Quote from: Truthsayer on Today at 07:38:04 PMThat goal might ignite Derrys championship, other than that a shambles again against a very limited Westmeath team.

In fairness, Westmeath are decent. Probably between Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup.

They are well set up. O'Toole is a good player.

O'Toole is class. They need more from Heslin and Loughlin.

How did Faloon miss that incident with Glass and Westmeath full back? Should have been black card.

A good chance for Derry to build up their confidence for next week game.

Quote from: imtommygunn on June 09, 2024, 05:56:02 PMLimerick are just miles above everyone really. It is going to get boring.

Even the new boys coming in are far better than most of the best of the rest.

Maybe, but Clare flatter to deceive greatly. Definitely behind Cork and Kilkenny in the pecking order and Wexford could stretch them in their next outing also. Never got the hype about them too much, a good number of ordinary players on the team, starting with no. 1.

I wouldn't say they are ordinary, they are playing against one of the all time great teams and are quite probably their toughest opponents over the past number of years, not so much today I grant you.

Quote from: Blowitupref on June 09, 2024, 06:25:23 PMLimerick team that won Munster in 2019. (1st of their six in a row)

N Quaid;
S Finn, M Casey, R English;
D Byrnes, D Hannon, D Morrissey;
C Lynch, W O'Donoghue
G Hegarty, K Hayes, T Morrissey;
A Gillane, G Mulcahy, P Casey

Subs brought on S Dowling, D O'Donovan, S Flanagan, B Nash, D Reidy


Team that started today

Nickie Quaid;
Mike Casey, Dan Morrissey, Barry Nash;
Diarmaid Byrnes, Declan Hannon, Kyle Hayes;
Will O'Donoghue, Cathal O'Neill;
GearĂ³id Hegarty, David Reidy, Tom Morrissey;
Aaron Gillane, Shane O'Brien, Cian Lynch.

That's incredible consistency. Only Dowling and I think English no longer involved.


English still on panel. Had a couple bad injuries over the years.

The hurling has become very predictable. Kilkenny won 5th Leinster in a row and Limerick on course for 6 in a row in Munster.

Limerick should win easy enough today. Will be another Limerick Kilkenny AI final unless Cork come up with something in semi final.

Kerry backs/midfielders contributing 7 points.

Quote from: Itchy on May 31, 2024, 06:30:58 PMRoscommon have every chance of beating Mayo. Dublin and Cavan likely to be a very ugly score for us. Too many injuries to important players for Cavan and no depth in the squad.

Roscommon haven't a hope today. Only won 2/14 championship/league games since victory against Mayo last year. Burke backroom team not as strong as last year with Mark McHugh and Gerry McGowan gone. Burke probably be gone in a few weeks?

Rossies won't want to get beaten three times in one season.

Rossies haven't beaten Mayo in championship game in Hyde Park since 2001.

Quote from: Gael85 on May 24, 2024, 08:59:48 PMDid O'Rourke call up any of the u20s? That wing back Armstrong is excellent.
just ohalloran. But he was already involved should have called up the lads who can actually kick a free from beyond the 20 line. Should this go badly Colm will be gone at years end. It's been a very difficult couple of years even though he has some of the best players available to him over last 10 years.

I see Tyrone called up 5 players from their u20 team.

Quote from: Shamrock Shore on May 20, 2024, 09:44:35 PMIt's great, isn't it?

Gerry Seavers from Dublin involved in Longford backroom team. Is he in Paddy Christie senior set up?

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 20, 2024, 09:38:45 PMThought the Longford subs made a big difference in the game.

Cian O'Donnell had a big impact when re-introduced kicking two big points.
