Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Thought WOD did well when he came on too, was straight at the pitch of the game. His handling was top class.

The Dow did well too. Just really pleased for all concerned.

How we pick three from Gillane, Flanagan, Mul & Peter Casey for the inside line is beyond me.

Oh Lord, Iā€™m still buzzing.

The Cork cunts have all the accommodation booked for the Semi Final

Exactly how we should be using the Dow. Bring him in centre forward with 20 to go. Heā€™ll pick up lose ball and find space where others wonā€™t.

Agreed re Oā€™Donoghue. Very assured and made zero errors.

Maybe getting the start in Carlow stood to him although I thought he looked very nervy down there.

I was in the old stand. Were you one of three amigos? One of ye was saying ā€œThereā€™s goals there if they want themā€

If there is to be any criticism of management yesterday, I felt the introduction of Dowling and Casey in particular could have been made about 5/10 minutes earlier

im surprised people are worried about the full back line. It was an awful day for backs. So slippy and it was all man for man stuff. I was skeptical of Casey before but he was under pressure yesterday and he really fronted up; blocked, fouled and pulled to keep Kilkenny out. Gave away nothing easy. You really find out how good backs are when they are being beaten. How do they react. They got no handy goal chances which is key. Finn cleaned reid in the first fifteen minutes when kk were well on top. English is just so good too.

The early train also ā€¦ I presume a special train will be put on.

You got the half and half jersey ready for Sunday week, palā€¦?

Id like to assume soā€¦ Iā€™ll keep an eye on it

theyā€™ll have to put on specials. They canā€™t have the train from Heuston serving both Cork and Limerick people and changing at the junction. Thereā€™d be bedlam coming back from Dublin

Iā€™m getting the train to/from Limerick. Thereā€™s no way Iā€™m sitting on a train from Dublin to Cork after, Win, Lose or draw

Thereā€™ll be 70k at that semi final Iā€™d say.

Both teams will bring a huge following.

I had to stand after getting on in Charleville yesterday

Tickets surely be online todayā€¦

thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying. The Dublin trains from Cork would typically pick up Limerick people at the junction.

Theyā€™ll need a good few specials to ferry people from both cities.

Is there Super 8 football on that weekend?

There was a good few Kerry fans on the train back last night.

No thatā€™s the break weekend

No, it is a free weekend, final round the week after

Nice one. The hurling is the only show in town that weekend so.

Iā€™ve no idea. I donā€™t even look at the football calendar.
Youā€™d have to hope not though.

A load of Kerry supporters got on the train I was on in Mallow yesterday heading up.

Right, thereā€™s going to be a bit of logistics needed for this semi final
