I was talking a good Limerick hurling man who was right alongside it and he said he was mortified Hayes had made such a meal of it

The Klare lads are very tetchy today for some reason led by the chief pontificator earlier this morning.

Limerick are hands-down the most experienced and decorated panel out there. Itās the same for both teams, the players are supposed to manage the game once theyāre out between the lines. If those lads canāt figure it out without Kinnerk in their ear tis all the wan. Limerick made multiple substitutions in the second half and had plenty opportunity to get messages in. The game isnāt supposed to happen in a perfect vacuum where you can have oodles of time to adjust your chess-pieces

The same job every other teamās stats team do?
Obviously teams do get messages in when the game is stopped anyway but the rules make it unnecessarily difficult.
Iād say if you asked every management, across all teams, theyād be in favour of a change. Would actually probably speed up the game, youād have less teams taking ages over frees to slow the game down, etc

Did he see Copper Collins starfished for 2 mins after Gillane walked past him?
Heres Ronald McDonald in nowā¦
Marginal gains.
Limerick have effectively tried to turn every game into a mathematical equation and this is more of it.
Like clockwork.

He didnāt say
Again, youāre bringing specific counties into a general point. This has nothing to do with Limerick, this is a point Iāve always said.
I just donāt really understand the thinking behind the rule tbh. Especially considering what was allowed only a few years ago.
I was referring to Kielyās comments so I think itās fair enough to specify Limerick. Anyone who ever stood on a line would like to have the perfect communication system to implement tactics but itās not supposed to be a game of perfect imo.
Up until Greg Kennedy, you had a situation where you could have multiple mentors sprinting into or across the field. And Iād agree that that was a bit mad.
But to go from that to so far in the opposite direction, just seems weird. Thereās no real logic behind it, itās a decision driven by the types of bureaucrats who wonāt allow subs on the pitch at half-time, etc.
It would never be a perfect vacuum but Iāve maintained this position since the rule was introduced.
Jesus. 
Itās all good clean fun for a few months of the year. We all need it. We can go back to protesting immigrants in winter.

That Melbourne chap ( unsure of name ) who is physio for Limerick is well able pass on instructions when he enters the field.
He ran in late in game yesterday and told player trying to get up to lie down.
There can be no sympathies for management of any team complaining about getting their message to players.
They all play the game, Limerick better than most.
Iām sure he did, and does all the time. It just seems weird to me that thatās how teams have to do it 
Not only are there now runners on the pitch now but hurl carriers are not allowed to be in contact with management via ear pieces.
So youāll notice that they all wear hats or baseball caps to conceal the earpiece and the mic is in their shirt.
Itās ridiculous. The GAA office lads are some fools making rules like that.
Management are entitled to make changes and communicate the changes.
Itās like rugby or soccer where thereās no atmosphere.
I doubt it was possible to hear anything 10 yards away in PUC last night.

Hurling is a simple game and tactics should be outlawed altogether.
