I think his comments were based on how obviously the referee yesterday was influenced so much by a vociferous Waterford support.. i have seldom seen a referee as easily influenced as he gave soft frees to Waterford and ignored virtually all fouls on Limerick players. One pull across Gearoid Hegarty would in most games have drawn a card but yesterday, not even a free. Imo John Kiely wants the Limerick support in the Gaelic grounds to be as vociferous against Cork and ourselves a week later. Roll on those 2 games; both of which I have my Golden Ticket for!!!!

It's Colm Lyons though. Could have been no crowd there and he'd have reffed the same way.

Any time Lyons refs, if its close, bet on the draw.

He does his absolute best every time to keep a team in the game. And if its close coming down the stretch, he'll manufacture a draw.

In reality we were a good bit better than Waterford yesterday.

If Clares form is true, we should be seeing to them on the final day.

Its about putting a dent in Cork now.

Lyons is always a 16th man for whoever is playing against Limerick.

What's the story with Hannon? Is he injured?

Reidy was interviewed and seemed to say he was back training.

Very good performance overall. Scored consistently throughout the game and were comfortably the better team.

Finn and Morrissey were excellent at the back. Was sitting parallel to the full back line in the second half. Finn absolutely unreal at judging exactly when to get the stick in to prevent his man from winning ball.

Lynch is in absolute peak form at the minute. Reidy wasn't involved from a scoring perspective but had an excellent game tracking back and linking up the play.

Prudent decision to sub Byrnes given the ref involved and the fact that Coughlan was available to come in. He backed up his thurles performance with another solid display. One of many players that won their battles under the high ball.

Hayes at 6 is the obvious option for the overall structure of the team. His attacking threat isn't completely lost as O Donoghue is primed to drop back and cover when Hayes forages forward.

Kiely has issued the rallying call for 2 weeks time. Should be some occassion and an opportunity to lay a serious marker down.

It's hard for fans in these games you are expected to win. If you don't it's doom and gloom and if you do shure you were expected to anyway.

Cork and Clare won't be the same either at home or away for Limerick fans. Winning those will have the euphoria from a win in the bad old days.
