I’d go along with most of what @dodgy_keeper saud. Kyle Hayes was maybe the brightest spark for us. He’s a tough bit of stuff for a young lad, whereas usually when the ball goes into our full forward line it comes straight back out, Hayes fights for it and seems to come out on top of 50/50 skirmishes more often than he doesn’t. Great to see Barry Nash back and he worked hard when he came on in chasing and harrying fellas. Hannon was really good and confident I thought. Richie English is solid. I was very disappointed in our midfield. O’Donoghue just made a mistake most of the times he was on the ball, he is very raw. Not a good day for Hegarty either. I think we will rattle Cork though
What about the Galway team?
They were better than us. They didn’t play at a savage intensity. Point scoring came much easier to them. They won’t have the same time against a quality side come Championship time.
For all you cared.
I’d say you had all sorts of shenanigans going on in there. Repressed roasters from East Galway shaking their flutes beside qware hawks from the wilderness of West Limerick.
You managed to get a lot wrong there in a short post.
What did you reckon glas?
What did you make of Galway also?
The young lads seemed to play well on the radio.
If it was a private company (say Munster rugby) there would be a review conducted of the debacle today was and there is no question that the person organising the event would at the very least be severely reprimanded, if not sacked. But as it is with the Limerick county board they probably think today was a resounding success. Bottom line to them is they made a decent few bob and to hell with a few moaners who had a problem with queues or with programmes selling out or with no lights in the toilets or with no exit open on one whole side of the stadium. I’d say most of those things won’t be channeled back to them anyway. Sure the CB members would have had best seats in the house for free so they would be none the wiser. There is no-one accountable for the rubbish that went today is the problem.
I assumed that I’d missed some sort of arrangement where they were selling programmes outside the ground. The first decent opposition at home all year. A fine weekend (“fine till Tuesday” has been the mantra since Friday), glorious Open Stand weather and these gomey cunts have just one box open on the Mackey Stand side and run out of programmes half an hour before throw-in. You couldn’t make it up.
*The above all said, I had no trouble getting in, with Spike directing traffic at the ticket-box with gusto. Would have liked a programme though.
I believe there were a few disciplenary issues in the galway camp which was reflected in the Galway match day panel… Fr Trendy laying down the law.
Start at the beginning so of what I got wrong @glasagusban . Is it because I said your mate Will O’Donoghue had a poor game you’ve a problem with my post?
Going from the comments the Limerick County Board couldn’t organise a piss up in a toilet .
Where’s the cork match on?
Cork have had three home games in the league this year and Limerick also had the same amount of home matches. There’ll be a coin toss, therefore.
Mind you Frank Murphy will probably convince his Limerick equivalents - our apes in charge - to willingly travel to Pairc Ui Rinn if there’s a few quid in it for them.
Looks nailed on to be next Sunday afternoon. Can’t see them playing it on Saturday night with some rugby football match on at the same time.
At least we might get a programme and an auld light in the jacks.
See above:
Double header in the Gaelic grounds next Sunday would be ideal
It’s bad when you are nearly wishing that the match is on away from home!
Pairc Ui Rinn is a smashing little ground. 7pm next Saturday on a dry evening would be ideal but it’ll surely be Sunday.
I’ll be in the doghouse. Have tickets to the Munster match and whether it’s in the GG or in Cork, I’m going on Sunday. Might get away with booking “a night away”
Got away with it in 07 as the 3 games against Tipp forced me to chafe wedding g anniversary plans for all 3 weekends. Eventually booked a night in the absolute hotel for the second replay which covered the anniversary.
Not far wrong at all. You’re man Hegarty that played great against Laois was brutal. Pure headless.
