Shefflin is only a free taker these days, sad to see him have to resort to badgering the referee trying to get lads booked yesterday. Shefflin is well past his best, his last year I'd say.

You really haven't a clue about hurling do you? Did you ever play the game out of interest?Shefflin, like 90% of the KK team were rattled from the 1st second of the game and somedays you just cannot recover from that. His vision for the goal was top class as was his touch to guide it into the net. His free taking was pretty much faultless and he won a few frees himself. Henry would be the first to put his hand up and admit that he had a bad day. Scoring 1-8 in that game will have meant SFA to him.Best to keep your mouth shut in future if thats the kind of drivel you are going to come out with about the greatest hurler of all time.

It is very obvious that Shefflin is on the slide for a few years now. It has been a new feature of Henry's play as he has gotten older that he is constantly in the refs ear trying to influence decisions in his favour, a sure sigh of a player that is gone off. He was blown out of it last sunday and was lucky to see the second half. His pace is gone, he gets his place for his freetaking duties only and trying to win a few soft frees.Being highest scorer in a KK forward line could only manage 4 points form play, is hardly anything to write home about. His buckshee goal was the product of a big mixup on Galways behalf, is batting a ball into an empty net somehow wonderous now because Shefflin managed to do it? Are you Duignan by any chance?

Give me examples of Henry being 'on the slide for a few years'.

What sort of an ill mannered eijit are you, for those of us reared properly it is normal to use the word PLEASE when we ask a question that we would like answered. Henry form has been going downhill for the last two years, but of course when he has a quite day all the the handy excuses such as he was injured and "recovering" form is used. He score nothing from play against Dublin this year in what was a scoring free for all, he had some shocking wides that day. The handy excuse that he only returned back from injury was once again rolled out, but in truth he was already back for months. The slide is never a problem until you start to lose games, this charade is begining to unravel me thinks.

Give it up Snoop..Henry was brilliant in last years Leinster final, and all Ireland. He had John O'Keefe tied up in knots and set the platform for the victory..He won an all-star last year too, deservedly in my opinion.
Can you explain, PLEASE, what the 'charade' is and how it is unravelling?

The last two years?Did you watch the all ireland final at all? Every ball Tommy got, he passed to Henry who directed the forwards.Remember the throw-in which he got the point from in teh 2nd half, absolutely sub-lime?Remember his one-two with the side-line ball before teh Mick Fennelly goal?I could go on.Ok he wasn't up to his peerless best in the last two matches but he's still far better than practically all county hurlers currently playing.And as for Henry being back months - absolute rubbish. Dublin was his firsty county game since the all ireland. He had a few club games before that but they don't compare to the intensity of championship hurling, something I doubt you'd be aware of.
