I’m sorry but he isn’t even in the top 40 in limerick. He’s a fine club a hurler but arguably naps 4th best forward. He isn’t in contention.

I’m sorry but that attitude is bolox. Next weeks game is huge and we can’t keep passing up on these opportunities. “Progress” and “next year” are the buzzwords in limerick Gaa for far too long. We have a chance to really lay down the marker next week. Show the previous two efforts were no fluck. No more excuses.

Maybe not. I’m only going on what I witnessed over the last two weeks.
Look I don’t know.
Overall I think Limerick hurling is in a better place then it has been in 30 years. What’s needed now is common sense and calm heads. A quarter final is achievable this year. The biggest battle facing Kiely is to keep a Ludlow on it all

Aran gillane would have loved to have been playing the Adrian breen role yesterday or seanie Tobin or Graeme mul. Yesterday was a Million years away from championship at intercounty level. The 3 lads to enchance their chances yesterday were dowling and the two Casey’s.

Loughnane was gas. Couldn’t conceal his delight when Cork scored just before the break

You could do with honing your comprehension skills, young fella.

Nobody mentioned “next year”. I clearly stated that it’s all about championship and next Saturday’s game is a worthwhile stepping stone towards same. That’d be this year’s championship, should you fail to understand me.

Saturday is an opportunity for one thing only - another game against decent opposition. The more of these games we play the better. It will not define anything, only than to give fodder to the fickle cunts who will declare us kings or paupers depending on the outcome of 70 minutes hurling.

Get with the bigger picture.

Your a born loser inhibited by the past. Thankfully limericks team is full of ambitious youngsters willing to seize their chances.

He has had chances.

Spot on. It’s another game that would be good to win and learn a bit more and that’s all. Some lads cant get by without overhyping games and players, going around calling lads who’ve yet to play a championship game superstars and heaping pressure on them, and tis the same lads will turn around and tear them down five minutes later. Maybe that’s the way it’s gone these days with the sky sports and the social media.

If Limerick are serious about making progress this year, big calls will need to be made.

  1. Quaid
  2. Finn
  3. Casey
  4. English
  5. Byrnes
  6. Hannon
  7. Hickey
  8. O’Donovan
  9. Lynch
  10. Hegarty
  11. Hayes
  12. Dempsey
  13. Gillane
  14. Flanagan/Dowling/Downes
  15. Casey

We have a serious chance of getting to a quarter or a semi and from there who knows. I think the fifteen has the right amount of cut about it, serious work rate and a scoring full forward line. I put Dempsey in as we are struggling to get scores from the half forward line.

My sources tell me Limerick co board are pleading with the GAA for as late as possible a start to the game to avoid a clash with the rugby. They fear only a handful of fans will travel

Hurling men don’t give two fucks about rubby.

The games will be staggered anyway due to TV coverage. I’d say Wexford Kilkenny will be a 5pm throw in followed by the senior match
