All fair.
Colin Fennelly could in theory do damage but Limerick will line up with 12 or 13 players in their own half as usual so space will be at a premium.
In fairness to them I think they were the first to release prices yesterday evening so donāt think it was a case of making a statement. Probably havenāt taken a whole lot on it yet but as you say the price wonāt last long.
It was a harsh red, but players know they canāt swing back like that so it was very foolish from Dunphy.
I suppose if you were on the hurling field, you would have been able to stay standing upright after getting that slap you tough man. Then again, Iād be surprised if you were ever on a pitch, bar for a few pitch invasions
Have you got a clip of yesterdayās incident pal? I havent seen it
Heād a couple of bad wides in first half. Think heās an awful hot nā cold man that wouldnāt make the first team for most of the top counties and instead be an impact sub
I didnāt see it myself until TSG last night.
Iāll try watch it back later and iāll come in here and lambaste the fuck out of Paudie regardless
Here ya go. Listen, Paudie has taken bigger slaps than that, but I donāt imagine too many people would stay upright after getting it. Even if he did, by the rules, it was still a red. Twas the Limerick linesman who spotted it by the way
I think thatās a harsh red as Iām not sure he particularly meant to do it but it would be a very painful strike
Iād agree with most of that, although he wasnāt swinging the Hurley idly about and Maher walked into it. I donāt know if he intended for it to have as much contact or indeed any contact
Is Paddee ok?
Heās absolutely fine mate.
Ah he was never fine, but nothing was broken?
Harsh - think he was falling and just stuck the hurley out but caught him right on the knee ā Could Paud have just taken a knee tho instead of rolling around the ground ā¦ Jesus , now that iāve watched it a second time thatās outrageous carry on from Paudie - look at the angry look on his face as he shove Dunphy away - real big man stuff ā and then gets a little flick on the knee and he rolls more times than Neymar - Dunphy was blackguarded there.
Embarrassing by Maher. It was a tap with the flat part of the bĆ”s. Shameful stuff actually. Whoeverās playing them in the semi final and final have been forewarned.
It was as bad as Rivaldo in the 2002 World Cup vs Turkey
Nothing broken, thanks for your concern.
It was a miraklus recovery as he was running around seconds later. Cowardly theatrical stuff, his calling card at this stage
