The responses are organised and sustained now. Plus its noticeable that a few lads have been benched and a few Championship starters have been rolled out. There may be trouble ahead.

They are bringing a few big guns back from lengthy lay-offs. They are taking this seriously.

You may have a point but anyone who says they know anything about the beautiful game of hurling would concede that a game won because of free taking when the frees are given for fouls that would make a basketball player blush, is not something they would want to see. Kiely was right.
No, pet. I never leave the site. Too much fun to be having.
He had him posting on hte beta site for the past 24 hours to warm up.

Busy at work Iâm afraid. Far too busy to be replying to mundane soft lads complaining about how rough hurling has become. They clearly never played West Limerick junior B.
The vast majority of the frees given against Limerick on Sunday were fouls

Youâd have to worry for the sanity of the Limerick supporters when the inevitable happens and they revert to type after their glorious era ends. These last few days have given us a glimpse of whatâll happen.

Theyâll tell us they never really cared anyway.
They have form with Munster rubby.
I had to drop something out to a friendâs homeplace in Woodview Sunday evening and there was a young lad outside Thomond Park with a hurley. Munster Rubby is dead. Limerick city is hurling country now.

a few lads from insignificant counties trying to keep the embers burning on this one.
Sad to see how the mighty have fallen.
The Tipp lads afraid to do it when they play Limerick but are riding in on the back of Galwayâs offense. Yellow bellied cunts

As a Galway supporter I enjoyed the fleeting period of superiority but deep down I knew it wouldnât last. Limerick appear to be very ill prepared for this inevitability. A realisation seems to have hit JK Rowing on Sunday and he didnât deal with it very well.

Its important to keep this going, the future of hurling as we know it is at stake.
Jaysus, 20 posts - you go for a cuppa and bang, bang, bang ⌠a few frees tapped over the bar in no timeâŚ
Limerick manager John Kiely has retracted his comments about Galway being guilty of simulation in last weekendâs Allianz Hurling League clash between the teams, apologising to the Galway team and management for his remarks.
âI should have paid more attention to my own performance and that of the team than to the opposition,â Kiely told the Irish Examiner.
âAt the time I was of the opinion that I had seen an incident that I wasnât happy with: It was late in the game and very much to the forefront of my thoughts after the game.
âBut over the last two days, Iâve been going through the video footage of the game and have had a very clear sight of those incidents I referred to. The bottom line is that what I thought I had seen was absolutely not the case.
âI wish to wholeheartedly retract those comments with regard to Galway and to apologise for them. Itâs important that I set the record straight now that Iâm certain that what I saw was not what I believed I had seen.
âWeâve had a fantastic relationship with the Galway players and management over the last number of years. Weâve had some fantastic battles, and Iâve known their current management team, Shane OâNeill and John Fitzgerald, for a long time and have tremendous respect for them. I want to apologise to them for any insinuation that might have been inferred from my comments last Sunday.
âIn the past the Galway team and management showed tremendous grace and dignity when weâve met them. They showed that in 2018 and again last year, and that was the least I owed them after they beat us on Sunday.
âThey were far better than us on the day last Sunday in every facet of the game and fully deserved their victory, and I should have dwelt on that aspect of the game afterwards, instead of focusing on what I felt was simulation. In doing so I fell far short of the standards I set myself.
âItâs important when we make a mistake that we have the wherewithal to put our hands up and say, âlisten, I got that one wrongâ and learn from it and move on.
âHopefully over the last four years, I havenât made that many mistakes, but those comments on Sunday were certainly not accurate or fair and I am very happy to correct the record and apologise.â
The Galbally man also said last Sunday that nobody would be watching hurling in 12 months unless something was done about new interpretations of the rules, and he remains concerned about this aspect of the game.
âPlayers and managements are struggling with the situation at the moment, but I believe we can come to a resolution on this with better communication and better interaction with officials in Croke Park.
âI think we can work on this and come up with solutions that will work for the year ahead, but itâs a work in progress.â
