Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

It was a Thursday night sandwiched between the Munster football final and a back donor game v the all Ireland champs Armagh .

If anything spelt the end for a dual player that week was it .

You still haven’t explained this? David reidy is half forward. Peter Casey is a corner forward.

I think there may be a lot of changes to the team for the Clare match. I think Kiely will use this to test his squad and giving guys games in a key match will keep the intensity up for the knock out matches down the line. It shows faith in his whole squad and I don’t think introducing the likes of Nash, P Casey, Browne, Hickey from the start would weaken us massively while giving others some rest time. It’s a risk but one with a long term gain

I can’t see any long term gain from losing next week or rotating massively like you suggested. If we lose it kills momentum. The knifes would be out for kiely if things went badly wrong. Can’t be sniffing at a munster title it’s another little building block just like winning the league was in my opinion. Gillane/Dowling and Casey/mulcahy are the two calls that the management May have to make in due course. Other than that it’s a very settled team.

No way. 100% all out to win this game and win Munster.

1045 train to Ennis sold out already? @Copper_pipe keep an eye out for any special trains organised during the week pal

the only gain would be to keep lads sweet in the squad.

You want these lads absolutely poisonous coming on as subs or when they get a run. Look at the Dow yesterday. Possessed.

Giving lads a run out for the sake of it would break that ethos of earning the jersey. I’ve bought into this approach by Kiely.

Yep you want Paul Browne and Gillane to earn their jerseys back. If we rotated next week and lost you’d heap a whole load of pressure on the management.

Fuck that. Best available team out and walk all over the cunts in Ennis.

Can’t disagree with that. If Tipp had won yesterday, then maybe there would be a case for some kind of shuffle as there would have been no consequences to a defeat. This is now a Munster semi final.
We have been lucky on two counts. Hannon missed last week a d should be relatively fresh still. Dowling will be bursting.
The second half was very pedestrian yesterday and be and a training session. By all means the likes of Flanagan and Hayes might see less game time depending on how they’re going. But they’re young , they have momentum. Should be fine

Fuck thats the one I booked last night. From what I can see here, your only other options are

  • Get earlier train but risk being pissed before the match after having a haep of pints in Ennis pre game

  • Get the green bus from Arthur’s Quay

That green bus will be full of Clare cunts living in Limerick :nauseated_face:

Or drive.

What kind of grown adult doesn’t have a car and a full licence in this day and age?

I’d be wary of that green bus, they have had massive fuck ups in the past not anticipating crowds for match days or events. They probably won’t have extra buses on, wouldn’t rely on them unless they confirm otherwise.

Twas very busy yesterday evening heading back towards NCW

Are you advocating drink driving? Shame on you,novice.

Or you could not drink?

:rofl:
