[Headless]

You might not see it but we do! See you in another couple of weeks.

I have set myself a calendar reminder.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Congratulations on making finals Old Boys!

You’re welcome

Good luck to the Demons as well.

I see that the Rats almost stole your spoon but you managed to hold on to it in the end!

See you next year Bombers you're due some luck with the match sim at this stage.

Maybe they should try playing better?

Maybe they should try playing better?

Their new captain we sent over to them should help in that regard!

Oh! Who did you send over?

Navy blue sounds goods to me.

Not being a touch cheeky, here, are you, Bagger?

Oh pick whatever you like as long as it's not black and white stripes.

Well i'm a passionate supporter of Cork in that mate, although supporting them can be a frustrating experience at times!

We have 7 all Irelands in it, which leave us in fourth place behind Galway with their 9 titles. Dublin have 31 and Kerry have 38 titles.

So if you want to support a team that wins all the time either Dublin or Kerry is the team to pick.

To be frank with you the sport has become bit of a poor spectacle over the past decade. There is new rules being introduced next year to try and encourage more positive attacking play. So hopefully that should make a difference.

Of our national sports hurling is way more fun to watch imo. Cork would be one of the traditional powerhouses in that.

In spite of that though we haven't won an all Ireland since 2005, although we narrowly lost the final this year!

If constantly losing finals is your thing then go for Mayo. They haven't won an all Ireland since 1951, and have lost all eleven of their all Ireland final appearance's since!

Thanks for the reply mate.

What has made it a poorer spectacle? Is it just defensive play over attacking?
Have seen a bit of hurling before, great sport. Darragh Joyce's brother plays in one of the teams I believe.
I'll give it a look though. I need something to watch and I am not watching cricket. It is like watching grass grow but worse.

Overly negative and defensive tactics have been pretty prevalent in more recent years.

The final this year was a very poor spectacle. The new rules should help improve things hopefully.

Sounds similar to what has happened in the AFL then.
I did go and watch the last international rules at Subi which was a great spectacle. Fyfe at his best is always a good watch IMO.

Did we actually win? What's gone wrong in the pst two weeks?

Thanks for the week Old Boys. Good luck next week.

 

[Mrs Turbo]

She'll be pissed off, she wanted to go lol.

Indeed - I was already there in my mind!

I recommend internet prawn, the milkshakes seem to bring all the boys to the yard.
