[quote=âkerry1891, post: 820526, member: 1379â]From a Limerick point of view they got a few things badly wrong. I said it to a few beforehand that this mullarkey of finishing with your strongest team is well just mullarkey. Eventually the day will come when the game is too far gone from you when the subs who are the better players come on. Start your best 15 and let the subs fight like dogs in training and in games when introduced. That will leave you with impact subs which is what you want rather than some of your best 15 in the subs.
Also I had a great view from the Upper Hogan. Wayne McNamara was the spare limerick defender the entire 2nd half owing to Clare dropping men back. The completely wrong man for that job. Doesnât sweep up across a back line and his distribution of the ball isnât that clever or quick. Surely someone else would have been more suited to that role? Seamus Hickey was that man but alas he got the injury
Also 3 of the half forwards are workers rather than natural forwards. Balance all wrong here.
John Allen did not live up to the wonderful reference he got from Donal Og on the Sunday game after the Munster Final![/quote]
It wasnât John Allens fault that a lot of Limericks players misfired.John Allen won a trophy as Limerick manager.So he has an all ireland as Cork manager on his CV as well as a munster title with Limerick.
