Hope it's a close game to maintain interest`but I think Galway will be too strong for Limerick. The much acclaimed Limerick bench could be a serious let-down. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 17/08/2018 11:39:30 2134020 Link 0 |
I would not worry about past records. Galway lost finals in '90,'93, '01, 05,'12 and '15 and it did not phase them last year. If a team is good enough on the day they will win- past history mean nothing

You are worrying unnecessarily. I haven't ever heard of this being an issue but there's an easy way around it if it is. Just make eye contact with the steward at the entrance/exit to the section and tell him you'll be back in a jiffy as you are leaving.

I'm curious, why do you think that? The much acclaimed Limerick bench had a huge impact against both Cork and Kilkenny. Galway aren't that much better than either of those teams. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1065 - 17/08/2018 13:41:01 2134054 Link 0 |
The username is appropriate in his/her case.

So Shane Dowling won't start, but when do people feel he will be brought on? I think, if Limerick are in trouble after 20 minutes he will be on. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1737 - 17/08/2018 15:03:58 2134072 Link 0 |
Ah so it's more a tipp dislike you have than a referee thing....I understand now

Don't think he will start either. At latest, I would bring him on after 40 mins. He's one of the best strikers of a ball in either panel. I'm slightly worried for limerick that their half forward line won't have as big an impact as they have had most of the year and could suffer for it if they don't. If limerick are to win then that line needs to play well. It'll be fascinating at the other end of the pitch with any of the limerick backs and probably at least 5 of the Galway forwards one decent performance from all stars. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 17/08/2018 19:37:05 2134129 Link 0 |
No, I like Tipp. I think it was the hooped shirt, when I was a kid. Didn't see much of ye either of course, with the famine and all, 'til we started beating ye in the late 80s. Ref bet us in the 2001 final too of course, so Cummins is lucky to have 2, let alone a back to back.

Galway have looked like a team running on empty for large parts of the season whereas on the other hand Limerick seem to be coming in with a lot of energy.....but I still think Galway will have one last kick in them this year to come out on top.

I think the 2 weeks off will do Galway the world of good. I agree with you on the score. 2 or 3 point Galway win.

Tip all year you were saying Galway would win All Ireland. What has changed? For me Galway have the players and the experience so even though I think there is only a puck of a ball between teams now. I just have a feeling that Galway will put on an unbeatable performance to tomorrow.

Are Galway hurlers the most hard done by county by referee's ? catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 18/08/2018 15:52:09 2134253 Link 0 |
If both teams play up to max then Galway will win with 3/4 points to spare.. If Galway arent on their top game Limerick can do it and I wouldnt begrudge them a bit after a long wait and especially that near miss in 94, No more than Waterford last year but Waterford just couldnt take the chance when they edged ahead in second half. conordee (Galway) - Posts: 440 - 18/08/2018 16:31:50 2134262 Link 0 |
Not really but there's probably enough material for a Masters study on the psyche of a section of our support stretching back to the time of the Keady affair and before.
