Shur Cork have a great record of three in a row over the last three years in Croker Park. Waterford, Limerick and Kilkenny.

Har the players disappointed, not the manager. JK will be there for as long as he like mate.

No. Harry is right here. Tactically the management got it wrong particularly the first 20 minutes. But thats a learning process and I would be confident that they will learn from it.

It’s a bit like Jim Gavin vs Donegal in 2014.

Limerick will win the next 4 All Ireland’s

Oh I’m not sure about that but a haul of more than one is definetly achievable.

If you think so Mike. I think kk blew them out of the water at the start, it was the kk players who done that.

Correct, but we never reacted to it until they’d built up a nice lead. We stuck to the plan even though it wasn’t working. Like I said, it’s a learning process. The sideline needed to change it up quicker than they did. The fact that they came within a hairsbreath of pulling it back does not paper over it though. But I do agree, there were a few players who didn’t perform. Im not disagreeing with you btw, but there is a collective responsibility there

What a @carryharryesque reply. You’re better than that. Remember when there used to actually be interesting discussion of sports on here rather than snide bullshit like this?

Sure a good drink of a Monday is great

I’ve spent the day cancelling leave. Dont think I’ll get much wear out of my Limerick 5-in-a-row shirt either.

Only another 43 years to wait.

You made solid shite out of him there.

He’s not a happy bunny, bless.

Actually, I don’t mate.

yeah, fair point. on review, they stuck with hannon for far too long, he didn’t puck a ball after the knock. could have moved Kyle back or brought on Nash sooner. Hannon was just about getting away with it laying off hand passes to the nearest player to him, tbf nothing broke down due to him, so you could see perhaps why they hoped to get him to the dressing room and assess from there. disrupting 3 lines on the field to keep him on the pitch might be the one big regret Kiely has from the day.

the main regret from the season surely must be the lack of depth, despite what has been written about us. HF options capable of covering ground needed. GH’s touch was off in the first half too, perhaps he was injured rather than tired.

our first instinct is to run the ball when receiving possession (WOD shipped some hit from Donnelly in the first few minutes, and hid from nothing thereafter) whereas KK were a lot quicker to hand pass to a free man, consequently they dished out more hits than they received. KK are just a lot more comfortable in that environment than we were.

in a way, it’s what we thought we’d get from galway last year, they were just too long on the road to dish it out. like you said, a learning process. LK v KK will be worth admission in the NHL next year, even if the rest of it is a glorified blitz.
