" but typical , when one or two go astray , call for the head." Well said! Any game plyed at the speed and intensity of hurling will have a percentage of missed targets. By the same logi cthat says a msdirected puck out is unforgivable and possible grounds for dismissal , likewise anyone who hits the ball wide from 20-100 yards distance also does not not deserve to be on the panel . Think about about it. Henry Sheffliin and Eoin Kelly, Joe Canning ,Shane Dowling, Gary Kirby would all have to be bypassed for inaccuracy. "Barkeep, another Magnier's please. " As for full back.. I am in full support of whoever our great manager givee # 3 jersey to/ Come On Ye Boys in Green ( Hope all (ncluding Gilane and Nicky and Hickey, are enjoying all enjoying a well deserved break in the action while studying Cork's form on Sunday.

It is based on every game back to the Clare match last year in the championship and all this years games and I have been to them all. I just feel mistakes are creeping into his game and as a goalkeeper is such a specialized position maybe he should go back into goal's for his club. I feel Hennessey should get a run as he is solid and I feel Quaid is going to cost us in a big game. skule111 (Limerick) - Posts: 119 - 26/05/2018 13:49:16 2103971 Link 0 |

I am not putting the man down, I am just saying what I feel and it's only my opinion but I do feel he is not playing well, if you go back to the Clare match last year you could see that in flight he should have came for the ball and didn't and now he is down on his knees at nearly every goal that has been scored this year. We have a very good team this year but I see him as a problem waiting to happen.

Just check how many times he says "I" in his posts. Tells a lot. Westfester (Limerick) - Posts: 980 - 26/05/2018 19:36:36 2104012 Link 0 |

Westfester you let yourself down when you criticise posters and not the posts. You actually make some good points. Play the ball and not the man please. PeggyShippen (Limerick) - Posts: 300 - 27/05/2018 08:47:17 2104069 Link 0 |

Regarding Quaids puck outs, I watched the match back during the week and counted 12 of his puck outs in the first half (could have taken 15 or 16 in total. Of those 12, Limerick won 12, Tipp won one and one went out over the sideline. That's exceptionally good. Puck outs have been excellent all year pj_mcmanus (Limerick) - Posts: 431 - 27/05/2018 09:22:40 2104073 Link 0 |

Couldn't agree more. Mind you 3 puck outs over the side line is far too many

Good observation , pj.mc ..... thanks for sharing. Blv I saw similar comment by JK after game re puckouts... Again , when in doubt , why not go with manager's choice. It was served us well so far, an observation we could not make in quite a while. Come On Ye Boys ... PatOLogical (Limerick) - Posts: 1377 - 27/05/2018 11:29:50 2104105 Link 1 |

Peggy that is a load of rubbish. If a poster slates a player who is doing his best for that green Jersey then the poster should be fair game as well. We have too many so called supporters who know little or nothing about the game. I include you in that bracket.

Standing Bear that's a post that I would call egotistical. Your letting yourself down criticising posters so called 'inferior' knowledge.Who made you the all seeing Oracle ? Some of your opinions are hilariously inaccurate. No one has critiqued you personally until now and I'm doing it because you chose to 'play the Man'. No one's slating any Limerick player. Quaids puck outs need lots of work and he should feel under pressure. He's a good goalie and it's good for him to be pushed onto higher things. I think he is the best man for goals and has better restarts well within his range of capabilities. PeggyShippen (Limerick) - Posts: 300 - 27/05/2018 12:39:48 2104112 Link 1 |

But the stats are stating that his puck outs have been good. In the league semi final, he pinged a lot of puck outs to the half forwards running deep to midfield. Tipp closed that out on Sunday so he generally went longer hitting the wing forward position. Our half forwards had sucked the Tipp half backs into the middle and the forwards were able to run onto them. A few he probably over hit alright and they went out over the line as the forwards couldn't get onto them quickly enough. He was able to launch a few high ones also on top of their half backs and now we have forwards who can really compete in the air, especially the likes of Hegarty and Gillane. All these little factors are major reasons why we're getting so much possession in the forwards and creating so many scoring chances, as despite hitting a few too many wides, we are still putting up big scores. Overall, I'd be very happy with Quaid pj_mcmanus (Limerick) - Posts: 431 - 27/05/2018 12:59:34 2104119 Link 1 |

Good to see that someone looked at the facts. Yes a few over the line. A few posters on here have a vendetta against Nicky Quaid. A few of you slated his puckouts in the league game against Tipp where he had a very high percentage accuracy. However, it was the two poor puckouts that a you remember. So you Hurlers on the ditch I urge you look at the full facts and not the little bits you remember from the Sunday game.

Maybe guys we should come back to hurling. Think today showed the real Cork i.e. they will play if you let them. Overall we are a better team than Cork. We need to play our half back midfield and half forward lines deep to deny them space we can then create 30 or 40 yards of space for Gillane Flanagan and Mul to run in to. If we do this and also push up on their puck outs forcing them to go long to our half back line then we will beat them by 5 points or more. My only concerns are our ability to mark Fitzgibbon at midfield and Harnedy on Morrissey. If we allow Cork to dictate these match ups then we could struggle but if we make switches on time if needed then we have the players to win in Cork. welpastit (Limerick) - Posts: 740 - 27/05/2018 18:13:59 2104227 Link 0 |

Two poor results for Limerick today.Yes it is still in our hands but Cork will know A VICTORY next week will put them into Munster final.I think Waterford will now be one one of the teams gone in june so battle on to avoid joining them.I would worry about Corks pace in midfield and their ability to draw ouy our half back line could expose our serious lack of pace all through our team.Can we deny them possesion like Tipp did in second half.I'm not sure.. flyinghigh (Kerry) - Posts: 213 - 27/05/2018 18:34:14 2104236 Link 0 |

Our faith is firmly in our own hands. Beat Cork next Saturday and we are well in our way. Can we deny them possession, yes I think we can. Tipp just reinforced what we already know if you stand off Cork they will destroy you but if you get in their faces you can upset them. We should be fresher than them and will need to bring a massive intensity to beat them but we can do it. Let's stay grounded but positive.

I think the fixtures have fallen brilliantly for us...Cork have 6 days to recover from a tough gane we have had two weeks, if we beat them next weekend it will be massive considering home advantage so far has proven crucial. We also have an extra day recovery over Waterford the follwoing week. Roll on Saturday im confident noexpert (Limerick) - Posts: 91 - 27/05/2018 22:42:16 2104421 Link 1 |
