Waterford are in there mate, didn’t you hear
A few of the Limerick supporters certainly are
We’re quite relaxed about it. We’ve come a long way.

You’ve had the record well set for a while but every now and then the foot soldiers mask slips
I would say 4 would
Murphy
Lawlor
Cody
Whelan
Limerick All Stars 1971-2017 = 47
Limerick All Stars 2018-2023 = 43
Delighted really

You’d just wish others could be too
They should really give the Joe McDonagh winners one. Mouse Kavanagh would be a most deserving All Star. cc @Bandage
No to Murphy. The other three are possibles
Can’t have a keeper who can’t even look after his own contact lenses.
Other possibles? Lawlor best full back in Ireland and both Cody and Whelan would take at least 3 spots in the forwards.

Would definitely take Conor Whelan. Just a brilliant player, he’d do untold in this or any other team - as he does now.
Would find a spot for Lawlor too probably. Cody too.
Eoin Murphy is not a better all round ‘keeper than Quaid, he has Peter Duggan to thank for this All-Star.

Murphy would have been grand in the old hip and whip Limerick teams. Wouldn’t cut it under the current regime
It’s interesting because if some of those players had been in the Limerick squad the last six years maybe they’d have been starting ahead of the Limerick lads, and maybe the Limerick lads wouldn’t have become the players they are. If Limerick had lawlor next year would he jump Dan Morrissey, I don’t think so.
Yeah Lawlor is class.
Just no to Murphy. Quaid is a beast. Limerick will have an awful job replacing him
Young Gillane looks well placed.
Be interesting to see. I know it’s only league but there seems to be a huge drop in performance when Quaid doesn’t play
Nickie will hang on until joes youngfella is ready

Jesus it would be tough, but I’d probably just give Huw the nod

Hi MacDara, would you mind being a selector on the All Stars?
Sure, can I base my selection on some of the many league games I broadcast?
No. See you next week.
