Give those Limerick cunts nothing, tip up the road there to O Moore Park.

403

Strange choice after the trimming they got from Tipp the last time they played them there

404

No point going to Semple, PUC is a sandpit, Ennis is, well you know, it was either there or Killarney I guess?

Jesus we must have cut them a good deal. The Blaas loves travelling up the N24.

407

Thurles was the obvious choice, they hurl well there & at least have some regard for your supporters.

Waterford to Limerick is worse than Waterford to Killarney trip wise.

408

What about playing it in Kilkenny?

409

Munster Council wouldnā€™t allow it.

410

I would have thought Derek could have integrated tactical sand-castle embankments into their defensive structure if it went to PuiC

411

Theyā€™ve a football match fixed for that date.

412

This McGrath gowl will be ran from that job before the Summer is out.

413

Sand or no sand, it canā€™t be played in PUC that Sunday because the Cork City Marathon is on.

414

Yes, thatā€™s why Cork - Limerick is on the previous evening at 7pm.

WD-Cork game fixed for Thurles as expected.

Edit: A right dose for Waterford actually, Iā€™d forgotten they have to go to Ennis as well. Three journeys up the N24 in a row.

416

Itā€™s actually a dose for Derek. He was just finalizing his We will fight them on the beaches speech.

Daft. Why not just play it in Thurles?

418

Do they want to play at GG seeing they are playing Lk there as well ???

419

I doubt it, but even if thatā€™s their thinking, itā€™s not a great reason to put an extra 2 hours driving on their supporters.

Fear of Tipp is the real reason Iā€™d say. GG is tighter pitch than Thurles which in theory should help against Tipp, but as Raylan says it didnā€™t do them much good last time.

Weak minded stuff for a team used to big days in Croke Park.

Was it definitely a Waterford decision? News reports just mention a Munster council statement.

421

Pretty sure it would be a Munster council call. With Cork Marathon on then the options were Limerick or Killarney. They were never going to play it in Thurles as it would be seen to be giving Tipp three home games and for optics if was always going to be a neutral venue.

Would be much better in a full Nowlan Park but that was never going to be a flyer.
