Posing a hypothetical here; If Joseph Cooney was wearing a green shirt, would anyone believe him it was an accident? Couldn't have timed it worse/better. Red card all day? m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 30/11/2020 13:20:55 2316908 Link 0 |
if hegartys incident ( which i taught was very tame when you compare that to what brendan maher did to peter casey in last years munster final nearly took the head off of him). happened 2 years ago there woudnt be a word as everyone in the country wanted limerick to end the 45 year famine. but an all ireland , 2 munster titiles , and 2 national leagues and people are starting to get fed up of limerick winning ......but i guess thats the way life is, the more you win the more neutral supporters you loose there will be 31 counties shouting for waterford . but so what. munsterchamps (Limerick) - Posts: 1097 - 30/11/2020 13:28:26 2316911 Link 1 |
The Hegarty foul was a yellow, but no worse than the wild pull of D Burke in the air on Barry Nash just before Limerick's first score. I would be more frustrated with the continuous fouling of Hegarty (must've given away 4 scores...cancelling out the 4 he scored). Setanta11 (Louth) - Posts: 42 - 30/11/2020 13:30:29 2316912 Link 0 |
Setanta I'm glad you mentioned the Barry Nash incident,I didn't for fear people would say it's pure stupid..if we look at the full 80 mins again I'd be very certain a lot of Galway boys went in late and slightly loose with Hurley's..also I'm laughing at some complaining about limericks size,my god galway certainly have fellas every bit as big and physical as our boys..Burke's,cooney s,mcinerney even whelan.just have a look at how mcinerney ploughed through gillane..

What was the Galway keeper playing at with the drop to the ground carry on only to dramatically recover once no Limerick player was getting spoken to. Amateur dramatics classes were taken I'd say. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 30/11/2020 14:00:42 2316929 Link 1 |
Good point. As always " thou shalt not cry foul against Cody or Kilkenny", the Very architects of cynical play who go so far as to facilitate who go so far as to have former heroes such as Keher, DJ and the mugger Eddie Brennan (2009) final) make comments to the media and refs to "let the game flow". The wild swing was in invented by Tommy Walsh, just ask Brian Gavin. Love Tommy as an analyst but he got away with murder in his hayday in the black and amber. Jackie Tyrell , Mick Fennelly in the same exclusive club.

Well done Limerick yesterday on a massive win against a very good Galway team. carlowman (Carlow) - Posts: 1821 - 30/11/2020 14:20:24 2316942 Link 2 |
While I am a huge fan of Hegarty ,I agree his One handed over reaching swing appeared reckless and stupid, whatever his intention was. It would call it poor judgment in in the heat of an All-Ireland semi-final. A re- watch if the game will also probably highlight that Galway implemented the "wild swing" game plan from the start yesterday . This may have be an attempt to pull a "Kilkenny 2019 " on Limerick to gain the upper hand. Galway have been in no way averse to engaging in the same dark arts over the years. "Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" and all that. Come On Ye Boys In Green. PatOLogical (Limerick) - Posts: 1355 - 30/11/2020 14:25:45 2316944 Link 0 |

You could do with learning a thing or two from your neighbours in Tipp and Kerry who have won a lot and know how that feels. 1 All Ireland in about 50 years is hardly going to make people fed up

Galway were too nice yesterday imo. Gullane knew well what he was going and it wasn't a friendly tap he was trying to upset the young keeper and our players let him away with it. It was the full backs job to not allow anyone in the square to the goal keeper.eg If it happened when Brian Logan was full back with Clare it would not happen again. Same with Hegarty he had one intension in that swing and it was not to hook canning. Again if the ref wants to turn a blind eye to this, then our players have to step up for one and other he should not have been allowed get away with that.

Probably too early to ask, but is there any update on the status of Joe Canning and Aaron Gillane? Last I heard, both were hospitalized overnight (Joe with concussion, Aaron with a back injury), haven't seen any update today though. Hope they're both okay.

Jesus you Limerick lads are painful. You're on here defending an offence that by the rule book is indefensible. No one who has played the game would mistake that swing for an attempted hook, Hegarty wanted to get something on JC and he succeeded, and by the rules this was a straight red. You can use all the weak excuses you want "poor judgment" FFS, you can bring examples of offenses by other players, whatever, but its a red by the rules. Now, despite this, many people (including me) think a yellow would have been enough and the most high profile member of the group of players that you are still whining about for preferring "refs to "let the game flow"", Henry Shefflin, actually stated as much on television when reviewing the incident! No only this but he has been quoted by Limerick posters in excusing Hegarty's pull! You're all over the shop! And that's before we mention that your infantile whinge about Kilkenny was prompted by a post from another Limerick poster, who pulled a single sentence from an article by a ex-referee that praised the referee's performance in giving both Waterford and Kilkenny players the benefit of the doubt when they committed offences by the rule wanted more severe punishment and somehow took that to mean that Kilkenny are treated differently to other teams! Did you even read the article you're posting about? Heftydickonem (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 30/11/2020 15:17:13 2316974 Link 1 |
You would be surprised. Remember what Daly said about the attitude of some from other counties to Clare when they won two. Remember how Galway felt the same attitude was prevailing to them in the late eighties, when they did the same. It seems that certain from the smaller are happy when the Big Ones, but when the other crowd get 'above their station' well that is not ok.

Gillane probably wishes he swung at McInerney at this stage, to keep him away if nothing else

Agreed.. it's right up there with Galway's 3 or 4 in 125 years..people who live in glass houses..

Your post smack of sour grapes. By the way Tipperary are the worst winners you'll ever come across. Kerry are grand. Let's call.a spade a spade..Galway lost and as Cody says 'that's it' ..done. Limerick are actually going for their 3rd in 50 years in 2 weeks. The busking season will be in full swing in Galway...all the hippies and environmentalists will be there so you could make a few quid if you break out your ukelele

Its such a pity that posters on here about our wonderful game hurling have been so negative in their critiques of the game.Yes Limerick won and deservedly so,they played poor enough for parts of the game especially first quarter and that was as a result of the pressure Galway applied and fair play to them.There were a few incidents on both sides and I don't believe any player intended to deliberately hurt an opponent.I understand that Galway supporters will be feeling sore and looking for reasons as to why they lost but lads Limerick won and were the better team and are looking fwd to the final now.Yesterdays game is over and no matter how often you replay those incidents the result will be the same.Good luck to Galway in the future and wishing Joe Canning a full recovery.
