Mcnaughtons 8/9 steps before the goal didn't get pulled either. As well as Antrim played, and I think they played better against us than Dublin did, the referee did have an influence, same as in the Dublin game. Dublin took a puckout for one of the goals before the referee blew the whistle to restart play. The play should have been blown up and the puckout retaken. Instead the referee allowed the Dublin goal to stand. Small margins. We could be coming into this game on 4 points instead of one.

Of course you like the "Wexford style of hurling." They haven't beaten Galway in championship since God was a boy.

I agree with you on those points but from where I was standing we were lucky Chin wasn't blown for steps for his goal before half time too. If we can hurl for the 70 mins im expecting it to go right down to the wire on Saturday and we have to cut out the stupid mistakes if we are to win

But definitely you are right Barney we need to start beating the Antrims, Dublins, Galways, and Westmeaths of this world if we are going to progress. Draws and near misses aren't any good at the end of the day. Apart from the covid year in 2020 we have only lost 1 championship game by more than 4 points in 70 minutes since 2018, that was last year in Salthill when we were missing Chin, Reck etc and we lost by 6. We need to start converting narrow losses, and draws which we seem to specialise in since then, into victories.

Chin took 5. I counted them. Too many also.

Well if I wanted to whinge I could do it about 19, but that would be mad like all the other whinging.

Why are all these non-Galway posters spoofing here, on the Galway thread, about their own counties? A bit of manners wouldn't go astray! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1844 - 02/05/2024 13:03:05 2542452 Link 1 |

Just trying to provoke my old chum Katser :-) I doubt I will have much to slag him about regarding ourselves this year. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2651 - 02/05/2024 13:20:05 2542455 Link 1 |

If we only beat Galway and Kilkenny in any given year we still won't get out of Leinster.

Truthfully it's one of the busier spots for debate. We're playing this weekend so normal to check in for discussion. I didn't realize there was a bouncer on the door. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2747 - 02/05/2024 14:25:50 2542474 Link 4 |

It's hardly canonising him to say that he gave us the kind of fair shake we don't tend to get when Owens is on the whistle. It's not that we can't win matches with Owens but we seem to have to be 10 points better to win by 1. Of course we weren't happy with him in Wexford Park but there's no proof that he wouldn't do the same to anyone else either. Stool Pigeon (Galway) - Posts: 857 - 02/05/2024 14:51:07 2542482 Link 1 |

This thing about Owens is all a cod. SOD of Cork was giving out in the Paper recently about Gullanes Penalty, that he conceded last year, when Owens was also Ref as if it won the match. For the first 31 Minutes of that game Owens never gave Limerick a single free inside Midfield, despite it being quite clear that Cahallane and Himself were dragging out of Flanagan and Gullane all day. On the basis of one incident, which was debatable anyway SOD, not to mention several other Cork people have got it into their heads that James Owens is against them. Below in the De Park in '18 SOD and Gullane had a tangle, Gulland was put off and SOD was, luckily for him, just yellow carded. A few minutes later he high tackled Cian Lynch around the neck, as he was clear through on goal. It was on its own a Red Card incident all day long. Owens clearly went to his pocket for a card, but drew back when he realised who he had. Yet again some Cork People felt they were hard done that day. Blaming Referees, as somebody said, is like criticizing your Partner to your MIL. She might listen, but twill get you nowhere. You must also objectively objectively view the whole and then judge how it is refeed.

Allan Kelly and his Officials in the AISF against KK. We could give about these men all day, but the fact is that game was lost by our own Management and the fact that we hit 22 wides. It would have been easy to blame the Officials and some Limerick People, but it was a load of nonsense to do so.

You weren't too slow to turn up on the Limerick Thread Yourself, so don't go round pontificating-although sorry that is probably the Resident Pontiff's job- about good manners.,
