04 was the year Fagan.
2007 merely delayed a hiding by 12 months . If an average enough Lk attack hit them for 5 goals what would the Kk attack have done ??
Surely at some stage in next yearās league some ref will have to just start giving frees for all these throws? Youāll have eejits like Jackie Tyrell complaining about it then

What percentage of handpasses are unlawful ?? I would think at least 70 .
Not sureā¦ Kk were not at 2008 levels eitherā¦
They were freak goals and youd wonder were Waterford loking beyond Limerick coming inā¦ They actually controlled most of the game after an awful start and were caught on the hopnst the end
Keep that to Premierview, thanks.

Itās not just Limerick at it. Itās a blight on the game
Itās near impossible to ref it.
Some of them are but most of them are clearly throws
Limerick are no better or no worse than any team in this aspect

I think their are 2 options
Legalise the throw
Or
Only hand pass off the Hurley
It needs rule change not referees āclamping downā

I think itās more noticeable with Limerick because the throws are generally in more advantageous positions
No Iād say Kilkenny were biding their time waiting to get us in a final and give us the mother and father of a land. There had been an awful lot of shite talk in the county about what we would do to the Cats if we were in a game with them coming down the home straight. A lot of the flim flam around the team didnāt sit well with Kilkenny either - the apocryphal āFuck Limerick, bring on the Catsā remark, the badge kissing, the treatment of Justin and the dodged handshake, the animus against Mullane in south Kilkenny. They were lying in wait for us and couldnāt wait to send us home with our tae in a mug.

I think the weights most IC lads do are completely wrong. They should be entirely based around Olympic lifting, snatch and clean and jerk. Explosive power.
Everything else is, as the wythenshawe lads say, wine bar weights.

Very noticeable the number of flags in cork has decreased since Saturday. Close on pre beating kk levels. A few proud cork people will alway have theirs.
āhad haveā
I donāt see this argument about the hand passing ever tbh.
Players do it so fast it just looks like a throw, the ball only has to be a millimetre above the palm of the hand and thatās perfectly legal.
Do lads want fellas to throw it a foot in the air just so we can all clearly see it on tv.
I mean anyone here whoās ever played hurling its not like youāre ever coached to throw a ball and it wouldnāt be a natural thing to do.
