Its all over now but the Lunacy of Penalties for a hurling match not fair on players/managers/fans borrowed from the World Cup.
I wish high profile Managers and County Officials made more noise about thinks can change remember the Skorts issue has to be changed at Congress except the players reacted reasonably and then did they not convene a special congress? anyway changes happened
Hard to see anything but a good win for Limerick

Replying To Mads: "I get the point about starting our first 15, however at the same time, if there is another extra time later on in the championship or someone goes down early through injury the lads coming in need to be sharp. I think I definitely would start Barry murphy for proper croke Park experience. DOD I feel is improving all the time and a full game could be the makings of him. Playing him alongside Adam English and giving WOD a rest wouldn't do much harm to anyone and finally CON instead of TOM. Not saying any of these would necessarily start against the
Cats but at least they would have benefitted from that starting game particularly in croke Park.
Unfortunately I was never in a position to make the quarter due to other commitments, however, I think it has worked out as a great way to get valuable experience for the young lads and sharpness into the other lads. We were always a bit sluggish starting in our other semis, that shouldn't be the case against the cats which is vital. I Don't think the game against the Dubs will be too easy, any win by a few points will do just to get the last result out of the system." " I think it has worked out as a great way to...", unless of course, Dublin win.

Full strength team for Saturday. No sign of the bull so hopefully it is just a small knock he is carrying. Glad to see O'Connor get another run out, just did nt click for him the last night but he did do a lot of things right.
Hopefully we can fly out of the blocks and then empty to bench to get minutes into the subs who will be key if we are to go all the way.

Later on in the championship? How about solely concentrating on the game at hand? I very much doubt that Dublin, Galway or Tipp are thinking about games later on in the championship.

The team picked says all you need to know about Limerick's mentality. Go full on, or go home. There will be no next game if we don't take care of this game first. If we are not able to beat Dublin first, then we have no business thinking we can beat Kilkenny

I assume O Brien must be injured.
Must have been a close call then between Casey, Cathal O Neill and O'Connor (and maybe even Flanagan) for a forward spot
I heard on a podcast (I think it was TJ Ryan) that O Connor had been tearing up trees in training, specifically the 15 v 15 games and that was how he got in for the Munster final. Another big chance for him, he got on plenty of ball the last day but missed a couple of easy scores. But then almost everybody except Gillane did the same.
I still think Cathal O Neill would add a lot as a starter. He brings so much energy, pace and power when he comes in, full of running, but is probably still getting up to full speed especially in terms of his shooting. I think he would add a lot as a starter in a semifinal or a final. But I have no idea who you would leave off to accommodate him.
Casey I just think is a step or two behind right now but is a great player to be able to bring in.
Low key enough build up to this game, and indeed for both QFs. They seem to be squeezed into the calendar, when they really should be center stage on Sunday. I know there were commitments to the Tailteann Cup but these should be some of the biggest hurling games of the year but they seem like an afterthought. Needs to change for next year

Is it all as straightforward as pundits are predicting ? I reckon Dublin hurling is improving and Na Fianna are all ireland club champions although they've only 2 on the Dublin team .Their manager O Ceallachain is no mug , Think it'll be a lot closer than people are expecting and a big Dublin crowd in for second half could drive them on if their still in the game
