Come on you Cats!!
Blanchfield not starting, Wally Walsh in instead.
That'd be a Waterford reference I'd have thought. It's very damp here in Croker but it's not lashing. Let's hope there will be no regrets this evening and we will have the trophy.
That’s why people used to say Galway never won when they were in the Connacht championship
they had no competitive games and then had to get up to all-Ireland semi final level
you can argue it both ways, but you can’t argue with the fact that nobody could beat them
Jimmy the sulk teams are always poor after you beat them some of those Wexford teams weren’t half bad and either were the dubs. We bet every team in Munster at least twice over, so your talking bullshit we were a serious team so don’t slight there achievements.
I dont know. I was just laughing at the banter
In fairness our great team from the noughties didn't have to come out of Munster. They had to beat an Offaly team in serious decline and one of the worst ever wexford teams. So Leinster was a cakewalk and we only had to peak for a maximum of 2 games every year.
Is the Fleetwood reference due to their owner recently being convicted of fraud.
The weather is miserable in Dublin. I got soaked going to the off licence. Loads of fans about Limk prob a good 2 to 1 against KK fans. God help the girls with Mascara and Fake Tans lol. I stopped for a quick pint in the local and the craic was good. A Dub giving the Limk fans loads saying its Man City v Fleetwood Town in terms of the money JP is ploughing into Limk. They were not impressed to say the least and saying he doesnt put that type of money in lol. Anyway best of luck to KK today. i feel with this weather the team with a bit of luck on the will win.
I think we need to get at least 0-8 from Phelan, Donnelly , Mossy and Billy to have a chance. For me, we are in a position I didn’t think we’d be in back in January. Neither team will fear the other and I’ve no doubt we get 100% from all the lads. Best of luck.
Got as far as " my name is Dan and ..." before the sky's darkened . It was worse than going to an AA meeting!
No. Knockout every day you go out.
Munster hurling is not all its made out to be.
It's 2023 Dan no need to hide in the closet..say it loud and proud..my name is Dan and I'm a kilkenny supporter 😁
🤣!
I took the 11/4 myself although I had to wear a mask and sunglasses putting on the bet + I went to confession afterwards!
I took us at 13/2 before the semis.
Most serious punters I know are taking the 11/ 4 on Kilkenny. Limerick are deserving favourites but 11/4 is great odds.
It's been a great year.
I said at the start of the year that I was giving Lyng a grace period this year to give himself a chance to sort the panel out and implement his ideas. To get to an All Ireland final in year one is fantastic.
Roll on 15:30.
Huge limerick crowd around as expected.
Very best of luck to everyone. Please God we get the win
Is it not harder? A lot more intense game now, especially in Munster
Best of luck to the players, management and backroom staff. I know they'll all give 100% and hopefully Cody will be walking up the steps of the Hogan Stand after the full time whistle
I know Kilkenny arent Mayo but Mayo lost 11 All Irelands since 1989. Anything is possible.
Not long left now. Kilkenny just can't lose another final. It's incomprehendible that we'd lose 4 finals in a row. Come on the cats
Gillane v Lawlor and Casey v Cody are two battles to decide it. Cody is like a lad on a mission and heart over head fancy kilkenny to do it.
Different Gillanr this year tho'
Last year he was carrying a knock that might have prevented him from starting.
Limerick by 4
Great post. Best chance kk have imo is. Start wally on Hayes and try and curtail him. Push up on Limerick backs, dont let them work it out and leave Lawlor and Gillane one on one and pray he gets the breaks. He cleaned Gillane last year so i am optimistic. Kilkenny are very average from 5 to 12 with the exception of Mullen. Hopefully our goalie, our excellent full back line and our 2 outstanding men in the full forward line pull us through.
This not a four in a row like either the recent KK team or the Cork team of the forties. Limerick lost one match and drew another in Munster this year.
Kerry in the 80s went to their fifth final so did kilkenny but we had an extra game. Dublin won 6 with no losses either. These are proper successive titles. It's not taking from Limerick but this is fact.
It's a 2 horse race lads. There may be a few changes coming before throw in but the lads will give it everything. Hunger and desire won't be lacking. Best of luck to Derek and the lads. Roar em on!
Every supporter will have to be heard today to will these boys home
not trying to rain on the parade but i think limerick will win tomorrow , but the work lyng has done is cody mark 2, he is a fantastic coach and i feel the over emphasis on underage success in clare , cork and tipp will not exactly reappear
if you take the game football manager and play a 4-14-1 formation thats all we done the last day in croke park and ran the ball through the lines for the entire second half , we created multipal goal chances but only took one , lyng spotted the gaps out wide and some unbelivabke scores from the likes of paudi walsh and ritchie hogan finished us off
the problem with limerick is that same football manager formation of 4-14-1 has been their game plan for years with hard running down the center and short passing off the shoulder , the one up front is beyond deadly too , its a hard system to play against so as a nutral i will be going local in my selection but long term ye are in seriously good hands on the line
