2021 All Ireland Hurling Final - Cork v Limerick - New Money vs Old Money - Barbados Dollar vs Queens shilling

Well no, that is a big proviso.

We will probably never get a better chance for a two in a row.

@glasagusban

It’s hard enough to win one and hard enough to make it back to the final again, it’s more likely than not that the opportunity will never arise again.

Worry and inner turmoil. Fear of failure, fear of success. Fear, every way they turn. Limerick supporters are not in a good place.

It’s a good job that in reality their team only has to turn up to win this final.

We also have the unique opportunity to set cork hurling back another good few years which is the cherry on the top.

This year is an absolute bonus to Cork. Win or lose this group have far exceeded the expectations of the majority of Cork supporters.

This team is in phase one of their development. Cork hurling has not looked so bright in a long time.

In fairness Cork got a very handy draw all the way to the final. Clare, Dublin and Kilkenny and avoiding their bogey teams Limerick and Waterford.

[fenwaypark]

Exactly.

[glasagusban]

Recognition of where we are, and where we have come from. I am confident we will win.

@LionelRitchie

Why, start of the championship, what counties did you see were so far ahead to have greatly exceeded expectations

I think Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Tipp and maybe even Kilkenny all would have been ranked above Cork at the beginning of the championship. Bearing in mind that Cork had exited the championships of 2019 and 2020 to little fanfare against Kilkenny and Tipp. Cork certainly have been helped by the draw this year. They’re a coming team though and are only going from strength to strength in the coming years with that underage talent.

Denial that one is feeling fear is a common characteristic of fearfulness.

While sniffing at the merits of the Galway 2 in a row win in 1987-88 when they only went and beat Kilkenny and Tipperary in both finals.

Title of the thread refers to old and new money…

Kilkenny are the currency.

Currencies are dead.

We can also cement ourselves as one of the greatest hurling teams of all time too. Winning 3 out of 4 isn’t easy in either hurling or football.

[carryharry]

That’s the frightening truth.

[mickee321]

[anon67715551]

This is the best hurling final thread in many years. Another week and a half…There’ll be lads on heavy tablets by Saturday week…

[anon67715551]

Lower Hogan no less….That’s the Corkiness coming out - entitlement…

I think a county like Limerick, with no culture of success, will naturally struggle when a great side arrives. For the superior hurling counties success rests easily on their shoulders. Limerick hurling culture is one of “Unlimited Heartbreak”. Epic Greek tragedy type defeats. Backbiting, infighting, bloodletting. Bile, bitterness and bluster. Success brings it own burdens and it removes the crutch of victimhood status that Limerick hurling has leaned on for generations and brings home just how shit Limerick hurling has actually been over the decades.

Beating one of the Big Three in a final is some achievement, but beating two of them in the same game is incredible.

If I can get two I’ll look after you bud.
