Yeah, Waterford and Tipp drew the shitty end of this stick last year.

Limerick and Clare this year. The 3rd week in a row against a fresh team is a killer. If both teams were out 3 weeks in a row, then fine. whoever copes best. The fixture anomalies bring an element of luck of the draw to it.

Don’t see how tipp were fucked over. They lost and drew two of their opening 3 games. That’s embarrising and playing 4 weeks in a row was irrelevant.

Exactly. Limerick began the campaign the same time as Tipp, and Cork had played a match in the first week, same as Tipp. Both Limerick and Cork got something from the games.

Idiots

anon78624367 · May 20, 2019, 1:44pm

would you not reply to applecrumbled on it, no?
Or give your opinion on it, no?

A lickarse cunt with nothing of value to add.

carryharry · May 20, 2019, 1:45pm

Tipp got no break last year you simple cunt,

anon78624367 · May 20, 2019, 1:46pm

nobody said they did.

Give an opinion there for yourself.

carryharry · May 20, 2019, 1:46pm

I’ve made my point you dipstick.

gaillimhmick · May 20, 2019, 1:46pm

They were fat and infighting last year. Sheedy has sorted that.

carryharry · May 20, 2019, 1:48pm

Yeah but 4 weeks on the trot was a big ask. Not asked of teams this year.

If Limerick won yesterday the whiners wouldn’t make a peep though.

the_man_himself · May 20, 2019, 1:48pm

Agreed, Tipp’s worst performance was their first one and their best performance was their last one last year

anon78624367 · May 20, 2019, 1:48pm

you haven’t. You’ve licked @Mullach_Ide arse and insulted two posters for having the same opinion as @anon32894817 - but let him off, for arguably a harsher opinion. Funny that…

as I said. A lickarse without a valid opinion…

any tips lads.

carryharry · May 20, 2019, 1:49pm

What did I leave him away with you stupid cunt?

lonelyisland236 · May 20, 2019, 1:49pm

I understand, but Limerick didn’t either until the Clare game. Limerick were top at this stage, and Tipp were out

gaillimhmick · May 20, 2019, 1:49pm

Their conditioning is far superior this year. Had they been prepared the same way last year they would have gotten out of Munster.

anon78624367 · May 20, 2019, 1:49pm

he said tipp weren’t shafted. I didn’t say anything about Tipp being shafted. You said they were.

balbec · May 20, 2019, 1:50pm

I suppose if ye don’t qualify ye’ll look for another system change?

anon78624367 · May 20, 2019, 1:51pm

Munster - they can’t be the 6th team. fix all the fixture problems.

gaillimhmick · May 20, 2019, 1:51pm

Shur why wouldn’t we if we got it. If you don’t ask…

Big_Dan_Campbell:

The Limerick v Clare game looks to be the biggest of the game remaining looking at the permutations.

Going on the assumption that Waterford lose all four games, if Clare beat Limerick then Limerick would be eliminated regardless of a win v Tipp in the last round. As one of Clare or Cork would finish on a minimum of 4 points with the other on 6 (barring a draw in their final game) and both teams would have the head to head against Limerick.

Limerick will be looking for Clare to beat Tipp and then beat Clare themselves. That would leave 4 teams on 4 points going into the last round of games and winner take all for Munster final spots.

Clare can conceivably lose to both Tipp and Limerick in the next two rounds and beat Cork to qualify for the Q/Fs if Limerick beat Tipp in the last round, or there could well be a three way tie between 2nd and 4th to be decided by scoring difference if Tipp win all four games.

There’ll surely be a draw somewhere along the way
