The best thing that Limerick could have done was actually say nothing and just come down and play. They have a relatively good record in the last 20 years - thinking about 1996 and 2001 - so they should just get on with it. I am not sure if I was a Limerick hurler I would be overly impressed with the intervention on their behalf. It is actually a good opportunity for them to come down and 'spoil the party' as it were but they have probably just given ammo to the Cork team with their CB's behavior. Very disappointing from Limerick CB as Limerick is a very sporting county with great sports fans (I live in Limerick at the moment).

To be honest you could be forgiven lately for thinking there was an agenda against Cork (I am not saying there is). Since last sept you had the likes of Eddie Keher out doing his best impression of Helen Lovejoy, yet he went very quiet when TJ Reid was doing a carbon copy of Nash's style Davy Fitz was at the same thing about Nash and has been complaining about refs since last summer, yet was happy enough to benefit from the extended injury time in the drawn all ireland final. Now you have the Limerick GAA trying to influence a switch of venues while at the same time saying 'we are not trying to switch the munster final venues' The match should be played in PUC, regardless of capacity. An agreement is an agreement. Limerick should keep to its word.

Least also by having it in cork it would inject some needed cash into our local economy, think local!

The munster council will no doubt talk about health and safety or even extra attendance but this is bull****. Could you imagine if cork pulled out of an agreement with clare - they would call for a public inquiry or god forbid poor old limerick. There is an agreement in place, it was good enough for limerick and the munster council last year, the paircs revised capacity is just over 40,000 plenty big enough.

Cronins best game of the year was actually last Sunday,he was far sharper in the second half,won some good ball down on the Old Stand side,passed the ball off well. A massive improvement by him because up to that to be fair hes done f.all for a long time. Hopefully that'll give him some confidence because he badly needs something to get going for a full 70mins! Options if we drop him? NoT many on the bench. Those that say drop him and start Paudie Sull are leaving us with no big decent target man inside as Paudie is too small for that job,Harnedy is wasted in their,as is Lehane and Hoggy is the man we need to take the scores,not create the chances for others. I was in for the Intermediate game on Sunday and both Peter O Brien and Michael O Suillivan had great games,both big men,I know Peter got a run in the League few months back,from talking to a few that watch him closely they say he's a great intermediate man,but struggles when it comes to the next level,could he be an option if worked on? Theres not a whole pile wrong with last Sundays team.....but their a few mistakes away from getting a right beating if certain areas aernt tightened up on. Footballers out on Saturday night down the Pairc,Juniors on beforehand,will they get 10,000 at it? Fine Saturday evening,with the majority of the diehard football support coming from West and mid-Cork,will the hay be saved by then!
