Someone has to

Pfffft.

Apparently there was a mother and father of a row before the cork match that year. Mccarthy wasn’t to enamoured about being moved to the corner to accommodate Joe. Not that it made much of a difference as only a Shane Fitzgibbon goal in the last few minutes made a catastrophic day into a disastrous one. 2-13 to 1-9 if I’m not mistaken

This lad thought he was a better full forward than (an admittedly aging) Joe McKenna?

He was decent. Not in Big Joe’s class though. But Joe 85 wasn’t the same as Big Joe 80/81.

32 years ago chief. Possibly. That was the end of that team anyway.

He got a goal against Cork in the 87 drawn match.

That same year he also took the shot that resulted in one of the best saves I can remember. It was against Waterford in the Munster quarter-final. I think the goalie’s name was Pat Curran if I recall correctly. @Fagan_ODowd might be able to confirm.

Yes it was Pat Curran. Funny I was always wary of playing them after the 82 ambush . It took us long enough to shake them off that day too if memory serves me correctly. Same in 94 as we only prevailed by two.

Yeah. It’s akin to people stopping to look at a fatal RTA. You know it’s wrong but it’s so bad you just gotta look anyway.

Ah no.

Very happy to give that a like.

Yep. That’s what it’s like to outsiders.
It’s top billing, box office stuff.

Pity there’s nothing like it for Tipp.

To be fair how much discussion can take place about a team of Mahers, McGraths and a thieving keeper.

If Limerick had a few of the Maher’s or McGrath’s ye might become competitive.

True, but we would’nt be Limerick then.

Ah we like to watch the soap opera in Limerick, Cork, Waterford & Clare. The players like winning matches & occasionally an AI medal too.

It’s strikes a lovely balance all truth being told.
