For a lad that is gone from the panel he seemed fairly involved in the warm ups above in Carlow last weekend.

This is a side show lads

You must have been in the oub early as I saw no sign of him . Downes and Condon pucking around , but nothing to do with warm ups.

Esso_Oil · July 13, 2018, 9:06pm

He was in his tracksuit. Non stand side
Knocked a few balls back to nicky

Isn’t Downes injures?

Your_Mums_Athletic · July 13, 2018, 9:13pm

I think the answer you are looking for is Robbie Hanley, he is a fucking animal.

Malachy is still on the panel you creep.

As an outsider looking in,amazing Alan Dempsey can’t make the Limerick squad.

Put up the full team someone

Yeah, it’s strange. Subsequent managers have left him off too.

You mentioned Robbie Hanley… I was chewing the fat with a two rough Kilteely lads today in work and the team they reckon will win the All-Ireland for Limerick next year is as follows:

Eoghan McNamara
Sean Finn
Mike Casey
Richie English
Kyle Hayes
Declan Hannon
Dan Morrissey
Cian Lynch
Robbie Hanley
Gearóid Hegarty
Tom Morrissey
Barry Nash
Aaron Gillane
Seamus Flanagan
Peter Casey

I didn’t agree with 2 selections (dropping DO’D and including Nash) but they were adamant it is going to happen.

But they are Kilteely lads.

TreatyStones · July 13, 2018, 10:44pm

Barry Nash has yet to do anything to show he deserves a senior start. He came on against Kilkenny last year and was shocking

Ashman · July 13, 2018, 10:44pm

Barry Nash has yet to show he is senior IC class

anon78624367 · July 13, 2018, 10:51pm

He has that bit of a cut about him though that if he got up to speed he’d make a lovely forward

FatChops · July 13, 2018, 10:56pm

I’d go further and say he hasn’t shown the desire or application. For me he doesn’t work hard enough and I get the impression he doesn’t want to work any harder. When lads like Colin Ryan (manic workrate) can’t get into the team (which is fair enough) I don’t see the difference between Nash and Ronan Lynch for example. The comparison I make there is their lack of work rate. Bags of ability but that’s not enough.

Ashman · July 13, 2018, 10:58pm

Ronan Lynch is a far better stick man .

anon32894817 · July 13, 2018, 10:58pm

Yep that’s spot on. Nash has bags more of natural ability than Flanagan but the work rate is what makes the difference. Kiely seems to have his few favourites and nash is definitely one of those. Murphy should be ahead of him imo

Truth be told, on all evidence so far at Senior level, Barry Nash is very very lucky to be on the subs bench. I can see him fading from the inter county scene within a year. At Senior level he’s certainly no half forward anyway, no. 14 or nowhere to be honest and he’s a fair bit behind others for the inside line at the moment. Yes he has a spark and is a different type of forward than what we have but he’s a luxury player. No room for those types in Kielys mind. He’s also in direct competition with Downes for a spot in the squad in my opinion, they’re both similar in style with Nash being the neater hurler. If he doesn’t produce on his next few opportunities he’ll be under pressure with likes of Downes and Barry Murphy hanging around

anon78624367 · July 13, 2018, 11:56pm

Spot on. Downes was very unlucky with the cruciate and all these 21s coming up together. I’ll never forget the performance downes gave against Clare at u21s. I thought we had a superstar on our hands
