By the logic of this thread shouldn't every manager except Sheedy step down Cody did an outstanding job this year beating Cork and Limerick. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 18/08/2019 18:26:38 2227152 Link
Replying To Benjy1000: "They were far better but Cody tactics second half played into tipps hands and contributed to the hammering." Fair enough. I didn't see the match yet. Still at work. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2113 - 18/08/2019 18:56:53 2227166 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Just Joking of course. I hope I got a ride out of someone. Ha ha ha. In losing I still think Brian Cody did his best ever job of managing. More of a legend in my mind than before. Congratulations to Tipp Seniors and Galway Minors. Bad day for Kilkenny but they'll be back." Joking aside, no. If Eddie had been by his side a couple years( imagining the impossibility that he was already after accumulating his current level of experience(could've, would've, should've, ...if), + a couple yrs w/Brian. In those circumstances, then yes, this or a couple more. On the other hand, the current drought('16-'19) has produced 2 AI Finals appearances. While this is the perfect age profile to hand off I think the narrow description & high bar in KK of an acceptable replacement to Brian make this a hugely complicated task w/the the necessary combination of experience & talent w/which to mine & guide, @ highest levels, the very skillful youth coming through. Not to mention mold the best of the old w/the the new, w/out rewriting the script entirely. Henry will always be there or thereabouts in the discussion. Great duo! Got quite a beating today but congratulations to all the hurlers today. Gowran_Yank (Kilkenny) - Posts: 96 - 18/08/2019 18:59:26 2227169 Link
Brian cody has the right to decide as far as im concerned. Richie hogan should not be sent off. Barrett made the most of it. Like nickey english and silvie back in the day. Barrett tactics are terrible. Richie hogan can hold his head high. A genuine competitor. Sheedy (Galway) - Posts: 107 - 18/08/2019 19:19:23 2227173 Link
Replying To carlovia: "By the logic of this thread shouldn't every manager except Sheedy step down Cody did an outstanding job this year beating Cork and Limerick." Cody got Kilkenny to an All-Ireland Final when they weren't good enough to be there.They might have been better off not being there too because losing an All-Ireland Final by 14 points to your greatest rivals will hurt down by the Nore.The Manager with questions to answer after this year's championship isn't Cody who overachieved with his team but the Limerick Manager John Kiely who lost 3 championship matches with the best team and panel of payers in the country at his disposal. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2156 - 18/08/2019 19:36:12 2227181 Link
Comeon HS problems(noticed my last post wasn't clear & had spelling errors among others issues). SUGGESTIONS: - Fix : quoting problems(new problem) ADD : + 'edit' button + A 'mute poster button(please, we can only ignore Katser so much). If no mute/ban button then why have the moderators done nothing? + A Football, Hurling, Misc. GAA, tag for forum post would be a big help for readers & staff alone. THANK YOU Hoganstand for another year of helping us North American fans in the loop. Great fall, club season. Congrats to Tipp & KK Gowran_Yank (Kilkenny) - Posts: 96 - 18/08/2019 19:37:16 2227182 Link
I hope he stays because I fear with Eddie Brennan they'd win leinster and AI. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 18/08/2019 19:39:32 2227185 Link
Replying To Jack_Goff: "I hope he stays because I fear with Eddie Brennan they'd win leinster and AI." Indeed.When Eddie Brennan was managing Kilkenny's U21s a couple of years ago,they lost to Westmeath in the Leinster championship.The championship should be very open next Summer with a number of teams being in with a chance.Kilkenny under Cody will never be too far away but the team just isn't good enough at the moment and they were found out today. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2156 - 18/08/2019 20:00:38 2227200 Link

Replying To winatallcost: "So you want him to go because you don't like his hat. Ridiculous thread to have up at the moment. If Kilkenny won today there would be separate thread about this year being his greatest achievement. Reality was that referee decision on sending off totally changed what would have been a close game. Cody has class and is the greatest manager in the history of Gaelic games weather people like it or not!" It wasnt the ref who went in to take a lads head off so dont blame the ref. As for Cody ide love to see him go and not cause he is doing a bad job but just for thr novelty factor of seeing KK with someone new Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 18/08/2019 21:28:12 2227254 Link

GOAT Kilkenny shouldn't have been there today. Probably 2/3 better teams. But because of Cody, they got there. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 18/08/2019 22:02:15 2227278 Link

Replying To Breezy: "Ya we should sack the lad who brought us an AI after 45 years and won the league and Munster this year. Cop on lad" Lad.Limerick won U21 All-Irelands in 2015 hammering Wexford and in 2017 comprehensively beating Kilkenny.Kiely has the most talented squad in the country at his disposal yet he lost 3 championship games this Summer.Not nearly good enough and winning the League or even Munster doesn't compensate.Tipp have tonight in the Burlington Clayton hotel the only cup that really matters now in the hurling year. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2156 - 18/08/2019 22:12:39 2227289 Link
