I think they are going to name both PUC after him and change the name of the college to UPH
Recent Limerick âCivic receptionsâ include a successful gambler/tax exile
An entire rugby team that once won a friendly match, and a lady who was the referee of a menâs rugby game ![]()
I think these lads are picturing an open top bus tour
No.just the lad who lost all 4. Iâm sure heâs mortified.
The renaming to Patrick Horgan Street is a nice touch
Youâre nothing if youâve never received a civic reception
They might ask Mul to call in that night to show him what an All Ireland medal looks like.
Ooooft
The Limericks are worried now that the Glen man hasnât seen an all Ireland medal ![]()
Because Limerick used to win all irelands donât you know ![]()
Sure his own father would be able to show him what an All Ireland medal looks like.
Which father is that
Pat Horgan senior.

Patrick Horgan doesnt have an ireland medal but he was an outstanding hurler. Ditto Ciaran Carey
The few Limericks who love poking jib at Horgan for been a stat padder donât reference that he shot a score to send the munster final to extra time this year and scored the penalty in injury time to deny Limerick victory in the roiund robin last year and keep Cork in the championship. They poke fun at him for not delivering an all ireland
A whole team of Limerick hurlers failed to win an all ireland in 1994 and 1996. Cork collasped over a whole half this year, Limerick managed it in about 6 minutes in 1994. Cork lost with 14 men in 2025, Limerick played with an extra man in 1996 and lost.
Do you reserve the same vocabulary for Ciaran Carey and his team mates as you do for Patrick Horgan?
Do you reserve the same vocabulary for Ciaran Carey and his team mates as you do for Patrick Horgan?
Youâll have to explain to him who Ciaran Carey is
Ciaran Carey never got a civic reception for serial losing mate, itâs embarrassing this lark, just calling as it is.
Save it for Careyâs civic reception
So you are calling Ciaran Carey a serial loser?
Harsh.
He was a great player
I wdnt begrudge the man a civic reception tbh
That point v Clare in 1996 near merits one on its own
Look Horgan is the top hurling championship scorer of all time. I dont see any great harm in him getting a civic reception, doubt he sought the honour
I fail to see how it gets under the wick of a small few Limericks so much
He retired the highest scorer in championship hurling didnât he?
He was always going to get something tbf but individual awards in team sports never sit right with me.
Mainly because this cork team stopped the five in a row all Ireland bid and 7 in a row Munster final bid.
Itâs incredibly annoying as a Limerick fan because if you took out their results against Limerick they arenât much good at all and have lost two all Irelands in terrible fashion too.
