It not about what he can do different, you canât run through an opponent with your shoulder. Itâs not about the intent. If he met Kellyâs shoulder straight on then no issue and no free but he didnât. I could get the logic that Kelly played for it if he took a step infront of Casey knowing it was coming or even took a look his way but he didnât.
Whether it happened in the first or last minute it should be a free. It wasnât the losing of the match for Clare and I thought the ref was poor on the day for both teams as were Clare but it should have been a free.
We are like the pats in the last few years of Brady.
Everyone is a little older, everyone is a little slower and everyone seems a little injured but we are still finding a way to win.
Itâs tremendous stuff for a supporter like me anyway. Iâd say Iâll remember gillanes performance on Sunday more than any of his other ones since 2018.
Itâs really hard to know when itâll end know but the end isnât miles off either. I was extremely confident v cork and Clare but now I wouldnât be overly confident against any one being perfectly honest.
When great teams tend to crumble they tend to fall apart at seams and itâs a total collapse. I thought for a brief period after the Clare goal they could run in a few goals before half time and weâd be done but we battled on and pulled off another victory.
Could well lose the semi final and, who knows, Kiely and Kinnerk could walk away. And maybe some key players. Who knows. It will all end as quickly as they emerged and other teams will take over. Itâs cyclical. Have to take the rough with the smooth.
Sunday was as enjoyable a day out as this group have given us. Real sense of satisfaction after it. Between injuries, lack of form, other counties raising it but still inching home to another title - got more of a kick out of that than some of the hammerings dished out since 2018.
Any fan with a brain knows how fortunate weâve been to have such great days. This era will end but the legacy will live on. Telling the grandkids - âyeah, we did the five in a row in Munster back then.â
Paddy Stapleton was telling Wolly the other day that in his opinion Limerick are one of the great sides and he would have loved to see them take on the Cats in their prime.
One particular poster here just hates Limerick, thatâs entirely his prerogative (heâll have to Google the meaning of that word), we get it, but on a serious note though the intense seethe that consumes him is not good for his well being and he needs to pursue more positive pursuits.
Meanwhile, our semi final has been fixed for 6pm on the Saturday apparently. Appreciate some teams have preliminary quarter finals and quarter finals to get through before thoughts turn to Croke Park.
Itâs probably for the best if the Limerick run ends at the Munster Final. Weâve no more worlds to conquer and thereâs too many lads from other counties driven demented. Farms left untended and children not fed due fellas crying over Hego et al.
What about the rugby tackle by Will Oâ Donoghue after that. Was that not a free either? Liam Gordon had obviously let the game run for too long but he didnât referee what was in front of him.
