Will that game be away?
Neutral.
Could well be tullamore or portlaois or Thurles. I wonder Will they double up the two Cork games in Kilarney
It will be Thurles I reckon. They did a triple header at this stage in 2012 also. Tipp played Wexford in the football before Cork/Wexford and Limerick/Clare in the hurling
Buckroot! 
@dodgy_keeper youâre here long enough not to be rising to such a weak wind up from HBV. When you said we stumbled on our best half back line, do you mean Morrissey with Wayne and Gavin? Could you really learn much about Morrissey in that game and do you think he could live against Cork? Where did Paudie go in the reshuffle, surely not back to corner back?
Mixed reviews on Dowling, @treaty_exile says he was the pick of the forwards, the examiner says he was weak. Doesnât sound like he won much more ball at half forward than what went before so I still prefer him at full. Downes seemed to go well enough and hopefully the few scores boost his confidence. Canât believe Tobin was taken off, even if he wasnât going great in the second half give him 70 mins. It didnât sound like Mulcahy was setting the world alight either and weâre not going to learn much more about him in this game surely -another questionable decision from management IMO. Wouldnât worry much about it but still a little disappointing Lynch made zero impact.
Sounds like Hannon was more or less the same as v Tipp when he came in. Relatively anonymous but popping up for scores. We know he can pluck balls out of the sky and flatten lads with shoulders and run and tackle, frustrating not to see more of that from him. Strange Hickey wasnât used at all and wonder will he make it back now that Condon is properly gone from wing back, and may also be gone from the corner.
Good to see Quaid back, Iâm growing more and more convinced (or maybe just desperate) that we need to try him at 6 (next year not now obviously) -fielding and ball distribution are strengths for a start.
Sounded like James Ryan hardly burned a ball again, is he living on last yearâs performances at this stage?
No sign that weâve clicked and can compete with the top teams yet but itâs typical of the type of display youâd expect from limerick in a game like this, making hard work of it before putting a gloss on the scoreboard at the end. Itâs still possible we can come out all guns blazing and beat Dublin. The positive is from the last Dublin game we know how they destroyed us at the back and should be able to plan for that. If we win itâll be based on increased workrate, no hint of any sophistication up front yet aside from hitting long high balls to now hitting long high occasionally diagonal balls.
Roll on 2016.
For the two in a row
Are you happy with the draw
Any hurling championship pairing that hasnât happened in the last three years is a novel pairing.
Donât care who we meet really, if we canât beat Dublin or cork weâre not worth a shite anyway. Dublin probably suit us better than Cork.

We havenât met in Championship since 2011? The day Ryan OâDwyer ran us ragged. 
Another low point.
Novel is a bit of a stretch though since we played in the league quarter a few months ago.
If you mark Chute (pronounced alternatively shoe-tay, shoot, shut-eh) youâll be a long way to beating Dublin. He gave Richie a roasting in the quarter final* but it looks like there is a fair chance Keaney will be on the edge of the square the next day (which would suit him better and be foolish on Dublinâs part). Not sure whoâll pick up Chute as itâs impossible to pick the full back line the next day.
Need to stop Rushe having free reign at centre back so thereâs no way Hannon should start centre forward.
They have very little other than that. Iâm confident weâll beat them.
Richie was about two stone overweight at the time*
**As opposed to his current one stone.

True, they are just gym monkeys, manufactured hurlers. Not like our lads.
When are the 21s out?
Youâve an awful horn for the U21âs.
Just trying to sort my diary, pal.
The pronunciation of Mark Schutteâs name by GAA commentators is rather amusing. Itâs commonly pronounced âShoot-ayâ which would lead the listener to believe that the name is of Spanish, rather than German origin, which is clearly erroneous.
My personal opinion is that the name should include umlauts over the u, ie. âSchĂźtteâ (a lack of umlauts means it is a bastardised form of the name) and be pronounced âShuhhh-tehâ.
So it should be pronounced âshootâ then? Or possibly âshoot-uhâ?
I had a teacher with the same surname from Dublin, possibly related canât be too many of them, and she pronounced it shoot but in sort of like a french accented way. Anyone know how he personally pronounces it?
A quick google tells me the surname is of English origin*. So shoot it is then. Trying to be fucking fancy with their surname to let on there is some class about them no doubt.
The shoe-tay residence, lady of the house speaking.
