Actually think Div 3 will be tough next year with Cavan/Tipp coming up & Down & Offaly relegated.

Lads be realistic
Back into division 3 and finishing in top half ?
Who would've taken that at the start of February?

Yep, think we were getting ahead of ourselves and think Louth & Limerick will struggle badly next year in Div 2 (as we would have)

Some anticlimax, great position at HT

  Goal for Limerick

The team were so good today. Never let offaly get a sniff. With the age profile I genuinely believe there could be a leinster title in these lads.

Think you have tried this WUM nonsense before, not sure what point you are trying to make

Jesus this is a very average Offaly team, expecting us to pull away in second half

So no issues then with regards to the free taking then tomorrow.

Weather to be very good.

You are totally missing the point, if someone is struggling on them then next man up. That's what teams do

Pressure will be on then whoever takes over the free taking duties, as there was some complaining last time.

Personally I'd have Neil on them all day, last day out for him wasn't the norm, Clarke has been exceptional at free taking also for the close in frees so hopefully that will resume tomorrow..

Big Nial is as mobile as you'll get in fairness so we'll miss that side of things to be fair

MR2 I think you maybe need to take a wee look back at the crunch times in the last few games, free taker should have been changed in the middle of the Waterford game and if not then definitely before the start of the Laois match. Can't afford to be throwing 4/5 points away in these games.

Niall has been a miss but Clarkey and James are a cut above IMO.

You could actually go back to the Dublin game where a few very straightforward ones were missed (we aren't having a go MR2, just stating facts) against Waterford if i remember correctly Austin Gleeson took over free taking duties from Stephen Bennett, who despite being one of the best about was having  an off day.

McManus injured for Saturday ?

No mention of him showing up on the Pandora Papers with his offshore interests

They also need money.

We have a city with 100k and the potential for massive growth with one hurling club but the Ulster Council decided that it was better to invest in Gaelfast in a city with 14 hurling clubs already. Go figure that. Our county board (Derry) would rather see hurling dead and buried. Not one coaching officer sent into the city to coach hurling from Ulster Council

Have a word with big Kevin Kelly, but in general I'd ask the question what are a lot of the hurling GDO's doing and is their time well spent!!

Too busy out taking club teams in the evening for a bit of coin

I'm not talking about Derry, Antrim in this case

It even made League Sunday! Terrible, terrible decision by thr umpire. I'd be raging if that happened to Mayo.

He we thinking about whether to have spuds or chips with his steak

I honestly think we will beat Offaly by 5+

Do we have only 1 free taker?

You would be doing well to get McManus off the frees no matter how he is going on them
