The jealousy is off the charts with a few of our wexford gaels,same for galway,we've left them behind,they're finding it tough to comprehend,takes time, Scuba191 (Limerick) - Posts: 17 - 03/03/2022 13:41:20 2403633 Link 0 |

Think the Wexford Gaels thing is driven by the Limerick reaction to the Dunne/Kirby incident. But as far as most of us are concerned that's water that's so far under the bridge it has headed out to sea. Many of us down here are very happy for ye to be having the success you are having. Because at the end of the day you like ourselves arent 1 of the big 3.

Jealously thing is just a lazy narrative, facts are when balanced observations are made about Limerick that are not positive alot of the posters default is whataboutery, this was also the case prior to 2018 so the whole success thing is irrelevant really.

No jealousy, asked honest questions about Galway last week and was ran off their forum as well. Fans are protective thats fair enough but debate is what these forums are for.

I'll put it like this. No one wins an AI without a certain % of players who will go over the line of what's permitted in the game. Weve seen it with successful teams since the 30s. There is a few words you can use to describe certain types of these players. My word is "invaluable". Certain people on here are fascinated with limericks discipline issue. Its really a defeatist mindset and if it permeates to the county team/setup they've lost before they take the field. I felt certain countys last year tried to beat limerick numerically. Rather than coming up with ways to beat them man to man. These observations are the lazy man's excuse as to deflect away from the success of another. It happens in all walks of life. Darragh Egan is a proper hurling man. If he got consumed by some of the drivel on here he'd be out of job in one year. Cork Brought a physicality to their play last Sunday which for me at times was over the line and they won. The general consensus was they manned up to limerick. They should continue on this path if they want success. I just wonder was this a one off revenge mission to put pride back in their jersey and I think kiely held a bit back selecting 8 starters and tactically showed very little. Hurling is a sport where we thrive on physical confrontation and the winners are just that. Winners. The rest is just noise. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1198 - 03/03/2022 14:51:38 2403656 Link 2 |

Personally I can 100% assure you there's no envy, begrudgery, jealously etc. at play from myself, but if posters are going to indulge in deflection and whataboutery don't expect people to lay idle and not challenge it.

If i genuinely was jealous etc. I'd be tipping Limerick's opponent in every game like that Katser person from Galway.

No Wexico. The narrative before was different, it usually entailed throwing the slur that Limerick were chokers. Look the simple fact is at any one time, throughout the history of the game only about two or three of the chasing pack will be serious contenders. Back in the thirties and forties it was usually Limerick, Dublin or Waterford, then in the fifties and sixties Wexford and Waterford were the main contenders, to be followed in the seventies by Limerick, with Clare, Galway and Wexford running just behind. The Eighties brought Offaly and Galway to the fore and the nineties was a great decade with an usual numbers of side getting outright or coming close. Almost the first twenty years of this decade were dominated by the big three with only Clare, Galway and Limerick getting one title each, despite Waterford and Wexford often offering a robust challenge. My point is there is no great need to worry about Limerick for anybody from any other county, as we will only be around for a few years. If anything those Limerick successes should give confidence to different members the chasing pack. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4512 - 03/03/2022 16:30:37 2403681 Link 1 |

Fully agree with you, always will have a soft spot for Wexford,the 96 final hurt more than the 94 one,most of us realise this won't last but we are enjoying every minute of it, maybe we are a bit cocky but I think be the same in any county outside of the big 3.

Exactly Viking. I was at the funeral of my Wexford Sister in Law the day after the All Ireland Final and her family and all the other Wexford people attending, to a man and woman, were nothing but full some in their praise of Limericks win over Cork.

Well if you look at the opinions nobody is saying Limerick are not a brilliant team (apart from the Katser person from Galway maybe) .

Mike is Back in training. Peter won't see championship in my opinion although 6 weeks gives him a good bit of time. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 04/03/2022 07:29:02 2403724 Link 0 |

Cheers We could do with Peter no doubt Serious operator Hoping Adam English makes the step up Looks to have a bit about him Could do with a win Sunday to get the ball rolling Scuba191 (Limerick) - Posts: 17 - 04/03/2022 10:40:37 2403745 Link 0 |

Strong team named. Looking forward to seeing Adam English in what will be a hostile environment marking a top class corner back in Hayes or Flanagan who I both rate highly. I've said here before I think he could be ready for this level even though he's only a young lad but clearly kiely thinks he does too giving him the start. It's an exciting FF line granted its inexperienced but with Flanagan out I think kiely has giving these boys their chance with the 15 jersey still very much up for grabs. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1198 - 05/03/2022 08:01:53 2403837 Link 0 |
