Last night was the first game of the league they were behind for any significant spell.
It was red rover on 50 minutes though
Tipperary have undoubtedly improved but they lack a Plan B. Limerick are renowned for their adaptability. There were just a few subtle adjustments made at half time and it turned the game.
Tom Morrissey dropped deeper into midfield and provided a screen to the Tipp puckouts that were finding their man too easily in the first half. Tipperary persisted with the same tactics and got mauled. They hadn’t a screed of a forward in the last 20 minutes as they all came out the field and played into Limerick’s barrow. Bonner Maher hasn’t the legs to play this type of game anymore and Noel McGrath isn’t far behind him. Tynan did very well to be fair to him but was overwhelmed in the final quarter.
Mike Casey was my biggest concern last night. He was beaten for the ball more often than not and some of his distribution was awful. Dan Morrissey may hold the edge for FB now.
On a final note, Liam Gordon is a very frustrating referee - for both sides.

Always was the wrong word to use but it’s happened a good bit.
Limericks plan B is to go back to Plan A and do it better
Similar to our old plan B, which was whack it higher and longer

Limerick have an embarrassment of riches. They’ll have 26 players on championship day and 25 will be able to make a difference.

They seemed to have moved up a gear or two from last year
Early days yet. Only the league
Kiely has them purring mate
We are better than last year. Lynch is worth plus 3 a game on his own. We will get out of Munster no bother. Then it’s a question of will someone catch us on a day
I’ve thought the last few years that the bigger risk is not getting out of Munster.
The semi final is the trap game. Kilkenny at their best were always primed for the semi. Limerick have stuttered in some of theirs, 2019 the obvious example but patchy enough in others
No room for the best midfielder in the country with the last few years
Every opposition team would be delighted to see Will on the bench.

Clare rag at it again
I don’t think it was too bad to be honest. I don’t think there was an intention to hit him in the head but maybe I’m naive there. Maybe a booking.
