Jaysus, you’ve some set against the poor Limerick folk, is it because they’ve beaten ye last year?

This time last year not many had seamus flanagan in their 30 man squads. He took his chance In the Munster league. It was a big step from being sub on a 21 team to playing senior hurling. As like most fellas you’ve to crawl before you walk and flanagan took time to find his feet. His display v Galway in the leagud probably being the highlight . He didn’t go to ard scoil ris so there will always be a certain agenda from certain limerick supporters against him. His display v cork was one of the highlights of the year for me. Not for skill on show but the selflessnes and honesty of his effort. He gave everything for the cause and more. Literally died with his boots on. I thought it was a boys became men display that day. Things didnt quite work out for him against kk but it wasn’t for lack of effort. He had a key role in the goal v cork and worked his arse off to allow gillane perform. His hit on mcinerney was a bit like when the ants realised they could take down the grasshoppers in bugs life. A pivotal moment in our win. We weren’t going to stand down and be bullied. So called limerick fans can slag off seamus flanagan all they want but they don’t really get it. Everything that’s good and different about this limerick team is represented in his performances.

Pleased to give that the deserved nice post.

Hunger and injuries were huge for Galway last year . Also they probably could have done with a rookie or two .

Corksfinedtboy · January 11, 2019, 1:51pm

Winding boy,but always won’t let any country boy siag off my team,be it CCFC,cork GAA team,hurlers etc

The prospect of facing a star studded Cork team in their own back yard must be a big turn off factor. Then again though, this group of players were very competitive at minor level in 2017 when they were unlucky not to defeat Tipperary in Thurles and had they gotten over Clare in Ennis, which was a game that was played in a deluge of rain from start to finish, they would have given Cork a much better game in the Munster final than what Clare did. Once a management team is eventually appointed, I don’t see any reason as why they can’t go down to Cork and give a good account of themselves.

It does depend on how well organised/trained they are. You can’t just land up with a team of good players and hope for the best.

2 of them are now Limerick senior hurlers- O’Brien and Connolly.

Minihan started for the 21s last year and had a good club season.

The likes of O’Shea, Tobin, Paul O’Brien, Boylan, O’Riordan, Carroll, Considine also had big club seasons. Some of these have improved a lot since minor too. And you’d hope it’s a chance for the likes of Woulfe & Nicholas to really impress again.

Ashman · January 11, 2019, 3:27pm

You are spot on but the current cork team have never collapsed on a big day .

That post is one of the greatest piles of metaphorical steaming shite ever posted on here, and that is some achievement.

anon32894817 · January 11, 2019, 4:08pm

They collapsed v Waterford and limerick in the last two semi finals.

Breaking_my_balls · January 11, 2019, 4:12pm

If last year’s semi was the other way around people would have had a field day lambasting Limerick for collapsing.

When the pressure came on they folded

glasagusban · January 11, 2019, 4:14pm

It doesn’t matter what way around it was, anyone going on with that simplistic type of shite would have been wrong.

dodgy_keeper · January 11, 2019, 4:15pm

I’ll be delighted if the likes of Cahalane, Cadogan (the shit one), Joyce or Ellis are lining up against us next May.
