Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

[Julio_Geordio]

@Big_Dan_Campbell

Hegarty would be as well off staying with football, for all his athleticism and ability in the air he is far too slow in his hurling and his swing is far too wide and all the training in the world wouldn’t bridge the gap needs at senior inter county level. The other two lads in the half back line look to have plenty of potential though

@Big_Dan_Campbell

You can but you have to be realistic as to how much improvement you can make. His swing is terrible and it is very hard to rectify something like that in a lad who is 21 years of age. To go from the level he is currently at to being able to senior championship hurling would be a huge leap, I doubt you would find many examples of lads who have made similar improvements as Hegarty has. He is more than raw, he has serious technical limitations that a decent club side would exploit let alone I/C sides

@Julio_Geordio

I think you are wrong on this @Big_Dan_Campbell. I expect him to have a decent inter county career.

He is a young chap playing at a low level all his life, where he was no doubt lording it. Without running down the St. Pats lads I doubt he got the best coaching coming up. He has also been focused mainly on football.

The things he has you can’t coach, strength, height, positional sense, and an ability to win ball in the air.

Brian Begley completely transformed himself as a hurler much later in his career after giving up the football.

@Big_Dan_Campbell is one of the most bring people on the internet and usually calls things wrong but i do not appreciate this type of revenge posting that we see here…

this is the start of it now you see, by tuesday afternoon this will get right nasty, all sorts of posts and skeletons will be dragged out

Fuck it that was nearly the biggest bottle job in the history of bottle jobs. I don’t think I’d ever have gone to another match again if we managed to fuck that away. Canning brought Galway back into it but after every one of his scores I’d we squandered a chance afterwards. Delighted it was Mulcahy who eventually stopped the rot, he covered a savage amount of ground yesterday. I’d love to see the stats on Mul, Flanagan and Hayes.

Everyone on here was delighted for Galway on the Sunday & Monday last year. By Tuesday they were hated. Hopefully something similar happens this year.

We’ve one year, maybe less to be smug cunts. I’m not wasting a minute of it

Chalk it down pal.

We will be insufferable now. Well, more insufferable

there are no better people to launch into it either than west limerick folk, the bile will be unreal, attacking all and sundry who wrote them off and trod on them over the years.
it has started already in other places with fellas marching thru charleville-

[PhattPike]

There will be an absolute deluge of them. Has @glasagusban posted the one where he said Limerick would win an AI before Cork and half the forum laughed at him yet?

The new man will need time to bed in/fall out with everyone. 2018 will be our year

Would have been worse than ‘94. A draw would have felt like a defeat too.

As children you and I spent endless days of fun

its going to be a long 24 hours now on the internet waiting for the whole thing to open up, it will be well worth it though

+1. It’s usually the evening of the day after when vanquished INTERNETTERS explode with rage. In fairness, the bland “best team won, congrats Limerick, savour it like we did last year” posts from the Galway lads have been a noble effort at keeping it together and most of them have disappeared after offering the token platitude.

But they’ll have spoken to family and friends at more length now, built up a few imagined grievances and the seethe will be building nicely as the day develops. So far on TFK any lashing out has strangely been reserved for a few posters from yesterday’s non competing counties, with poor @Appendage and @Fagan_ODowd taking the brunt of it.

+1. They were beaten by Limerick but for some reason they have been windmilling at Wexford and Waterford since the game finished up

[Bandage]

Indeed. Hope you’re holding up okay.

[farmerinthecity]

Tune.

[iron_mike]

Having said all that , the Limerick formumites refused to let themselves get drawn into vile exchanges for the last three weeks and have acted with a great degree of decorum for the last 3 weeks.

I’m just about holding it together, but I’m not sure how much more of this barrage I can take.
