I predicted Galway to win today by one score. I was as least as close as you in getting it right. Possibly even closer. I donā€™t recall you predicting a margin of victory for Clare over this Galway team of All Ireland champions that you rubbish non-stop.

Chocolatemice predicted Clare by 5 I think and tbf their performance merited it. They were very slow out of the blocks today and found themselves 9 down but were far the better team from the 18th minute on.

Sad are the homes round Garryowen
Since they lost their joy and pride
And the banshee cry links every vale
Around the Shannon side that city of the ancient walls
The broken treaty stone, undying fame surrounds your name, Sean South from Garryowen

Hes tipping Limerick thanks be to god. He thinks cork are woeful

There are no words.

So happy for all those lads. Heart, guts, balls, character, spirit.

We go again in three weeks.

@iron_mike mate, you were pictured on tv after one of our scores around 50 odd minutes.

You looked as calm as the Dow stepping up to bury the penalty. :clap:

That was something else. A special victory.

I thought we were gone. Unbelievable character to come back. Scarcely credible the resolve they showed.

The Kilkenny match was stressful but this was a few levels above that. It was only when David Reidy put over his point I was comfortable. Doing Brendan Bugler fist pumps for a good ten mins after full time. With the odd guttural roar thrown in too.

Will have to watch it back again but I donā€™t think we played all that brilliantly. Heart and spirit never in doubt but fairly loose at times, gave away a few poor scores. Plenty to work on which is a nice way to go into three weeks time.

An All-Ireland final. I still canā€™t believe it. Weā€™ve come from nowhere compared to the last few seasons.

God bless the Limerick hurlers.

FAO the forumā€¦ The bauld bomber Griffin was sat in front of me and Phil and we were watching /conversing/cursing/celebrating together.

When we got the peno I was shouting to put it over but bomber said no, ā€˜now you bury themā€™ ā€¦ And so it came to be.

Wild scenes at the end.
