Sure, sure.
Itās players, funnily enough Kiely and Kinnerk get a massive pass for not moving Kyle back sooner in 19 and their preparation of the team for the Dublin game last year.
Limerick have won consistently over recent years because of the Cian Lynchs and Hegartys, not Currid, Hussey types or Kiely or Kinnerk.
Cody saw it in 18 when they knocked out KK, the size of them AND they can hurl. He was a bit in awe of them in the post match I always thought.

I think itās very silly to dismiss performance coaching or sports psychology. Especially at this level, any few percent anywhere is needed. And cork clearly have something wrong in the head to be going down with so little fight.
Nickie English reckons some of the cork players skills donāt hold up in croke park. Not sure I buy that. Even if itās true it doesnāt explain the extent to which they down tools and seem to go out of it without a fight.

Can someone etch this into a stone tablet please.
Parkinson ran the greatest Laois manager ever, who also arguably was the greatest Gaelic football manager ever. Nobody should care what he says. Heās a professional stirrer.
Hussey is as big a fool getting involved publicly there. Plays right into āWoolyāsā hands and the story continues.
Bringing in suicide there, heās clearly another one of these mind guru chancers. Insulting to use that in this context.

Psychology is just another % or 2.

Same as Cyril Farrell said. Hard to disagree.
Personally think heās an ignorant oaf
But on this occasion feel he was bang on
Leinster needed a Connacht team to show ye how to hurl
Ohhhh sure he has to mind his delicate digits

Fuck off ya hussy
Limerick management were lucky Sunday not bringing Mike Casey on sooner.
Thatās a fairly ridiculous reply to come out with and wouldnt be too appreciated by the lads heās supposedly trying to be āmindingā id say
I think the skills thing is true, their skills donāt hold up at close quarters. Theyāre like Mike Tyson, if they canāt run you over, theyāre fucked.
The ball skills of their backs are way off, watching the corner backs going across the field there on Sunday just showed it again, none of them bar Coleman can hurt a team with a well placed delivery.
Munster championship is intense but itās not the same at close quarters as the AI semi or final. Their front 8 all require space to run into and all bar Hayes struggle to win their own ball. The template is there to beat them for the very best teams.

Parkinson, like it or not, has positioned himself as the foremost voice in hurling and football. Heās the one the players go to speak to to and heās the one the ex players want to go on with.
Heās also an arsehole.
Heās also right on this occasion.
Some people donāt like fellas who are pulling money out of our association highlighted. Ask yourself why that might be
Hope youāre keeping well dodgy

I think itās caveman stuff to think they can have no impact but Parkinsonās point still stands. They cant get credit when they win and no blame when they lose

Does Parkinson really have a problem with money being āpulled out of the organisationā? I find it a stretch to imagine he has any principles on any level. I think he more likely sees that thereās mileage in attacking that āaul psychology nonsenseā and there isnāt much he wouldnāt do for a few more clicks or subscriptions. He is a āprominent voiceā because heās exactly the type of sewer rat who thrives on social media.
Doesnāt it also seem a bit ridiculous to be oh so concerned about money being paid out, but only to those guys in particular. Bit rich coming from Parkinson given his own history.
