Cleary would have just caught that ball. Gillane is a real life cunt on and off the field and embraces it

The_Most_Infamous · July 8, 2023, 9:26pm

Ah he isnt. Very normal humble guy to be honest. I havent witnessed him around a deli counter though.

Watchyourtoes · July 8, 2023, 9:26pm

Hopefully we will see in 2 weeks time sure.

PasqualePaoli · July 8, 2023, 9:26pm

I don’t think Cleary will be there to be honest

Watchyourtoes · July 8, 2023, 9:27pm

None of them will.

PasqualePaoli · July 8, 2023, 9:27pm

That’s just not true unfortunately

PasqualePaoli · July 8, 2023, 9:27pm

He is your neighbour or whatever, that’s grand. Not a nice character though

I’m not convinced that ye’re better than Cork. They’ll beat ye next year if ye meet. They’re coming.

Even the tally of 1-20 against Tipp the last day wouldn’t win a huge amount of inter-county games. 1-18 today. A fair fall off from 2-26 against Kilkenny 4 weeks ago.

Watchyourtoes · July 8, 2023, 9:28pm

Ive openly stated he is a cunt along with his brother, unbelievable hurler mind.

Lazarus · July 8, 2023, 9:29pm

We’ll bate the likes of Cork no problem

BruidheanChaorthainn · July 8, 2023, 9:30pm

I like him.

Batigol · July 8, 2023, 9:30pm

That won’t get ye anywhere though

Lazarus · July 8, 2023, 9:31pm

Still nice to bate the cunts

I’m not long finished watching the game on delay as I was watching the final session from Headingley live (cc @ChairmanDan).

Nothing new to add. From 1-12 to 1-6 to 1-18 to 2-24 tells its own tale. You’d wonder if the lucky Mike Casey save at 1-12 to 1-7 might have sent the game in another direction. As we know, hurling can take on a life of its own.

It reminded me a bit of that Covid era Munster Final when Limerick came out after half time & steamrollered Tipp & it was game over with 15/20 minutes left. Except this time Limerick started to get to grips with it in that last 7/8 minutes before half time.

I know he was hauled off after those two routine misses after 50/55 minutes but I thought Tom Morrissey really stood up when Galway were on top in the first half. Concannon seemed be excelling in the false wing back role & Whelan was causing plenty of problems. Hayes, O’Donovan & Gillane were really good for Limerick though. I thought Hegarty got away with a foul on Linnane for the second goal but it was disappointing how the game petered out.

We are well off ye physical and hurling wise. Also you could argue our only two true leaders are at full back and full forward. We have a few stick men around like Cooney and cathal Mannion but while they can always get involved they don’t control the middle like David Burke used to or canning when he came out. But the extent of that collapse should be enough to show shefflins its not really going to work long or short term.

I though limerick couldn’t survive losing their link man in lynch, but they did, no shut down corner back with Finn gone, no problem. Tomorrow will be the last competitive game this year.

AlanHQ · July 8, 2023, 9:36pm

I wouldn’t be too sure. The KK fullforward line could make clean sh1te of the Clare fullback line.

balbec · July 8, 2023, 9:36pm

JP is around a long time

The_Most_Infamous · July 8, 2023, 9:37pm

You’re dead right re David Burke. He would have made a difference if available today especially with WOD out of midfield. Ye do have savage hurlers though its just keeping it going down the stretch is an issue at the moment.
