When you're top of the pile national media will do anything for headlines. Goes with the territory. Kiely answered their questions. Move on.

Who's commenting on players from other counties? At the moment rumours are 95% false and stuff just made up by jealous neighbours, why should Limerick media add to the noise?

There has been 4-5 off field incidents involving panel remembers over the last 4 years or so, in the age of social media its almost impossible for these not to be picked up by print media etc., that's just the reality its not jealously at all, in fact the way Limerick have been relentless and not let the other stuff be a distraction is all the more admirable.

"Munster championship will be a dogfight again this year." A dogfight again? It was a two horse race last year.

When youre a player of that standing and a multiple Ireland champion then it doesnt really matter what county youre from, the media are going to get hold of the story. Remains to be seen if its true or not. Some people seem adamant on other forums its 100% true but seems the real GAA people here are saying its all made up. Time will tell. I hope its not true as it would be a shame to lose such a topplayer from the national stage. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 19/01/2023 09:27:59 2453039 Link 0 |

To be fair I dont think he said it was a dog fight last year! You're jumping to conclusions a bit there Cockney!

It hasn't been a dogfight any of the Round Robin Years tbh Tiobraid.

So when does the "again" refer to? Fifty years ago?

Well I heard people a few days ago saying the EPL could be between Arsenal and United again. Dont think they were referring to last year! Likewise if someone said the all ireland could be contested by KK and Tipp again I wouldnt jump down someones throat over it! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 19/01/2023 12:54:50 2453078 Link 1 |

Depends what the definition of dog fight is. If you're looking at the Munster cship in isolation then last year it was a dog fight between Clare and Limerick - I think that cant be questioned. I'll leave it at that though because the whole Leinster-Munster thing is tiring tbh and comments generally are all addressed one way. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 19/01/2023 13:00:41 2453080 Link 0 |

You were talking sense, until you said Tipp could be in this year's All Ireland final.

I think the OP implied that it would be a dogfight as to who finished where Tiobraid. There's no Munster v Leinster thing in any of my posts since. I've followed the Munster Championship, and Limerick in it in particular, since the 1990s.

I'm be interested to see where other county posters here feel where their county team is currently at ? What sort of season do they expect? daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1128 - 19/01/2023 14:44:29 2453098 Link 0 |

True hurling people ignore this noise. What Limerick has achieved to date with this team in my opinion makes them one of the greatest ever and well on the way to the greatest. Not degrading the great Kilkenny team especially, Tipp and Cork. Looking at the history of the game there is always a chance one of the big three could and do dominate for periods with multiple tittles in a row. However the followers rarely do better than picking off one here and there. I would love us to get one and if that ever happened that is all it would be. Also would like to beat Limerick but if that does not occur quiet happy to see their train chugging along to further greatness in this century. We have had probably our best team ever during this period but no cigar.

Stating the obvious but Limerick are well ahead of the pack and their standards will have to drop if their caught in a knockout game this year, I think there's very little between the chasing pack and its a case for these teams building consistency, a bit of momentum and getting a bit of the most under appreciated thing in sport a bit of luck. In Munster Limerick will finish in the top 3 unless something crazy happens and I can't call it between the other 4 teams, Cork like you said are so unpredictable, Clare were brilliant in Munster last year but interesting to see if the mauling they took from Kilkenny will set them back, 4 or 5 of there key players have alot of miles clocked up although they've some promising young lads like Meehan and Rodgers coming too, Tipp look like they've ground to make up but we seen in 2020 with Waterford that Cahill is capable of bringing a team from nowhere far into the championship, no home games is a blow for Waterford but if those games vs Limerick and Clare are moved to Thurles that isn't a disaster for them, I'd say they'd love to play both in Nowlan Park if they could to bring the opposition on a longer journey but doubt Munster Council will allow it. Leinster looks very open, I think Galway have the most capacity performance wise of the teams but are a bit unreliable, compare how well they competed vs Limerick in last year's semi final to how abject they were in the Leinster final. Kilkenny will always be in the mix don't need to say much more, I think panel depth and consistency are our 2 aims for the year, on our day we're a match for most teams, Dublin have 10 lads off the panel this of their own accord which puts them on a tough start but Donoghue is serious operator so will be interesting to see how they go. Wouldn't read much into league form for any team this year. TerribleFootwork (Wexford) - Posts: 1724 - 19/01/2023 17:16:40 2453116 Link 0 |
