Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

The city being pretty busy thanks to the bank holiday has me excited for later on.

Limerick form has dipped and Clare were up for it. Some shocking wides from us. Hegarty was poor. Clare deserved it overall.

It’s amazing what two ‘proper’ games can do……limerick looked invincible after league final and now they will be viewed as a team in decline…..long way to go yet though. Clare and low-han still on the pitch doing selfies and autographs galore….!

Don’t begrudge another team its moment in the sun……..hurling needs it..Limerick aren’t finished yet.

Desperate scenes in the uncovered stand. Rip to the man who lost his life despite the efforts of thr first responders.

i saw the commotion but it was much further down from where we were sitting , rest in peace to who ever it was , puts a game of hurling into prospective

What sort of details are you looking for? A guy lost his life

in my opinion there is alot more in limerick , in the last two games they looked flat in the last ten minutes , i imagine its going to be a big 3 weeks in the lead up to the tipperary game

i cant say enough about barry nash and his reading of the game hes an excellent operator , gillane's lack of form must be a worry , early days this game will stand to limerick

I'm amazed you are mentioning O'Donoghue. He did a lot of dirty work and was one of our better players. He wouldn't be one of our main playmakers but he brings a major engine, intensity, physicality, and his simple usage of the ball keeps things moving. He's not going to be the star but he's integral to this team. I will mention that Diarmaid Byrnes annoys me at times. A great player but at times he forgets that his main job is defending. He also shoots a lot when other options are on. His use of the ball was poor tonight multiple times. There were other players that were poor too. Agreed on Gillane's frees, good most of the time but always misses a couple every game. And they are usually the easier ones... I'd like to see T Morrissey take them or Byrnes to take the short ones in addition to the long ones.

RIP to the poor Clare man who sadly lost his life. I saw the medics running like maniacs and some commotion in the stand and feared something bad had happened. Puts things in perspective really, we all want to win and it can get heated but it is only a game.

i expect to see a diffrent team in 3 weeks time , that break must be a godsent to kiley , granted you were a man down last week late on but ye were just hanging on , fantastic goal by flanagan at the end but if i were john kiely i would be saying that was a four point defeat not a one point defeat just to get the best out of them the next day against tipperary

if you consider the pace they played at in the 2021 all ireland final or even the extra time in a frantic munster final last year you would have to say there is alot more in this team , its not easy to maintain that level all the time either , the game has probably never been played at that pace before this team arrived so it hard for players to keep going to the well

id surly give lynch more time , to miss a year is a huge lay off, maybe if heagherty started would he have been better off, , i taught boylan was excellent , as was barry nash sean finn is a huge loss , as good as mike casey is finn is hard to replace and with the short season he might not be back

Mod Edit

Warning issued.

Ah terrible comments above from that Clare supporter. Very bitter and ungracious in Victory.

A word on Limerick. They looked abit jaded. Iv never seen them.give up so.many goal chances.. The wides at times from Gillane, Morrissey , Byrnes and David Reidy when he came on were criminal. Gillane seems to miss one sitter from play every game. And he misses the most frees out of any top free taker. Byrnes was well off with a few aswell. Clare were the better team but where are you going with Mulcahy coning on. David Reidy is another wides expert. Did he hit 3 from 3 wide when he came on. Id have brought on O Dalaigh and Boylan sooner

That "low-han" fella is not a Limerick fan he's from Waterford.

Don't let that stop you from making an absolute fool of yourself though.

Gillane has been playing poorly.

Still he was stupid enough to go goading the Clare fans after Flanagans goal at the end of the match and we were still a point behind , braindead stuff.

Hegarty had 0 impact when he came on .

Why was Daragh O Donovan taken off was he injured? Cathal O Neill is a fine player but he needs to toughen up and get stuck in more , the whole team looked leggy and lethargic.

Morrisey and O O Neill were setting off on runs waiting for Nicky to pull the trigger but it came late or not at all.

A very Un-Limerick like performance, is the gap closing or just another bad day at the office.

3 week break couldn’t have come at a better time for us.
