Replying To foreveryoung: "Yes, Waterford did win; great win, btw. But why is he even talking about this here? Why isn't this kept to the Wexford forum? And Canuck, why are you not answering this question on the Waterford forum (specifically set up for you)." What question? The last post in the Waterford thread is mine.

Replying To Trump2020: "Limerick are devastating. Making Cork look like Minors. They'll be tough to beat yet again." Yes they look a class of all the teams this weekend. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2854 - 17/04/2022 17:42:18 2411363 Link
Replying To Canuck: "I think we won ???" I'm aware of that. Neither team setting the world alight is what I meant. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3048 - 17/04/2022 17:43:38 2411365 Link
Cork limerick was totally different level to any other game so far. Cork only really switched off for about 15 minutes and were badly punished for it. Limerick would remind you of kilkenny at their best. Nevermind 3, they could do 5 in a row. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3048 - 17/04/2022 17:50:35 2411368 Link
Limerick looking as good as ever and a few more gears to go through yet. I know it's very early but it's hard to see any other county in the same ballpark let's be honest here. Richardkimble (Laois) - Posts: 39 - 17/04/2022 18:02:00 2411374 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Limerick are devastating. Making Cork look like Minors. They'll be tough to beat yet again." Yes the League didn't matter. Limerick well primed for an assault on the 3 in a row. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2282 - 17/04/2022 18:27:42 2411380 Link

Replying To ecad123: "The ref was not good today, why would you say he was when if believe he wasn't, he definitely bottled a lot of decisions in the finish the crowd swayed him. he should have never threw in the ball for the Cooney free." He left a lot of Galway fouling go in the 1st half. It was slow out of our lads to wake up to what he was permitting. It was after half time before our lads started playing the same style "tackling". Jack Grealish would've been sent off for persistent fouling by many other refs before halftime. And yet there are posters on this who claim to be from Galway who have spent most of the last 4 years whingeing about how Limerick play when Galway got 5 or 6 lads booked by the easiest going ref on fouling I've ever seen. In fairness to the ref he was consistent. When our backs started playing in the 2nd half the same as Galways did in the 1st half he let them off too.

Replying To Canuck: "I think we won ???" You weren't as sharp as you were in the League semi and final though Canuck. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13347 - 17/04/2022 19:08:26 2411391 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Limerick are devastating. Making Cork look like Minors. They'll be tough to beat yet again." Yes. Great team. Hope they do the 3 in a row if we don't win it! Which BTW I don't think we will. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13347 - 17/04/2022 19:10:17 2411392 Link

Replying To Trump2020: "Limerick are devastating. Making Cork look like Minors. They'll be tough to beat yet again." As good and all a player Hoggie has been, why is he rarely taken off. Did sweet FA today apart from frees. Kingston would have been far better off bringing on another young lad for experience instead of leaving him on.

Limerick would remind you of kilkenny at their best. Nevermind 3, they could do 5 in a row." Unfortunately I think it's more a case of limerick switching on instead of Cork switching off. We saw it in the Munster final last year,, if they smell a loss coming they'll just move through the gears and disappear over the horizon.

Limerick's display was awesome, Mike Casey back to his 2018 best, Sean Finn heading for all time greatness as a corner back, Diarmuid Byrnes scored 5/6 fantastic points, could go on, looked like they were playing within themselves too, Kiely and Kinnerk look to have them in prime condition. Their physicality is awesome and disciplined too Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1818 - 17/04/2022 21:21:44 2411431 Link
Great display from limerick after first 5 mins..really looking forward to next Saturday when what looks like the 2 best teams meet in the first of possibly 3 meetings this year..I'd have to ask serious questions of cork management..still havnt got a full or center back,and have possibly ruined Coleman who was an outstanding half back..hoggie has been a great servant but his overall display in last couple of matches has been dismal..he's a free taker and it looks ridiculous going back 100 meters and sending ball wide..harnedy if fit to come on was surely fit to start..if as reported he was sick then he probably shouldn't have been involved at all..how had jack o Connor gone so far down the pecking order?i also love playing cork when Shane kingston isn't on the field as he is a very dangerous forward..maybe cork will make me eat my words but on today's showing I doubt it..thoroughly enjoying limerick hurling and please give us plenty more of these days..

Fairly predictable results today and sets both teams up well for remaining games in Munster championship. I'm afraid Kingston has to get the boot from Cork. His tactics are mind boggling at best. Limerick getting all the credit for the turns overs and granted they do work like dogs but Cork could not make it any easier for them - first option is always to turn around and look for a mna behind rather than in front of them. They're going no where fast. From a Tipp perspective there were definite encouraging signs. I've no idea why Bowe was taken off. Unfortunately Bonner offered us nothing when he came on. Outside of Noel our four best players were players who Sheedy didn't rate which is probably not too surprising. It's a shame that Bryan O'Mara took a year out this year. Tipp are really up against it now but a win the next day gives us a fighting chance of getting out of Munster. Tipp will hope to have bigger performances from our two leaders in Maher and Forde the next day too. There's no question that introducing Gleason turned the game for Waterford. He's different class when he cuts out the silly stuff. Deeply frustrating line ball he scored when he clearly carried it out over the line himself. I'm not for a second saying the ref cost us but I can't for the life of me understand how we keep getting that ref. He was horrendous from start to finish today. Tipp however missed 3 easy goal chances which could have given us an unlikely win. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 17/04/2022 22:03:21 2411438 Link

Kingston and Cork management have a big decision to make with Patrick Horgan. He is giving them nothing from open play, unfortunately for him it looks like time has caught up on him. Cork seem more interested in him been the top scorer of all time. Unfortunately for him the championship is no place for sentiment. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 765 - 18/04/2022 09:07:44 2411453 Link
Well done to Liam Sheedy for calling out the madness of penalising Cooney for that free in injury time on Saturday. When Lee Chin spent even longer lining up!! Double standards, bowing to crowd pressure. ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1631 - 18/04/2022 10:27:23 2411466 Link
Replying To ahsure.: "Well done to Liam Sheedy for calling out the madness of penalising Cooney for that free in injury time on Saturday. When Lee Chin spent even longer lining up!! Double standards, bowing to crowd pressure." Sheedy missed the point. Cooney didnt get the free overturned for how many exact seconds he took. It was overturned for time wasting when in front. Unsportsmanlike conduct more specifically. Which couldn't apply to Chins free however long he took as Wexford were behind and everyone knew it was the last meaningful puck of the game.
