It was great for Waterford to nip in and bag a National title. Only the 3rd in 60 odd years.
I was with you up to this. We are about 5 or 6 All Irelands off eclipsing that era
Youâve Limerick lads who go to a few matches and act like theyâve something to do with the success of their county team,
Hurling is very SERIOUS, not at all a form of entertainment
The only lads who give us any credit are the Kilkenny people, they respect the hard work and strength of this team.
That would be the general view of it. Particularly the first paragraph.
In fairness, Cody has had about 4 seperate excellent teams in his time. The 08â one being the greatest ever.
Limerick would be going for 5 very possibly but for the line call in 19.
This Limerick team is as comparable with KK 08â as any team has ever been.
What do you deserve credit for
Everybody, absolutely everybody recognises that this is a brilliant Limerick team, outrageously good, donât be fooling yourself
Weâre not. Kilkennyâs 4 in a row side of 06/07/08/09 are recognised as the Greatest of all time. Their team had seen a bit of change from 2011 and 12 onwards.
Itâs their 4 in a row side Iâm talking about. If we win this year weâve 3 in a row and 4 in 5. Weâd be on the cusp of eclipsing them, which is what I said
Even if none of it is true, he is still coming across as a awful gobshite lately.
Arrogantly predicting wins last year on national media for Waterford (semi final) and then for Cork (final). Fair enough he stuck his neck out but he is at the same nonsense this year
Whatâs funny is how blatant McGrath is with it all.
Hurling is very important in some peopleâs lives. There are Limerick posters here who have been directly involved in Limerick County teams believe it or not, I know several of them. There are other posters who more or less run their clubs along with 2 or 3 other guys, theyâre absolutely tremendous club people. Thereâs some posters on here who have coached Limerick Senior players, invested hundreds of hours in them of their free time.
There are others who have had tough times in the recent past, and their interest and love of Limerick Hurling have sustained them through it. I know of posters on here who share a very strong bond with family members, memories of loved ones etc through following Limerick. For many Limerick posters, being involved in the GAA at grassroots level, or lucky enough to have some involvement at inter county level, has been an absolutely huge part of their lives.
Very similar in how being an incredibly patronising, virtue signalling, predictable boring poster who revels in attempting to appear superior to strangers on the internet about their interests and hobbies and passions is a big part of yours, for some strange reason that probably points to some sort of deep seated insecurity.
Anyway, I still love you mate.
They won 6 in 7 years mate, 7 in 9 years. Limerick nowhere near eclipsing that yet.
The Tipp 10â team is a great team in their own right for their skill, longevity, smattering of truly great players and most importantly, stopping the juggernaut in 10â.
I think of this Limerick team as being on for 5/5 because based on everything we now know about them, thats what wouldâve happened if that 65â was given in 19.
Youâre combining a few different Kilkenny teams there now in fairness. Iâll agree with you that weâre nowhere near matching their period of dominance and wonât. However would you not agree that the 06 to 09 side were a distinct side as opposed to the 2012 crop where a nice bit of new blood had been added no??
Codyâs first AI winning team is a good bit different to the team that ended the great Cork team even.
Wow, youâve nearly brought me to tears.
All that yet you canât understand how somebody (like me) can love the game yet not take it very seriously in the grand scheme of things, you think you can insult me by questioning the âbottleâ or whatever you call it of my county team
I love the game, I love when Cork win games, but it doesnât make me any better or worse than anybody else, when i was younger I suppose it was a bigger deal, maybe not living in Cork has altered things a bit, for me itâs just entertainment, that seems to drive you mad
Heâs an ape
Limerick lost 3 times in the Championship in 2019, this narrative over the 65 needs to stop.
How many bad wides had Limerick that day, how many points head start did they give Kilkenny? They had them almost reeled in by half time and still couldnât close it out. Shouldâve been a KK line ball anyway!
He was on about Limerickâs perceived superiority last year and we bating Waterford by an average of ten points in the last five matches.
