Got as far as " my name is Dan and ..." before the sky's darkened . It was worse than going to an AA meeting!

I think we need to get at least 0-8 from Phelan, Donnelly , Mossy and Billy to have a chance. For me, we are in a position I didn’t think we’d be in back in January. Neither team will fear the other and I’ve no doubt we get 100% from all the lads. Best of luck.

The weather is miserable in Dublin. I got soaked going to the off licence. Loads of fans about Limk prob a good 2 to 1 against KK fans. God help the girls with Mascara and Fake Tans lol. I stopped for a quick pint in the local and the craic was good. A Dub giving the Limk fans loads saying its Man City v Fleetwood Town in terms of the money JP is ploughing into Limk. They were not impressed to say the least and saying he doesnt put that type of money in lol. Anyway best of luck to KK today. i feel with this weather the team with a bit of luck on the will win.

Is the Fleetwood reference due to their owner recently being convicted of fraud.

In fairness our great team from the noughties didn't have to come out of Munster. They had to beat an Offaly team in serious decline and one of the worst ever wexford teams. So Leinster was a cakewalk and we only had to peak for a maximum of 2 games every year.

I dont know. I was just laughing at the banter

Marrooned · 23-07-2023 2:31pm

Jimmy the sulk teams are always poor after you beat them some of those Wexford teams weren’t half bad and either were the dubs. We bet every team in Munster at least twice over, so your talking bullshit we were a serious team so don’t slight there achievements.

BQQ · 23-07-2023 2:47pm

That’s why people used to say Galway never won when they were in the Connacht championship

they had no competitive games and then had to get up to all-Ireland semi final level

you can argue it both ways, but you can’t argue with the fact that nobody could beat them

That'd be a Waterford reference I'd have thought. It's very damp here in Croker but it's not lashing. Let's hope there will be no regrets this evening and we will have the trophy.

kksaints · 23-07-2023 3:14pm

Blanchfield not starting, Wally Walsh in instead.

kleefarr · 23-07-2023 3:23pm

Come on you Cats!!

jimmythesulk · 23-07-2023 4:05pm

Superb first half. Keep it going boys.

usualstripes · 23-07-2023 4:11pm

Excellent hunger and determination. If we keep feeding the right ball to the full forward line we will do harm. Need the same work rate and we've every chance.

dastardly00 · 23-07-2023 4:13pm

Fantastic first half from the lads. Savage work rate. Eoin Cody is electric. Tom Phelan is having a great game. All the backs doing well

kksaints · 23-07-2023 4:14pm

I don't think that's enough of a lead. The wind is strong and blowing towards the canal end. Workrate has been excellent from the lads. Need more scores from some of the forwards, only Phelan and Cody have really chipped in so far.

mullinr2 · 23-07-2023 4:14pm

Going good so far but I feel we need to be further ahead. We are also making a few errors in the back where it should have be driven up then try and run and play it

Nickindublin · 23-07-2023 4:17pm

Lynch switch has helped Limk cut it down. This nest 15 mins is crucial. Hope we have a plan. This is where Limk step it up

usualstripes · 23-07-2023 4:17pm

Lyng will expect Limerick to come at them so the lads need to keep this going and try and keep pushing them back

dastardly00 · 23-07-2023 4:39pm

Of our main players, Adrian Mullen isn't having any impact

mullinr2 · 23-07-2023 4:51pm

Everything is going over for Limerick

mullinr2 · 23-07-2023 4:58pm

Our second half fade out happened again, why can't we maintain our work rate in the second half

jimmythesulk · 23-07-2023 5:00pm

Can be very proud of our Kilkenny players. Gave their all. Eventually ran out of steam but that happens when you come up against the greatest team of all time. Well done Limerick. What an unbelievable team and missing both their captain and the best corner back in the game.

Finally what a performance from paddy deegan. Gets alot of stick on here. Today I thought he was our best performer.

No Fleetwood owner done for fraud, just like a few of our own.

Seadin · 23-07-2023 5:06pm

I thought you had a shot in the first half but totally destroyed in the second half. Limerick are a great team like your team of 2006-2009.

He also owns Waterford FC.

kksaints · 23-07-2023 5:17pm

Just beaten by a better team in the second half for whom everything went over the bar in the 2nd half. Too many of our forwards just didn't perform good enough bar workrate. Tom Phelan had a very good game but he was really the only one. Won't fault for effort but just couldn't sustain it.

23-07-2023 5:20pm

Shame about the end of that first half. Six points up with a few minutes left and ended up going in only three up.

Criminal scoring that second goal to go five points up and then concede the next five. Game was over at that point.

Obviously we knew we needed goals today but there's times in a game where you take your points, even just to slow your opponents momentum, and we didn't do that today.

All in all, a great first year under Lyng and plenty of positives for the future.

JJs Left Hand · 23-07-2023 5:21pm

Levels.

Congrats to Limerick. Outrageous display of shooting and just total domination in that 2nd half to which we had no answer. Unreal how much the loss of Blanchfield affected our ability to play the ball out short and they just murdered us.

Hell of a team.

mercury16 · 23-07-2023 5:26pm

I don’t think it takes a hurling team to be any better than todays KK hurling team, to beat limerick. But when KK were simply not fit enough to stay with Limerick then limerick are going to win it every day.

KK got very tired in the second half. They could not keep it up in the second half. Also, the amount of ball watching by KK players is absolutely criminal. How many times did limerick just pass and go and receive the ball again, completely un marked. And the KK boys watching the spare man in space, and only run to hiM after he has received the ball.

kk we’re out in their feet for the last 25 mins. And let limerick players unmarked for the same length of time. And that has nothing to with hurling ability. Limerick are amazing athletes. But KK we’re miles off them in the athleticism stakes, when it mattered.

But if Lyng has learned anything, he should realise, that workrate and fitness in this KK team are not at the levels required to win an all Ireland. And fitness has nothing to do with hurling ability.

I thought Keenan had a great game. Should be revisited he has to retire.
