Clare and Galway are the teams with forwards that pull off the most spectacular or striking moments of skill.
I’d agree with you there, both those teams on their day have players who can do anything with the ball
And that has what exactly to do with my statement about “charisma”?
Nothing, you outlined something Limerick are better than Tipp at and I countered with my own point about what Tipp are better than Limerick at
What counting?
Well they have more fingers.

I’d imagine there is no way of proving whether Tipp people are better at counting than Limerick people but surprisingly I was actually taking about winning All Ireland’s. Sorry I wasn’t clear
maximus decimus meridius had charisma in spades.
Not sure if it is charisma Cork lack
Lack bollox maybe
As for limerick TJ RYAN
I think lads are missing the point kev is making about charisma. He isn’t talking about the individuals charisma and whether they are charming and engaging off the field or a bit of a character. He is on about what they are like on the pitch, how they hurl, their skill level, leadership, movement and off the cuff ability and unpredictability which make them engaging.
The Clare team of the 90s had it in spades, as had the Offaly side of that time. The Cork team of the middle of the last decade had it as well, they weren’t all that likable by the greater public due to their strike but the O’Connor’s, Tom Kenny, Joe Deane and their half backline were a wonderful sight in full flow and while I never rated Diarmuid O’Sullivan he certainly got the crowd energised when he got on the ball. The Waterford side of the same time also had it.
That would be character rather than charisma.
That too, but would the 2 be somewhat linked in your opinion? Charisma takes confidence, having the balls to do things takes confidence too. Picking yourself up agter a failure takes confidence.
Ya i don’t think the mid 2000’s Cork were that charismatic. Bit had bucket loads of character. The 1990 team were though.
All things being equal, chipp are 6 points the better team. Sunday is almost a no win for them.
Batter cark and everyone shrugs their shoulders and says, ‘well, cork are shit anyway’.
Lose, and they’ll be slaughtered at home, lot of pressure on them.
If they squeak a tight game, it might do them some good.
I think they’ll win by 5+.
Ellis is injured. If he can’t play Cork are stretched very thin.
Ellis is doubtful alright. Think we are fucked without him. With him, we have a fighting chance.
