All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2026 (Munster & Leinster Championships, Liam McCarthy Cup)

It's not really though. The ref completely bottled sending off Barry Nash. Black card or second yellow take your pick. Hegarty was walking a bit of a tightrope and I think Byrnes would have been unlucky to see red for that but plenty thought he should have. Equally Shane O Donnell can consider himself lucky as well.

big win for Limerick but I think Clare are way better than that showing

Clare know if they beat tipp and they are guaranteed getting out of Munster. Tipp are not going as well as last year and Clare I believe are favourites for the game.

even if they lose to tipp they know Cork won’t likely go full strength in last game if Cork have beaten Waterford in meantime.
and tipp are not going to beat Limerick in Limerick. That’s not happening.

So Clare for me are still favourites to get at third place.

The game is already destroyed with stoppages as it is. Mistakes happen, tough sh1t.

The fella thrown to the ground is usually the one hanging off the other fellas back. I think a free is a more appropriate punishment though. I hate those one or both players yellowed for a tangle cards.

The amount of cow manure on this forum is beyond belief. The simple fact of the mater Clare were dire.

you cant balme the referee after an inept performance like that , limerick were equally excellent with their off the ball movement and rigid backs , only peter duggan had a good game in a clare jersey , mark rodgers was ok too but missed 3 frees he would normally score in his sleep

Paul kinnerks tactics are written all over todays performance and clare had no answer for it , the referee was as poor for limerick as he was for clare ,

Byrnes on sod looked a perfect shoulder to shoulder. Only issue is o donnell didn't see it coming and was fairly shook after it.

O donnell on o brien was more illegal but a red would have been extremely harsh.

i said it on here yesterday , donal og hates clare and no one in clare has any time for donal og 😂🤣

I haven't read it and have no wish to for my own sanity and peace of mind. But I can only guess!!

You'd wonder how people find the time to concentrate on the match on the TV while typing inane nonsense online at the same time 🙄🙄

It was straight to the chest and clipped his chin too. Wasn't anywhere near a clean shoulder.

that was a poor call espically that there were umpires 5 yards away , but clare supporters cant be saying the ref cost us , it was a terrible performance coincided with a ruthless display from limerick , we have a lot to get right for tipp in two weeks time

his linesman was chriss mooney today another suspect offical , colm lyons was the other who is an excellent refferee but there was a clear objective to let the game go today and we were not up to the battle simple as

in terms of his interpetation he is the closest to fergal horgan in my opinion that is currently on the books , horgan was a good ref in my opinion

Shane o brien, aiden o Connor and cathal o neill got 1-12 from play between them today and were outstanding again. I find Limerick fans online very hard on these talented players when its actually some of the older lads have been poor for the past 2 years.

Some of them like finn and byrnes look back to their old self this year

same for nash
