So the following AIs each have an asterisk beside it *
1987 - Cregan fucked KK over by his āKK are a dirty teamā comments.
1989 - even Tipp were embarrassed.
2010 - injuries to some of KKs better players.
2019 - Barrett the cunt feigning injury to get poor little Richie sent off.
2020 - Covid
2021 - Covid
Saw that too, couldnāt believe my eyes.

2009- the phantom penalty.
2014-the Hawkeye point.
A soft penalty alright.
It was wide.
In the categorisation of asterickās theres a huge difference between āwas it a penalty, was it not a penalty?ā, āwas it wide?ā, āwho was injured?ā etc. and All Ireland Finals played in front of Niamh Boyle and a few journalists or All Ireland Finals played in July.
Guys Iām hearing from a reliable source that Nickie Quaid is practicing removing his actual eye in order to delay the game tomorrow should Kilkenny try to build any momentum
The Limericks will have to come up with some other dark art scheme to get the messages out there when they are under the cosh.
JPās helicopter will be hovering a whiteboard over the big screen
Falling into what you are saying there. Basically KK need to have an 9/10 game to win. Basically they need loads of things to fall right for them.
Limerick have repeatedly shown over the years that while you can stop them in some parts of the field they will then hurt you in others that you have left short.
Iām hoping that it will be a good game and live up to last years encounter. However the more I dwell on it I think could be like the league final.
Exactly, I think thereās a lot of variables and I personally canāt see it. Limerick -5 + is the result I see 8 times out of 10.
Hard to believe inter county hurlers are one sided.
The procession tomorrow will be even more one sided
Search inside yourself
You know it to be true
I should not have worked today. Here since 6am and already feel like Iāve my 12 hours done.
Kilkenny are not on the same level as this Limerick team, it will take some bottle job for Limerick to loose tomorrow, thereād be a serious asterisk beside the title if Kilkenny won
No Hannon, No Finn, No full back line cover
Lynch and Hegarty no where near previous levels. Gillane to be seriously marshalled. Flannagan hasnāt been nearly as accurate this year. We wonāt be running up 30 points.
Weāll hit our usual 15 wides. Kilkenny too accurate for this depleted team. No cavalry on the bench to save us.
2-28 will do us.
Iād find myself nodding my head in agreement with Ursula or Michael Verneyās predictions here. I just donāt think Kilkenny have the scoring power to derail Limerick. Theyād need a similar scoreline to the 1-21 to 2-17 from the 2019 semi-final but it would take a mammoth effort to restrict this Limerick team to just 19 scores. Eddie Brennan with what could be classified as a fanciful prediction of Kilkenny scoring 3 goals and Limerick blanking but loyalties prevail.
Couple of interesting pieces in the Indo today. One delves into Aaron Gillaneās winter playing soccer in the Desmond League, including his 89th winner on his debut, lobbing a keeper from the halfway against their local rivals and getting sent off against NCW. Thereās a nice piece with Maurice Aylward too where he speaks about TJās performance against Toome in 2007. I didnāt realise Aylward was coaching Ballyhale when they were relegated in 1995? Brought them back up in 97ā. Heās still coaching into his late 70ās and led St Mullins to the Carlow Senior title last season.
