Bookies certainly agree with you, again they Tip (no pun intended) Limerick!. Tipp are 9/1 to lift Liam, which isn't a bad little bet. A lot of games have been decided by a point or 2, and a lot depends on Tipp's injuries . I wouldn't discount a few shocks, Clare didn't perform after Munster final last year, and could be tough game with Dublin. Great championship so far, pity it's over in 6 weeks.

Whatever about the extra time - and i didn't think there was any issue it while watching and Clare haven't made an issue of it - the "invasion" was just youngsters and a few not so youngsters thinking it was all over. Short of tasering them i don't see what might have been done! They left quickly too, so minor event. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3493 - 14/06/2023 19:44:56 2486519 Link 0 |

1944 ! Probably back then the goalkeeper and the ball usually ended up in the back of the net. I think the 1976 Munster Football final should be replayed again! Cork were on rough end of decisions of referee Johnny Moloney that day. Hope the players can still perform!

Whatever about Clare being robbed last Sunday , the only time a robbery definitely took place at a Munster Final was in 1977 in Thurles between Cork and Clare. Cork won the game but armed robbers made off with the gate receipts! Ryanteam (Cork) - Posts: 532 - 14/06/2023 20:18:52 2486531 Link 2 |

I watched it back last night and there were plenty of clear frees that Limerick should have got namely two very clear pushes on Tom Morrissey in the back in the first half and around the 66 min there was a free against Limerick for a jersey pull on Shane O'Donnell that never happened. The point being that the potential free at the end being missed wasn't the only contentious call. The cruel lesson it took Limerick a lifetime to learn is that you have to be good enough to deal with the decisions that go against you as they always do in every game, the challenge is being good enough to overcome them.

We can be very proud of the fact that the fans, at our games can mix together before, after and during games,without the slightest real trouble. I often see players, still in their playing gear, stay back for a considerable signing autographs for adoring young fans. Below in Cork last January, after a League game, a Cork Writer said he was amazed that more young Cork fans wanted Cian Lynch's autograph more that that of Cork players, which a lovely sporting idea.

I remember at 1984 all Ireland in Thurles, supporters ran onto field prematurely, and had to be cleared. Cork were so far ahead of Offaly in that game that it was irrelevant, just that Clare were only a point adrift in this game.The poor old Banner maybe should have played in Cork, giving Limerick home advantage was a daft idea. Spectators in Gaelic grounds are very close to pitch, and only for the foresight and benevolence of the venerable Tom Smith, this thread would never have seen the light of day!

Well said TomWex. Technically every mondern tackle in hurling and football is probably a foul. Those advocating a VAR or TMO style replay to be brought in need to be very careful what they are wishing for. For example in rugby the TMO can go back a few plays. If this happens in hurling every score will be cancelled as a technical foul will most certainly be found. Seeking_silver (Limerick) - Posts: 411 - 16/06/2023 19:14:49 2486985 Link 1 |
