Don't want to be negative but Jezzuss what's it with canning bringing up the Leinster-Munster rubbish. Fairly tiresome to be getting digs in especially when he's talking to the front runner for hurler of the year. Leave it off tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/06/2023 15:49:16 2485520 Link
Replying To The_Fridge: "What is Brian Lohan doing????? Made a change in the full back line" Half an hour too late. It cost them the match, BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3531 - 11/06/2023 15:51:13 2485521 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "Clare just got robbed. Casey hit on Kelly at the end there is shocking" Absolutely.There were 2 frees in that last passage of play that should have been given but Clare missed too much as well in the second half.

Replying To foreveryoung: "Ask Big Johnny Glynn how much of a liability Mike Casey is! Mike Casey is a powerful defender!" I think Mike had him in one of his back pockets if I recall Shocs07 (Limerick) - Posts: 374 - 11/06/2023 16:00:50 2485525 Link
A truly great team. 5 in a row in an incredibly difficult era to win a munster championship. The greatest team to ever come out of munster and in time they could be the greatest in the country. Limerick were still not firing on all cylinders but they are so conditioned to win big matches. Great atmosphere today and Clare will feel their shooting let them down. Kelly was very average today and Aidan mccarthy was kept very quiet. Limerick are still having to work very very hard to get parity on the free count but there was possible a free in at the end although time was up. Limerick had to dig very deep into their bench today and its testament to that team to get over the line. 4 weeks to get the knocks sorted and try and get Cian Lynch fully fit. Limerick still have another bit to go yet with regards performance but the work rate today was very good. Gillane destroyed Nolan and it was very strange je didn't get a different man on him till very late. Gillane for me should have got hurler of the year last year imo and he continues to be the best hurler in the country. Utterly unmarkable unless fouled. Very very proud Limerick man today. Possibly the greatest munster championship ever won Luimneach abù daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 11/06/2023 16:21:25 2485528 Link
Great game. Clare too wasteful in the last 20 minutes. This Limerick team is near the end but still have some fight left, fair play to them. Kelly should have got a free at the end but that's karma for his dive in the Cork game. I thought the ref screwed Limerick all day so it evens out.

Should have been a free at the end but Limerick had some awful calls against them too. Barry Nash's 'jersey pull' on ODonnell comes to mind. blackspot91 (Limerick) - Posts: 1055 - 11/06/2023 16:35:54 2485533 Link

I'm glad to see a neutral commenting on the free count because what we feel we are watching is Limerick need to be fouled twice at times to get a free. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 11/06/2023 16:41:15 2485534 Link

Kelly should have got a free at the end but that's karma for his dive in the Cork game. I thought the ref screwed Limerick all day so it evens out." I thought the ref was quite consistent. Both sides got a few soft scoreable frees, mostly for holding by FF lines, but he let the game flow too and some fine, tough hits went in with no free given. The decision at the end is interesting. Time was well up, though. It'd be interesting to see the refs report on that one! Well done to Limerick, great team! And I think Clare if Cleary comes back fit, could yet have a big say in where Liam will spend the Fall and winter! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2229 - 11/06/2023 16:41:49 2485535 Link
I'd be running at Galway through the centre,yellow card for g Mc could be huge problem..some great fielding by defenders on both sides..what a pity a Leinster venue with a 30 thousand capacity isn't available,atmosphere would be terrific..can hear a lot from croke park.

Replying To blackspot91: "Should have been a free at the end but Limerick had some awful calls against them too. Barry Nash's 'jersey pull' on ODonnell comes to mind." I thin that's fair. Clare got everything throughout the match I thought. They still have a right to be annoyed over the last call though because of where, and more importantly when it was Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3590 - 11/06/2023 17:21:02 2485541 Link

Each game sees lots of marginal calls and they normally are given against Limerick in recent times . Clare need to get the head down and it could be a Limerick. Clare all ireland final as well . OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 742 - 11/06/2023 17:25:13 2485543 Link
Hate to admit it but serious guts from Galway here. Looked like they were going to be blown away at one stage. One or two Galway supporters irritated me earlier in the year the way the spoke about us so for once was praying for a Kilkenny exhibition which is a strange feeling Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3590 - 11/06/2023 17:26:35 2485544 Link

They have had problems for a long time now with going at them down the centre. A patched up Kk team…..not a good watch from a Galway point of view even if they do go on to win this. Just don't really see what Shefflin has brought to kilkenny. Not as bad as Lohans lack of change but P mannion has been woeful here and he's still on tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/06/2023 17:26:39 2485545 Link

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Ithe ag an Cait, fuil ar a smut :-)" I think you have every chance Barney after watching the 2 games today. As do Tipp. 2 great exciting games but loads of mistakes both on the pitches and on the lines. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15785 - 11/06/2023 17:45:49 2485553 Link
