I was living in the UK at the time, and only got to know about hoganstand forum when a friend messaged me about Jim's post.
Jim's, wherever you may be, I hope you're doing well...

Nothing to be gained from that experience at all.
A closer final would have stood to the younger players but a hammering like that?
As well off trying to forget about it.

Limerick are class but how many Galway players actually had good games. We kept carrying the ball around the middle and they were swarming us. Cathal Mannion alone must have been turned over 5 times.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Thats my original question though.
Will you continue to stick up for one another in a 32 county republic or will you lose that and consider yourselves unconditionally as one with Irish people south of the border."
We already are at one with our neighbours in Donegal Monaghan and Cavan and look forward to the day when we are a 32 county republic. By the way I take great joy in seeing Armagh and sometimes Derry take a beating.

Kerry 2022-Current Team Better Than 04-09 Team? - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Lost the 02,05,06,08 semi finals,and the 07 and 09 finals to kerry,they were more than a match for anyone else,even beating the great tyrone team of that era by 5 points,with 14 men for most of the game. Great to see them finally win it in 2010.

Cork football has fallen so much since."
Team of naughties couldn't never win the tight games. No issue now.

Replying To Seanfan:  "What percentage of Nationalists in the North would be prepared to pay extra taxes in a United Ireland??"
Why, do you pay more taxes than me or anyone else in the North? In a United Ireland everyone would pay their share.

Well done to the Leitrim u15s yesterday against Sligo coming from 7 down at half time to win by 1 great comeback. Hard luck to Leitrim u16s losing out to a strong Galway side in the Father manning semi final hopefully they stick at it and give the Connacht minor championship a good rattle next year.

Yes they could. It's not Kerry's fault Tyrone were nowhere in those other years. It's fairly disrespectful to talk of a team that made 8 finals, winning 5 in that way.

Replying To sligo joe:  "Surely Limerick were not class on the day, yes they are a class team but won easy today with an average performance"
Limerick did the basic right and never needed to reach any great heights to win comfortably as Galway was so poor on the day.

Hurling Championship 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Congratulations to Limerick who are top of the chart again after losing out surprisingly to Dublin last year. Limerick's dominance is beginning to look a lot like Kilkenny's dominance in the previous couple of decades. I know it won't be discussed in media nor GAA circles but the gap between teams in Munster and Leinster is widening. People will point to Galway defeating Cork in the semi-final but I think this is a one-off rather than the norm. There was a significant gap between the two teams in the final today. Galway, Dublin and Offaly were all well beaten by Munster opposition in the latter stages of this year's hurling championship. Since Kilkenny's decline, no other county in the province of Leinster have been able to beat their Munster counterparts when it matters. If current trends continue then the All-Ireland hurling championship will be fought out between Munster counties in the future; with their Leinster counterparts watching from the sidelines. I don't think this is good for the hurling championship as there are a limited number of teams at All-Ireland standard prior to Leinster's current decline.
