Replying To Rockies:  "We had a nice win over Limerick in Munster semifinal as I remember in Killarney 2-6 to 1-7. Very tense game but we prevailed! Richie Bennie had repeatedly reminded me of the good turn Limerick did us by beating Tipp"
Apparently Limerick had a goal disallowed and a free was awarded to Limerick instead which was put wide

Replying To Canuck:  "Personally I would not care if themselves Kilkenny and Tipp did not win an All-Ireland for another 50 years. It is just the respect I have for them as great players, great teams and supporters."
I'd have massive respect for the big 3 also. Just would sooner anyone else outside them won it.

Replying To Shocs07:  "I don't agree. It was more of a massacre!"
A massacre happened on bloody Sunday in Croke Park, 1920 and in Derry, 1972, your use of the term in reference to a heavy defeat is insensitive to say the least.

Insensitive? What are you talking about Baire? "Massacre" is just a word in the English language. No more or less than that. It doesnt solely apply to the terrible events in Derry or Croke Park.

Replying To Rockies:  "True! A lot of uninformed posters on here, who have no knowledge of history of game. Jumping on bandwagon of latest winners,seems to be the mantra! What would you expect from an online forum? Good luck to the Decies.. as well as every other team. As Ring said "competition is the lifeblood of the game!"
Ring also replied, when a then ex Tipp player said ' there goes Ringey, they will have to shoot him' that ' Yerra, Ye tried everything else boy'.

What am I talking about? Do you not understand the meaning of the word massacre? Of course it's a word in the English language and it means something specific, it means an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people. How someone would use that term in the context of a hurling game is beyond me.

Replying To baire:  "I agree Rockies, the crowing and bragging from some on this forum is hard to take. We all know that Cork has produced wonderful hurlers, footballers, oarsmen, athletes etc etc. Empty vessels make most sound!
Caithfear éisteacht le toirneach!"
One man's bragging is often another man rebutting nonsense. I'll give you an example of this. The day after the 2018 Finals a county man of yours said he was' very disappointed that Galway were beaten by a non hurling county'. Limerick had won, five Under 21 AIs in the previous 18 years beating Galway on the way to every single one of them and had 7 Senior All Irelands, when Galway still had one, so naturally he was told to cop himself on ,as he sorely needed to do do. This is the kind of codology that needs to be corrected and that is not bragging

Baire. You're obviously one of these sensitive snowflakes I keep hearing about. Is it a bit of a Galway thing? Galway men of old wouldn't go down crying trying to get opponents sent off. That incident happened directly in front of me in the open stand on Saturday night. Disgraceful behaviour. Luckily for Limerick Fergal Horgan was the ref. A lesser referee could have sent the Limerick player off. It still wasn't Horgan's best day out. He made at least five poor calls.

Tip: dictionary.com is a very useful website. Please refer to it in future when you're unsure of what words mean. Here is the third entry meaning for 'massacre':

3. Informal. a crushing defeat, especially in sports.

You can put statistics another way: In the last 50 years Galway have won 4 senior, 10 U21, 14 minor and 12 club AI's to Limerick's 4 senior / 6 U21's / 1 minor and 1 club AI in the same timeframe. The man was right when you look at it like that!

Galway men are sensitive and go down easily. Funny how your overly sensitive manager was the first to start spouting that malicious rubbish on tv after his team's defeat in Pearse Stadium, retracted it later and denied that it was true.
I take it you're referring to the Cathal Mannion incident in the Gaelic Grounds. I have a recording of that game and I have looked at it a couple of times. A lot of people wouldn't have seen the hit, it was so quick. Michael Duignan's initial reaction to the melee on the sideline was that no one got hit. It took a few replays for him to see G Hegarty hit J Cooney twice in the face. A few replays of C Mannion and I guarantee you would see him getting hit if you took your green blinkers off. C Mannion is a fine, honest, fair and skilful hurler.
How many club All Irelands have the non-sensitive, macho Limerick hurlers won? Club hurling is the authentic gaelic championship, where it all starts and finishes, no billionaire backing, no psychologists, nutritionists, statisticians etc. The hardy men of Galway are up there with the hardy men of KK and Cork when it comes to winning club All Irelands.

Hurling did not star 50 years ago- and that is whatever way you put it. It was a nonsensical statement all day long.

Don't be codding yourself. The Ahane team won 11 Senior All Ireland Hurling medals in one day. How many of your great Galway clubs ever did that. The fact is Limerick has two to one with ye in All Irelands at Senior level and that is all that really matters. We have over 50 per cent of all the finals our boys contested and ye won ,20. BTW most of our All Irelands were won long before sponsorship was even thought of.

Here's another take on things. To win the all Ireland in 2018 we played 8 matches, lost one, drew one, winning 6..
Galway won 3 all Irelands by playing 6 matches in the eighties.

Whatever about 50 years ago in the last 4 years Limerick have won 3 senior all Irelands, 3 munster titles in a row and 2 leagues..
Awarded 3 hurlers of the year and the aul co op munster league thrown in for good measure.

We've won the all Ireland in front of 80,000 people, 40,000 and about 40 people just to mix it up a little..
So your fellow County man who didn't consider us a real hurling county might have to reconsider.

Is there not a separate thread for club hurling that might suit you better? This is an inter County thread. You seem to have a fair bit of a chip on your shoulder. You should enjoy the game a bit more.

Nice one to use club hurling to deflect from Galway underachieving at county level. All the talent that has come out of Galway and 1 senior all Ireland in nearly 30 years to show for it.
Now that's how counties are judged :)

Just seen Cian sent off in Fitzgibbon final for a joke of a decision- it looks like Colin Lynch in '98 and Keady in '89 we are going to be put back in our place by the GAA old guard.

You're just being plain silly. Why don't you ring Joe Duffy!
You can also complain about how underage success in Galway doesn't translate into senior success.
