Limerick v Wexford- The Game to Break the Board

he’ll be living in Whites’s.

if Shefflin could play on it so can he.

I’d say Limerick will win this by 4 or 5

Their credibility was lost with some of their predictions before the Tipp game. You’d wonder if Limerick had any business turning up at all according to most pundits.

I’m getting a general feeling that Wexford are fancying themselves bigtime and pundits like Duignan will only intensify this to the border of cockiness. Lets not forget that Wexford beat a 13\14 man Clare team and a fairly shite Waterford team. If they give Limerick the space in around their backline the same way that they have over the last few weeks, I can see Limerick putting a big score up against them, particularly if they go for goals.

Wexford have no secrets and Limerick management should know where both their own team and Wexfords weaknesses lie before this game. I hope the bookmakers buy into the whole Wexford thing cause Limerick might be a good bet if they do.

I get the general feeling that your post is full of generalities and assumptions, pal. But you are correct in your comment that Wexford did indeed defeat Clare and Waterford. Wexford will also be aware of how Limerick play and the Wexford management will also be aware of Wexford’s strengths. Of course Limerick could win - your view is a bit one-sided and simplistic though. I doubt you got over 375 points in the Leaving Cert.

Why did you pick 375 pts. Is that what you got?

Unless a couple of forwards step up for Limerick here and now they’ll win fuck all. I think they have pretty much everything else except for class upfront. Two forwards in real form and they would take a lot of stopping. If they don’t find that it’d be better for Wexford to progress because they do seem to have the forwards.

I actually saw nothing wrong in that post and there is this Wexford bandwagon doing the rounds at the moment!Limerick are being written off by all and sundry which is strange for a team who are much more proven than Wexford.Unlike Waterford Limerick have the forwards to seriously hurt Wexford.Put it this way Wexford won’t get away with the wides they shot against Waterford the next day!

Limerick 8/13 with PP, Wexford at 6/4.

Teege needs to show what tactical nous, if any, he has. Got a lot of things right in the Munster final but some things wrong too.

Dunford caused havoc for Waterford, probably the closest we have to him is Mulcahy. O’Hanlon and Ryan will win most balls in the air so it might be worth moving Dowling away from the edge of the square and going for a quick, nippy two man inside line. McDonald is the fulcrum of their attack, Richie will have his hands full.

Waterford got sucked out of position a lot, particularly the half-back line. The space for the third Wexford goal was ridiculous. Our half-back line needs to sit as deep as possible and prevent McGovern and McDonald from being one-on-one with the last defender.

Limerick could be minus one of those small forwards and two senior wing backs on Sunday.

There was nothing wrong with it. He may get to the correct answer without any accurate reasoning.

He gets the feeling Wexford will get cocky.

He reckons Wexford have no secrets.

He reckons Limerick should know their strengths and Wexford’s weaknesses.

I’m sure you’ll read over it and maybe twig that Wexford will know a bit about Limerick too and that they’ll have learnt a lot about themselves.

Otherwise you’d be a bit of a simpleton really.

Yeah i can’t see Limerick living with this all mighty and all conquering Wexford team.Hand them the McCarthy Cup now to save the rest of us the bother!

Read the first sentence in the post of mine you quoted, pal.

It’s just that if Limerick win it’ll more than likely be down to the fact that they’re a very decent side.

Moreso than them having secrets and Wexford not having secrets or other simplistic guff.

I just want to drive an improvement in hurling analysis here.

1 I hav’nt read too many Wexford posters on here even contemplate defeat. I’ve also read the Wexford threads on other forums also and many of them
are talking of winning the AI. Fair enough ye might beat Limerick but calm down before contemplating beating Cork or Kilkenny.

2 I said “Limerick management should know where both their own team and Wexfords weaknesses lie” so don’t twist it.

3 Beautiful City got 380 pts in the leaving so he is smarter than you.

My point being that your comment can equally be turned around. I imagine the Wexford management should know where both their own team and Limerick’s weaknesses lie. Look, your post was the kind of shit that would fly on other message boards but it’s just not good enough here.

You said the same before the Cork game.

This is a 50/50 match. I don’t think tiredness will be a factor for Wexford. Tiredness only affects losing teams.

Stating the obvious in your first sentence I’m afraid pal. The two Lynch’s are a year too young yet, maybe two. They’ll both be good enough to start when they’re 19. I don’t think we need to strengthen the panel, the problem lies more in our use of it. We played the same half back like all year, now two of that line are struggling badly and we have tried no other player there to slot in. In fact probably our best half back replacement Ryan is being used as a half forward it seems. We have players out of form at other parts of the pitch too. Management have shown little to no trust in the bench, which doesn’t suggest they’ll have the trust to change the first 15. We also appeared to have terribly disconnected forwards in the cork game which is what I’m most worried about, I doubt that can be fixed in a two weeks, and any team challenging for honours needs to show more in their forward patterns than we have.

We had two forwards in real form the last game, IMO. Hitting the ball to them didn’t appear to be part of the game plan for us however.

He has a good point mate. Major limerick weaknesses that were not quite as apparent in the tipp game were majorly exposed by Cork. We now have the opportunity to address them (I’m not sure we will).

Who needs enemies when our own passing comments like this. :mad::confused:

The key factor in this game for both teams will be dealing with their supporters’ overconfidence on the internet. Whichever team does better in this regard will win. The other team will lose, and fall into exactly the same trap Liverpool fell into when their supporters proclaimed ‘’ we’re going to win the league’’, which as we all know was the reason they didn’t win it.
