Replying To wexico15: "Maybe ye are too easy to wind up..." Naw, it's not that. I don't mind posters not rating Limerick if they can back up why .. Its just kinda relentless with him though, turns up on any thread to do with hurling, that's what I mean. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1062 - 29/04/2019 17:35:26 2180882 Link

Replying To LarryOBrother: "I know this is a Munster Forum but does anybody have any update on Eoin Murphys injury? He'd be a massive loss to Kilkenny." Heard he's probably out of there 2 games in May and awaiting results of a scan to see if he'll miss the 2 games in June. Best goalkeeper in the country so goes without saying a huge loss bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 30/04/2019 01:41:53 2180949 Link

I dont think he said he didnt rate Limerick but do you believe it would be a shock if they didnt make it out of Munster? I dont think it would be. That is the nature of the Munster championship. The reality is any team from Munster could win the All Ireland this year yet alone the Munster championship. People were (as per usual) tipping Tipperary last year for the All Ireland (in fact they would have been bigger favorites than eventual champions Limerick from the outset) and yet they didnt make it out of Munster. For what it is worth, I think Limerick, Clare and Cork will come out of Munster. For my own country I believe we will win both our home games as we do not tend to lose at home (1 loss since 2016) and win one of our away games. We have injury's but thankfully our best players are available in Kelly, Conlon and O Donnell. I am expecting another big year out of Conlon who was unplayable last year.

Fancied Clare myself at the start of the year but the panel is looking very short now with McGrath, Shanahan and particularly Ian Galvin gone.

As an isolated post, of course not.. He didn't mention limerick. Like I said though there's a pattern of consistent snide, negative commentary going on for at least a year at this stage...gets irritating. Now all that said, it's an irrelevance, like wexico said. He's a Troll. One anonymous poster with a bizarre attitude to Limerick hurling doesn't deserve the spotlight. To answer your question. It would be unfortunate but not surprising if we don't get out of Munster. I find it impossible to call... Will be a brilliant munster championship I think. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1062 - 30/04/2019 10:00:10 2180978 Link

Replying To blackspot91: "Is there a worry in Clare about O Donnell and Conlon match sharpness?" Of course there is uncertainty over match sharpness but by the same token, could you not argue that maybe the break will do them the world of good in terms of freshness? Conlon has given 11/12 unbelievable years of service with very little break and with his experience I dont think the break will do him any harm. I would be slightly more worried about O Donnell in that he was away in Boston with no hurling training whatsoever. In saying that like Conlon, he has been playing for Clare from underage to senior and leading his club for the best past of 8/9 years and the break could work wonders for him. Our management have said that he has come back in superb shape so lets see. Overall I dont think it will be a massive issue and FF line is not an area that particularly concerns me with Clare.

Replying To LarryOBrother: "Fancied Clare myself at the start of the year but the panel is looking very short now with McGrath, Shanahan and particularly Ian Galvin gone." Fair point with regards Shanahan but the other two were not starters last year. Galvin would have been pushing hard this year but with the emergence of Diarmuid Ryan I am not too worried. We are light on defenders and I rate Shanahan so he is a loss. Our first 15 will be strong but we may lack difference makers in the bench this year to go all the way I feel.

Im fearful for Clare. Injuries and no real change from last year. If Cork beat tipp at home then they are in with a chance and will be very dangerous if they get out of Munster. Loose to tipp and they are in big trouble.. Tipp, Limerick and another. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 30/04/2019 17:56:57 2181100 Link

Just weighing in on this one. There are some professional writers (pundits) that don't seem to be too smart. There rankings given for the All-Ireland. Limerick,Galway, Tipp, Clare, Cork, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford, Dublin and Carlow. Two of these Munster counties won't be in the All-Ireland series. Wexford or Dublin will, no disrespect to Carlow. It is great we are ranked only 7th under the radar, despite being in the league final this year, 2017 All-Ireland and would probably came out of Munster last year only for a ref decision and playing with one regular back. I know you guys would not pay much attention to those rankings. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2658 - 30/04/2019 20:28:14 2181143 Link

Waterford will have a right cut at it this year and I'd fancy them to come out of Munster along with Clare and Cork katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 30/04/2019 21:17:53 2181151 Link

Make one powerful change - Six-week schedule with byes as follows - A BCD E ABC D E. No team plays with 3 games in a row (both Provs 2019) - and no team with a 3-week interval (Cork 2019). omahant (USA) - Posts: 2580 - 01/05/2019 01:34:54 2181185 Link
