They had only 14 that day apple

It must have sickened you the ease with which they won the county again.

After Fitzgibbon scored that point that put his team six points up with seven minutes to go - and started roaring in Richie English’s face - did he actually touch the ball in the remainder of normal time and extra time? Serious question.

I know he cried off in extra time when the tide had turned and he didn’t fancy it anymore.

Doesn’t change the fact limerick played terribly in the semi final.

Everyone has an excuse for losing to little old Limerick.

We walked all over Galway for the first 15 minutes. A period in which they absolutely blew teams out of the water this year.

We bate Galway at their own game. Physically overpowers them and outworked them.

We also bate Cork in a shootout in Dublin.

No I was happy enough for Na Piarsaigh. They deserved it. I Enjoyed the celebrations but thankfully didn’t eat any of the food.

Look ye won the county. There’s no need for that shit.

Ya becuase cahalane got such a run around he got himself sent off.

You’re very thick. Limerick deserved to win the All Ireland but it was based on how good their squad is not just the 15 starters or any particular stars

Even though they were 9 points up in the final without using a single sub :rofl:

You’ve little englanders like @glasagusban fawning over cork hurlers like pat Horgan and Daragh fitzgibbon even though they’ve won absolutely nothing and always vanish when they are needed yet can’t give credit to the likes of Kyle hayes or Tom morrissey because of the clubs they play with in limerick. It’s very sad. Thankfully the limerick lads have won everything there is to be won and the cork lads have won fuck all.

Make up your mind will you. You just said Galway were diabolical.

Don’t deal with it then. You’re here by choice my friend

Yes I did. What’s your point?

I made mine clearly. I’m trying to figure out yours from your ramblings.

Limerick only won because of their panel, and because Galway were diabolical. Only is binary.

That teams can play badly in given games but your trying to use limericks performance v cork to say their first 15 isn’t great but completely ignore the fact that limericks first fifteen destroyed the all Ireland champions in the final is his point.

My pal from galway, a very good reader of the game told me that he thought the final was very poor. He said kk would have beaten either team as they’d have turned up. I’m not so sure. I was trying to watch it on my phone via a bad Internet connection, and Limerick looked very good indeed to me, but he’s a shrude reader of any game, and not prone to sour grapes or hyperbole.
I’ve never watched it back for obvious reasons.
Galway have been on the go for a long time. They were due a poor ish year, and they never really hit the heights bar in fits and starts. My main gripe with o Donoghue has been his apparent reluctance to try new players, especially those who haven’t come through the system.
This is one of Cody’s great strengths.

When did I say “only”?

It wasn’t a game for the purist by any stretch. Limerick brought it to the trenches and backed themselves physically against Galway. The work rate was off the charts in the forwards.

If Limerick kept the wide count down the game would have been over at half time

Big Achilles heel for this Limerick team is the bad wides
