The likes of mcinerney is useless.
The money only came on condition the neighbor and canvasser Sheedy got the job. Iâve no doubt Gleeson will be back. The Kellyâs are calling the shots now
They donât. Limerick were lucky that three of the Galway backs were injured in the AI final.

He wasnât fully fit last summer and was hurler of the year in 2017.
No Chin or Rory Oâ Connor on Wexford team for tomorrow. Weâll be doing well to keep it respectable.
Thought Tipps full-back line was all over the shop last year. Did Clare completely play into Tipps hands by leaving Paudie the run of the place at full? Hard to make out from half a game on TV.
The Galway backs coughed up 3 goals to limerick. Due to simple pressure. They arenât related to good backs. The only team in the last 30 years to cough up 3 goals from 3 losses of possession inside their own half in all ireland final.
Shows ya the worth of January hurling. 2 weeks ago Clare hammered Tipp, who looked miles off the pace.
Didnât see the game but youâre completely playing into Tippâs hands if youâre playing a sweeper
Harsh sending off and the two rapid fire goals the difference. Wouldnât be overly disappointed, awful night on a heavy pitch with a lot of inexperienced players they battle til the end.
David Mc yet again not commanding enough at full back. Clare had started the second half well and without Galvin as the free man were opened up for the two goals. Aidan McCarthy showed well but looked like a lad straight out of minor. Golden battled well and is worth more game time and Guilfoyle and Ryan Taylor have plenty to offer.
Browne, Cleary, Conlon, Podge and Duggan grafted hard second half.
Jason McCarthy, Malone and Deasy were all very disappointing.
Tipp worked hard throughout and are a big side well able to mix it and were deserved winners. Thought Lyons was poor throughout, while it was physical there wasnât a dirty stroke in it yet he must have shown a dozen yellows and 1 red. Golden and Conlon booked for innocuous stuff then Duggan has the jersey being pulled off him and takes a forearm to the helmet and no booking.

If you are arguing Daithi Burke isnât a good back, you need to find another sport to commentate on.
Daithi, Hansbury and McInerney were all injured, Daithi in particular was severely restricted. You can blame the Galway management for playing them, but arguing that Galway donât have a good set of backs is silly.

Typical Galway excuses. Burke is good but after that the Galway backs are very average. They won the softest all ireland of recent history in 2017. Ye idolise an ego maniac in joe canning who costs his team year in year out.
Whatâs the team?
Score in the Dublin and carlow game??
Clare were blown up an awful lot last year for a side that only won four of their eight championship matches and lost three.
