That was very out of character, all forgiven.

The Sunday Game panel should be made up of a Zoom call of TFK posters, the real experts.

Ursula tbf said that a bit of patience was needed to give everyone a chance to acclimatise to the rule changes.
I think that was a fair comment.
That is why a usually measured individual like Kiely losing his marbles as he did has left a sour taste.
His comments about the Galway players after a 6 point defeat smacks of sour grapes.
Kingston didnât like the way his game was refereed either but he was measured in his comments tbf.
Kingston has a touch of class about him, I remember making a note of this last year

Thought Tuohy deserved a red card for pull on Hegarty.

Well done to Galway on their win yesterday. Theyâve wiped the floor with the whingey Limerick set here over the last 24 hours or so as well.
Big shout out to Ajudicator James Owens as well. The best in the business.

Maybe if we had been a little bit kinder over the last three years the backlash wouldnât be so severe now?

Was the worst foul in the game.
Hegarty didnt dive on the ground either in fairness. Went about his business and won the next ball and got a great score.
Thay Flynn lad for Galway needs a talking to by Shane OâNeill.
Diving like a diva at the end of the game was shameful stuff.

Kiely never wastes a word. Anybody who thinks he âlost itâ & what he said wasnât measured & calculated, quite frankly doesnât know John Kiely!
In psychological parlances the suggestive seed is planted in championship referees & would be manufactures of frees.
Limerick went out last year to lay down a marker by winning every game they played & were 100% successful. This year defending Liam is the only goal.

Hego just got up, dusted himself down and put the next ball over the bar.

Thats the way the game has always been played.
Physical but fair.
In fairness, diving(and other cheating) to buy frees is clearly a blight on the game, but itâs mad to suggest thatLimerick donât or havenât done it plenty.
The narrative on OTB was that it was very surprising that he said what he said and that there was no blatant simulation in the game for what thatâs worth which isnât much I guess.
Go out and get some air you shower of fanny pads.

@Rocko has demoted my trust level to âvisitorâ, so Iâve wisely reserved my daily quota of one solitary like for that post. Jackie of House Tyrrell was comical on the Sunday Game last night. This notion that rucking and choke tackling is what makes hurling âmanlyâ seems to have permeated the modern hurler on the ditchâs psyche. Go back to the generation or two before this stain on the sport was introduced by Cody and there was a very simple trick to deterring an opponent from trying to ruck over a ball; itâs called pulling. Man, ball, and all. The same applies for a lad tapping the back of your helmet when the ball was in the air; pull!
These two aspects of the game were done away with, and that, Jackie, is where things have gone awry in relation to manliness. Galway played a smart game yesterday, and Limerick had no answer. No doubt, theyâll go back at it and Kinnerck will have his whiteboard out.

Fuck that I had my fun. Too many years of pain of no solid bounce back during friendly ball hopping. Remember the 5 Ds of dodgeball
Kiely used that interview time to his advantage pal. His points re the number of frees now in the game were the key point. And he was 100% right.
The rest of it seems to have worked a treat in terms of generating discussion with regards to same. Top managers do that. And luckily for us in Limerick we have a great manager in John Kiely at the moment.
A proven winner. Credit to him for speaking out on these bullshit new rules.
