seems very quiet on the hurling front hope we are not starting to take things for granted.Went throgh alot of west limerick on sun not a lot of flags out .Any team news

lim4ev · 03-08-2021 11:21pm

From what im hearing tickets are the main issue so maybe that's why its quiet here. The team at this stage near picks itself I'd imagine dan and gillane will start we'll need them all Waterford are flying and will be hard beat

High bike · 04-08-2021 8:35am

If Dan come back in and I think he should,who's left out?

pajoguy · 04-08-2021 10:22am

Straight swap with ritchie.

The same team that started the 2nd half the last day should start this weekend. Gillane and Morrissey in, Mulcahy and English out.

For all the talk of Waterford, their opponents the last 2 days didnt turn up and still could/should have turned them over. Waterford score heavily but are weak at the back. They conceded a HUGE amount last weekend against a misfiring team and it could have been more. Tipp probably left 3 goals behind them and a penalty. Galway only got their act together with 15 minutes left and nearly caught them. We should be exposing that weakness at the back.

If Tipp were within 2 of them into injury time we will be 5 or 6 clear in the same position. Anything like the 2nd half Munster final performance and we blow them away.

Only have two niggles. 1. being we havnt hit the ground running this season in games and 2. Waterford have a knack of creating this kind of manic energy in games where things decent into the uncontrollable. If we start slow and Waterford create this energy anything can happen but the 3 or 4 to 1 price for Waterford the bookies are giving is a fair reflection in my book. The management have the capability of making the right changes at the right time so if we look in trouble it can still be sorted.

Big potential bannana skin, Waterford are absolutely flying it. The four matches back to back will have to take its toll but they handled similar last year to blow kk away in the semi. We haven't hit peak form yet so hopefully that arrives Saturday

High bike · 04-08-2021 11:02am

Don't see Waterford getting any closer to us this year than last year but we need to get going from the throw in

raindodger · 04-08-2021 11:21am

thought ritchie was a victim of the sun last day rewatched 2018 game v cork he was immense

C4000 · 04-08-2021 11:35am

Tickets available on ticketmaster now

billyhead · 04-08-2021 1:07pm

We need to perform for 70 mins on Saturday and not in patches. I'm very confident we will beat them.

I'm not confident for the same reason, Limerick haven't put together a solid 70 mins since last December imo. Momentum, such as it is, is with Waterford, especially since their game the last day kinda showed Tipp were way off where they would usually be. Why should we get carried away beating Tipp in a Munster final, especially given the first half Limerick had? It was a great comeback against what now appears to be an ordinary enough side (if any Tipp side is ever ordinary etc).

Is anyone having issues with gaa ticketmaster at the moment ? - trying to reset my password to buy my tickets for the game - but its telling me I'm a bot when I go to reset the password?

Tried on a phone/laptop - with minimum tabs open :-(

I think I just started again with a different email when it started giving me that crap

xredmanlfcx · 06-08-2021 11:55pm

Come on Limerick. These are days we live for!

billyhead · 07-08-2021 7:47am

I think we will win but Waterford are full of confidence so it might be close.

Red Silurian · 07-08-2021 11:35am

Just realised the match is on at the same time as the lions 3rd test today

Whoever scheduled that needs to be fired

breezy1985 · 07-08-2021 11:39am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117719265#Comment_117719265

Why ?

I wouldn't mind seeing the Lions but most important is that the hurling is on at a good time. Other sports should not factor into the GAA planning for games

Just record the Lions match. Anyway the hurlers will always take precedence over any other sports for me.

Red Silurian · 07-08-2021 12:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117719281#Comment_117719281

Well the timing of the lions match was already known for months and considering there would be huge rugby interest in Limerick so if I was in charge of the scheduling I'd be trying to avoid a clash

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117719291#Comment_117719291

That's your opinion, and it probably matches the opinion of about 50% o f the country, but what of everybody else. I'll probably have the lions on the telly and follow the hurling on Twitter

Ya I know an awful lot of Munster fans with an interest in hurling all of a sudden

Red Silurian · 07-08-2021 1:21pm

Nothing sudden about it, especially since the 2 sports usually run at different times of the year, lots of respect to the GAA from the IRFU as well for letting them into croker all those years ago

07-08-2021 1:53pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117719511#Comment_117719511

Don't think it's all that sudden tbh, Limerick has always been big into both sports (and soccer too). I know very few people who would follow one exclusively over the others. Bad night for Treaty United last night though there was a decent crowd at it, fwiw.

Nerves are fully up for the match now. Can't decide what way I think it will go, will wet weather and presumably a heavier pitch help Waterford after the 3 games or tire them out?

Red Silurian · 07-08-2021 2:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117719800#Comment_117719800

I would personally have very little interest in soccer but it's been so long since I've been at a match I'd have gone with bells on yesterday haha

I said Munster fans on purpose. Most sports fans in the city are multi sports fans but there were plenty of the stags looking down on hurling fans during Munsters glory days. I've seen a fair few heads I know who wouldn't be caught dead at a Limerick game in the 00s suddenly wearing all the gear round town.

I'm sure I'll meet a few in Croke Park today
