I doubt very much Cha would come back into the fold, especially now that Buckley has made his presence felt.As for Mulhall, I was wondering why he got so much game-time during the league. I think perhaps Cody was kind of giving him a chance to prove himself at inter-county level.He's a hard worker, a very good club man and certainly very dedicated to Kilkenny but unfortunately he's not inter-county standard, he gives away the ball too much, he's far too inconsistent and sometimes just plain awful.There's other lads coming through who are much better than him so I wouldn't be surprised if he's had to make way.If he is gone at least he's gone with his medals, the knowledge he played a part in the most successful panel in history and thanks for his efforts.

I believe John Mulhall was dropped from the Kilkenny Senior panel for 'disiplinary' reasons. Thats what the story seems to be.Cha will not be back anytime soon to Kilkenny, he was M.O.T.M. (his hurling in the last 10-15 minutes was outstanding) for the Shamrocks in their 3rd Round League match last Friday against St. Martin's (ironically Mulhall's club) but went A.W.O.L. for a tournament final in St. Molleran's GAA v Carrickshock the following Sunday, he is at a cross-roads with regards to even his club career now. It's a great pity.

Just for clarification Rush, is this Mulhall or Cha you are talking about in the above piece?

That story is wrong. He was not dropped ror disiplinary reasons. I know the story going around and people just have it backwards. Kilkenny is an amazing county for people either making up storys or just getting them wrong.

Fair enough, but it seems you heard the same story that I heard...it's strange that Cody gave him several starts (game time / sub) in the League just gone, yet now, drops him on the eve of the championship...?!

From bitter personal experience I fully agree with you 67 - people seem to like believing or adding to lies and the worst part is there's no way to stop them. I think it's unfair to put up people like John Mulhall - one of the nicest guys I've met - as the subject of a thread. It can lead to even more rumours and innuendo and can serve no purpose. I know that's not the intention of the thread but we've all seen this type of thing deteriorate quickly.

Cha, I'm referring to - I was speaking to a cousin of mine from Knocktopher + seemingly Cha went 'missing' and didn't turn up for the tournament final at St. Molleran's GAA, which is very strange and unbelieveable considering it was against Carrickshock (Shamrock's near neighbours), I believe a few more of the Shamrocks players were also not 100% either, due to going on a drinking session....it's a pity to hear this type of thing about Cha....

I thought the writing was on the wall for John after the dirty looks Cody gave him throughout this video myself! For those who haven't seen this before, listen to Cody at the end.I hope Declan Ryan has this ready and waiting if we meet up again this year.

In fairness that video was only a bit of craic and that's hardly the reason Cody dropped him or anything. The video was fair funny though in fairness, fierce harsh on poor old TJ Reid though!I thought though when Mulhall broke through first a year or two ago that he'd be a decent enough hurler for Kilkenny but it just hasnt't worked out for him for whatever reason.

Onelegged, I guess I hadn't thought about the potential for the thread to go a way you talk about.As a KK fan and having played at a decent level, I have nothing but great damiration for all members of the current panel as the work and dedication they put in is far mor ethan we ever even dreamed of in our day.
