Limerick GAA Discussion Part 2

Because Tipp have the same number of 2 and 3s as Cork and Kilkenny and also a similar number of All Irelands. Limerick have no 2 or 3s.

I feel like you are accusing a Limerick man of forgetting Limerick.

Well if certain limerick fans are going to try laugh at other counties and insinuate limerick should give them some players, be ready for some facts historical or not, still facts. How about enjoy the success and forget about digging at other counties.

Some embarrassing comments on this thread today FWIW most of childish stuff ive seen the last 36 hours is from anti GAA people bringing up the tax thing.

I made simple comment back after poster slagged tipp and now you are going on about limerick fans cages being rattled for mentioning history. It seems you and some others on this thread cant take a bit of ribbing so maybe do yourself a favour and don't read online discussion forums if you get so wound up, your new here, relax.

Does ribbing only work one way?

So its other rival counties not limerick fans that get rattled when a tipp fan points to their historical role of honor, yet here you are at this time arguing, rattled much? I'm on the night shift, this is passing time for me. You should ease up on the sauce, you are not even understanding your own posts now. Comprehension, try comprehend your own first.

I will ask again, does ribbing only work 1 way?

Yep don't answer, that's good enough for me. I never said you said anything btw, comprehension lacking tonight.Ah shur thanks, i will have the last word.

"You know full well cages are rattled when rival fans point to their greater historical haul of titles." Yep you were talking about other fans and of course not limerick fans.

Ease up on that sauce, tis a long festive period.

Will ya stop he was saying drawing with ye last year was an achievement. They won’t have an all Ireland in this decade or the next😀

We did briefly but unfortunately we’ll just have to settle for 4 in a row. Who knows, maybe we won’t have that for long either 😎

You can’t really count two in a rows within a run of 3/4. Strictly speaking we have done three ‘2 in a rows’ and two ‘3 in a rows’ in the last four seasons.

Semantics. In a world of differing comprehension levels and where stats without context are meaningless (the average human has one ovary and one testicle and a Chinese grandparent) the following two statements are technically correct but one is kind of bollocks…

‘Under John Kiely Limerick have won 5 single titles, 3 “two in a rows”, 2 “three in a rows” and 1 “four in a row”.’

‘Under John Kiely Limerick have one undefended title and a “four in a row”.’

Great post , next year will be challenging to say the least!

Anyone thinking about stopping our drive for five will be rightly reminded that once we get out of Munster we will be favourites to retain the All Ireland

My only criticism/concern from last year would be that Cathal O Neill didn’t start the Final, thought Reidy was poor and offered very little all year.

we have some serious young players who need to trusted and given the opportunity in the League to stake out a place in the 23.

Cian and Sean Finn are making great strides in their respective recoveries from what Im hearing.

Clare will be rocking again and I think Cork will be there as well, don’t expect much from Tipp or Waterford.

What a year in prospect !!!

Jaysus if we do the five , (we are already in dreamland since 2018 thanks to these lads,) the County will, to quote one of our finest …. GO BUCK APE !!!

Think ye have a capacity others can't reach, for ye to get caught you'll have to drop a level, I actually think this happened in the Munster championship this year but you still did enough to stay in the mix, whatever happened in the 4 weeks after the Munster final worked a treat and nobody can reach the levels you produced vs Galway and Kilkenny bar 1st 25 mins v Galway.

Some great posts there. Alot of Knowledge. I'm a Clareman and I feel we've focused too much on the Limerick games and then blown a gasket for the rest if the championship. The Clare v kilkenny semi final was a disappointment. The hunger we showed in April wasn't there against a limited Kilkenny.

The biggest challengers to Limerick in 2024. Cork. Thats my dark horse. Iv been burnt in the past by them but I feel they've turned a corner. The playing resources they have are phenomenal , unmatched really. I like their 20s team last year..Theyve gotten aggressive. They've good backs coming through and some unreal talent up front.

Clare may be there again..not sure. Conlons legs are gone..he over carries all the time but refs let him off. Kelly is out for ages and we've no replacements in a few spots.

Tipperary..are capable of big performances but not over a full season...yet.

Waterford have everything they need except a good manager. No silverware in 2024 I'm afraid.

Kilkenny ...always dying with their boots on ( overused cliche). You want people to kill for a cause ...not die..Limerick have the killers.

The great enigma Galway. They don't have the mentality of winners. Always capable of great 15min spells and then let an opposition team right back into it with stupidity or just switching off. They are actually an aging squad. I dont see them doing anything new. Again they've a poor enough manager.

Limerick again I think . 5 in a row. Now there is caveats. I think Mulcahy and Richie English and Aaron costello and a few more should be retired or gone. There's plenty of young fellas there who are stagnating. Colin Coughlan for one. I think O Neill will start ahead of Tom Morrissey and I would like a new corner back in for the league. We ll see how big a loss Currid is ...could be massive. But over all as long as Limerick get out of Munster they ll do the 5 and there ll be many Claremen tipping the cap and praising them but it ll be behind closed doors amongst ourselves.

They really need a big win or a trophy anything to get the confidence up.

Probably still a few years off them winning the big one but all the underage success should translate especially when you look at the age profiles of the other counties.

If it's not Limerick this year it's almost anybodies to win. If Limerick don't make it out of Munster then all 3 teams through and Kilkenny and Galway will feel they have a chance.

Their 2013-14 minor teams had some great battles with our cohort of minors who went on to be so successful. They shared the 2015-17 year under 21 titles and were potentially poised to be rivals at senior level as there was a high level of graduates from those underage teams in both counties.

Hard to know exactly why there has been such contrasting levels of success at senior level but I believe the current situation in Waterford isn’t a million miles off Limerick in the 2000’s when all we had to show from an excellent under 21 3in a row team was one unsuccessful All Ireland final appearance. If you don’t have your house in order I don’t think it really matters what’s coming through from underage. McManus was supporting the county back then, didn’t make an iota of difference.

Our county board since around when John Cregan took over has been nice and stable and Kiely has been great 👍 in terms of seeking the right people to be part of the back room team and letting them do their thing. Kinnerk in a past role worked under a man who resented the fact he was receiving so much credit and praise. Kiely’s ego by contrast is very much in check.

The board stuck with Kiely after a very disappointing 2017 - past county boards would have sacked him - look no further than Dave Keane in 2003 as an example.

For success you really need to have all your ducks in a row and we’re fortunate we’ve had so many of the necessary elements pointing in the right direction at the same time.
