All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

In sorry dodgey all the pressure will be on limerick. It’s the perfect storm for cork and almost the perfect run of games. Cork will be heavy underdogs too even though they’ve beatean us twice already this year. They couldn’t have scripted it better. They’ll meet tipp too the cunts in the final and batter them.

Some really lovely stories emerging from Maryborough

Dublin supporters taking photographs for Leix families on the pitch so they get a pictorial memory of their great win, and buying rounds of pints for their Leix counterparts in the pubs

Lovely Leinster solidarity - that’s exactly what the GAA is all about

Best wishes to Leix going forward

What a contrast to Parnell Park three weeks ago when Galway supporters couldn’t take their beating at all, engaged in unprovoked physical attacks on Dublin supporters including a number of elderly Dublin women in attendance at the match and urinated in the gardens of the houses next to the stadium

Vile behaviour and sadly typical of Galway when they lose - just look at the carry on in Limerick last night

Cork won’t be heavy underdogs, pal.

Don’t think our lads will be phased by any expectation or pressure. They’ve consistently delivered when the need has been greatest over the last 14 months. Will hit a wall at some stage and who knows it may be in this semi final.

Cork haven’t won it since 2005. Meyler and a couple of those players are gone if they lose. They’ll feel they left it behind them last year.

A 50/50 game, if they win next week which I expect them to.

Galway had supporters in Limerick last night?

Shur if they do they do

Boyles have set the handicap at Tipp -13 @ 5/6

Limerick will be very heavy favourites dodgey. It’s all setting up for cork. The lovely run of games. That corner back from last year is back for the Kilkenny game. Limerick have a long four week break which hasn’t really suited us in the past. We tend to improve on games. Revenge for last year and every cunt tipping us up. I remember a few years back Munster were playing Ulster in a Heineken cup quater final. For a weeks everybody was chatting about an easy win. Two hours before the game Edinburgh take out toulouse and every idiot was saying Munster just had to beat Edinburgh and Ulster to get to a final. Lads chatting about tickets for the final. I knew our faith as I sat down in my seat twenty minutes before throw in. Pretty much everything is falling perfectly for cork to go and win it. What’s even worse is we’d two chances already to put the final nail in their coffin already and slipped them both up.

It’s going to be an absolute battle whoever we play.

I wouldn’t be getting worked up about it three weeks out. I doubt Cork would be overjoyed facing us either if that’s what comes to pass.

Kiely & Kinnerk will have us ready for the 27th. What will be will be.

That’s the problem with facing cork. They’ll hold zero fears of limerick. They simply believe they are better than us.

Surely now with 3 actual Leinster teams in the AI quarter finals, the time has come to move Galway out of the province and back to the Connacht championship?

The Connacht Championship needs a strong Galway.

Galway haven’t hurled in weeks and still the talk of the town I see :pint:

Nice for Laois today to come out on the right side of a 1-22 to 0-23 scoreline. When Laois faced Galway in the ever competitive Leinster Championship in 2014, it was Galway who scrapped home 1-22 to 0-23.

Cork do indeed match up well with Limerick and their pace is a worry… But let’s wait and see if they can get over kk first… I don’t think they will.
