Was hego set the tone for that kind of thing. Three month ban in order.
Cheddar is sensible on the handpass as he generally is.
Looks like his hair has been moulded into the shape of his hat.

Limerick have destroyed hurling

Take it straight to the lookalikes thread.
And still coughed up 30+ scores 
Won the second half though. Thatâs as good as a win.
Aww, well done you and well done Laois

Kilkenny had to bring on Wally to get them over the line, it was embarrassing truth be told
Itâs a bit odd Daly, sheedy and tj Ryan canât put their finger on why nobody is taking the league seriously. Itâs fairly obvious itâs due to the round robin munster championship format. Waterford were flying in the league last year and were legless by round one. Even Clare put a massive effort in to the round robin and were legless by the all Ireland q/fs.
Thereâs only six or seven weeks in these teams.
John Kiely has said this on multiple times, teams are trying their best when the ball is thrown in but managers are trying to:
-find new players
-give panel members games
-clashes with fitzgibbon
-not chance injured players
-not chance players who are fatigued.
-manage game time for older players
The depth of the squad is huge then, Limerick obviously have good players 20-30 and Iâd argue counties like Galway, Kilkenny, Tipp and Cork have a large playing pool to remain competitive (not getting results) but Dublin, Waterford, Wexford and Clare fall off a cliff at the back end of their panels.
From a Tipperary perspective, the fact we will be in the semi final of the league is progress compared to last year. It holds weight for the likes of us.
The old format also has the threat of relegation which has been a huge loss in these games. Imagine the headlines after yesterdays game âGalway in relegation dog fight etc.â

+1. Gaining promotion from 1B to 1A was seen as a sign of major progress. There was huge excitement in 2017 when Wexford ousted Limerick and Galway to secure promotion to the top tier. Similarly it was a seminal moment for Limerick the following year when they beat Galway in Salthill. 1A was a dog fight and youâd often head into the final day with 2 points separating top from bottom. The 2012 relegation play-off between Dublin and Galway was a cracker. That was topped by Cork v Clare in 2013 which went to ET. It was box office.

Sure if Galway were in danger of relegation theyâd be lobbying to get the format changed

Sure if Limerick were theyâd buy more drugs, or another car for stagg, or lean on the gardai not to charge a panel member for gbh or something.

Itâs so bizarre that we have so many games and months dedicated to meaningless games. Weâre the only sport that do it.

Thatâs why it changed iirc, the big 3/4 teams in division 1B were complaining, there is the financial side of it too.
The old format was perfect but like many things in the GAA they changed it.
