was in Tullamore because of a home-and-away arrangement dating back to 1980. Does this mean next years episode will be in Portlaoise? Assuming a win here, a return to Nowlan Park see...

Mention of which, does anyone have the line-out of that Birr CS All-Ireland winning side of 1986? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

County final
Sunday's final will be won on hunger, by birr who have it inabundance. Revenge for last year, the ongoing Crinkill saga, and a new management and fresh approach are all factors which weren't there last year. Interesting to see where Coolderry site Joe Brady. On the evidence of the Kinnitty game, I'd...

Coolderry
An interesting point before next Sunday is that the oldest on the Coolderry starting 15 in the semi-final was 24!! (Murray & Paddy Teehan) Seamus Tooher (a big loss IMO) and Pat Connors havn't played this year, and Eoin Kennedy and Dermot Dooley didn't appear in the semi-final. Perhaps gives a c...
