Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Sorry I couldnā€™t make it Mike. I had graveyard Sunday to attend, and to be honest I thought you were on top of things.
I wonā€™t let you down again.

There were a few balls went his way, he just wasnā€™t at the races today, I donā€™t think he starts any more, better off coming in anyway as he did during the league to good effect.

The much maligned Jack Browne beat him up a stick. Walked all over him

An awful lot of auld bullshit surrounds Paul kinnerk, but his coaching record since 2013 is appalling. Its gas really.
Then thereā€™s that chump joe Oā€™Connor , another 'reputation ā€™ who oversaw a fast top of the ground Clare team walking in quicksand in 14 15 and 16.
Last year limerick were fat. Now a limerick team are bollixed after 3 weeks in a row.
Its gas.

Jack Browne is maligned for a reason.

Iā€™d have to watch it back, but I wouldnā€™t be pinpointing him as the material reason that we lost by 11 pts.

Limerick just didnā€™t turn up unfortunately.

Judged off 2014 form. He has been solid as a rock this year throughout the league and championship and is a real leader.

The scene was set with Dowlings first free. He did his usual bull shit of trying to send it out of the park where a drilled free would negate the breeze. He offers fuck all else from open play. Limerick are a better team without him. Casey to come in for Mulcahy and Gillane for Dowling and we go again.

Judging by that picture you posted earlier, you were just a few rows in front of me pal.

I wasnā€™t having that conversation, he just wasnā€™t playing well and was replaced, no surprise there.

Rubbish, he was the best forward ye had on the pitch again today

Pat Oā€™Connor comprehensively won his battle with Shane Dowling.

Limericks discipline has been poor to date in the championship.

Agreed. Itā€™s where they will need to learn if they want to push on next yearā€¦ some really stupid fouls.

Iā€™d dispute that to be honest, Dowling had to fight for his ball today due to substandard delivery but Iā€™d say he at least broke even on the day, the missed frees were poor but his vision remains top class.

He didnā€™t score or set up anything from open play in the game I was watching.

the collective first touch of both teams was absolutely atrocious
disappointing to watch at this level
