2011. All-Ireland quarter final in Thurles. Won by 4/5 iirc. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13693 - 08/07/2019 13:56:50 2207841 Link 5 |
You can never trust the Dublin Hurlers.

While I don't comment on every game prediction as it would be impossible, I did genuinely think Laois had a decent chance of beating Dublin here...following the JMCD cup, they were most impressive, running up high tallies against all teams, while they are viewed as operating at a level below the big guns, wins are wins and good performances breed confidence, and one has to hand to all involved here, Eddie Brennan has them flying and I am delighted for Laois hurling..we had them competitive during the early to mid 1980's and they certainly caused a few upsets particularly during the NHL in those times, not forgetting beating Wexford to reach 1985 Leinster final, and reach the centenary cup hurling final in 1984..I like Dublin hurlers, they are not at the heights they have been previously, but are still a formidable side, so one has to hand it to Laois, but it is not a huge shock (if it was a few years ago, yes definitely but not now)....people are already writing them off against Tipp next week, might be a bridge too far for them but they certainly wont fear going into the battle, that's for sure..wishing them all the best.

Dublin beat Limerick 3-13 to 0-18 in the 2011 All Ireland quarter final in Thurles. Ryan O'Dwyer did the damage scoring 3-3 for the Dubs. Dublin also knocked us out in 2015 in Thurles by 1-17 to 1-16. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 08/07/2019 15:25:59 2207922 Link 0 |
Funny for that to be your first post on the message board!! A bit of a forgetful Limerick fan if you can't remember as far back as 2011!! keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 08/07/2019 15:45:32 2207930 Link 0 |
Don't think mount leinster beating oulart was such a huge shock as they had already beaten ballyboden. Wexford beating Kilkenny was a shock but it was always possible. The Leix win is different as it's a hurling county beating a higher level one. It rarely happens. Antrim beating Dublin was comparable. It's great as it gives hope to Westmeath, Carlow , Kerry etc as they try to break into the 10 county cost cartel. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 08/07/2019 15:55:21 2207938 Link 0 |
Westmeath bearing Kilkenny in the under 21 in 2016 was surely bigger. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 08/07/2019 16:00:58 2207947 Link 0 |
Oh. Dear. Just the two times. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 08/07/2019 20:10:54 2208111 Link 0 |
That wasn't a shock, I was there and Dalyo took off about five first team players with 15 minutes to go and I think Antrim were 8 points down. It was a managerial mistake where as Laois outplayed Dublin. Biggest problem with Dublin is they can't hand pass to another player it's all over the place.

The fact that Dublin took Galway out before this makes it a huge shock. Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 08/07/2019 21:18:21 2208166 Link 0 |
Agreed. The frustration that day wasn't because we'd lost to Antrim but more the manner at how we had lost the game. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13693 - 08/07/2019 21:38:56 2208184 Link 3 |
Waterford beating Cork in 89 was probably a shock given they went onto win the AI following year. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 08/07/2019 22:19:44 2208216 Link 0 |
Wow! I can only assume you haven't yet reached your teenage years or unlikely I know but maybe only started following hurling in the past 10 months...

wildpundit - what was curious about Waterford in 89 was they beat Cork after a replay. Very rarely the underdogs do it on the second day. The scoring the first day was tame enough 0-18 apiece but the second day was massive, 5-16 to 4-17. At half time Cork were ahead something like 3-11 to 2-10. Those scores might seem average now but back then a game with 9 goals and 33 points was somewhat abnormal.

Hardly the shock of the century, a surprise result alright. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 09/07/2019 10:56:33 2208344 Link 0 |
It probably is the shock of the century in the AISHC. What result since 2000 was more surprising?
