Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

I note that referees have been told to reinvigorate their clamp down on the 'throw ball'. We ll see if it comes to anything. If it does signal a change in attitude then the likes of Hannon,Lynch ,Tom Morrissey ,Finn will have to change their technique .

Well said Peggy re the hand pass/throw whatever u want to call it.If you could sort out those 5 Limerick lads it's problem solved because obviously no player from any other County would never do anything like that.

Go away kid.

Galway and Kilkenny came close too but they done it in do or die matches.

He never scored anything like 12 points from play in senior inter county. That's a fact.

TK is class alright but my memories of hurling goes back to the mid 90s and I'd rate TJ Reid as the best overall hurler ive seen and to be nominated for HOTY at 35 is some going, most outrageously talented as you put it possibly his fellow Kilkenny man in the news for all wrong reasons at the moment, Eoin Kelly a contender too. All subjective i suppose. Actually rate Hegarty highest of this Limerick team in terms of everything, he's redefined the role of a half forward.

I'd rate Hegarty as the most effective big game player of them all. If there is a criticism of Kelly it's that if he's starved of possession he can't win primary ball like a Hegarty or even Lynch can. T.J was and is amazing ,kept Kilkenny in it last year on his own . Eoin Kelly was a great score taker, nothing more. He'd no pace and played corner. He didn't affect a game like the boys can. He was an unbelievable goal scorer and point scorer .one of the best.

Lynch is an amazing talent. His vision and close control are unsurpassed. He doesn't have the pace of a Kelly nor his array of score taking skills. 2 totally different types of players. As a 'team player' Lynch is better. Kelly is an out and out individual talent.

As an aside if we are talking defenders Dan Morrissey will go down as one of the best of his generation. Iv no doubt about that. He's an amazingly efficient player. His passing and vision are unrivalled. Hes a better fullback than Casey and a better defending wing back than Byrnes.I can never understand people on here criticising him. Even his conditioning is amazing, way ahead of others. He's a pro.

No surprise you big up Morrissey the man being kept out of the full back line by Casey.

Bitter stuff.

There's no taking that seriously. On your eternal quest to be argumentative and take oppositional takes to other posters, you end up posting this kind of stuff.

Aww still sour because I didn't recognize Bubbles as "one of the most skillful players to play the game" 🤣

I didn't do it to be argumentative I done it because this Clare poster has a history of putting down the Casey's.

I rate Eoin Kelly highly, very highly. The guy had wrists of gold and an unbelievable accuracy and shot.

He had no pace ,couldn't play in numerous positions like a Ken McGrath for instance. Wasn't comfortable in central positions either. He was a very very good forward but nothing like a TJ, Tony Kelly, Hegarty ect.

I actually agree with his point if limerick had no injuries last yr Morrissey would have been at 3 and hayes at 7, I'm nearly sure of that

The man was exceptional and influenced games at a time when Tipp were not all that great. They had a fair gap between his early and later All Irelands where he was a clear shining light for that team.

Lee Chin often reminds me of him in terms of being a clear and obvious talisman of a team.
