Munster Senior Hurling Championship 2024

The only piano your man should be concerning himself with is the one they’ll need for an oul concert to raise a few bob for the Tipp county board.

They do score very heavily in spurts tbf and it keeps them in games but they just have been conceding way too much.

I’d have a lot of sympathy for their full-back line to be honest, they’re made to look worse than they are.

Tim O’Mahony is a hurler. Bit lazy and languid, but nice hands and striker.

Fitzgibbon is a lovely hurler. The way he can swing points over off his left on the run is a joy to behold.

Coleman is just class.

The downside for the three of them is they are just not physical enough. O’Mahony is built the best of them but doesn’t use it.

Team Sky’s main asset is they are all built like Rubby League players and can run and throw their way up the field until they find a man in space who plants his two feet to lamp it over.

Nash, Hannon, Tom Morrissey and Peter Casey would be the best of them hurling wise. Cathal O’Neill seems to be coming into that bracket too now.

“It’s 9 o’clock of a Saturday,
The regular crowd shuffles in…”

Every fucking year.

Limerick are at 50% at most. They’ve been way off it for their first 2 games… Cork are coming with everything. It’s knockout for them.

DOD is a huge cog and is still out.
Casey missing is huge… His tackling is off the charts

Cork have enough pace to get at Limerick.

Cork won’t lose both home games.

They are Cork.

You clearly have never seen Tim play. He’s a slow striker, his short striking isn’t crisp at all, his first touch isn’t great.

Fitzgibbon is only good at shooting on the run. Ask him to do anything else with a hurley and he can’t really do it. Take handpasses off the shoulder and take 12 steps while sprinting, he’s the best around at.

All of Limerick’s players are infinitely better hurlers than all of them. Finn, Nash, Kyle, Lynch, Casey, their hurling in tight spaces under pressure is unbelievable- touch & striking.

Limerick should win this by about 16 points.

Sure by the sage’s definition above none of our HOTYs are hurlers at all, just accept he knows more about hurling than the rest of us.

He is trolling.

Cahalane should start but management have been told to look at youth repeatedly and are doing so, within reason.

I’m not.

Where’s your fight gone? Corkness is on the floor… I’m here geeing up crying Cork lads on WhatsApp ffs.

Cork need to go out and put the ball over the bar and in the back of the net and no more about it… No ifs, no buts.

There’s no sympathy in this game for anybody.

Puff your chest out and get on with it you cunts.

If Fitzgibbon had Kinnerick coaching him for 10 years, how good would he be?

A cohort of Limerick players went out and improved their own game on their own time and nothing to do with Kinnerk.

If you want it bad enough you’ll go out and get it.

Potentially could have been brilliant, I’m not denying that the Limerick player’s skills have improved; they obviously have. You expect players to develop with good coaching and obviously Kinnerk is the best around.

I do wonder whether some of the Cork players have been accommodated in the past to some extent? In that, their strengths remain their strengths and they’re very good at certain things but haven’t improved much in other aspects?

Surely he should be at 3 and Eoin Downey at 6 with rob Downey half back.

Keep Eoin Downey close to cahalane.

If gillane is left isolated he will destroy you. You surely want to defend in numbers.

I’d have TOM, Fitgibbon and dalton as a half forward line.

No.

Two Downey’s in the half-back line? Sweet christ.

There must be a puck out on average every 40/50 seconds in championship game.

Unless you are superb at winning your own puck outs and defending the oppositions you are at nothing.

Instantly you can see cork are going to be in huge trouble for both their own and opposition puck outs.

Rob isn’t the worst half back. He’s not great but he’s better than most. I’d have eoin ahead of Coleman or Tim o Mahoney.
