"It'd be like something you'd stir a bowl of porridge with or something" Cyril was in great form chatting about Darragh McCarthy's tiny hurl. Jimmy Doyle was like a dog with a bone taking frees 😀

The football show is OUT NOW ahead of a very exciting R7 - Blocking 2 point attempts - Simplify kickouts during momentum swings - Can Dublin win by 4 to save themselves - Can Cork beat Tyrone to get promoted - Niall Morgan issues with management - Wexford surprising everyone - Could Carlow lose 3 in a row

Donie Smith made a good point about this on Sunday night Roscommon players were told to dive on the boot of a player shooting on the arc, worse case the dummy would bring them inside for a 1 pointer Interesting one. Unfortunately for Ryan, Rob was shooting from the 45 🤣

@jimmyjoycelad @PMernagh @Labharx You're putting the burden on him. I've never seen stats on it. So it's an opinion. You disagree and that's fine. Not sure why you're taking it so seriously

@SmallerFishGAA @PMernagh @Labharx Hayes is the one making the claim. Burden is on him to prove it. Hurling is also an outlier in that in golf, ice hockey and field hockey the front hand goes on top (so right hand for a left handed strike). Hard to imagine they're all wrong and Hayes is right

“It’s more natural and it's more accurate" Damien Hayes doesn’t think left sided free takers with right hand on top are as accurate as right sided free takers with right hand on top

@PMernagh @jimmyjoycelad @Labharx You have no stats to say he's wrong but you're saying he's talking shite. Do you not see the irony?

@jimmyjoycelad @Labharx @SmallerFishGAA Exactly why he was talking shite. Provide the stats and at least there'd be an argument, and even then free taking is an individual thing so even then the stats would only partially tell the tale.

Jack O'Connor - I'll see your 1-08 in 15 minutes and raise you 1-04 in 90 seconds Excellent Sean Fennell 👏

@Labharx @PMernagh Left hand on top from the right side, same thing

@PMernagh @SmallerFishGAA TBF he is holding it left hand on top in the pic! Damien’s point is correct IMO - left sided with right hand on top is the hurling equivalent of “cack handed “ golf grip ( disclaimer …I’m not a golfer !)

The hurling show is OUT NOW - Free takers - open side v cross body - Darragh McCarthy's tiny hurl & grip - Galway young lads should be excited - Test of Galway's system - Kilkenny & Tipp don't do dead rubbers - Offaly protecting against low morale - Oisin O’ Donoghue wing back

“It’s very, very clever by Limerick. It’s completely on purpose” Brian Carroll explaining why Limerick’s two man full forward line of Aaron Gillane & Shane O’Brien make the same runs to the same side

It's a very low key final day of the hurling league unfortunately. Only Limerick v Galway has something riding on it and Limerick hammered them at home last year Relegation is decided already. If Dublin beat Carlow then relegation and promotion is decided in 1B

@PMernagh i can see from your profile pic why you would say that 🤣

@SmallerFishGAA The greatest load of shite i have ever listened to

"Sometimes i think the advantage has gone on too long, almost like rugby" Kieran McGeeney has a problem with the referees interpretation of the advantage rule and i agree. Pulling frees back long after the foul happens is frustrating.

Hearing there's trouble in the Tyrone camp is no surprise considering how they're playing

6am, Dingle - Ireland's earliest St Patrick's Day parade. The pre-dawn tradition dates back to the Land War of the 1870s when British authorities outlawed public gatherings between sunrise and sunset. The people of Dingle found a way...

Season 5 Episode 1 of Hurling and Farming is OUT NOW We talk free taking, Galway young lads, Andy Comerford comments, refereeing & trampish hurling AND the weather, straw bedding & great price for Hoggetts Always a great laugh with Damien

“It’s frowned upon to do what he did, kind of” We spoke about Sean O’Shea’s spectacular 2 pointer fly kick off the ground It’s not something you’d ever advise a young player to do

Spectacular catch from Sean Walsh - superb
