I felt Dublin was quiet last night - outside Palace bar had mediocore pre all ireland final buzz at best, Iwasnt elsewhere in city in fairness
Itās certainly different but thereās a few moving around the city this morning.
Iād love it, love it, if Obscuresportswebsite.ie did a list ranking All-Ireland football finals in order of greatness.
They could even do the same for the hurling.
Iāll start it off for the hurling.
- Cork v Galway 1990
- Cork v Galway 1986
For an All-Ireland hurling final to be truly great, at minimum the participation of, and preferably the victory of Cork is required.
Cork bring colour. Just look at the colour in this photograph. Itās so colourful it doesnāt even need colour.
Thereāll be no win for the left today.
The employees of PJ McManus or big Mike Ashley will tell you that.
There was a terrible eerieness and loneliness around Dublin city last Saturday evening and night. It didnāt feel right at all.
OIUTF?
I look forward to the next full fat All-Ireland final on the first Sunday of September 2024, and all the associated coughing and involuntary rubbing of sweaty bodies in pubs that it brings.
Itās time for the heart to overrule the head, theyāve it all to do, will need a nice f so live of luck and lots of goals but Iāve a feeling that Limerick may be feeling the pressure of expectation today and may start slowly, maybe even lack a bit of discipline at that stage, itās up to Cork to take advantage in a way Waterford couldnāt,
If itās still in the melting pot with 15 to go Cork may have the aces on the bench this time.
Enjoy the day, particularly if youāre up there, best of luck in the ticket search @Heyyoubehindthebushes, youāll need to be on the ball, 100% focussed on the task, Iād say thereās less than 50 tickets becoming available in Dublin today, put away TFK and get to work
Best of luck
Limerick never feared Tipp
It feels like old times around Dublin. Come on Limerick !!
Limerick are like Man City with their sugar daddy McManus. Any neutral out there should be cheering on cork to stop this tyranny š„ø
The only delay we met on the way. Sailed through the red cow
A lot of yeāre best days in Munster have been on Sunny days (2013, 2019 and 2021 Munster Finals) but in terms of All-Irelandās there was a hint of potential rainfall in the 2018 semi-final and finals I thought. Bit overcast but no rain may appear to be the ideal Limerick weather. The 2020 final was quite foggy but that was to be expected in the month of December.
Iām shocked this only got two likes. I was up half the night creating it. Iāll have to keep my inspiration to myself in future.
A cultec Hurley,
Sarsfield would only use a grade 7 from Torpey
