Replying To MicktheMiller:  "Hard to argue with your logic Ollie. John Maughan's Offaly will hopefully challenge for promotion in 2021, we need that badly. How's Micky Harte doing with Louth?"
Mick there is a good vibe going around the Wee County at the moment. With the new stadium up and running in Dundalk and a few Louth players have come back in to squad most notable Andy Mc Donnell and the two Byrne Brothers Declan and Ciaran. A good season for Harte would be promotion in the league and a semi/final or final spot in the Championship.

Replying To Fairplayalways:  "strange to predict Tipp to loose to LImerick, but of course its very possible in this Division, it will be interesting to see how Tipp respond with the Munster title in their back pockets etc..."
Personally it would be of no surprise to me if Limerick do edge Tipp. Limerick have no fear of Tipp and will fancy their chances . I feel Cork left that Munster final behind them last year but in saying that Tipp were full value for their win and I was delighted for them. Offaly certainly are favourites in their game v Wicklow but with the way Covid has played havoc again this year the quality of football will need a couple of weeks before it reaches a high standard. That's presuming all counties abided by the restrictions.

I was delighted for Tipp too, and yet no more than someone beating Kilkenny in hurling in Leisnster, you kind would wish the team that beat them to go on and win it...Cork certainly left that game behind them, way way way too much over passing of the ball, when you are loosing a game and you have a hunch theres a minute or so left you HAVE to have a go...Cork were very very fortunate their timng of the high ball in and all that transpired won them the game V Kerry...such finishes do not happen in the norm, thats why they are so special, but Cork played with fire against Kerry and were very very fortunate that Kerry hadnt put them away, and well, that high ball from the sideline would have gone any direction on another day...I hope Tipp hang around for a bit and push in Munster again..we probably have a hunch that normal business will be restored in Munster and Tipp might fade...I certainly hope not...

I suppose if we want someone to beat Dublin we may wish for the Kingdom to come as you say...Cork gave them a great game there a two years ago before falling away...

Fair play to Fermanagh. Excellent deserved win. Not many would have predicted the result but Fermanagh never easy to play. Beat us twice in recent years. Quigley some man

Great win for Limerick tonight - fantastic to see the whole game on GAAGo. It was a decent game of football too...

Hats off to Limerick...someone predicted it above...makes the south division interesting...Fermanagh had a good win in the North section over Cavan..

Good win by Limerick. Fermanagh caused an upset v Cavan. Should be an interesting league, Offaly beware in Wicklow today.

I was surprised to see guys predicting 7 and 8 points wins for Tipperary against us, Limerick have beaten Tipperary the last 3 three times at u21/u20 when they met. We beat them well in 2019 in Thurlas and last year we should have beaten them too and we were without Danny Neville too. We also beat Cork in last year's McGrath cup final and we were by far the better team.

Anyway well done Limerick on yesterday's win, I was nervous when Tipperary went 4 points to no score ahead, no panic from them and they got into the game and got the result.

People of Limerick should take note of the job Billy Lee is doing for Limerick football. He took over what was a bad division 4 team and then he lost 4 of his best players Georoid Hegarty, William O'Donaghue and Stephen Cahill opted for hurling and Paul White went overseas for work. He also found it hard to get other lads to join the panel and he had to challenge our county board to look after our footballers better too. Other guys would have done the easy thing and walked but Billy Lee stuck with it and he is starting to put together a team for us supporters to enjoy and follow.

What a lot of you are forgetting is that Limerick should have beaten Tipperary in last year's championship
