Opinion: Andrew O Shaughnessy(Limerick hurler)

Tipp people will tell you he doesn’t have t"the minerals", as Tommy in ‘Snatch’ said

He was a different animal last year and looked to be filling out in stature & confidence this year again.

Has flattered to deceive alright but hard to break space for yourself on that current panel tbf.

How you keeping kid, don’t see much from you.

Overrated takes the lead.

No doubt about it, he has the ability. Unbelievable skill level. Does he still suffer badly from pre match nerves? Apparently that was a problem for him when for a few years.

I’m good. Busy lately. Even busier now with this bastard virus, don’t get much down time to be logging in here. I was offline for the bones of a week and the whole place went bananas, couldn’t figure out what happened when I returned :man_shrugging:

And there we go.

Mind yourself kid.

The last shred of respect I’ve had for you is now gone. You’ve absolutely shamed yourself for six weeks. I thought the tip on American horse racing was the final straw Saturday night after berating me about gambling for the last few weeks but this actually tops it all.

Tip?

Hey new guy. I don’t know who you are, but why would my e-friend Harry saying hi and checking in with me be a negative thing for you? Strange behaviour from you

Is it fair to try to rate O’Shaughnessy at all? He was a superb hurler and put in some brilliant displays but never got the chance to fulfill the potential that was there. That’s a fucker of a disease and sure you wouldn’t know how long it was brewing in him before he had to surrender to it…

Forde has just turned 26. He’s only coming into his prime. Seamie had a lot of the same stuff thrown his way for years too until he absolutely bossed it from 2014 onwards. Very different hurlers to each other, but there’s a slot there to be the main man opening up in a year or two
