I’ll speak more the week of the game with a prediction but at this stage we can start thinking about tickets and overnight parking close to Parnell Square.
What an occasion this promises to be
The Limericks going for a 3 in a row. The hottest of hot favourites.
Kilkenny in the long grass.
Limerick will bate them out the gate
A chance for Limerick to beat KK in Croke Park. Has it ever been done since 1973?
Who’ll the ref be?
I don’t think we should bother with one.
Yer man from Ballingarry I presume
Munster and Leinster champions in the final. The way it should be. Two showers of cunts. Will be a cracking final. Limerick by two.
Who will you shout for though?
My father was a Kilkenny man so I’m firmly in the Feline camp for this one.
Actually that’s an interesting one. Who is the neutrals choice? Will fellas actually want Kilkenny to win?
I would think Limerick are still most neutrals choice. I would say the exceptions are people from Tipp, Clare and Cork close to the county border.
I just keep thinking of the 3 in a row and how hard that is to achieve. And then KK put 3-30 on Waterford and subbed out keeper.
I don’t think we’ll keep it picked out to Limerick.
Whatever way it goes, the handshake will be a thing to be savoured, two men with no baggage, legends of the game. It’s good we won’t have a threepeat of Cody-Shefflin.
I’ve just asked another Tipp man this question (in real life) and he “wants us to do it”.
What part of the county is he from?
I didn’t ask him that, I didn’t want to come on too strong.
