I've written about those Toronto Skydome games myself on a separate thread over in the Wexford forum (hurling and football games were played there in both 1990 & 91). Think it shows you can play something more like 'proper' hurling in a baseball stadium, and that a crowd will turn up if you market it properly. This made-up Super 11s game is just muck.

I obviously touched a nerve there! Watching from the outside it appears Limerick have made huge efforts to convince the country they don't celebrate to excess. That may have contributed to the players going mad on occasion. And no harm once some clowns keep the phone in the pocket. This will niggle badly at Kiely who is also very touchy when Limerick's style of play is ever mentioned. This is a big year for Limerick- they have been telling everyone they're the coming team-remains to be seen. Teams appear to have figured them out a bit. lowballplease (Galway) - Posts: 935 - 20/11/2019 11:25:12 2250472 Link 0 |
Tbh. You're probably right in a lot of what you wrote there. The team needs to evolve and progress. The thinking all along was that they would be hitting peak around 2020,2021 The next year will tell a lot about where we're at. It would be an awful shame if we can't be challenging for all irelands over the next few years. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1054 - 20/11/2019 11:50:57 2250480 Link 0 |

Most Galway supporters id say 99.9 % did nt begrudge Limerick their win in 2018 You will always get a few windups on these forums you should see what they say on their own county forum gboy (Galway) - Posts: 25 - 20/11/2019 23:20:11 2250600 Link 0 |
Are people upset with the lad who recorded it just because it made it possible to get into the public domain or by recording it he was in fact part of it and condoned it? If he didn't record it and just watched, would he have been sent home?

I hear more than one Limerick player was sent home. Any truth in the fact that another certain player put fire to a blue and gold jersey and Kiely got wind of it and sent the player home as well. Good few Limerick lads I know have mentioned it past few days. Could only be rumour but it's spreading like wild fire... Pardon the pun.

Player didn't go on the trip to New York. Yes it is correct this seems to be all I'm able to say as mods has blocked my last three messages. The act that you mentioned happened after a football County final but the video of the incident has only come out last week.

Thanks gboy. Great to see somebody a bit of common sense into proceedings.

If I believed all the rumours I heard about Tipp players over the years I could write a small book on them.

The figuring out thing is hardly proven. While they lost to KK by a point, they also beat Clare, Tipp and Waterford by an average of sixteen points in Munster and also easily won the League. However I do feel the culprits involved here should not be treated with kit gloves. However, there might be a silver lining to this cloud in that it might, at last, bring every panel member to their senses. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4285 - 21/11/2019 15:00:02 2250698 Link 1 |
Have seen the video old tour man and not the New York one.

Yeah, it's true. We won't see him hurl for Limerick again under Kiely. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1054 - 21/11/2019 15:26:21 2250706 Link 0 |
Disgraceful behaviour and likewise with what happened in NY. But I'd expect nothing less from "them".

That's mild compare to what I've just being sent. Another incident from outside a well know Limerick night club. This lad may be in big trouble.

He will be in big trouble and rightly so. Appalling behaviour out of some of the panel recently. It's very sad and causes genuine upset. Apart from the likes of the WUM above you who'll wallow in it with their irrational hate of Limerick, this should be recognised for what it is. Destructive behaviour that could possibly ruin lives.... skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1054 - 21/11/2019 17:09:34 2250725 Link 0 |
Was it a Patrickswell jersey ? Maybe he was upset about the performance against Ballygunner

How do you think John Kiely will deal with this ? I know when one of own in Tipp was dropped in 2017 some people said it cost us the all Ireland that year. Jackie Tyrell reckoned if that player was not missing Tipp May have won the All Ireland. Can you see JK going down that road and if not could it all come back to bite him later in the year.
