He did well and is a tough but if stuff⌠I must have had a club man of his in my ear all game⌠Well done Ribbie, come on Robbie, hon Robbie - all game long⌠I let out a âRobbie my bolloxâ at one stage he was doing my head in so much.
End story.
I know heâd like the camogie medal but I was surprised he went down there.
Being the first one would turn him on Iâd say, and the man who brings it back to Cork will be remembered forever.
Iâd say it must appeal to Davy hugely, and he is brazen.
A better manager would get a tune from them. Theyâd be competitive at least.
Spot on, a good example of it was SeĂĄn o Donohue who had been solid enough upto today but the short puck out and having no options absolutely killed him , meanwhile Limerick had all the time in the world with their short puckouts
And everyone clapped?
No. I was in the Cark end.
Twud be a dream job for him tbf
To be fair there was a fine Limerick crowd in all ends.
I was a small bit worried about today given our very poor league form and the injuries in the full forward line but that was very impressive. The most pleasing part was the level of hunger and tenacity the Limerick players showed. Over the last few weeks the narrative has nearly been that Waterford are the team to beat and this suited us fine but today Limerick announced that they have gone nowhere. Mike Casey was superb today and I didnât expect to see him start let alone excel like that.
I donât want to insult Cork too much as they are a proud hurling county with a lot more All Irelandâs won than we have and sporting supporters (unlike say Tipp) but that was abysmal from them, and theyâll know that themselves. I was surprised Kingston didnât walk or get pushed after last yearâs final but as has been mentioned already theyâve learned nothing from it and for sure this Limerick team are in their heads now. They will have to clear the decks and hit reset. Pat Horgan has been lauded as a great but for me he has just been a free taker for the last five years give or take. And he is the least of their problems. When you see poor Harnedy still coming on you know they are in trouble, and he was a great player in his time but heâs well outside his prime now given the miles on his clock and the injuries heâs had.
Waterford can be happy enough they got over the line they were much better overall and the scoreline flattered Tipp. Waterford won playing poorly so thatâs a good sign really for them. I think that was Tippâs All Ireland today, they needed to spring a surprise really today and get the win as they will struggle now from here. They are at as low an ebb as Iâve ever seen them, albeit like any Tipp side they can conjure goals to keep them respectable but Waterford blew them apart in a 5min spell there. Itâs a bad sign when Noel McGrath is still starting as his day has passed. Sheedy really did Tipp a disservice I think in not integrating youth earlier as they are in no manâs land now and look set for the doldrums for a few years. I think Clare will beat Tipp.
Looking ahead it does look like Limerick and Waterford are the best two in the land but one who could spring a surprise and make the final is Kilkenny, I donât see any of the others involved at the business end.
Youâve fucked yourself for the handy Douglas tickets now.
Cork wonât appoint an outsider (bar Meyler)
What style or system of play can you discern with that cork team?
There wasâŚe silence from him all dayâŚitâs only a gameâŚdonât understand the connection if youâve no one directly involved etc etc
Iâd agree. I thought the Waterford goalie made a better save today.
Coleman should be fucking dropped. For a man of his supposed ability his use of the ball was diabolical. Doesnât read the game at all. Horgan is getting a lot of criticism and fair enough his movement was chronic but why is he inside on his own. He needs some one in beside him as a foil. Limerick are in these players heads too there is no doubt about that.
Iâm writing to the Cork County Board Tuesday for a refund. Between tickets, diesel, carvery, pints and the rest Iâm in for âŹ200. Didnât even get a game. Robbed.
Under Meyler, they nearly beat Limerick in an all ireland semi final that went to extra time and then beat Limerick in a munster round robin match in the Gaelic Grounds. Now Limerick are hockeying the living daylights out of Cork
At the time, the tune from Cork supporters was bring Kingston back as Meyler was holding Cork back! Now it looks like Meyler was getting more of a tune out of Cork
I famously told @caoimhaoin years ago that Limerick had better players at the time and better players coming through, and that Limerick would win an all Ireland before cork did. It was the most bumped post of all time on TFK, poor auld Kev eventually retired from the board because of it but it was just the long and the short of it.
I remember that when was it around 215/16?
Iâm not sure myself but thereâs a few lads bookmarked it and posted links to it multiple times. You wouldnât be long guessing who, Iâm sure they could help you out.
