Limerick GAA 2023 - League champions means nothing now 🐐

There’s grown men walking around Liberty Square in Thurles this morning in their 50’s, savage hurling people, and they’ve never seen their team win a 2-in-a-row.

In contrast, across the border you’ve primary school kids who’ll be strolling back to the classroom in a few weeks and the three-in-a-row is just another bit of history that they’ve seen.

Sure Barry Hennessy our sub Goalkeeper has more All Irelands than some of them ‘Hall of Famers’, ffs will you stop

I don’t know what title you’d give the likes of Hego or Seán Finn at this point.

It’s no big deal for Limerick kids under the age of 10. 2-in-a-row, 3-in-a-row, they’ve seen them all

I’d love to see Tipp do the 2-in-a-row some day, a great Hurling County, it’d be great for them

We’d have savage respect for that great Kilkenny team that won 4-in-a-row and 8 in 10 years.

Yere up there now with the great’s :clap::clap::clap::clap:

Double next ( get there before we get a Liam I bet)

They’re modern greats I suppose.

Limerick could win 20 in a row and still be completely obsessed with Tipperary

Do you think the great Tipperary players of the noughties feel like they kinda bottled it @Breaking_my_balls. I have the memory of James Woodlock roaring that they were going for five in a row after beating Kilkenny’s drive for five, they couldn’t even go back to back the poor fuckers, telpis.

It’ll be all the sweeter when ye eventually get back. Do Forde and Bubbles start under Cahill?

They should’ve won more, took a few seasons off. Should really really have beaten Kilkenny the first day in 14. I thought they’d more talent by than KK then but KK were far tougher mentally.

Largely the same players were brilliant in 16’ when they were a long time on the road. Lucky AI in 19’ really but probably speaks to how talented they were as they were way past it physically then. Sheedy leaving them was massive. They probably underachieved but then look at that Clare team after 13 and the forwards they had.

I’ve never been too bothered by Limerick. They’d be well after Kilkenny, Cork, Clare and Galway as far as rivalries go in Tipp. I’ve always found the obsession on the other side amusing

That Caroline Currid was on the side line and fairly prominent before the game. Is her work not done by this stage? I was slightly surprised by it.

Are kinnerk and kiely in contact with the other selectors ? I don’t really follow the goings on around the side line but it nearly always seems to be just kiely and kinnerk on their own.

Michael Noonan was asked one time coming back from Brussels after getting a few interest points knocked off our borrowings from the Troika if it was a good result for Ireland.

He goes, ‘we didnt quite win the All Ireland, but we beat Tipperary’.

They have a huge inferiority complex.

Are you still working on that Limerick can’t win matches in the summer spreadsheet or is it on the long finger?

You said inferiority there instead of superiority

But they still wouldn’t have as many fingers as ye
