I was there. It was a snakey belt. Dempsey was lording it and Na Piarsaigh were well on top at the time.
Na Piarsaigh went baldy headed for goals when they were on top with the wind that night, Downes hit the angle of the post and the crossbar with a shot that would have been one of the best goals i’d seen live.
Portumna were just cuter on the day, they played the wind perfectly, Na Piarsaigh had oceans more than them and fought like fuck, they probably needed to lose that one to learn from it.
It was a red card all day long.
it was but I was disgusted with Na Piarsaigh after it.
They let Joe get away with a brutal draw across a young fella. If he wasn’t put off by the ref he should have been carried off.
Was that the game Ronan Lynch scored 2 sidelines in, on his club debut?
he got two cuts and a moster score from play, i think he was still in Ard Scoil at the time.
It was an awful night for hurling
Would have been before WOD’s time I’m guessing or was he on the panel at that stage?
Till Joe Canning ended his career with a belt.
WOD was playing. he was on the limerick u-21 panel in '14.
Jesus Na Piarsaigh were very green on the night, looking back at it.
Downes was absolutely exceptional on the night. Caused all sorts of problems for Portumna, he had some paw on him
2013 - 2014 I think he was in exceptional form for the club? The Wexford game later that year really finished him.
So after 8 seasons to finally cement a starting place in 2014, TJ had a dip in form in 2016 and 17. That’s essentially 10 seasons out of 14 where he wasn’t up to a whole lot and 4 seasons where he’s been very good.
TJ had a very good final in 2010 but was surprisingly taken off before a lot of other big underperforming names. I don’t think himself or Cody saw eye to eye for a number of years.
Is the ’ quicker to type than the 0?
A win for joe.
It depends.
Is TJ Reid ever injured? He hurls all year most years but never seems to be injured or needs resting or anything. League, championship, club then repeat
Sure he wouldn’t play too much in the league the years ballyhale get to the all Ireland.
He gets his strength and hardiness instilled from his Limerick bird. What belts he gets on the field pale in comparison to what he likely gets at home if he oversteps the mark
How come you voted for Seamie this time?
Joe canning is just a much much better player than Seamus. Joe is incredibly clutch. Has Seamus ever stuck over the winner in a big game? Or saved tipp from defeat with a last gasp score? Some sideline by joe v Clare in 2018.
How many goals does Callanan have to score to prove his worth to you. Seamie’s performance in 15 will go down as a greater performance under pressure than Joe has ever done, albeit on the losing side. He has been nominated 4 times for HOTY, and should have at least 2 gongs, if not more.
Having said that, both very hard to separate, honestly can’t choose between either. The two best forwards I’ve seen since DJ.
