On a side note, I thought Niel McManus did a great job in studio. Was that his first time? Serious hurler too obviously. blackspot91 (Limerick) - Posts: 1055 - 10/06/2019 03:17:35 2192557 Link 1 |
Heard it numerous times. Not just from our neighbours in Clare either.

Always happens in GAA. "Such-and-such a team would've won the All-Ireland if they won the semi-final".......yeah but they didn't. I recall in 2007 a lot of people speculating that Waterford would have beaten Kilkenny in that year's All-Ireland final had it not been for Limerick causing an upset in the semi-final. I'm convinced it acted as a motivating factor in the 2008 final as Kilkenny destroyed Waterford that year. Maybe something similar happened yesterday with Limerick v Clare. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 10/06/2019 10:22:19 2192657 Link 0 |
Think the fear of being knocked out completely was serious enough motivation!! If we lost yesterday we were gone. Nightmare scenario. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1054 - 10/06/2019 10:56:32 2192692 Link 0 |
Shane S. sure did when reading my comment regarding boring(mostly) Munster games on a recent OTB. To each their own but give me a gritty, defensive(not extra/sweeper) game. The talent in Munster is worth admiration, it's impressive but still, Leinster for me. The space afforded shooters in many Munster games is often surprising. Cork, when playing well seem to have some real fight, just need some consistency from someone other than the renewed & VERY impressive Pat Horgan ...never a fan, thought he was done, now w/TJ in a run for HOTY. All that aside, Munster, Leinster, Liam McCarthy or Joe McDonagh, just want to see good hard hurling & an attempt at consistency in refereeing decisions.

So what time is the handball throwing in at the weekend? Can players use their feet by any chance and have they to play in certain positions?

The performances last weekend make me even more confident of a munster team winning the AI and an all-munster AI final. PremierGold (Tipperary) - Posts: 121 - 11/06/2019 11:16:35 2193404 Link 0 |
Your dead right..Galway haven't a hope this year just let the Munster lads keep knocking lumps out of each other and hopefully Galway might sneek into a Leinster Final win it and sleader into an All Ireland Semi Final without even playing outstanding this year or getting out of 1st gear. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2188 - 11/06/2019 13:47:45 2193492 Link 0 |
We ll have to wait and see what happens in the AI series. Waterford and Clare have been poor this year and Cork inconsistent. Be interesting to see how the Tipp v Limerick game pans out. I doubt either side will score 2-30 or anything like it.

Be carefull what you wish for, during the 70s and 80s, the munster championship was a total wash out, tipp disappeared off the face of the earth for nearly twenty years, was totally dominated in that period by cork with the odd appearance by limerick. With the standards of Clare and Waterford this year are we returning to them years, on paper that is what it looks like. Limerick are at the moment a fantastic team but will need to make hay now when they have that talent and try to put back to back all Ireland's. Tipp no more than average with wins against poor sides in Waterford and clare, Limerick will prove that next weekend, old players and basically the same team that floped last year. Was not that long ago that people were proposing an all ireland final pairing of Kilkenny vs the rest of ireland. What goes around comes around!! Leinster is far more competitive this year, with munster final paring of cork Limerick obvious from the start tonydoranfan (Wexford) - Posts: 550 - 11/06/2019 14:11:46 2193505 Link 0 |
"Tipp no more than average with wins against poor sides in Waterford and clare, Limerick will prove that next weekend," Are you not giving us any credit for beating Cork in Cork!!! (who beat Lim) Nothing will be proved next weekend, the potential munster and AI finals is where its proved. If you are too old at 28-29 there is something strange going on, only 1 Tipp player 30. Leinster is only competitive as its a race to the bottom. We might try the Wexford model this weekend....play 3 sweepers and miss all our frees!!

Limerick won four titles, when it really meant something, between 1973 and 1981. That was a solid team, who wentt toe to toe with the best of them

At least in Munster we know who were bad and who are good. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 11/06/2019 18:00:13 2193609 Link 0 |

Cork wexford limerick and Kilkenny were the four strong teams during the 70s, hopefully limerick will stay in the top and challenge every year against the 3 super powers , wexford still have a bit to go tonydoranfan (Wexford) - Posts: 550 - 11/06/2019 18:59:20 2193636 Link 0 |
Very witty reply I must say, be very very carefull in tipp you don't return to the dark days of the 70s and 80s It will never be far away I'm afraid tonydoranfan (Wexford) - Posts: 550 - 11/06/2019 19:01:40 2193639 Link 0 |
Wexford won 3 Leinster titles in the 1970s- a decade where Kilkenny had possibly their strongest team of the Millenium. Unfortunately for us Cork did too. Limerick shouldve won Liam more than once also.

Y are Munster teams not running away with Liam and the League every year then?
