Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

The closer this gets, the more I’m worried. We’ve a terrible recent record against Waterford.

Logically, Waterford’s weak panel, the fact that it is their third week in a row and the fact that our game against Cork just looked like a better game should see us over the line.

We’ve a terrible recent record against everyone FFS. Get on the trolley. Dowling will outscore them on his own

That’s a lame retort.up your game kid. This is championship

A game that epitomised 1B. We were still on top for a while after The Dow was sent off, and I remember a speculative ball being sent forward by Offaly into the corner where it dribbled harmlessly over the sideline, much to the dismay of the Biffo full-forward who was in acres of space and let his disapproval be known with an exasperated “JEEEEZUS CHRIST” that was audible to all 2,000 or so people that were present in the 49,000 capacity stadium.

Lost that one by a goal. Fuckin hell, we have endured some awful days against those cunts.

We’ve endured some awful days against all the cunts to be fair kid.

Dodgy, three weeks in a row is grand for these guys, the youngest team in it too, they’ll only be getting going.

This 3 week thing is a bit of a media thing and could effect players heads more than anything. No concrete evidence yet.

“But but but… Dowling couldn’t possibly play full forward in Kiely’s system”

Even now when everybody is getting on you still manage to make a cunt out of yourself. Well done.

Apparently Dowling is going well and impressing in training. He’ll be rearing for road for Saturday night looking on at the past two games. I’m concerned about this one, I think Waterford showed last week that they’ve good strength in depth and in fact the likes of Coughlan has been upgraded on maybe, I’m concerned they’re a team we could struggle against.

But then you look at the spirit shown last week and you think, naw fuckit, we’ll give plenty of it to any team. Mon Limerick

We’ll see on Sunday what type of role he plays. I doubt it’ll be the same role Flanagan plays at 14. Dowling brings other qualities, personally I do think it changes the dynamics of the forwards but we shall see. I hope he does fucking wreck, a class act

Is this Dowlings first Championship appearance this year?

This is do or die for Waterford, lose and they’re most likely out. That counts for a hell of a lot in hurling, this will be our toughest game yet by far I reckon.

Ya

Safe to say he’s hungry then?

We’ve enough riding on it to make that irrelevant. We don’t want to have to be going down to Ennis having to win to stay in the championship. Even if they’re knocked out of it by then the cunts would be feral below

I wouldn’t get overly caught up on the number on the back of the jersey. In a lot of ways, Dowling is a very similar style of player to Gillane, thought not as nimble on his feet. Might even bring a workrate that surpasses Gillane.

He’ll be chomping at the bit, or chomping on something anyways.

I’d be more afraid of Waterford than Clare, but you’re right, I hope we have enough in it too.

I’ve heard Dowling is ravenous.

I hope we don’t starve him inside there. Feed Dowling and the goals will come.
