Going on me list I had in top grounds you can see I like the tight grounds. I couldnât give a bollocks really as long as I can get a good seat, facilities are a far second to a good atmosphere for me.
Bizarre comment about the GGâs surroundings. Ennis Road/Clareview/Caherdavin are very decent areas. No different to what youâd see in Ballinlough/Blackrock area around PUC.

Not many seats in Ennis. Stand holds 3,000. Views from the other three terraces are not the best

I was only there for Wexford vs Clare in the league last year mind. Got a seat in main stand, happy out. Iâd say for a Munster championship game youâd need to be there early alright.

Every fella thinks he has the prettiest wife at home
Iâm sure the Ennis Road area is nice enough place to live, but a main road lined with middle/upper class housing and no pubs doesnât make for a great atmosphere builder.

Bollox. Every fella thinks every other fellaâs wife is a princess
This explains a lot about you

Aesthetically, the walk out to the TUS Gaelic Grounds / OTnS PĂĄirc na nGael is a most pleasing one. Crossing the majestic expanse of the Shannon over Sarsfield Bridge (the Pont Neuilly II), admiring the impressive Edwardian pads clustered along the leafy stretch before Union Cross, then turning the kink in the road just past past the immaculately kept grounds of Limerick Lawn Tennis Club and cresting the hill outside the old Ryan Hotel, where one can survey the chaos of Munster Championship matchday unfolding in front of you, spilling out of the Woodfield House and across the greens around the ground itself. Iconic.
There is however a serious dearth of pubs on that side of town, and itâs exacerbated by the fact that there is no bar at the stadium.

Having lived and worked with Offaly natives I concur with your view. Sound skins. Although the fuckers are always quick to remind me of â94. 
No pubs, everyone is too busy working paying off their houses
The relegation scrap tomorrow in the Premier League will be a damp squib despite Sky attempting to hype it up. Everton will beat Bournemouth comfortably enough and the results in the Leeds and Leicester games will prove utterly irrelevant.

I recall similar words being said here ahead of the singles day of the 2012 Ryder Cup when the USA led 10-6, at home.
Iâd say the US wish they had Sean Dyche as captain back then.
Top Scorer records in Hurling/Football are lame, especially Hurling
About 35-40% of scores are coming from Placed Ball. Bit bored of commentators lauding over a player score 0-13 in a match when 0-09 are from Placed Balls etc.
When scoring rates are between 75-80% success, if youâre not a free taker, youâll never be a âtop scorerâ

âScore Sourceâ is the most stupid stat to look at:
âClare conceded 1-12 from turnovers; that is not good enoughâ. No, the stat isnât good enough. There are so many variables in a phase of play that just mentioning the source is fucking stupid and just caused dumbed down pub chat.
âLevel for the X timeâ
Who genuinely gives a fuck?
