Who played because of politics?
It is no surprise that the team with very few senior panelist played like a team on a mission whereas the lads with two masters were woejus. The lads on the senior panel are better off out of it. Give them 2 weeks away from training and bring them back fresh.
He doesnât see eye to eye with the gaffer. Which is a shame, if Kiely/Kinnerk and co worked with him he would be a decent sub when the game has opened up.
Limerick have had a successful year whatever happens from here on in. In bonus territory now.
Did Limerick have the same management team as last yearâs AI winning side?
Yes
Politics in team selection?
I donât see it lads; reacting a bit hysterically to what was just a poor performance.
Iâm not watching them in training, but based on performances against Clare, OâDwyer deserved his start in the corner. OâReilly was well below his usual standards. OâReilly is the bigger name, it would have been easy for Donnelly to pick him but OâDwyer deserved a go. It didnât work out, fair enough. OâReilly has great pace but heâs not even nearly the finished article yet, heâs very very raw.
We were just beaten in every aspect tbh. Outfought, outsmarted, outplayed. The lads will be disappointed.
Easier to pick the names that you are told to pick Iâd say.
O Reilly has wonderful pace and finishing ability but he can be very peripheral . Even at club level he can be distant for long periods .
That said he has a real talent and is well worth working on .
Ah will you ever fuck off and cop on .
Senior and Minor double on the 19th August will do me.
Ah now, heâs trying manfully to have a total meltdown for the entire county all on his own
2.890 posts on an u21 game. And more to follow.
I donât think there were many calls that could be disputed. Couple of close calls for sure, they had to pick a full-back, I wouldnât fancy Mackey at midfield personally but there was nothing outrageous imo.
I thought the team today looked stronger, but we just didnât perform. The Askeaton man had a poor day by his standards.
Letâs be honest . This crop are well short of the 2015 -2017 teams .
Ah they are, but still, theyâll be fairly disappointed all the same and would have expected better.
For example, they beat Cork in 2015 at minor level, and only lost by 3 to Tipp. And you could argue that the likes of Kyle & Flanagan have really come on in that time. OâReilly wasnât on the scene then. I suppose they had Casey absolutely flying back then.
And obviously some of the Tipp players could have greatly improved too, although that Tommy Nolan fella seems to have gone off the radar, he was a fine minor.

Itâll be like the year Limerick won the camogie.
EOf course tonight was a no show . But to be honest we were fortunate to beat a Shane Kingston less cork in 2015 , were plucky v Tipp in final and were well beat by Galway in q/f . That year we were competitive but in the shadow of a more talented 2014 tonight .
Tonight our two best forwards looked burnt out and as yet off the pace . Both these will be great forwards in the future . The 4 seniors from that team are already there .
Another dark night for limerick Gaa. We never learn.
Itâs been an âencouragingâ year pal.
Wonât be successful until I see trophies, medals & a fucking banquet in Adare Manor celebrating as far as iâm concerned.
