What's the story with Quaid is it an injury or just resting for the league ?

Also Elverys by the Parkway are selling off last seasons jerseys for €35 if anyone is interested

Donal O Grady.......TG4 commentary was shocking when limerick involved........joins cork and they "a running game in first league match".........limericks league has seen them whistled off the park

Its a stretch to connect the dots ok, but will be interesting to see how this game is policied saturday

What does that even mean? Its a stretch to connect anything not to mind dots...
Not a clue what you're trying to say about O'Grady?

Hope Cathal O Neill gets another run at some stage,he's much better than he has shown so far

He has had it in for Limeick since the Tj thing. However I am being facetious with my conspiracy theory...thought that was obvious.

paddy no 11 · 06-06-2021 8:27am

Good win and would say English, hannon and gillane were totally off the pace, plenty of room for improvement

slegs · 06-06-2021 11:02am

Lots of positives. Lynch was brilliant, Byrnes best game in ages, Tom Morrissey back to best. Controlled closing down of Cork in first half was great to see. If we get a bit more accurate there is a 50 point game in this Limerick side.

Not buying this shadow boxing stuff. When Limerick lost the previous two weeks Waterford and Galway were being lauded. Was that shadow boxing? The league is a warm up competition this year and Limerick are warming up at the right time

puzl · 06-06-2021 12:40pm

Lynch was on fire yesterday. His basic skills, reading of the ball, and distribution...

It's rare to see a player so endowed with skill to be so selfless with the ball. He will always look for a player in a better position than him even when he is a decent scoring opportunity.

PeggyShippen · 06-06-2021 7:07pm

Great team performance. Think O Donovan was very good and Lynch. What's the story with Gillane? Some of his wides just simply weren't on at all. He must have had 6 snapshots and got 1.

Yup, that is a concern, along with Richie English being poor on the ball and getting burned after that we look strong

Hopefully Finn is ok

Mehapoy · 15-06-2021 2:46am

So the hurling league is over and limerick go back to preparations for the championship in 3 weeks. John seemed happy with how the league went and it was clear they were not focussing on being at peak or anywhere near it until end of July i would say. They got gametime into players such as Coughlan, O'Grady, O'Neill, Quinlan and Costello which should allow a wider range of options later in the summer. Negatives were the disjointed campaigns of some of our stars, it will be hard to see how they will be performing when facing Cork in July. Lack of goals is becoming an issue, i think the other challengers have that in their locker whereas we dont have any real dependable goal getters, all our forwrads, apart from Pat Ryan, are more comfortable putting it over the bar.
Overall they are entitled to take it a little easier this time of year and peak later than attacking the league like last year especially with the way the 2 comps are so close together this year.

raindodger · 02-07-2021 9:48am

The calm before storm .Nervous to see what way we play.Both teams will be going hell for leather.Limerick abu

slegs · 02-07-2021 11:35am

Very big game for Limerick. Momentum wasn't great until the end of league so losing tomorrow could be a big blow.

High bike · 02-07-2021 11:39am

Strange that Dan is dropped,wondwr is he carrying a knock

slegs · 02-07-2021 1:02pm

Like that team. Great to see Casey and Flanagan starting. Hope they do the business as we need a bit more from the full forward line and hopefully goals too. Richie English and Darragh O'Donovan back as starters too. Hope Richie is back fit as he was a colossus in 2018/19

billyhead · 02-07-2021 1:21pm

Although I can see Cork putting it up to us I can see us winning by 5/6 points in the end.

02-07-2021 1:52pm

Perhaps I am alone in expecting a Cork win? Think Limerick have looked tired since the start of the league. I know it's hard to judge given different teams have different fitness regimes but think this year might be a bridge too far for them.

High bike · 02-07-2021 2:10pm

Paddy power will give u 2/1 Cork if u want to have a bet

I'm not expecting even a close match. Cork have very few ball winning forwards. Maybe they will get away without them but for that to happen they will need a number of goals

This year more that ever it is very hard to know, the league was utterly meaningless and told us nothing. You know to a certain extent what you will get from Limerick and what level they will reach, with Cork its impossible to know. You will have a fair idea after 15 mins.

On all known evidence you would have to give Limerick the verdict but a Cork win wouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world, nor would it be if Limerick obliterated them, that's the beauty of Cork!

I think there's a chance that teams will have Limerick figured out as the year works out but this will be a huge upset if it happens. Lots will give it the old "never write off", "anything can happen", "Cork have caused Limerick problems" stuff, but you would be close to alone in expecting a Cork win.

Then again lots of things are obvious once they happen so maybe you're onto something.

Tommy Walsh said much similar on Off The Ball yesterday.
He thinks a Cork win is very possible as they have the speed to trouble Limerick and get goals.
However when pushed for his verdict, he reckoned Limerick would just about shade it.
The league was a complete joke this year and nothing can concluded from it.
Cork have some outstanding players but are far from the complete package some in the media make them out to be.

PeggyShippen · 03-07-2021 7:50am

Cork have a great chance if they sort out the puck out. Personally I don't fancy English over Morrissey in the fullbackline. Not for one second. English can be abit erratic on the ball and he got turned awfully easy in the league match against a fantastic prospect it must be said. Id like to see a limerick go for the kill early and try for goals. The longer Cork stay in this the higher their confidence. This is a huge game. The back door looks too hard ,too many games in a short space of time. And for me if Cork win they won't beat Tipperary in the Munster final. And thats Tipp into an All Ireland semi. That's not something I'd like to see at all at all.

Looking at the previous post they seem to be in an All Ireland semi final never mind the Munster final. John Mullane close to a stroke every time Cork give away a "needless free" which seems to be all of them.

PeggyShippen · 04-07-2021 9:19am

The trilogy of matches on Sky was very good. Jamsie o Connor is so good..a really insightful contribution and he backs it up with evidence. The Limerick game camera work wasn't super but I suppose they'd 3 matches..It was still better than RTE which wouldn't be hard. Sky should get the whole package..with RTE only guaranteed the final.

Pardon me but you were the one that started going on about Sky being tabloid. Iv no problem keeping it to sport but I will respond to people who assume left wing rethoric represents the mainstream. RTE needs a clean out like what's going on in the BBC.
I think today's game in Munster will be fascinating. I can see Clare playing great but not winning. That would mean a Tipp v Limerick final in Cork. To be honest I don't see a Flanagan/ Gillane axis getting enough scores in a two man full forward line. Its not Flanagan I'm worried about. I think Gillane needs a reality check. Fantastic talent but didn't deserve an All Star last year. He's not making enough runs this year and his shooting is way off. Frees are actually good and he passed 2 great balls yesterday..One to Lynch for a point and one well weighted pass to Hayes for a goal. There needs to be more from Gillane. I might start Boylan the next day ahead of Morrissey but that's probably abit unfair on Morrissey.

For what it's worth, got a day pass on NowTv for a tenner, well worth it for the hassle free watching it.

Thought we were trouble with 10 mins to go but Cork froze up a bit.

Limerick were no where near there best but still won comfortably enough, a sign of a great team as was the timing of the goals. He wont admit it but I would say that Kiely was absolutely delighted, got the win, no injuries and a tonne to work on and improve, really a perfect way to win a semi final.

Mehapoy · 04-07-2021 1:01pm

Good to get an 8 point win while not playing well but, like the league, no real form shown. For instance first 2 balls into the full forward line Gillane was yards behind and an easy clearance for the Cork defense. In the second half it was hard to see where Limerick were going to get a score, Casey was good, Lynch in patches but the other 4 forwards were poor, Hegarty will get the line some day with the lazy tackling.
Hoping to get Tipp over Clare in the Minster final as its a real indication of where we are before things go up a notch.
Hopefully the team is still gearing up for peaking end of July so a first round munster match is not the place to deliver a perfect performance, but get the feeling some may be resting on their laurels a bit.
if we're in an all ireland final it will be worth it though, trusting that the management know what they are doing and any complacency will be addressed and someone else given a chance.

I don't think Limerick are anywhere near as physically sharp as they were last December. Some amount of aimless balls out over the sideline in the second half, coupled with poor wides and they look like a team that's relying on muscle memory to get them out of trouble. No idea what happened Cork but they left us off the hook big time in the second half, would other teams be so wasteful?

I don't know if it's people resting on their laurels though as much as not being physically right for the Championship so soon after the last one ended.

Biggest worry for me is teams don't really have the time to get physically right at this stage of the season.

On line link and first come first served.

But I think that may have been influenced by the late decision to allow an increased attendance and there was no time to arrange allocation to clubs etc. so it might be a bit different now that they have two weeks.

Munsterbhoy · 18-07-2021 6:36pm

At half time I thought we were done & looking at a 15/16 pt hammering. Poor league campaign and mediocre at best against Cork last time out. Incredible turn around in the 2nd half and looking like the team that won 2 all irelands. Gillane a lucky boy to not to get the líne. Flanagan was more clumsy than deliberate, similar to lynch getting one in the throat. Delighted and relieved this evening.

LMK · 18-07-2021 10:18pm

What a win to complete 3 MSHC in a row

They were second best in the first half but never gave in, Tipp seemed to dissolve after half-time but the energy that Limerick brought at that time was huge.

They do it their way for sure, they'll be hard to handle from here on in, next stop Croke Park, Luimneach abu!!

paddy no 11 · 19-07-2021 10:28am

What a comeback, from being 10 down to the game being over at 55 mins was incredible

A couple of things to consider, why did management persist with English at full back when he is a corner back and Dan was immense last year, English gave up 2-1 before going off but im not sure if it wasn't for the injury that the switch would have been made

Lynch was ridiculously good

Tom Morrissey got 2 class points when we were struggling

Darragh really struggled in the first half but he got the short passing going after half time and got a rhythm going from 35-40 mins and one we found our stride they were immense

The indiscipline, form of Hannon, hegarty and others means we can't get over confident

tranquilo · 19-07-2021 1:47pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117631163#Comment_117631163

I agree about Dan, he should be straight back into full back from here on out. I huge presence in there and made a big difference when he came on

shockframe · 19-07-2021 5:44pm

Brilliant comeback yesterday.

Over KIelys reign the first half was the worst but the second half was their best. We were always going to get our moments of dominance but no one was expecting the avalanche.

Flanagan and Nash were our best players over the course of the match but Lynch and Hayes were out of this world in the second. Hayes goal was just an absolute wonder.

A sloppy start like that again may not be as easy to recify in knockout and the forward discipline needs to be addressed in the next few weeks.

We've got to be in with a great chance now again. Theres a lot of rebuilding going on elsewhere and we look a lot stronger by comparison.

Tipp don't have the legs for it now. 5 or 6 of them have been around since 2009 and look like theres only a few weeks left for them. You couldn fault them for effort and they gave as good as they got but time waits for no one.
