Tommy Murphy Cup

[MrRasherstoyou]

Will it be a battle between Micko & Paudi? Will it become bigger than the Munster Championship? (not difficult)

[sullyschoice]

[Piggy]

a joke of a competition,the powers that be must think up of something else to replace this crock of sh*t

Is Paudi going to waste his time with it?

[thehighfield]

Ask Declan Browne if he thinks the Tommy Murphy cup is a joke

Wasnt the back door supposed to be for the benifit of the weaker counties...not much use if the weakest counties cant avial of it now???

[kerry07]

The weaker counties have only themselves to blame. The back door system was designed to assist them getting a second opportunity in the championship. Unfortunately top avail of the benifit some effort had to be made. Those like Limerick Sligo that put in the effort benifited while the effort was put in.The others Clare Waterford etc never gave it a decent run.They put less in in training terms than some senior clubs. There was no excuse for Waterford's performance last Sunday. Now they crib if some are excluded from the competition and confined to Tommy Murphy. They need to seriously take a look at themselves

[MrRasherstoyou]

Why should all weaker counties be punished?

[ruralgaa]

Think it will be scraped in a few years or sooner.

[kerry07]

Because they are not Dublin Tierney Weakness has nothing to do with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funnily, Clare pushed both Kerry and Cork to late victories during their time under John Kennedy, and beat Westmeath in the qualifiers!!

And eh, Clare won the first Tommy Murphy cup!!

Are you genuinely berating Waterford for Kerry destroying them last week? What are they supposed to do? Turn out and beat the reigining All Ireland champions and the dominant team of the past decade with ease??

They are Waterford - they are always going to struggle against the likes of Kerry. But they are entitled to their day in the championship. Their senior club players are entitled to train hard (which they did) regardless of their ability. Should the FA cup only begin in the forth round in future? Should the Rugby World Cup become a competition for six teams? Do you want every competition to become the joke the All Ireland hurling championship is rapidly becoming where you have 10 teams entering? Teams are entitled to enter - look at Westmeath. Prior to 2000 they were a nothing team and had nothing to look to - perhaps they should have been shown the door back then should they, killing any future hope for Dessie Dolan etc?

Good night Vienna.

I d expect them to score more than 4 points in 70 minutes.I d expect them to convert at least 40% of the scorable chances presented and I use scorable in the restricted sence of what I d expect to score myself. PS That is very restricted these days!

Just as well we got that 5th point v Meath in 01 or else Kerry07 would have us in the Tommy Murphy Cup!!

[kerry07]
