Great to see a team face the ghosts of 94' by conceding two late goals, but still having the guts to get the scores to get them over the line. Daith (Kildare) - Posts: 1171 - 20/08/2018 08:55:23 2134621 Link 0 |
What a win. Absolutely fantastic and the fact that they won such a high quality championship gives it more currency. Congratulations Limerick and hard luck Galway, you'll be back next year. Lining up to be some competition next year. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 20/08/2018 09:00:45 2134624 Link 1 |

I feel the Galway players pain , we were second to everything yesterday and it will go down to a bad day at the office. when the dust settles management and players need to analyse what went wrong why were we so flat ? heartbroken (Galway) - Posts: 370 - 20/08/2018 12:29:42 2134702 Link 0 |

Again, the tongue in cheek nature of my post is clearly lost on you, I didn't see the game intact, so can't comment really other than to congratulate the winners Limerick

Sorry to be negative about Limerick's win- but 19th August 2018 will go down in Galway hurling history as a black black day. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2520 - 20/08/2018 15:07:01 2134847 Link 0 |
It should to be honest. Opportunities to add to the Roll of Honour against a non 'Big Three' county don't come around all that often for Galway. They've had 2 in a row of these finals now and really could've taken advantage yesterday I think. I don't think Limerick's level of performance should have been good enough to win an All-Ireland Final but it was. Galway really imploded yesterday, a total breakdown in performance in my opinion.

And so it continues.Galway's shocking record in All-Ireland senior hurling finals.On average,they win only one out of every five they contest.Five titles.Twenty senior Final losses.Galway were very poor yesterday and still only lost by a point.They need a few new players.A goalkeeper,a mobile,fast and atlhletic centre back and a couple of forwards who don't keep hitting wides.They started yesterday 14 of the 15 players who started the 2017 Final.I think winning teams need to introduce a couple of new players each year to freshen things up.Well done Limerick but Cork and in particular Clare must have had big regrets watching yesterday's Final.

Of course it will. The same as Limerick had black days in 74 80 94 96 and 07. Anytime you lose an All Ireland Final is that. Both Limerick and Galway know that Limerick were 10 points the better team on the day. The Limerick wide count was unacceptable whereas Galway wides mostly came from intense defensive pressure on the strike. Galway will stew over this defeat for the winter and their reaction to it will determine if they are the great team that they promised to be.

Galway already have a mobile, fast, athletic centre-back in 2017 all star no6 Gearóid McInerney. Just 'recovered' from a calf injury suffered 3 weeks ago, he didn't enhance his reputation yesterday.

McInerney was very poor yesterday but probably shouldn't have been started by Management.Felt he was overrated in 2017.He's big and powerful but lacks the pace and mobility for a modern number 6.Do you agree Pope with the rest of my post.Under the new system,it's going to be hard to reach an All-Ireland hurling final.More games and more risk of injury and suspensions.Galway basically blew a huge chance yesterday against an inexperienced Limeruck team who had never been there before and it may be some time before the Tribesmen get as good a chance again.

I read your post on the Galway forum where you were elaborated a bit on it being such a black, black day.... whining that Galway shouldn't lose to Limerick as...... we're a 'non GAA County !!!! Please, help me out here. How are we non GAA? Is it somehow an insult to lose to us? We've more senior All irelands than you. Does that help your angst a bit. I'm at the homecoming in the Gaelic grounds right now. Team not due for hours but 1000s here already.plenty here for a non GAA County.. Bit of dignity in defeat wouldn't be a bad idea. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1066 - 20/08/2018 17:22:00 2134926 Link 1 |
Agree, if Wexford ever get up those steps in my lifetime (don't remember 1996) I won't be seen on here for a fortnight!

Maybe you need to get your "sense of humour " checked out because nobody got the joke. Just looked like a cheap way of getting Dublin mentioned in something that has nothing to do with them. Sounded a bit desperate but since I stick in a >>>>:) you won't have a problem with me saying that.
