The Viking came home on his shield, at least.

Are they doing the leaving cert pal? Intelligent chaps probably doing applied maths or something.

Looking at this from a Limerick perspective all our teams need to play with Westmeath’s intensity .

35 minutes effort and then absolutely nothing?

That was a decent tussle. Westmeath started to gas after 40 mins but there was nothing in it before that. Mitchell and Doyle in the half-forward line and Steve Earle in goal were impressive.

They never stopped working but gassed in last 15 .

That’s probably it alright. Forgot the Leaving Cert was still going on and St Peter’s target some of the shitty subjects that are at the back end of the exam schedule.

If we got 35 mins we’d bate anyone :wink:

My Motm was Andy Fordham

Eddie Brennan surely deserves a new 2 year contract for pulling out a result against all the odds at Fortress Mullingar?

I thought at half time by the look of him, we’d have another entrant to the hair transplant thread next week

To be fair to Eddie Brennan this crop doesn’t look great .

Also I really enjoyed tonight’s game .

They won an All-Ireland at minor level three years ago and a good lot of them are on the senior panel. Now I know having lads on a senior panel can disrupt preparations but Brennan hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’s a competent coach.

They were average enough 3 years ago when they won what was to be honest a poor enough minor championship . Limerick were utterly awful in that final . The 2013 championship was a higher standard by far .

I agree with you on Brennan but my point stands .

We overhyped ourselves after destroying a poor Galway side,Kilkenny at all levels know how to get the job done in a final.

Not great on the sideline that day either .

Even still, we should have won. We had a better team than them.

But they still had some very good players, I don’t know if the 2013 Championship was actually stronger. I’m convinced that we had a better team in 2014 (even without English, O’Donovn & Dempsey) and Kilkenny were definitely stronger in 2014 too. Waterford were worse, but we beat them in 2013 too.

That’s putting it mildly.

Limerick fucked that final away.
