Absolutely nothing but respect to Kilkenny today an absolute titanic battle congrats and comizerations You don't know how much this means to us in Limerick I hope we do battle in next year's final!
Well done to the lads. There was only a score between the sides at the end and Limerick were really rattled in that second half. Our full-back line were outstanding.
Well done to Limerick, fantastic team.
End of Cody. Good effort but better team won.
Well done boys. Gave their all and can be very proud of that performance. Limerick a great team and worthy champions.
Even though we are hanging on in there, if we continue to play the way we are, Limerick will end up winning by 6-10 points. Our tactics have to change big time. KK have to figure out how to get around the cynical fouling that Limerick commit any time we get within 40 yards of their goal. We need goals because Limerick will be confident they can score more points than us.
He's made some of the absurd comments during what could loosely be called analysis. Might be a decent fella but not the brightest bulb.
A kittle from the ref would help too
Did well to hang on after that Limerick start, need more from the full forward line
4 points in it and haven't really hurled at all. Only picking up scraps. Not close to the breaking ball. Big improvement necessary in 2nd half. Maybe wally and donnelly on. I'm expecting richie hogan in before long too
c'mon the Cats, give it all.
Best of luck to the players, management team and backroom staff today.
I know they will all give 100% and keep going to the final whistle, I just hope our tactical approach is spot on.
We can only give 100% and we will give it. Fair play to Cody changing our style. He deserves credit for this but its going to be a mammoth task today. I fully expect us to hit them right to the final whistle and hopefully come home as champions. Up the cats!!!!
What changes did you hear?
Heard there could be a few changes today maybe even 2 or 3
Best of luck to everyone anyway. Nice stir here around croke park. It would be some capture if we could pull it off.
Here’s hoping,we’ll still be proud of all our men tomorrow regardless.Best of luck.
Safe travels to everyone tomorrow, can't wait for it!
best of luck tomorrow lads , would have vastly preferred if it was us but them the breaks, think we have a few more years to go before we really make another challenge
that really good kilkenny team from the minors of 2018 is starting to show its hand now too ,
Best of luck to Kilkenny. Hoping for the best but fearing the worst
Fair play.... Limerick had a lot of tough times over the years so nobody could begrudge their success in recent times. I'm a huge admirer of this Limerick team and they won't be easily beaten tomorrow. Just hoping we can edge it by one or two points.
Best of luck to the Kilkenny lads.
Limerick man heading to my 15th AI
final tomorrow, lots of heartache in the 90’s and 2007 but thankfully we have had some amazing days of late.
Fearful of the coming cats but hopefully we will have enough in the tank to get us over the line in a tight clash.
Limerick have been very flat and lacking the intensity and dog of the last two years, expect a huge game from Hego and Hayes tomorrow.
HON LIMERICK
Best of luck to Brian and all the senior team tomorrow... Is feidir linn.
I find the tension a bit draining this year. I think its fear of a bad beating the closer it gets!
That's sport winners and losers.
Sad thing is we are way ahead of the chasing pack now.
I knew he had 11 as a manager but didn't know how many limerick currently had..thanks
Ya that's 11 as manager.
Obviously as manager is kinda new in hurling I think Kiely is next with 3
Will be interesting to see "tougher and tighter" Leinster game thing tested. Despite this theory, Kilkenny leaked huge scores against supposedly softer and looser Waterford and Cork in the two semi finals defeats of the last couple of years.
Is
Is that just as a manager? He won a few as a player too..genuine question I'm not stirring..just curious
If as a manager he is currently ahead of limerick would that mean he is only behind the so called big three? Some pub quiz question if so
I'm more worried it's like 2018. Fired up underdog vs a very tired looking champions.
Btw if Limerick win tomorrow we can go level with Brian Cody in All Irelands won 😱
Find the same. Very serious fellow.
Here's hoping we dog out the final win of the year.
