That’s the word alright, one of the most natural hurlers I’ve seen, a terribly nice fella as well

The_Most_Infamous · April 1, 2018, 1:59pm

Nicer you wouldnt meet. A lovely fella.

The great news is that Malachy as a midfielder has been nipped in the bud early… Wing back or up in the corner terrorizing the fuck out of a back.

The_Most_Infamous · April 1, 2018, 2:03pm

Its an issue alright, who’s going to go in there is the question?

anon61956325 · April 1, 2018, 2:04pm

It’s wide open for DOD or WOD.

Aristotle · April 1, 2018, 2:05pm

I still think Browne can offer something; if we want to inject a physical presence beside Lynch, then WOD is the obvious choice. It’s a pity he wasn’t available in the league though, as it’s a big stepup.

DOD would have been a player I’d have looked at, but Kiely doesn’t seem to agree.

The sad news is that’s Malachy will be battling for a Jersey between 17 and 26

A fucking B team Tipp had out

anon61956325 · April 1, 2018, 2:12pm

@Bod95

BOD, what’s your thoughts on DOD and WOD?

anon61956325 · April 1, 2018, 2:13pm

You don’t see any of that Tipp team starting in may? Interesting.

The_Most_Infamous · April 1, 2018, 2:14pm

I’m a big fan of Browne…his speed is incredible and links up very well with both half back lines generally.

My issue with him right now would be he’s just not making the impacts in games that he used to…its unfortunate…i would not write him off though, I think WOD is a fantastic club hurler…tough as nails…but is he good enough for I/C, jury ia still out on that one…

Regards DOD, fantastic hurler…but I always thought in 2015 at u21 level level for Limerick Pat Simon was better as his midfield partner so that’s another debate.

It’s always OR with ye loons.

Like when ye pick a Championship team

Classic example
Quaid
Finn
Hickey or McCarthy or Casey
English
Byrnes
Hannon
Morrissey or Hegarty
Lynch
Browne or Malachy or O’Donoghue
Hegarty
Hayes or Breen or Dowling
Morrissey or Downes
Gillane
Flanagan or Dowling or Downes
Murphy or Nash or Downes or Casey

The beauty of that is not only that it was an outstanding pass but the following score was a beauty as well. Onwards and upwards. This Limerick team will fear no-one.

balbec · April 1, 2018, 2:18pm

That’s a decent effort pal

anon61956325 · April 1, 2018, 2:19pm

It’s great to be blessed with so many options… Alternatively, when you’ve only got square pegs for round holes, sometimes you have to try a few before you make one of them fit.

Esso_Oil · April 1, 2018, 2:20pm

Just keep hammering them untill they fit

carryharry · April 1, 2018, 2:21pm

Go away out of that.

The_Most_Infamous · April 1, 2018, 2:28pm

I was thrilled last night…mentally to draw having never been ahead after 75 mins in Mordor is huge for our lads.

Extra time didnt matter a fuck…our league was won when we got promoted in Salthill.

We’ll give Tipp a game on the 20th May.

Peejaymc:

The Tipp A team can go fuck themselves. All the talk about it being the Tipp B team last night. When you brought on your A team what did they do???
Brendan Maher - handy chance at the end for a point, bottled it. Yellow card
Bubbles - one point scored, about 3 wides
Barrett - yellow carded, lucky not to be red carded.

How did the Limerick subs do?
Mulcahy 1-1
Nash 0-1
Pat Ryan 0-1
Reidy 0-1

You have Callanan, McGrath and Bonnar to come back in. Serious doubts about callanans fitness for the year. Will Bonnar be as effective as he always has been?
The likes of Padraig Maher (one of the best hurlers I’ve ever seen), his brother, John McGrath, Breen and Forde are your main men now, they won ye the game last night so quit your poor mouth fuck acting about B team bullshit.

Limerick have the two Caseys, two serious hurlers to bring back, it was Nashes first game of the year, very little played at senior level as well next year. Dowling, Downes, Dempseys, O Donoghue from Na Piarsaigh and O Donovan from Oola to come back in to add serious strength in depth.

Tipp and Galway are the top two currently, I would have Tipp as justifiable slight favourites. But Tipp are trying to maintain their level of the last two or three years to be successful. 7 of our 8 midfielders and forwards that started last night were under 21 last year. So while Tipp are trying to maintain their level, Limerick are only going to improve. Upward trajectory for our boys.

So throw your fucking A team off the side of Slievenamon, ye’ll get nothing easy of us this summer or over the next few years.

I’m going to bookmark that one. I’ll shove it right into your face when we show ye how to hurl in the championship.

It actually feels kind of wrong to mention limerick and the coveted all Ireland series in the same post.
Ye are a miserable shower of bottling bitter fucks more focused on a team like us that got our shit together than focusing on yere own misery.

The poor chap was actually hopping up & down likes sausages in a frying pan.
