I don’t get the Malachy fandom, he’s not near a start yet for me. Is O’Donovan injured?

Ashman · July 5, 2018, 8:38pm

Double negative ??

Malachy would be a great sub for the hb line or full forward line. Fuck it malachy to cb hannon back in the forwards!

Bit of a sore leg. Could have played but makes sense to rest him for this one.

With WOD starting, we’re thin at midfield/half-back cover. I agree that he’s not ready to start but should be worth making the 26. I’d certainly rate him higher than POL or BOC.

Lovely little acronyms creeping into Limerick GAA…

It’s too late and too warm

Limerick fans love Colin Ryan “Malachy” because

He’s a bould cunt
He has a lovely style about him
There’s a bit of cut to him
He’s actually a lovely hurler
Very down to earth sound lad

He can’t make the 26 because he doesn’t have the pace to play in the forwards, and doesn’t have the size to make up for that shortage of pace. He doesn’t have the engine for midfield.

His most likely position would be half back as he’s actually very good in the air facing the ball. I think that’s where he played his best underage Hurling too.

That U21 final in Ennis is one of the main reasons Limerick fans love him, he was unbelievable inside corner forward that night. Similar in style as a forward to Barry Murphy of Doon actually

On another note, I’m being told that Hugh Murphy who is the PRO isn’t sending out the media updates? The new IT officer is doing that. Is this true and has the great Hugh been shafted by the new boy? (Not literally I hope. )

Julio_Geordio · July 5, 2018, 9:44pm

They had to get in the new IT officer because the PRO was so inept sure. They literally made up a postion so that he could do the job for the other fella

Bartholemew_the_Ladd · July 5, 2018, 9:44pm

I’m going to make a bold prediction and say that Tom Condon will never again wear the green and white. Kiely should also drop Hickey in my opinion.

Bartholemew_the_Ladd · July 5, 2018, 9:50pm

But isn’t it a paid position? Phelan didn’t exactly fill you with confidence. The last decent one was Sandra Marsh. Top class.

They should give the lad that runs the Milford GAA site the job.

grapes · July 5, 2018, 10:08pm

Close your hole, Tom Condon is a warrior and will play again.

FlakeAway · July 5, 2018, 10:16pm

I’d forgotten that video.

dodgy_keeper · July 5, 2018, 10:18pm

The memory of Justin McCarthy’s reign of terror gives me serious ire.

iron_mike · July 5, 2018, 10:22pm

Oh don’t go there. What makes it worse is we managed to make a semi under him

Aristotle · July 5, 2018, 10:27pm

Tbf, he hasn’t been tried inside at the highest level. He’s not the most natural forward but he’s so good in the air and he’s so direct.

I’d say he’d be very good half-back, he gets his head up too.
