Semi-Final
Provincial Winner v Quarter-Final Winner
*Subject to the respective Provincial Champions not meeting the defeated finalists from
their own province at this stage and, where feasible, the avoidance of repeat pairings, a
draw shall be made to determine pairings.
Iāve read that a few times and my reading of it is that, in your scenario, if Wexford beat Cork in a quarter, and we beat Kilkenny, we would be playing Galway in a semi.
I said all this shit the other day but would ye listen?
Nah
Doesnāt matter who wins Munster as longood as we win our quarter final and the Munster runners up win theirs. We will avoid Galway
Good for ye
If you want to win the thing you have to beat them somewhere along the lineā¦ anyway, letās try and win our two games firstā¦ you know, the auld Q/F, most likely versus Kilkenny who we havent beaten in 45 years
Hate all this avoid this team avoid that team. blah blah blah. Who gives a fuck?
Weak mentality, classic Limerick.
Are we just looking for a ālong runā in the championship & a day out in Croke Park or actually fucking win something for once?
Lets beat Westmeath or Carlow first. Iād say we have never beaten Carlow in Championship hurling
Hear here.
No wonder they are writing articles about Limerick fans losing the run of themselvesā¦ We were in a Munster final last week. This week we are avoiding Galway in the AI semi-final ā¦ dear oh dearā¦
HurlingFacts.com would suggest we have never played Carlow in championship hurling.
Iād say thatās what heās getting at, bro.
Of course we havenāt. What kind of a bollix are you thinking we have? Shur up to a year or two ago they didnāt have a hurling team.
Here comes billy big bollix @bandage with his tuppence worth
Jaysus his building up with a big retort
Iād say heās after falling asleep and his forehead is resting on the keys
It will be a jibe at the likes of @iron_mike and @glasagusban losing the run of themselves and hyping the team up too much. Heās rightā¦
Fuck this if it isnt longer than War and Peace I will be very disapointed
@Bandage is well known for carefully editing and reediting his posts - heās a perfectionist and will want the message delivered clearly and yet succinctly and with a sprinkle of humour
A very small sprinkle I would suggest
Heās back ā¦ he went for a slash there iād say.
Hope he washed his hands.
Limerick have pretty good hurlers but I thought their energy, intensity, commitment, work rate and other such terms / buzz words were key to their success as far back as watching that league semi-final against Tipperary.
The two tall young lads in the half forward line aggressively imposing themselves on the half back line and not allowing a platform to the opposition. Morrissey working up and down the left flank and foraging deep like Steve Guppy in Martin OāNeillās 3-5-2.
Space created for the full forward line with one of them coming a bit deeper to leave two inside. Tight marking defenders then with space condensed by the half forward line and midfield dropping back, leaving Hannon a free ride at centre back. Lynch also came into his own at midfield and is tremendous at winning possession in tight situations and launching attacks from deep.
All that energy and intensity was missing on Sunday, but Limerick should rebound strongly once they rest and reassess.
