Big bonus for tipp but he and Mcgrath are in ways inconsistent and kelly should give Callinan plenty of it.

A bit like limerick dublin let themselves down in final now they have a chance to redeem themselves. Have nothing against tipp. Their fans for the most part are sound (few thurles blues there alright) but basically sound. Its just that I have backed against them Clare and KK so wouldnt mind having one less to worry about.

Cuederocket sure you are another one of the it can only be between KK and Clare brigade. Didnt u say tipp would beat lk by 6 or 8 and that P Maher was a better no 3 than Richie??? U on thin ice to be having a go dont u think?

You had a go at me when I said Clare werent in top 6 and I will tell you now if kk win it this year it will be the worst kk team that has won it in 15 years. I fancy Cork and Limerick to give them a good run for it.

Df I wouldnt mind seen the worst Tipp team in history winning the all Ireland and im sure when KK win it this year they won't mind if it was the worst or best team ever to win it. Tipp, Limerick, Waterford or Wexford don't have a hope of winning the all Ireland this year, nobody will live with the intensity of KK once they get near Croker IMO if Dublin get there act together and over come Cork in semi and get the work rate back that they had last year they might upset them.

The realthmo
What planet are you on
Kk have beaten no one yet. They beat Galway by 7
Offaly by 26
We beat Galway by 9
Offaly by 17
Cats inside back line is their Achilles heel so I feel if Tipp meet them again which will probably be in the semi that it will be another 2010

My point realtmo is i think they are fading. They have in my view held on to the old guard for one year too long. We did enough last sunday to show we can certainly take Cork (watch Loughnane and Sheedy on Sunday Game cos I know u wont take my word for it) Id be worried that tipp who I rate higher than Dublin at minute and dublin will underperform if they face kk. Id worry we might do the same but I think 2 games in 2 weeks should help us. we were v rusty and completely match unfit last sunday and lost by 2 goals one of whihc shoulda been a free out.

Our big rpob is on the line Im hoping they come on a bit but for now Id say KK Cork and Lk in that order. I thin tipp will beat Dublin and waterford will beat wexford.

Df you do know the Sunday game boys are not aloud to be negative against any team it's in there contract like when did they ever speak what was on there mind and cut a team to piece, never. Cork were miles better than Limerick on Sunday please please stop with the excuses ladt year was free taker v Clare its this simple Cork were by far the better team 6 points and if Cork kept the foot down near the end it could of being 10 points. Df I am sorry to say anyone on that side with KK dont have a hope, if Limerick were playing KK last Sunday I really believe they would of won by maybe 15 points.
Its KK Cork and then Dublin/Tipp because of draw Limerick/Wexford/Waterford that's the way I see it for the all Ireland and so do bookies not that they will puck a ball but they are never that far off.

Yes df i predicted Tipp to beat Limerick.So what?Its a perilous game this predicting lark but all you can do is call it as you see it.Ive predicted Kilkenny all year so wont change now but ive said it numerous times that all the top teams can beat each other on any given day.I said Pauraic Maher was a better hurler than R McCarthy and i stand over that.And i also stand over saying that only a foolish person would write off Kilkenny.

Cats inside back line is their achilles heel?HA yea its brutal alrite.The best corner back in the game in Paul Murphy,the greatest defender ive ever seen in JJ Delaney and a man mountain lord of the skies Jackie Tyrell in the other corner.God help us if thats Kilkennys achilles heel.

definitely not getting ahead of ourselves in wexford, but what happens if it's each of the potential combinations from the quarter finals who make the semi finals, who plays who:
1. limerick tipperary
2. limerick dublin
3. wexford tipperary
4. wexford dublin
5. waterford tipp
6. waterford dublin

is it open draw for semi finals or are repeat pairings still avoided?

Realmo i think thats a bit harsh on Limerick.I felt if a couple of things went their way last Sunday they would have had Cork in serious bother.Although i fancy Kilkenny to win the All Ireland i feel Limerick will give Kilkenny(i think Limerick will beat Waterford/Wexford) a serious challenge.Their is definately a big game or two in Limerick.

Just watch it realtmo just watch it.

We gave tipp a goal that was over carried had a goal disallowed, had a totally rookie management team and beat ye on yere own pitch and you put us with Wexford and Waterford????? You wouldnt be trying to rise me now would ya?

By the way I would say Cork were better on sunday and KK would also beat us last sunday but again if i can paraphrase Loughnane limerick had one game Cork had 3 games lk will come on greatly and dont forget we have another one sunday week. Ive been more right than wrong this year so I dont get this dismissive tone cos u cannot say the same can you? Clare tipp munster final was it with clare winning AI was it?

Perfect10 the only way it will go to draw is if Wexford and Tipp both win 1/4 finals other than that each pairings will be kept apart as one or more have already played each other

Realtmo
If we are playing KK I hope we wont be destroyed by them as much as ye were in 2012 anyway

Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4338 - 15/07/2014 21:01:16    1619976

Ah will people stop with the ifs and buts Df ye didnt score such a goal and take away this and that and we would or could of won that game. Rubbish. These things happen in games clutching at straws is what that is called. Limerick had there chance and were not good enough the same way Limerick beat Tipp. Yes I would put Tipp and Dublin ahead of Limerick for all Ireland because of the draw like I explained. KK are miles ahead of everyone why cant people see this they are in a semi playing in second gear and when they raise the intensity they will brush teams aside.

Ya oldtourman I hope it won't be a repeat of 2007

Cuederocket Im not trying to make a point (genuinely cos u seem one of the soundest on here) but the whole of tipp now seem to agree that moving maher from 3 was winning of Galway game. V few posters on their site would play him at 3 for dublin game. He is not an inter county no. 3 trust me he is well off the pace and he is certainly nowhere near Richie Mac as a 3
