    As the only poster to predict a Limerick victory, i'll take my bow now.

    On holidays in southern Italy and so disappointed to have missed this historic victory. Finally we get to play a championship match at Croke Park. Kind of ironic it should have happened when we are without 3 of best players and the heart of this team that is John Galvin. I hope this inspires the hurlers tomorrow, we can take Dublin too if we show even half the balls our footballers did tonight. Well done to Ian and all the lads.

    Luimneach abú!

    Grenache,I can't believe you missed it. What on earth were you thinking booking holidays during gaa season!

    Whatever John Galvin is doing on waterboy duties it's definately working :) Ian had a great game, was realy delighted for his parents too.

    Well done you:D

    To be fair, 4 of us on the football pools prediction thread predicted a Limerick win - I actually said they would win by 4:D

    Seriously delighted for Limerick football fans, well earned day out in Croker awaits!

    I wonder will they be as mouthy when they are surrounded by Dubs in Semple stadium tomorrow?

    I really can't see Dublin bringing the same crowd as Limerick in Semple tomorrow?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,942 ✭✭✭wingnut


    I think the undoing of Wexford wasn't the game last night but loosing to the Dubs took too much wind from the sails. I'm a Wexford fan but raised and live in Limerick so have to say fair play to boys in the green they were hungrier on the night.

    Very poor standard of game management which is the plague of the GAA these days:
    • Both umpires on one goal waved a point wide then changed their minds on the protestation of Limerick players!!!! I'm not talking about the last point of the game but earlier on.
    • FOUR minutes of extra time was announced, two were played (with Masterson receiving treatment for most of time).

    Bit crazy to be honest. It wasnt even a free anyway to set up that situation.

    It was never a free to begin with but its impossible to see if the ball went over the bar from that camera angle.

    However the referee was well placed.

    Neither umpire should ever be let near a game again though.

    Umpires did not take this game serious at all . - Should be definately sacked .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭padraig_f


    Watched on the Sunday Game, pictures were inconclusive. With 2 out of 3 officials saying it was a point, I'm happy to agree with that.

    The Wexford goalie Masterson should get off his high horse, there was an earlier incident that tv pictures had proven to be a point, and he was frantically waving wide trying to influence the umpire to make the wrong decision, so his opinion has no credibility. Also I think referees should start giving yellow cards for this, it's unsportsmanlike behaviour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,100 ✭✭✭Browney7


    Some fantastic highlights from RTE :rolleyes:. They didn't give a fiddlers about this game. Didn't even move the camera to follow the ball. No commentary for the footage aswell.

    Licence money well spent:rolleyes:

    Ammm the umpires did a pretty good job making wrong decisions on their own. Why did masterson have the benefit of tv pictures as well? Why couldnt he think it was wide?. The limerick players ran over to try infuence the umpire for the last point. Is this unsportmanlike behaviour then as well?

    I was at the game and was watching the ref because I felt it was a point and he was telling the umpires to put up the flag before the Limerick lads realised it was waved wide but our lads on the Sunday game made it look like Limerick players changed the umpires mind.

    Fantastic game. Both teams deserve full credit for 70 minutes of great entertainment. I wish Limerick well, sickener that they drew Kerry in the quarters.
    A few points
    1 Tony Davis lambasted the fact that the match was "played down the country". Portlaoise was the right venue, although I think the Wexford forwards would have benefited from the extra space in Croke Park. Tony was on the money when he criticised the lack of coverage of the game. RTE only paid it lip service, ignoring the 37 scores, and focussing completely on a couple of the many controversial moments. This game was worthy of 20 minutes of highlights. Why do RTE persist in showing extensive highlights of games that had been shown live, cramming the rest into the few remaining minutes?
    2 The referee was not in control of a game that was always played in the right spirit. He made a few inexplicable decisions.
    a When Wexford won a free, it was taken from behind where the foul took place, absolutely commonplace - he hopped the ball. The main reason the free was taken back was that Limerick routinely blocked the free from the point of impact -which should result in the ball being brought in, yet he penalised Wexford for dissent three times, once crucially after Joey wadding had been fouled at least twice coming out, then fouled the ball on the sideline and protested. Bringing the ball in resulted in a score.
    b I was a little worried when I noticed in the programme that he had reffed Wexford a few times recently, but not Limerick. Refs seem to build up grudges against players/teams they regularly officiate.
    c Two crucial decisions went Wexford's way. One was the goal, when Bradley (while being fouled) lost control of the ball and caught it again- a free out, or in if it was an advantage. The other was the sending off, which only came about due to the umpires at the town end. From then on he only reffed one team, culminating in a ridiculous free which resulted in the final controversy.

    3 Having said all that, I thought the free was a point, and that Limerick showed fabulous hunger. Wexford erred in the substitutions when a man up, and persisted in short kick outs, allowing Limerick to funnel back as we crawled up the pitch, when Daithi Waters was absolutely lording it in midfield.

    4 Wexford played David Murphy as the spare man. There was 50 yards between the full back line and midfield- there was no Wexford half back line for most of the match, with over 20 players in the Limerick half. David is too slow to cover that much space- it should have been Malone or Flynn.

    5 Limerick and Wexford showed that there are fantastic footballers in Division three. Every county has them. Just look at poor Joey Wadding's summer -- he had to mark Niall McNamee, Dessie Dolan, Bernard Brogan, and Ian Ryan. He should have been taken off Ryan- the height advantage was too much.

    6 Wexford's defeat may be a blessing in disguise. Have no doubt, these lads are going to be contenders for a few years. There are half a dozen of the U-21's bursting a gut for a jersey, and only Colm Morris and possibly David Murphy are running out of time. The system we use is too predictable, it needs variation. We can use what we now do at times, but switch to three up and man to man at times, especially if we have a five point lead- that's when you go for the jugular.

    No sour grapes, Limerick were worthy winners. We have , I think, slightly better footballers, but the raw hunger and absolute honesty of the Limerick lads would not be denied. Hats off to both teams for a great nights entertainment, to the small but fanatical football fans in both counties who made it a great occasion, and the the GAA for the realistic gate prices. I got on the "uncovered stand" (what a great euphemism) for €15, and my two lads walked in free. We spent more in the chipper in Stradbally (good food by the way) on the way home. Loch Garman Abu!

    I agree with every thing you said. Even emailed RTE about your first point. It was a disgrace the coverage. 25 points from play and they showed about 4.

    They didn't show Stephen Kelly's wonderpoint....or if they did I missed it. I was looking forward to that.

    there was a load of scores in the first half that were better than some of the other muck they showed last night. but like has been said, only showing lip service. they showed Lyng kicking over a free, but I was more interested in seeing the foul for it. it was more than likely outside the box, but still would have liked a second view, and also why there was no yellow card issued for that foul as I thought it was erious enough to warrant it.

    Wendell says it best though, Limerick showed far more huinger and fight than we did, and deserved it for that alone. they never gave up and kept fighting all game long.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭Manuel


    Wexford will be down this week, but we can take heart from a good season, despite the missed opportunities. Our failure to take Dublin when they were there for the taking (again) hurts way more than last Saturday for me, but we'll just have to store away these bad experiences and come out the stronger for it next year.

    God knows I've been tempted to write off this Wexford team almost every year for the last 6 or 7 years when I thought they had gone as far as they could, and yet they keep coming back to defy the odds and the critics (with the exception of '09 maybe).

    Apart from the marvellous U-21 success, the performances of Molloy, Malone and Flynn were a joy to behold this year. We still seem to be short one or two natural inside forwards, but we're getting there. Maybe Ogie, Paudie Kelly or young O'Grady will be the ones to come in and shake it up.

    Got to get the f*ck out of Div 3 and push on next year. Regarding who will be in charge, it's hard to say. We need continuity, because if I'm not wrong, that's something we've had all through the resurgence of the last decade, right back from when Halligan stepped down and continued as selector with Pat Roe. I'd love Ryan to stay on, even in some kind of handover capacity, though that probably wouldn't suit him. If we can somehow retain the services of Ryan, along with Red, Morris, Murphy(s), Bradley for another year, I'd have high hopes for the coming season.

    Up Wexford!

    Have to agree with that, RTE showed 45 minutes of highlights of Cork vs Down after the Hurling on Sunday, a one-sided match that was already shown live on TV3 the day before. Some of the television scheduling beggars belief.

    Totally agree, pure BS the coverage, why did we need 45 mins of Cork V Down? Why not 15 mins of each match, is Cork V Down more important than the other counties? The Connacht final got 10 mins last week.

    Have only had a chance to watch that game on highlights. The umpires made a complete balls of the whole thing, even thought the winning point looked good.

    The Limerick players who jumped into the stand afterwards should be ashamed of themselves, however.

    Rediculous - Limerick reached the quarter finals for the first time ever - they should be allowed celebrate what everway they want as long as they show respect to the opposition - A couple of Limerick lads jumped the fence into their family and friends - nothing wrong with that. Its not like they jumped into the middle of Wexford supporters and started celebrating in their faces.

    Get off your high horse.............

    Wexford manager Jason Ryan got a fair slating in the local Wexord newspapers this week .

    Especially over his team selection and moreso his substitutions .

    Apparently he subbed one player early in the game and brought him back on near the end too .

    He is not a popular man in Wexford this week .

    Sorry, I'm just used to civilised celebrations. Jumping into the stands where Wexford fans sit is not on.

    Next you'll be defending Louth fans attacking referees because their team couldn't finish off a poor Meath side. :rolleyes:

    For God's sake, it's our first AI QF ever reaching, it was spur of the moment and was and as quickly as he realised what he was doing he went straight out again, you're getting worked up over nothing.

    And it's not as bad as the goading that went on with the Dublin players a few years ago, such as Brogan gesturing to his fans against Laois with only a few minutes remaining, event though Dublin were well on top of the scoreboard.

    Find something worthwhile to complain about:rolleyes:

    For God's sake, it's our first AI QF ever reaching, it was spur of the moment and was and as quickly as he realised what he was doing he went straight out again, you're getting worked up over nothing.

    I am calm! Jumping into the stands is not on, stop trying to defend it. Unless, of course, it's jumping onto the steps of the Hogan Stand to collect a trophy. But then, we are talking about Limerick here. ;)

    Yeah, Dublin are well used top collecting Sam from the Hoganstand:rolleyes:

    He was only in the stand a few seconds it wasn't planned or anything, find something worthwhile to complain about;)

    I said a trophy, not Sam. So this season, that would already include the Delaney Cup and the NHL Division 1 trophy, not to mention all the underage success.

    Anyway, back on topic.

    That makes no sense whatsoever, how the hell would Limerick collect a Leinster trophy:rolleyes:

    Yes Red Army, our Dublin friend really isn't at the races.

    The Delaney Cup is a LEINSTER/B]Trophy.

    I'm amazed I even had to explain that to you :confused:

    Oh well, might just run into a stand now :eek:

    You really are slow. Limerick have won no trophies, Dublin have won two at senior level. I never said Limerick had won the Leinster Championship or even entered that particular competition. It's true what they say about the areas outside of south-east Dublin, it seems. And it's probably true what they say about Limerick as well.

    Actually Limerick won the Division 2 of the league, which is a trophy last time I looked.

    And hopefully will add an U-21 Munster to it during the week.

    My apologies, I have no interest in Division 2.

    Nah, I'm afraid you are the one that is on the slow side, you foolishly mentioned the Delaney Cup a Leinster trophy that's always won in Croke Park, so how hell could Limerick collect a Leinster trophy in Croke Park? :rolleyes:

    Also, seen as that your idiotic argument of the player jumping into the crowd has fallen down around you, you are now concentrating on idiotic arguments to deflect attention away from your lack of intelligence.;)

    "Unless, of course, it's jumping onto the steps of the Hogan Stand to collect a trophy." Then I mentioned the trophies Dublin had won this year, which include the Delaney Cup. Do you understand the difference? Good lad. :cool:

    Oh dear, it really is similar to dealing with a playschool student, you insinuated that Limerick wouldn't be climbing the steps of the Hoganstand to collect a trophy and I pointed out to you that it is kind of impossible for Limerick to collect the Delaney Cup seen as they don't play in Leinster, reply back when you gain some intelligence :rolleyes:

    And please, stop trying to deflect attention away from your idiotic argument of the Limerick player jumping into the crowd

    I'm not deflecting anything. I'm merely pointing out how I am obviously correct, in the first instance, and how I feel it is disrespectful to taunt opposing fans, in the second instance.

    I'm afraid I never said that Limerick won the Delaney Cup. I said Limerick hadn't won a trophy and that Dublin had won a trophy. I gave the Delaney Cup as an example of a trophy won by Dublin in this particular GAA season. I never said that Limerick competed in Leinster, did I? Limerick didn't win their senior provincial trophy in either code. Do you understand the difference? Retrace your steps slowly and then come back with your tail placed firmly between your legs. I'm more than willing to help you if you need it broken down further although I would suggest that you should possibly just admit your mistake and we can move on.

    I look forward to attending the remaining QF this weekend where one hopes that stable, educated, middle-class Dublin players won't feel the need to jump into the stand and taunt Tyrone supports should they beat their team. Similarly, the Tyrone players won't feel the need to jump into the stand should they win. In order to cover all bases, I will finally mention the possibility of a draw after extra-time. In this instance, one sincerely hopes that none of the players, on either team, will feel the need to jump into the stands. Leave that to the disrespectful Limericks of this world. Good man.

    Are you honestly serious with that statment "middle class Dublin players"!

    Are you saying that the GAA is not a game for the working class, are you really that much of a snob!!! :eek:

    Also, in no way are my legs placed between my legs, you claimed that Limerick wouldn't be used to climbing the steps of the Hogan stand to collect silverware and then mentioned the fact of Dublin collecting the Delaney Cup, which was a very stupid example seen as that Limerick cannot compete in the Delaney Cup. Circles around and around we go with you.

    There's a good buachail:rolleyes:

    PS Be careful not to bump into any working class people, they might just start playing GAA which would horrify you :rolleyes:
