Havenāt seen one person on here say Horgan decided the match. Anyone with more than a single brain cell will acknowledge that Clare were miles better and thoroughly deserving winners.
In saying that take off the blue and gold tinted specs for a minute. He was fucking atrocious yesterday. The goal was a fairly big moment in the game and he screwed it up royally. Not even shite club referees up and down the country blow the whistle but then let play continue and award the goal. Itās not in the rule book. If Conlonās shot had gone wide would he have just given a puck out?
He pulled Limerick up repeatedly on short puck outs but allowed Clare do as they pleased.
Conlon nearly took Hickeys head off but no yellow. Fitzgibbon does the same a few mins later but gets booked.
Heās normally tolerable as a ref but he was brutal yesterday. Heās well connected in the referees circles so he will continue to get big games but yesterday he was like that prick Seamus Roche of yester year the way he fucked one team over. (Condon should have been sent off too and given away a penalty before you say anything)
Best young up and coming referee? Well thereāll be mayhem if this is the case.
The bar is fairly low but Iād rate Colm Lyons and Paid OāLeary as better than him, to name but two.
Take out the three or four at the top who are miles ahead of the rest (Kelly, Gavin, McGrath, Kirwan etc) and itās a fairly sorry group thatās left.
I dread seeing any of Johnny Ryan, Alan Kelly, Keenan from Wicklow, Cleere from Kilkenny and a few others covering our matches.
Horgan got the sending off right but little else. Again I repeat he didnāt decide the game though.
Not at allā¦as a few of us have said, that goal and Clareās poor shooting gives TJ an excuseā¦ The reason we are miffed, or whinging according to Harry, is that weāve been subjected to this shit for 2 hears already and we know what way our summer is going. Unless thereās some miraculous formula stumbled upon between now and mid June, Tipp will give us exactly what they gave us last year, a hammering.
Gavin can play at 6. He was good there last year in a very poor Limerick side (and one that beat Clare in the Championship may we addā¦)
We will get a nice trimming from the Dubs in Parnell i predict. The nature of that defeat may hasten TJs departure.
Problem is I doubt Kiely will accept the job mid season. It would make no sense for him to do that. He will want a fresh start.
The dread in my heart is the stupid cunts will turn around and hand it over to Don Flynn or some other clueless clown and by the end of the year weāll be in a bigger fucking hole than we are already.
1st ball Hickey takes off with and loses/wastes id take him off, teach him a fucking lesson. Does his initial job so well and then over does it every time.
Gavin should sit deep in front of Richie Mac to cover him. Darragh Donovan (in the presumed absence of Jimbob) should play in front of CB position to cover this.
Lynch & Browne midfield with Lynch working between HF and midfield.
Downes & Nash to do the hard work inside. Both mobile, big and hard working enough to carry it out. Its the half forward line id be very concerned aboutā¦mobility not great there.
Never one to pour scorn on anyone when down, but any Limerick supporter who advocates the retention of the fat corner-back Condon (No.2 I think) needs their heads tested.
Thereās an All-Ireland in them yet, itās only a matter of time.
Iām pointing out a salient fact @ProjectX. Heās done, only stick a fork in him. His manager should have shown him the
crooked finger after the choke tackle. Possibly a great servant (Limerick hurlers arenāt high on my radar) but here in Leitrim we recognise pipe bombs on sight.
. Iād be slightly miffed.
