This has already been addressed as i said before your fellow county people need to learn the difference between objective opinion and a witchunt.

You made a reasoned and detailed points about Limerick hurlers in 2021, from your point of view. Which by the way, I have no real opinion on, as I didn't see most of these matches. But, what gets me is the response from all the Limerick supporters on here, it's like a cavalry charge. Not one of them addressed the issues you raised, instead they ranted whataboutery. You're wasting your time trying to reason with them. They are in my opinion, barring the odd one, the most arrogant and obnoxious bunch from any county I've come across in the years I've been on here.

Well forums like Fear Rua were going at the time and anyone was who criticised KK were laughed out of court and mainly by neutrals. We were told to man up, shut up and take our beating

In fairness how many and how often were Wexford players sent off between '94 and '01?.

I remember listening to John Power on Radio 1 a good few years ago now. It was an enjoyable programme and he spoke well. He was asked at one stage who was his toughest opponent. He said that it was Liam Dunne. "Some of the stuff that went on between us wouldn't have been seen in the Congo", he said!

Absolutely but a few people here really need to be less precious about their own county, when I was reading the suff here yesterday claiming Donal og's comments and Lynch's joke of a red were somehow linked I couldn't believe what I was reading.

Of course we will defend our own just like any other group of supporters but most Limerick fans have an issue with Donal Og using Hegartys dismissal last week to discredit everything Limerick has achieved in the last 4 years. It sounded like something he had rehearsed and was waiting for the first chance to air it . I know Hegarty deserved to be sent off but why was more made off Cooney barging him for no reason or Mannion throwing himself onto the ground. The narrative in the hurling media at the moment is that Limerick are dirty and 'loose' with the hurley and when refs hear that they imagine things like Lynchs incident yesterday. Limerick played your Wexford 2 weeks ago and did you see anything nasty or dirty from us that you wouldn't see in most matches. Hard hitting and physical with a few bookings on both sides but that's part of why we love the game. updwell (Limerick) - Posts: 899 - 20/02/2022 21:00:48 2401454 Link 0 |

Given I was in primary school at that point i don't know, secondly what's that go to with a chat about the modern game?

I don't think he was trying to discredit ye, if i remember rightly he mentioned how impressive ye have been and rightly so, i think the difference was Cooney didn't use their hurl like Hegarty, didn't like the Mannion incident either and thats getting too widespread across the board.

Liam Dunne was sent off in 3 successive championships from 1999 to 2001.

As i said earlier if a Wexford poster make a valid and objective point about Limerick which isn't positive the default of a certain few (certainly not all) is Liam Dunne or something else from the old days which has no real relevance to the modern game.

Giving my tuppence worth on this - Limerick people can be quite clannish.

And nothing wrong with that. Wexford people are the same. And go drinking in Cork!

It's the same cliched response each time, denial, deflection and shoot the messenger tactics. My mistake was to engage at all, we live and sometimes learn wexico!

I was taken aback by the use of the word 'massacre' in the context of sport, Viking. I haven't bought a dictionary recently but out of curiosity I looked up Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary, 1972 edition, and it had only one definition for the word 'massacre': indiscrimate slaughter, esp with cruelty: carnage - v.t. to kill with violence and cruelty: to slaughter. [Fr. origin doubtful] I bet you never heard your parents or their neighbours use the term massacre in the context of hurling or any sport for that matter. That use of the word is recent, it's in the online dictionary. I can only surmise that it came from a country where massacres happen on a weekly basis and it's usage is now being trivialised as can be seen online. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 21/02/2022 10:46:30 2401516 Link 0 |

Correct. 99 was an Oscar winning performance from John troy. 00 was an opportunistic theatrical debut for one Martin comerford. 01 was silly, and perfectly justified. He already had a reputation by then and it was easy to send him off. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3592 - 21/02/2022 12:53:56 2401572 Link 0 |
