Limerick v. Wexford, SHC QF, Semple Stadium @ 2pm

Clareman

I thought (completely open to correction here) that once you don't control the ball you can score a goal with your hand, i.e. what yerman did there was let the ball rebound off him into the net.

Mantis Toboggan

Feel sorry for wexford, their so far out of their league it's not funny!

Long second half coming up!

I would presume its the exact same as football here and the goal is good?

Mantis Toboggan

31 scoring chances in 35 minutes... Jeez

Jesus Davy looks rough in HD.

TheMilkyPirate

Feel awful after that, Such a great summer gone in 35 minutes. Only thing I'll say is I'm glad it's Limerick who got us like this God knows what Kilkenny or tipp would have racked up by now.

I did not know that. I was sure it would be disallowed.

letowski

Didn't see that coming. It must be said Limerick are playing really well. TJ has done a super job. They seem like they are playing a style that suits them down to the ground. Whats actually a surprise is Limerick havent hit 4-20 in 35 minutes!!!

wexford 4 games in 4 weeks is taking it's toll.limerick should win this by cricket score.

Well that escalated quickly. Quelled that little rebellion nicely

Mantis Toboggan

I'd say donal o grady is wishing he didn't walk out on Limerick.

KrustyUCC

as he didn't catch it and hand pass it in .. perfect goal

same as in football you can play ball in air with you hand and score

webels

Send more ball into o keeffe only wex forward worth his salt today

Dan Chipowski

Embarrassing defending for that goal from Wexford.

Thought MacDonald was doing well when he got the ball, scored 3 points today I think

corny

Wexford players and management completely paralysed. Rabbits in headlights stuff.

Using 4 games in 4 weeks as an excuse would be a complete cop out. Tiredness might have been a factor in the last 10 but this is complete capitulation.

letowski

Sadly, this seems to be a recurring issue with Wexford teams. Just like with the Wexford U21's, Oulart the Ballagh and today with the seniors, they have followed a string of excellent performances with a diabolical one. It casts a shadow over their seasons, in which they have definitely made progress nonetheless.

westernfrenzy

Wexford should be proud they got this far

Benny Cake

Downey has been shabby today...

Mountainlad

This isn't Wexford's level. They are out on their feet. There are always bumps on the road, Limerick have suffered similar defeats before.

Fairplay to Limerick though, really up for it. Played some good hurling too, particular Dowling and Hannon up front, bossed midfield and a much improved halfbackline coupled with imperious Hickey and it's set the platform for a comfortable win.

Sweet Jesus that is some hammering. Thank you.

webels

Wexford had a great year up to now. Great win in u21 leinster final some great young players found. Future is bright just one bad day at the office today.

They really aren't though.

Its just lazy to blame fatigue. Their performance has nothing to do with physical tiredness and everything to do with how they approached the game mentally. As soon as the going got tough they checked out.

You can try for 50 minutes, get tired and blame fatigue but giving up soon after throw in doesn't wash with me.

Full Time.

Matthew O'Hanlon sent off for Wexford in injury time.

Limerick were flattered in fairness.

As much as I'd love to see them beat Kilkenny in the semi, I can't see it happening.

Today's game was no preparation. Wexford bottled it from beginning to end.

Shame, because they're better than that.

Yeah your right they are flying fit. Being 5 yards off your man is a mental thing. What a loud of absolute cac.

Giving up as soon as the throw in, if Podge Doran had goaled on 20 mins they could have brought it to two.

They've been in extremely physical games the last 3 weeks in a row.

Clueless post and I can't believe there seem to be others thinking that way.

TJ would make a great greyhound race commentator

Wexford found out. Never as good as some people were rating them after a few good matches

sloppy passes when in posession, bad shooting, awful defending despite having a good few defenders which lead to goals...has nothing got to do with playing 4 weeks in a row

What are the signs of a tired team then?

One sport where you are going to get exposed on the scoreline pretty quickly if you are suffering physically is hurling.

dublin last year played 5 wks in a row and didnt seem to do them any harm :rolleyes:

in all the matches wexford have had scored highly and had a lot of awful wides. today limerick had their homework done and got their match ups right and didnt give mcdonald or mcgovern a sniff of the ball.

playing 4 wks in a row should have had them sharp but their touch was awful. fading out in the last 10 mins and getting beaten in that time could lead to suspicions of tiredness..but limerick dominated from the throw in. this was a no contest

Its a symptom of the malaise that donnem33 explained (and you ignored) to you. The game, like most things in life, starts in the head. You don't get the attitude right everything goes wrong. Men don't attack the ball, they're slow to react, their lack of conviction shows in their passing/shooting etc. Can't believe this has to be explained to you.

They've had a weeks rest ffs. They weren't playing last night.
