It was meant in jest but unfortunately didn’t get the likes it deserved.
It got none actually…
Sure any top team in any sport has the same. You need that edge.

Absolutely. Waterford were very poor at the basics today. Touch, and composure was non existent at the back, decision making and striking way off the levels required.
The goal Limerick scored. At least 4 Waterford players went on their holes before it was tapped home. Junior stuff.
Some horrendous wides when the game was in the melting pot. The two Fitz’s (No.23 and 24 Patrick) hit terrible wides in quick succession that killed the momentum.
The red card was a factor in Waterfords competitiveness because 0-19 won’t win many games at this level.
The game completely changed after hannon went off.

Touch (Dunford and Lyons in particular) and shooting (Montgomery and Hutchinson in particular) were terrible. The amount of times in the first half we did the hard work of winning primary possession and then ducked it away with poor touch was heartbreaking.
Having said all that Hannon going off severely weakened Limerick.

I get that but these lads are on another level.
The Dublin Footballers were hard and engaged in plenty shithousery but rarely crossed the line as frequently or as spectacularly as this current crop from Limerick.
Limerick had only scored 1-12 at the point of the sending off so I’m not sure what your point is.

I thought Casey was fine when he came on but their structure and organisation wasnt the same.
Kiely didnt really trust his bench either. Barely made a sub until 60 minutes and even then only used two more.
In fact Limerick got the next 4 points after the sending off.
Ah I’d say they’d have pulled away and won by 7 or 8 if they had the full compliment for 70 mins. Although really they should have been down to 13 at that stage following the Sham Flan challenge in the first-half.
Was the Limerick penalty a square ball? Didn’t have prime view of it where I was sitting, but my instincts was it looked borderline.
There is no evidence to suggest they would and I would think the “row” really broke Waterfords momentum and gave Limerick a chance to regroup. My own view was that if it hadn’t of happened Waterford would probably have won.
Is the rule not changed now?
This is fucking brilliant, comedy gold! 
Lyons, de Burca and Prunty blazing in wides in the first half. In a row too I think?
We have a great nac of getting the lower percentage shooters on the ball for shots.

Watching Davy Fitz managed Wexford teams flatter to deceive in such circumstances for 5 seasons is probably clouding my judgement there a bit alright. Felt like a huge opportunity when Hego saw red with only 2 points between the teams.
It really was a comedy of errors.
Any one of five should have cleared it.
The backs were dog shit and all over the shop at that stage:
They steadied up when up when Tadhg went off:
