At least 40 new threads to open over the next few weeks Id say.

Thatā€™s key the reference to the Dow or Dowling will tell all. Went from the Dow after the Waterford match to Dowling seven days lateršŸ˜­

Get on board mate presume your kids will be supporting Limerick?

Or we might see whiny kiely back in vogue?

That and the Monday morning quarterbacks will be spamming the place if we losešŸ¤Æ

Both roles are very important, but in the short to medium term there is much higher chance of us winning a Munster title with the footballers than the hurlers. This football team need to make the breakthrough in the next one or two years, where as hurling in the county requires open heart surgery from the U/10 to Senior, an operation that has only begun in the past two years and will take another 5 or 6 before we start to see any real fruit (if any).

The footballers need a new sports pyschologist not a manager , nearly every game they`ve played since they made the ā€œbreakthroughā€ goes either of 2 ways , build up a big lead & win by the skin of their teeth against lesser opposition or lose by a point or 2 against kerry , cork, etc . I could see the Hurlers winning a munster before the footballers , at least theres a tradition there & with the right man or men in charge to harness that , they could land a munster title in 2 or 3 years .

I disagree on the footballers. Iā€™m not trying to slag anyone off now or anything, but Limerick are just not good enough at the moment, well at least their forwards are not good enough. I donā€™t believe it has much to do with their heads at all. They have a good defense, a superb midfield and one, maybe two forwards.

Forwards, generally, are what divides Gaelic football teams, if you took Collins out Limerick are a Senior club forward line, thats the harsh reality. Kelly would make alot of teams in the country as well, but he would be the work horse, not a leading scorer.

Iā€™d love to see it happening, but I donā€™t think it will.
We havenā€™t been competitive at underage hurling in the past 3 or 4 years, Tipperary, Clare and Waterford have all brought through super U/21 and Minor teams in those times. Granted we have a few nice hurlers coming through, but nowhere near the numbers that will be required to seriously compete in the coming few years.

That runt fella hadnā€™t a notion

Iā€™m better at the long term predictions
