The bulk ofâŚ1/3 of the team changed by 2012 was it?
Weâre not talking about some players individual achievements, straddling several different distinct KK sides. Theyâll never be matched, those 8 or 9 players.
Weâre talking about the Greatest Team of all time, Kilkenny 2006-2009.
It is a plain fact, Limerick are better than any team in any generation. The fact Cork are a pack of fannies, Tipperary are shit, Waterford manage to shit the bed when in a good position and Galway are moaning cunts continually looking for an excuse, donât blame this absolutely magnificent team. This team will continue to dominate, they will beat Clare handy in the Munster final and letâs hope we can rip them apart in an All Ireland final but I dont believe they are good enough to get there. I think it will be a Limerick vs Kilkenny final and Limerick will give them a good trimming, not as bad as the useless shower of cunts from last year though. Sure the majority of the Cork lads here donât even go to the games and they dont even take it seriously, just a bit of fun for them lads.
It is undoubtedly a poor era for hurling and Limerick have picked up the pieces with some aplomb. There is no getting away from the fact that beating Waterford who regularly beat themselves anyway and one of the poorest Cork teams that ever set foot out of Cork wont set pulses racing. Much like every superhero needs a nemesis so does an era defining team need a storied rivalry.
The margin of victories for Limerick in Munster are not common place, this team have made it so. Your points are valid, it is hugely media driven and the next half decent performance you are a contender. There would not seem to be a contender there in the teams currently.
Ah wait til Limerick win a few more and youâll soon realise itâs all a load of bollixâŚmeans absolutely fcukall in the grand scheme of things ⌠itâs just filler in a life âŚ
Clare could be the team. They have the physicality, have developed a couple of nice pieces in both full lines and have a match winner in Kelly. Might be a year too soon but theyâve also added depth. Would be a right savage few years if it was Clare that stepped up. Theyâd never fear playing Limerick any time unlike a few others.
By fascination I mean people running them down and finding every manner possible to have a snipe off them. No other team comes in for as much criticism as this Limerick team.
Ah would you give over. This Limerick team gets nothing like the abuse the great Kilkenny teams or the Clare teams of the 90s got. Youâre imagining this.
