Its surprising that you are not in that picture?
BeTimberin is the only Clare poster with the smallest semblance of class.
Why thank you TreatyStones
I still hope we slaughter ye fuckers Sunday, but youâre an alright sort!
yeah, he can stand upright.
Jesus Limerick for no other reason alone, just beat these cunts.
Not long now.
Our start will be crucial. Weâve been slow enough all year in this regards and finished strong but as kev said, we had the least hurling done out of all left and 5 weeks off.
I see no changes if all are fit. We havenât done it all year, but again, if we get Tobin and Mul the right ball we will run up a decent score.
The use of Hickey and Browne, both sweeping back, will be key.
Youâd feel we will need a lead at half time in this one. If Clare are in it and we off load our looser bench, it could open it for them.
Fucked if my head can call this one.
Limerick by 15.

Ye have played less matches because ye won Munster and therefore didnât have to go scrambling for wins against inferior or poorly organised opposition. Ye will hockey these cunts by 7 points or more-donât you start to shit the course now Mark.
Iâm not shitting anything my good man. Limerick will emerge victorious, and I fully expect to be still drunk this time next week.
When All Ireland winning manager, Liam Sheedy, tips you to win, you know you are in a good place.
Would like to see Limerick win AI. Clare will definitely win an AI, maybe several over the next few years, I feel Limerick have more to lose than what Clare do. Cork in the final will be a different animal compared to what Limerick and Clare faced in Munster.
Ah lovelyâŚ

Clare have looked good at times, but we have to recall, they were hammered by Cork, drew with Wexford and a shambles of a galway team were within a goal with 5 to go. Those results would suggest they really are not very good at all. Allen will not allow Davy dictate tactics. They have some good players but will their inside forwards get the beating of McCarthy and Condon? No. Will anyone catch a ball off Wayne Mc? No. OâGrady will own midfield and the clare half backs will be bullocked out of it in the first half by our work rate, and tied up in knots in the second with Dowling popping every ball over with half a yard of space. The Clare full back as Iâve said all year are pure flakey and we could see Mulcahy really cutting loose. Even against Tipp and Cork Tobin and Mulcahy are scoring about two points a piece per game, and the Clare corner backs are nowhere near the level of tipp or Cork. Who will follow Hannon? McInerney? Will he have the composure to keep with him around the field?.
Limerick by 15 is right.
Can both teams in this semi final match yesterdays match?
Iâm swaying between wild optimism and nagging doubts.
If we allow Clare to deliver nice quick ball into their full forward line then we could be trouble, but I really donât think weâll let that happen. Iâd expect us to dominate the midfield diamond, and with Hickey and Ryan working back to crowd out the peripheries. Like glas I have doubts about that Clare full back line, and I think itâs there to be exploited. Iâm still not convinced by the tactic of having Mulcahy and Tobin inside, mainly because (like the Clare FF line) they both require good ball in front of them, and I donât think we really have the ball strikers out the field to give the quality of ball they require. I really think weâd be more effective with Downes (if fully fit) inside there because he would be more capable of dealing with the type of passes that our HF line tend to deliver.
Itâs no great pearl of wisdom but I think the spine down the middle will be the winning or losing of this game for us. If 3,6,8,9 and 14 are on top, weâll win.
They donât need to. They arenât playing in yesterdayâs match.
Exactly this Sunday could be a horrible game but if itâs one point or 10 it wont matter to the winner because every match is so different especially a final.

Nailed it.
Now ask yourself, are any of the Clare players likely to win their direct battles with Richie McCarthy, Wayne Mc, Donal OâGrady, James Ryan or Declan Hannon? Game over.
The Runt and glas have nailed it-if the Limerick full back, centre back, midfield and full forward come out on top, then Limerick should win it. I think as well if Limerick score more points than Clare, then they should edge it.

I think everyone of those battles will be 50-50 in fact I think Hannon will struggle to get much from the Clare FB he really impressed me in the U 21 game against Tipp.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Richie McCarthy
