Waterford and Tipperary to take first steps of recovery, tough task for Limerick and the delayed draw

‘Disaster’ and ‘patronising’ but is it finally time to introduce a two-tiered All-Ireland football championship?

    Limerick and Kilkenny have had both their matches on sky already and there next game is on sky as well, a bit unfair that.

    Lions and Limerick on Sky next Sat – neither of which will go well ( in all probability )

    @John Ryan: Its flip of a coin for me.Confidence is fairly low in Kilkenny at the moment……and when you see management putting the new (injured) full back and sub goalkeeper up in the forward line you just know that things are going badly wrong.Limerick have a great chance

    Perfect game for Kilkenny. A win against Westmeath for example wouldn’t have done anything for Kilkenny, but beating a decent team like Limerick, which they should do, will do enough for their confidence to make them a threat again further down the line.

    @An_Beal_Bocht: Well they’ve lost their last two games to Wexford, hard to argue that confidence isn’t low after that. We’ll see what sort of performance they can come up with Saturday, should be interesting.

    @Johnny: I dunno, this makes it a long year for Kk which they’re not used to, with a lot of competitive games to get to Croke park again, and they don’t seem to have the strength in depth. Next round will be tougher again

    Love Sky coverage. So much more in depth and analytic than RTE. More Sky coverage needed.
