#17 more is all….
Absolutely sickened about last night. A huge crowd, they said it was the biggest they ever had in Ballybrown. But we fucked it away.
I thought we were good in the first half, totally shut down the Mungret attack, held them scoreless from play. But whether there was a hint of complacency that the job was done, I don’t know, but the second half was like the bad old days when we used to rely on one player to do it all on his own. It used to be Barry, yesterday it was Kyle, who was absolutely phenomenal.
But Mungret were just way sharper than us second-half, way better structure-wise. Now, the goal was an absolute abomination to concede and losing 2 of our full-back line didn’t help. We’re already down 2 players who play there, and we don’t have a whole pile of defensive depth and pulling people back probably didn’t help our shape up the field. But there are no real excuses tbh, Mungret were missing their two best players as well as a handful of others, and had all the momentum second half. Games change on little things but you have to react to adversity better than we did.
Very very disappointing, we have a busy weekend/week ahead.

FFS I’m not sure why i bother. 
An astericks in 2010 and 2019 i mean for God sake. We could easily be talking about 2009 when a penalty was given which was criminal or 2014 when technology intervened and ruled out a legitimate point in the dying moments. The world and its mother know that was over the bar.
The biggest asterisks on an All Ireland in my lifetime were those played in July and December or even the one played in front of a few photographers and the players next of kin in 2021.
Hard luck mate. I was hoping you’d wipe the smile off @ciarancareyshurlingarmy’s smarmy face.

The current Limerick subs would bate the bollix off that Tipperary team.
Browne, always the show man…
You had the wrong sweeper. A number of your forwards made no impression.
How many frees did you waste?
What would you know?

Surely 80% of that crowd was K/P. Mungret have a poor enough following generally

My sources tell me, Natal & Liam were going at it?
Comparing teams is always a case of Apples v Oranges.
The Tipp team 09-19 was unlucky to come across the greatest team of all time and finished coming across the 2nd best of the modern era.
A game I’d like to see would be Tipp 2009/10 v the current Limerick team to see who would win.
Limerick would be favourites but it would not be a fore gone conclusion imho.

Limerick would hammer them, turn them inside out.

They massively massively underachieved.
Would be a smashing game, that Tipp team were always in great games.
They seemed to always be slightly susceptible to physical teams.
Forwards were indeed absolute snipers, nearly beat Galway in 17’ on very little ball.
The 11’ 12’ 13’ seasons must be really regretted. I don’t think they gave it their best shot for whatever reason. Were v unlucky in 14’ and shouldve won.
I’d suspect Limerick are a bad match up for them but it would be very interesting. Tipp would have the shooters from outside though which a lot of teams today don’t.
If the 2021/22 Limerick team met the 2018 version they’d beat them by 20 points.
The game moves on quickly.

What was the story with griffen? A late change?
Tipp lads are making a show of themselves again. Limerick are rent free in their heads. At least other countys have kept theor self respect and accept that Limerick have a generational team among the all time great

Dunno about that, they had the greatest team of all time to share that era, unfortunately for hurling fans outside of Limerick the current kingpins don’t have another great team to worry about

True, just thought to not win one betwwen 11 and 15 with their talent was disappointing.
