    Exactly now people might realise why we were so patchy in the league.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,708 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    Well hopefully yesterdays performance wasn't our best of the championship.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,011 ✭✭✭✭Red Silurian


    Munster Champion will get a few weeks off now... Would it be worthwhile for a friendly between the munster champions and Kerry to take place in an attempt to keep them fresh?

    I think not playing any games between the munster final and the All-Ireland semi didn't do us much good

    I tipped Limerick many months ago and ye all thought I was mad! Then the media hype train (thanks Dalo) jumped on Cork and some people on here were saying Cork people were cocky! Well we're not even out of Munster, Clare are out completely, and Limerick are justified favourites for both Munster and the AI.

    It's realistically going to take either Cork or Tipp putting together a performance we haven't yet seen from them to knock Limerick off that perch lads, it pains me to say it! I don't even see any of the other sides coming close enough unfortunately.

    Cork tried the puckouts down on top of Byrnes again but they didn't get much value out of them as they had no extra man to gather the breaking ball or if they did get behind Byrnes the backs swallowed them up. Then for some reason they started pucking the ball into Hayes and he just cleaned up. The ref also stopped Cork taking quick puckouts. Also Limerick seemed more alive to these quick puck outs. Lynch was left do what he wanted too. Cork got a grip on the game after half time for a period. They seemed to close space better and stuck to Lynch more. Then we got the penalty and Cork seemed done. Our subs boosted us and we got a kick to finish it out.

    My take is Cork are inconsistent based on last year and this. If we do meet again I'd imagine it will be a different Cork performance. Hopefully we have no injuries. Great to see Peter Casey in full flight again.

    Been yrs since we've seen this limerick team play like this, great to see!

    On to the final, ppl saying it'll be at home for us v Cork but didn't they change it last yr to rotating to Limerick, Thurlas and Cork and had to be at neutral venue?

    So in that it's going to be Thurlas v Cork or In Cork v Tipp/Waterford?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    That's only if a neutral venue is required. So if Waterford or Clare make the final.

    It was to stop Clare crying about having to go "all the way" to Cork.

    Waterford can't make the Munster final this year so it's definitely vs Cork in Limerick or vs Tipp in Thurles.

    Clare are right not to want to go to Cork, at least until the M20 is built, they'd be risking player and supporter safety for no reason.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Ah ffs would you stop. "Safety" are you actually serious.

    Kerry and Cork football fans are asked to go up to Donegal and Fermanagh. Kilkenny fans up to Galway and Antrim.

    If you told any fan of any sport in Europe that Clare people thought Clare to Cork was "too long" they would think you the most lazy, fair weather fans on the planet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,011 ✭✭✭✭Red Silurian


    When there is a 44k capacity stadium just over the county boundary in Limerick and another a short train hop away in Thurles. There's at least one crash a week now on the N20 and almost always one when there's a match day (last Sunday near Patrickswell for example)

    The football f is different in that sense that they don't have the same home/away arrangements but you'd raise a few eyebrows if you put a Kerry V Cork game in Letterkenny for example

    Clare is the same because they don't have home and away arrangements. And actually yes football does have home and away arrangements just like hurling.

    Roscommon had to travel to Kerry over the weekend. I suppose that should have been cancelled because it's not motorway all the way from Roscommon to Kilarney .

    Literally everything you have said about the GAA the last few days has been wrong.

    Fairly sure Limerick won, but ok



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,329 ✭✭✭johnnyryan89


    Clare were right to complain. No point dragging everyone to Cork when you had Limerick and Thurles available. Heck I'd rather have to travel to Croke Park than to PUC for game anyday of the week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,127 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    To be fair, Roscommon stayed over the night before because the road is so bad and it’s a long ass trip. I know what you mean though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 660 ✭✭✭C4000


    Cork will surely not malfunction to that extent again. Aside from being blown out of it in the first half, they weren't even able to raise any meaningful effort playing with the wind. Their last point of the game was scored in the 48th minute.

    Some unreal performances from Limerick. Score of the game was just before half time, Reidy killed a puck out with 2 beautiful touches, laid it off to English who lofts a pass over his head to Morrissey. Morrissey catches under pressure and slots over from a narrow angle...

    For the clare game, I'd say they will look to keep up a good level of performance and keep the workrate levels up. I'd like to see around 4 changes.....sonething along the lines of Murphy, O Donovan, O Neill and P Casey to start with M Casey, Lynch, Morrissey and Reidy rested.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 157 ✭✭King Power Fox


    What kind of team will Clare put out. Will Lohan blood new players. Great to see Peter Casey back, was he moving well on Sunday as the TV will only show so much? Finn was great - didn't give his man a sniff and was always at the point of contact for any long ball in. I must say I though Tom Morrissey would struggle but he was buzzing as well. t To have Cathal O Neill in reserve is some depth of talent. And finally the Quaid- Hegarty telepathy was back - reminiscent of All Ireland final v Kilkenny in 2022.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭einn32


    I reckon it will be as strong as panel as possible for Clare. Lohan will want to win I'd say. I'd say we will put out a strong team with a sprinkle of lads from the bench possibly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,708 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    I don't think it will be the same team as Sunday. There will be a few changes. No point in risking injury to the likes of Hayes, Lynch, Gillane and Hego.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Clare will be full strength.

    Assuming they have no more tantrums.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭einn32


    Hannon, Peter Casey, Flanagan and DOD will surely start.

    You could also add B Murphy, aidan o c and coughlan to that list too and still have a v good starting 15
