Derekâs famous who ever beats Waterford will be climbing the steps
These refs dishing out yellow cards to defenders from 90 yards away is starting to become a complete cod.
Between black cards and yellow cards and frees for nothing called from 100 yards away, the game is gone so heavily weighted in favour of forwards its a joke.
Duggan actually fouled Cahalane when Duggan had the ball yesterday by doing a kind of Rubby hand off move and got a free inâŚ

Iâm not sure much if anything can be learned from yesterday from a Cork point of view. Clare just werenât at the pitch of it and have four weeks now to gather themselves for an AI push. I still think theyâre a threat with Rodgers and Taylor to come back. They wouldnât fear Cork in particular in Croke Park. However, Iâm not sure I could see them beating Limerick on the evidence to date.
For Clare, I think the week turnaround was possibly tough on the energy levels needed to get up for this on a sweltering day. Without watching the game back, it looked to me that Conlon was given very little support in front of him. Barrettâs lateral runs to the wings just werenât being picked up sufficiently by anyone - but credit to Walsh and Healy for making this space for Barrett to exploit. A fair bit of chopping and changing in the space of a week in midfield/half-forward line canât have helped Clare in dealing with this.
4/4 for BOC and Co and youâd have to be pleased. Theyâre playing smart hurling with a good blend of short and long and a bit more of an edge to proceedings when not in possession. Walsh and OâConnell have added loads in this regard.
Again, I think this year is as much a psychological bleed-out as anything. And fair fucks to them to date.
Ben OâC wonât give a fuck about the route for the MF loser, and rightly so. Cork have a proud record of home Munster SHC finals to protect in the PĂĄirc but it will be a titanic challenge.

Why is SOD multiple feet behind the goals and running the wrong way? Fuck off with this AI shite.
A question we often ask

James Owens confirmed as the referee. 3rd time in 5 games weâll have had him.
Owenâs refereeing. Disaster. Only gave us 5 frees the last day in Cork.
At least itâs not Stack.

Stack shouldnât be allowed referee intercounty games as he does not know the black card rule. He has made numerous wrong calls on it . Brian Gavin even called him out on it in the cork examiner

Cork had a match played the last day out while limerick were coming in cold. Cork are down Joyce and fitzgibbon while the limerick starting team has gotten stronger. Obviously limerick also had a man sent off which hopefully wonât be the case this time. All put together limerick should be winning this by six or eight points.

You might as well have left it at that.
If you had seen him do club games youâd wonder how he ever made it onto the inter-county list
Name recognition and good connections will take you a long way

By God heâs surely erratic but heâs streets ahead of Stack. Stack is woejusâŚ.

Agreed. All things considered we will do very well to be competitive here such is Limerickâs strong record against Cork over the last few years.
Our record against ye is terrible and that comes into it too. If we canât bate ye with a bit to spare on this occasion weâll have no chance later on and may as well throw our hat it.
