3 Hurling clubs in longford ,2 Hurling clubs in Leitrim 4 Hurling clubs in Louth 4 Hurling clubs in Cavan 2 Mens Hurling Clubs in Fermanagh with little to no underage hurling in all these counties ,There is far more underage football played in school & underage in kilkenny than there is hurling in these counties mentioned
1 Senior hurling club in Fermanagh, 3 in Monaghan. It's a disgrace that Kilkenny don't field a football team, as you said I guarantee there is a great pick of footballers in a county like Kilkenny than there is hurlers in Monaghan
Exactly, nonstop whinging from football people.
It's easier to develop football than it is hurling. All a club needs to get started in football are footballs. In hurling you need sliotars, helmets and hurleys. Kilkenny have 0 excuse
The Railyard chap that said Tipperary were as bad as Kilkenny at football, (12:00) Tipp admittedly were far from competitive in the noughties, but we were never as bad at football as Kilkenny were and I say this with all due respect to the lads who line out for Kilkenny. Long before Tipp's back-to-back promotions in 2008 and 09, Tipp was still making the odd Munster final. We drew the Munster final v Cork in 2002 before losing the replay and 5 years prior we were conned by a dodgy goal against Kerry in Tralee. We won the Tommy Murphy Cup in 2005. Our minors feat Declan Browne got to an All Ireland semi-final in 1995. We played Division 1 football back in the early 70s. While not world beaters, we always were competitive at whatever level we were at.
@Cormac White of course, I'm just referring to the era where Kilkenny played Tipp in the football League.
I remember in the a league game in Ennis in 1987 they lost to the hosts by 6-25 to no score. Best remembered for the fact that the bus driver had to tog out so they'd have a full compliment of players. Mind you this was also the era of the smoking subs, as highlighted by the Sunday Game, so maybe things were done differently back then,
The basis of getting a reasonable panel together is difficult in Kilkenny because you need a series of competing clubs to form that, the skills can be honed but you need a batch of numbers.
I played against Kilkenny in the 1st round of the minor championship in 2010, they didn't score but they gave it everything for the 60. They got a 15 yard free in front of the posts near enough the end of the game and the fella taking the free kicked it about 20 yards wide. I can remember the one and only time ever that I wanted the opposition to score. Anyway, I got talking to lad I was marking mid-way through the second half and he tells me that was only playing because he hadn't made the hurling squad and it was mostly u17's and lads minor age in the same boat as himself.
It's a disgrace that the sport isn't even being remotely supported. Fair play to the people putting in the graft up there, hopefully the GAA and you're own county board start doing the same !
That's just how it is Hurling in Kerry ain't much better it's somewhat played but clearly not even close to being supported I think the bigger shame is how most counties do not play hurling at all never mind competitively
Aye but in Kerry like many others which aren't hurling strongholds they promote the sport and have representation at all levels
A Kerry team was in the All-Ireland Intermediate club final this year, they have been the runner's up in the Joe McDonagh Cup in the 2020/2021. As recent as 2018 they won the All-Ireland B U-21 championship.They would often be the best of the rest.
@@liamtyther676 thats not the big one tho Liam Mccarthy
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Never said it was but they are trying to achieve as much as they can. They have been in Division 1B in recent years but just can't compete. This year was the first year they ever beat Tipperary at senior hurling, even if it was pre-season competition with Tipp putting out a second string team. In Shane Conway they have a forward who probably would make the line up of a lot of the other teams. Never forget they did win the big one before :)
Very well put together...
Nice piece of work Eoin! 👏
Good video. Would love Kilkenny to get back into the football
They play in the British Championship because otherwise they'd have no games against the London junior side and the rest of British counties
Myself and three friends were at Wexford v Kilkenny NFL 1989-1990 season. Match at Skeoughvosteen. We hammered them (4-11 to 0-2 or thereabouts) and invaded the pitch afterwards.
Paddy McGonnigley was a great footballer back in London with TGG and London in the 00s. He won a national league with Donegal in 07 then. Sound Fanad man too.
Covid what is really going on?
=======================
Covid is the SARS-CoV-2 Virus
But the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been purified AND isolated AND genome sequenced end-to-end anywhere in the world.
Pointless having a Test Swab as there is nothing to compare the test result too.
PCR Test cannot identify a Virus.
PCR Test is testing for nucleic acid which we all have in us.
PCR Test cycled 45 times amplifies the sampe more than 1 trillion times.
PCR is a process, not a test. "PCR does not verify any disease." Kary Mullis inventor of PCR.
All PCR test results are invalid.
Lateral Flow Antigen Test cannot identify a Virus.
All Lateral Flow Antigen Test results are invalid.
The only way to identify an individual Virus is a Spectroscopy Test.
However as the SARS-CoV-2 Virus has not been isolated anywhere in the world there is nothing to compare the Swab Test sample too.
Thus pointless having a Spectroscopy Test.
Conclusion -- There is no SARS-CoV-2 airborne Virus.

Bio-agent is a protein that will change the DNA of every person Test Swabbed and/or Injected.
People must wake up to what the real agenda is with the airborne Virus that has not been isolated anywhere in the world!

-------
Face Mask Contaminated -- Graphene
Hand Gel Contaminated - Graphene
5G signal can activate the Graphene and shred your lungs from within.
Face Mask is filling peoples lungs with Graphene.
5G is a Dual Communication Network and Weapon System.
5G signal can be focused on a defined area called Beam Forming for example the brain and/or the lungs where the Graphene will accumulate within the body.
Thus Graphene on the Test Swab and in the Injection and the Contaminated Face Mask enters the body either the brain and/or the lungs and can be activated by the 5G signal at any time.
Tragically activating the Graphene left inside the body will kill the person.
Is this all part of the Depopulation plan?
-------

Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Cannot provide the exact details of what it is or my comment will be auto-deleted.
Primer and Catalyst.
Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon on the Test Swab and in the Injection is the Primer.
Spike Protein in the Common Cold Virus is the Catalyst threat will activate the Pathogenic Protein Bioweapon.
Nasal Spray Contaminated With The Common Cold?
The Common Cold is one of the group of approximately 55 Coronaviruses.
When people catch the Common Cold over the autumn and winter 2021-2022 Cytokine Storm death within 28 days.
People must understand how the mRNA escapes the protective lipid once in the body, for the mRNA to attach itself to the ribosomes.
That's a rather important part.
If mRNA gets chemically damaged in any way, it can possibly tell your body to make the wrong protein.

Covid Rules Are An Exercise In Grammar Not Law
All mandates are only legal if the person or persons being mandated against agree to it if not it is completely illegal.
Mandates are only policies they are not laws, they cannot be enforced using law enforcement
That's why when you get your vaccine they ask if you are there off your own free will
Mandatory, Compulsory, Policy, Rule and Legislation are not Statutory Laws merely an exercise in grammar.

Contact what used to be PHE with a FOI request, they will tell you they have no information on it.
It has already been stated by at least one therapy manufacturer ,Moderna, that they never received the full genome sequence of this virus and had to guess the full sequence from a data base on a computer.
Just because there is a sequence for a virus does not prove that it causing illness in people.
That is the ultimate point of isolating a virus correctly and has never been done.

Accurately detailed, though you should also add that, "Airborne" is not even possible for rona...
Sunlight alone neutralises 99.99+% of all known viral entities upon immediate exposure, there are many other factors that also cause neutralisation but the sun is the most predominant,, (In layman..) all viruses can be traced to a small and very specific set of family viral entities, each family having certain fixed characteristics of which regardless of natural mutagenic possess can 'never' change or exceed its original base family characteristics,..
Of the apparent hundreds of thousands of "viruses" documented, there are at most just three to four family viral entities that have allegedly demonstrated the potential ability to go "Airborne", they are INCREDIBLY rare, they require a very specific set of environmental and opportune conditions to do so,..
And Rona is absolutely and demonstrably NOT a member of any such family with the characteristics to do so.
Rona loves to mutate, it's what that family is most well known for, but is it known for being deadly (No!), can it become more than it is.. (No!), is it a member of any of the viral families with the characteristics to become (A) Deadly and (B) Airborne,.. No! and No!
In fact the Rona family has been existing symbiotically with mankind for many thousands of years (Some would even say millions!) and modern clinical practices figured out around a century ago how to treat it,.. Just like any other common cold,.. Vitamins, Fluids and Rest!
Though the above has been documented and taught within the field of Germ Theory for almost three hundred years, one is now suddenly a "conspiracy theorists" for acknowledging it, regardless of ones professional experience or credentials,...
If one does not pretend that nearly three hundred years of documented Germ Theory has been rewrote in less than three months, just to suit a political narrative, then one is being swiftly censored.
It is good to see that the general public are finally doing their research and discovering what none bought off and corrupted experts have been silenced for trying to say/inform(!)
Thank you for doing the research and for being the voice of countless silenced professionals and experts.
Thank you!

No team should be allowed to compete in one code if they can't field a county team in both codes. That might wake up a few.
Good luck considering most counties don't play Hurling at senior level
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Every single county in Ireland plays Hurling at Senior Level. They play in different championships, yet they still field senior championship teams.

It's the exact reverse up here in Cavan. No one plays or talks about hurling. The gaa clubs here need a big kick up the backside, poorly run and the majority of them won't let youngsters play hurling.
Kilkenny treat football the same way as about 5/6 counties treat hurling.
Because there are so many who treat hurling with the same disdain, they can compete with each other
What are the 5/6 counties that don't field a senior hurling team in Ireland?
@@JordanBPeterson69 that is not what I said
@@petermernagh9991 that's what 'the same disdain' would look like.
We'll start trying again when Wicklow Carlow Longford and Westmeath have more Leinster titles than us in football
Railyard are not the only all football club in Kilkenny. Kilmoganny and Muckalee are all football clubs.
I'm from armagh and I play hurling and gaelic
No reason why Kilkenny can't go into division 4 and build for a few years.. only the very best can make the county hurling team and it is a fantastic alternative opportunity to play senior inter county.. like Limerick footballers, they have gone quietly about their business and are now in division 2 while the hurlers have been firmly in the spotlight.. Kerry hurling has come on in leaps in recent years so no reason why Kilkenny football can't with some support from the county board
Kieran, I would also agree with you as well.

Soccer is only a training game or something to do when the hurling is not on ,so to be below that is bad

@@matthewk8593 Because it was mentioned by a lad on the street that Gaelic football was actually below soccer in kilkenny. I have family in kilkenny but i am from sligo hardly hurling snob territory
When are you doing a feature on one of the (many) egregiously poor hurling counties?
Maybe when another county don't field a senior hurling team in the league for 10 years.
@@JordanBPeterson69 Don't be ridiculous. Vast majority of football counties would be beaten by cricket scores if they attempt to play hurling.
@@brennanro What are you talking about? What football counties don't have a hurling team in the national league? None, Kilkenny are the only county doing this with football. That is why OTB are doing a feature on them, not because they are poor.
@@JordanBPeterson69 So what football counties compete for the Liam McCarthy cup? Counties are fully entitled to prioritise resources into whatever sport they like under the umbrella of the Gaelic Athletic Association, be it football, hurling, handball or rounders, without being brow-beaten by those with an agenda. Maybe a disproportionate amount of funding into football in the county - like Dublin received - would get the results you want.
@@brennanro we arent talking about the Liam McCarthy. You're feeling hard done by that Kilkenny are being exposed for their attitude to football and wondering why another county doesn't get the spotlight instead. The answer is because no other county treats hurling or football as badly as Kilkenny treats football, they are unique, that is why there is a feature on them.
The 'win at all costs' mentality has led some people to believe that you can't win at one sport, without sacrificing competitiveness at the other (even at club level). Clubs like Slaughtneil & Loughmore have shown that this isn't the case
Must be a slow news week.
The Kilkenny Co Board seem to be the biggest culprits. They clearly have no development plan and no interest in football. I think Croke Park needs to get involved in such matters. Any funding given to such counties should be given based on it being allocated to both codes.
It's not acceptable that a Co Board can decide to kill one of the codes in the county. Other strong hurling counties have made great strides in recent years in relation to football, Clare and Tipp for example.
What Kilkenny and other such counties are doing is actually a form of cheating. They are abolishing one code in the county to give themselves an advantage over other counties that are promoting both.
Eamonn, I would agree with you their as well. I think lazy attitude in Kilkenny county board and like one guy said their interview , their snobbish attitude in Kilkenny county board.
Practically every club in Kilkenny field a football team you can’t say the same for numerous so called football counties fielding hurling teams ! It beggars belief we have the greatest game in the world in hurling and a large amount of the country refuse to even try play it
@@brianfitzpatrick9949 I agree. I think the GAA shoud bring in strict rules in order to develop both codes in counties. They are far too content with the status quo. As long as the usual hurling heavyweights provide a decent TV product, they'll be happy enough.
People forget that handball and rounders were also supposed to be part of the grouping of Gaelic games, but it became just football and hurling. We are not a million miles away from it becoming just football.
A few diehards in Monaghan Leitrim Fermanagh keep the game alive in spite of their county boards not because of it ! I’d much prefer if every club in those counties played hurling like every club in Kilkenny plays football and if they didn’t bother fielding a county team but gave the youngsters in those counties the chance to play the best game in the world
Hurling isn't the greatest game in the world. You can barely even see the ball when watching it, that's why I don't watch it. I would say it isn't pleasant to play either with the hits you would get with the sticks.
Starving any county, and the players that affects of access to any Gaelic games goes completely against the ethos of the GAA but it’s something we’ve become very use to. Ulster Hurling is a primary example. The Ulster council allowed the Provincial Championship to fade out of existence, Antrim being forced in to another Province altogether but denying Derry, Down, etc of that chance. It’s no good for anyone. GAA needs a complete overhaul, members devote hard earned cash and time for what???
Railyard is not the only football club in Kilkenny
U tell them hunty
They didn't say it was
What a snobbish attitude the cats have .
I have to agree with you their as well. If the Kilkenny county board got act together, they have Kilkenny Gaelic football team if they wanted to. Look at Waterford, Wicklow , Leitrim and carlow it's not as if they've winning county titles every year.
Manager: 'It's not my problem'. That's your problem there. Have some pride and get into Div 4 . It's also not the All Ireland without Kilkenny really, is it?
Just to be on a serious note, I thought it was a pit harsh not having the Kilkenny Gaelic footballers in the league. That would be like not having a New Zealand International soccer team. Gaelic football isn't rocket science, I can't see why the GAA at least let Kilkenny footballers back in the league. I'm sure their talented Gaelic footballers in Kilkenny without knowing it.
How does a team continuously getting beaten by 40+ points, serve the league?
They would just get destroyed every single game
@@davidmorrissey5075 , It's getting right structure in place for the Kilkenny Gaelic footballers. You at others team's in Lenister, like Wicklow or Carlow ect, ect, ect. It's not like they're winning Lenister title every year now either.
@@cormacmurphy3384 , But I forgot to say as well, it's lazy and snobbish attitude from the Kilkenny county board. They bring outside coaches and managers. Basically bring in a new structure.
They can't be much worse than Waterford surely
Fair play to KK, hurling should be given priority within the GAA.
Ridiculous attitude. Both games should be given the same amount of attention. Not one over the other. I say that as a Tipp man.
@@rosiesdewband1353 I agree, it should be balanced but it isn't. Kk are doin to Gball what most of the gaa does to hurling and you call it ridiculous...... So if gaa can itself be more pro Gball well, I don't see why some cant be more pro hurling. As Liam Griffin calls hurling withing the gaa.... "its the apartheid game".......nd he would know more than most.......
I don't believe either should be prioritised, but Croke Park needs to take action against counties who decide to abolish either code. It's not on.
John Glennon , That's like saying New Zealand shouldn't have International soccer team or Brazil shouldn't have International rugby team.
I am a hurling snob and I agree with not fielding a football team in Kilkenny, this sport is beneath me.
I don't agree with you, because that's like saying New Zealand shouldn't have a International soccer team or Brazil shouldn't have Rugby team. Where the sence that James Harrison.

300th like
Hurling is way worse nearly all counties play football competitively while the most of Monaghan ,Leitrim ,Sligo ,Longford or Fermanagh never touched a Hurley in their life .
'Hurling people' have a strange insecurity in that they feel the need to run-down other sports. You rarely get this with fans of other sports, who generally have an appreciation of a few different sports.
Not fielding a football team allows kk to devote its finances to hurling and gives the hurlers a unique advantage over other counties.
Slot of cork don't care about football either. We have an ok dude because of numbers but the passion isn't there like it is for hurling.
Kerry's a far bigger county so the comparison is lazy (c. 5x the population). All it does is highlight the extreme success of the Kilkenny hurlers coming from such a small grouping. Kilkenny's success is also far broader than Kerry's going down through the gradings and consistently successful within the club setup.
I don't know where you get your figures but you're well off. Kilkenny has ~100000 people, Kerry has ~150000 people. It's a fair comparison, KK county board are a disgrace, 2 cities outside of the country are better represented that KK are at football
@@jordanclerkin1998 Population numbers were for the city, which I noticed after I commented so that's fair. Beyond that the KK comparison to Kerry is more than fair. Kerry has been in the shadows for some time now, barely competing within a narrow band across an inferior and deteriorating sport. The KK county board reflects the county, no one cares about football, it is boring.
@@shaneoballs Your attitude proves what's wrong with KK and its people, they think the sport is beneath them. Leitrim has 1/3 the population that KK has, yet at least they field a team in both codes. KK county board should be fined for not fielding a team in each codes, its a disgrace
@@jordanclerkin1998 you should petition Central Council.
@@jordanclerkin1998 they should fix the game to make it more attractive to young KK players. There is zero interest outside of a small pocket because people don’t have an interest playing it. It is a flawed game of hand passing that they need to structurally fix. Hard to field a team when there is little interest
This is sad. Putting all your eggs in one basket.
The slant of this piece was set from the very start by talking to people who had no clue about the Gaa in Kilkenny let alone football. The interviewer also argued a factual point from Christy re hurling in kerry or many other counties for that matter In other words its a report set out to be biased.
That aside, there is no hiding from the facts of the poor relation of Gaa in Kilkenny. But it has to be NO club in Kilkenny is innocent of failing to promote it. NO Club! The report misses a lot of truths
Finally where was this reporting team pre covid when Kilkenny were making strides to promote the game underage and returned to the Leinster Minor championship led by a hurling legend DJ Carey. Even beat Waterford in an Under16 Manning Cup match.
As someone who has been involved in both boys and girls football in Kilkenny the real truth is somewhere between but maybe OTB might bring a camera down to a Kilkenny football match. They actually do exist and not just in one club.
Factually a Kerry team was in the All-Ireland Intermediate club final this year, they have been the runner's up in the Joe McDonagh Cup in the 2020/2021. As recent as 2018 they won the All-Ireland B U-21 championship. It's a bad example to use Kerry. It is fair to say that most of the hurling is concentrated in the North of the county. They would often be the best of the rest. But with a small pool of talent to draw from and the better athletes drawn into football e.g. Paul Galvin, Eammon Fitzmaurice, the progress is slow and at the moment it hard to for them compete with the Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, Cork, Waterford etc. They are fortunate to have Shane Conway whom is a top hurler (Colleges player of the year in 2019.
Hi Seamus, cheers for getting in touch and would argue that there was no slant on this. Everyone I spoke to is involved with Kilkenny at some level, and I did make an effort to get opinion of county board.
Just FYI - we did cover the DJ thing. We interviewed him when he was over the minors: czcams.com/video/TLWQOn3bnPI/video.html
His minor team has since been disbanded, and according to co board statement there is not underage county teams. Hard to put a positive slant on that fact; but I do hear you and I would do another piece down the line, 100%
What? Who are the people being interviewed that are there to put a slant on the internal working of the gaa in Kilkenny because the people who were interviewed in Mcdonagh are a prime example of the real prejudice that’s in the county at grass roots level. These are the crowd that probably never wore a jersey of any distinction but nevertheless they are the vast majority and do reflect the inner feelings of the county board towards football another example of what’s wrong is the the lack of a plan or passion from the kk manager who stupidly compared Kerry to the shambles that’s been taking place in kk. He was doing his best not to call out the county board for the way it been run for last 20 plus years.
I played on a kk minor football team that won a south Leinster league beating Wx Cw and WD (yes Waterford). It was 80% of the minor hurling team that won two all irelands and kk also won the south Leinster league the year before with a totally different group of players which included DJ.
Then Cody got into power and stopped all that with restricting the hurlers from playing football. I know of personal accounts where he told 3 players they were not to play in a county football final because it was two weeks before a Leinster hurling final. They all played and we’re gone off the hurling panel the following year and from there it’s completely been down graded.
The introduction of DJ as a county football coach was simply a PR stunt to make it look like they were doing something but where was the plan in place to follow up on this. There’s been several token gestures by the county board for years but no serious plan of action just token gestures to appease croke park.
The ladies scene is far different but it has its flaws also, look at how kk city can draw players from all over the county. Very few other clubs have won a “A” county underage tile and they have also dominated the adult scene, everyone knows that monopolies are not good in the long term as it will affect the county scene which is starting to make strides thankfully and hopefully they can go on in the next few years to win a junior title, it’s well within their grasp but a competitive internal club scene is key to this plus also the proper coaches must be put into place but they are going in the right direction and the u14 success proves that with the right coaches in place these goals are achievable and that should be the example that the mens gaa should look at. Both codes can exists together as there is a big talent pool in kk but the prejudice is real and it exists at all levels but is promoted by the county board
@@legond6981 If you want to be taken seriously, don't hide behind anonymity. If you feel passionate about Kilkenny football, boys or girls, get in touch , there are opportunities. No doubt, they are challenging. Lots of people are taking them on in Kilkenny who didn't get a mention. Everyone involved in Kilkenny football has had heartbreak. Stop wallowing in self pity. Change won't happen until you make it.
Half their overall funding until they start fielding a football team, it would soften their cough fairly lively, absolutely disgraceful carry on
I think there is just no interest.
@@tomgreene2282 that’s because the county board allows there to be no interest, half the funding and the CB won’t be long getting the finger out
Why??? Do you half the funding for counties not playing hurling seriously.... Or handball.... Or rounders......... The GAA is far more than Gball, if anything priority should be given to hurling.
@@johnglennon5896 I’m a hurling man first and foremost it’s my favourite sport by a mile but Football and Hurling should be on an equal level, if county’s want to just field one team, no bother at all, they’ll get half the funding, very simple 🤷🏼♂️
@@broneobraonain8506 but hurling isn't even on a level with Gball for the GAA, Liam Griffin calls hurling the "apartheid game" within the GAA. The bias is Gball 1st nd foremost. Being punitive to kk for their total lack of interest in Gball is beyond unfair to point being silly tbh. We should be developing hurling more not punishing those whom unashamedly prefer it.
Hope Kilkenny never get into football. Too small a county. Prioritizing hurling has worked out fairly well I would have said.
why play football when you can play hurling for Kilkenny. Football is tough to watch. I seen a guy miss a free in an All Ireland Football final from 20 metres out. Skill level is generally poor.
Skill level poor? Every hurler can put a 65 over blind folded because it’s easy…not to many footballers can put a 45 over because it’s hard. You need to be tougher in football because there’s more body to body contact…hurling is becoming a bit of a joke at the moment…they are just lashing it from anywhere with midfield basically being bypassed due to the smaller rims on the shliotar.
@@thecarpetman7687 football should be called handball instead of football
@@shanedoyle8933 He's right in the point he made. Hurling has become a shoot-out. I'm not a fan of players lashing the ball over the bar fron their own half.
“Tougher in football “
😂😂😂😂😂
And only an absolute moron would argue football and hurling or on a par skill wise , there’s basically no such thing as a first touch in football and a child of 4 can kick a football for the first time It takes years of practice to stoke a slithor with a Hurley properly
@@brianfitzpatrick9949 it may have taken years of practice for you….but then again you do sound a bit slow.
