‘O hAilpín was like a brick wall’; Lohan’s time-off masterclass | The Throw-In Hurling Show

John Mullane, Eddie Brennan and Michael Verney teamed up again after a pair of quarter-finals that failed to get the juices flowing - but memories of food poisoning from years gone by came back in the meantime.
On the pitch, Eddie wonders why Cork and Dublin seemed to play with their ‘heads still on the pillow,’ while John explains his belief that Cork are best when they have been written off. The lads also break down the impact of Clare's time off after their Munster final defeat.
Plus - we rank the four semi-finalists.

I was at the match, Dublin were in the game for 15mins then when Cork got 7+ points ahead they kept them at arms length while in 2nd gear.

This has been the weirdest hurling year I have ever seen, I never saw as many matches that were expected to display all the artistry and athleticism of the game that turned out to be total flops.

Mullane played a game a week after almost dying on the field from swallowing his tongue, the worst belt I’ve ever seen or heard
Absolute warrior

Michael, Great effort!
Cork has talent in abundance but is soft and needs a work ethic.
