I presume the losing Waterford team that played KK in Tallow last night was missing some key players. Cork will come again but not this year, is e mo thuaraim!

But since 2004 he has started every game. Cody took over as manager in 1999 so I'm missing 5 years of stats. Hi Sean, my match stats only go back as far as 2004 so I can’t answer definitively.

On your rant on score-recording by us, the journos, it's a fact that (as noted) due to the speed of the game, the frequency of scores, we occasionally miss a scorer, and being so far from the action doesn't help. When the game is on tv, and when we have a monitor, and when that monitor actually has the game, we can check, but very often that isn't the case. Nightmare, at times; often those of us in an immediate vicinity will do a quick cross-check, but then it's off down to do postgame interviews, then sit down and start writing, the sweat streaming down the crack of your arse as you try to ignore the looming deadlines (and it's not always one - different pages can have different deadlines). This is something the GAA itself should now take in hand; if there's a person doing the stats for GAA.ie (and I've never met him/her), that person should coordinate with the GAA journos at the game before posting anything, that way we'd all be on the same hymn-sheet. Anyway, thanks for your efforts, much appreciated. Hurlingstats, I don’t know who you are but my hat is off to you - God bless the work.

]]> Comment on Sideline cut count up to 11 by Gary M http://www.hurlingstats.com/blog/archives/419#comment-1641 Gary M Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:06:54 +0000 http://www.hurlingstats.com/blog/?p=419#comment-1641 I personally don't believe these are valid points regarding the defense of the inaccurate reporting of match stats by newspapers and GAA.ie. Firstly these are professional writers who are paid to watch and report on the game I love. I assume these writers are constantly watching hurling like me so therefore they should easily be able to identify our top hurlers by their helmet type, jersey number and all round physique. These journalists are under pressure and time constraints granted, but if they are in a press box can they not confirm with some of the many other journalists present - "hey who scored that?" I don't get it, there simply should be no margin for error here, these are professional people who should pride themselves on the accuracy of their writing on the game we love.
