Absolutely. There was a good programme on RTĆ a while back that delved a bit more into the behind the scenes of it with Waterford anyways. I have no real insight into the stats team for Limerick, but there would be absolutely tonnes of ways you could extract various insights if you had the raw data at hand. I can only go by the results on the field, and at the moment Limerick management are doing a stellar job.
That actually looks pretty good. I remember when I first got into it, looking at a few apps and they were very poor. That looks like a cut above.
Iām still a pen and paper man, I found that with the amount of various items that I was trying to record that a pen was still the quickest. But there is so much more that Iād like to look a but simply isnāt possible for one person.
If you donāt mind me asking, what level were you at? Club, college, intercounty?
Iāll drop you a pm
Iād be interested in any feedback you had on using that app also.
there isnāt much more to it than whatās in the video on that linkā¦
delivery of the information is obviously personal to the setup you are involved in. what do they want tracked, are they tracking towards targets. stats men only relay the requested information.
you need a lot of bodies to get everything and depending the level you are at it needs to be relayed in very simple terms to the players/management

Fair play for generating a few hundred posts about GPS data and timing of subs, lads. Youāre literally keeping the place alive.
Or to paraphrase an oft used generic Sunday Game statementā¦thereās savage work being done above in the Limerick GAA thread.

Barry Nash is a lazy fucker so thatās very doubtful
that phrase is only used to condescend to the weaker counties palā¦ Limerick threads are box office, always have been and will continue to be
Why do all media outlets run with the De-veen version? Itās as annoying as the mispronunciation of Lehane

whats the mispronunciation and the real one? spell it out phonetically there
like leahy
la-hee or lee-hee?
or walsh
tommy welshā¦ ffs sake itās walsh
Some halfwit on tg4 started it and it stuck.
When you say tracking targets, in your experience were they aiming for players to reach, say, a number of possessions per game or was it more nuanced than that? Was it simple totals for each metric at the end of the game they were after, or was there a bigger time-series aspect to it?
Weāve gone from whacking it long and playing Declan Hannon at 6 to GPS-based substitutions and playing Declan Hannon at 6 in a matter of months really. Itās incredible what John Kiely has done.

The only stat that matters is a win on Sunday puts us top of the Munster mini league.

no time series aspect. Simple metrics. shots from scoring zones. Tackles. number of fouls etc.
team totals also are recorded and tracked
Youād know well that LeeHee is what heād be in Cork
And youād know how Lehane is said in Cork as well,

Richie Bennis stats. we got 5 and dan the man got none.
We played high balls, low balls, cross ballsā¦ all sorts of balls Joanne.
I was above in Claughan one winter watching the Limerick hurlers in a challenge against Loughrea and one of the Limerick forwards kicked a shot at goal, I canāt remember who but Richie roars in at himā¦ will you fucking stop, Mickey Ned will be looking for you.
He spent the whole game looking at his watch as if he couldnāt wait for the thing to be over. circa 2008.
