Pat Maloughney was a very good goalkeeper but not related to Tom Maloughney. He got two All-Stars at a time when Tipp were struggling, although they did win the league in 1979.

Not directed at you all. I am referring to the whole idea of greatest player ever. It is totally subjective comparing players from different times. Teams may be because their achievements can be measured against other teams of the time.

Only a few weeks away from being all done and nothing to agree or disagree agree about for months. At inter county anyway. Hopefully the club scene will fill the void and we can keep each other up to date on what is going on in our respective counties.

I'd say over the coming month or 2 there'll be a bit of a managerial merry go round on top of club championships.

Yes Rockies , I remember seeing cars with red flags going the road through my home parish on that long ago Sunday morning and listening to the game on the radio. I remember also listening to the 1960 Final played in Thurles and Ring having a great game. Tipp won by 4.13 to 4.11

There was a lot of rivalry between Cork and Tipp back then...sometimes not in a good way... although Christy Ring seemed to enjoy it. He once remarked that " Tipperary was the only county you could hurl all out against " . He had the physique and aggression necessary to combat the Tipp full back line and was ably assisted by Paddy Barry. Cork were hammered by Tipp in '64 and '65 after he retired.Hurling is way different nowadays and hurlers are allowed hurl!

Hurling certainly a lot different back then alright!! My grandfather hurled for Limerick in the fifties. Tough as nails, hands the size of my head, kind of character. He told me during club matches before the whistle went he'd sometimes thump the man he was making in the jaw to see what kind of fella he was.. If yer man went crying to the ref, grandad would know he had him spooked. If he dropped his hurley and fought back, he knew he had a game one his hands, all before the game started. real trench warfare stuff.. You never know, might be an idea to reintroduce that so next time someone throws himself to the ground holding his face we'll know it'll be a definite red card!! skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1107 - 10/08/2021 21:37:23 2369674 Link 1 |

Yes indeed, you are right. Tipp had a fine hurler at Full Back John Kelly from Cappawhite (I think) , but neither him or Tadgh Murphy had a huge physique, and the Limerick management noted this and positioned a big man Ned Rea at Full Forward. His job description was to bury the goalie in the back of the net and thus allow the speedy corner forwards Cregan and Nolan to bury the ball in the net. At the time the Full back lines job was often to keep the forwards by any means possible and if they could not do that, the poor goalie was fair game.

Good to see ders plenty of incentive for all up and coming hurling referees,that the same man is getting his 3rd final in 5 years.. Fkd12 (Louth) - Posts: 197 - 10/08/2021 21:51:06 2369679 Link 0 |

So you have a issue with the GAA picking the best ref in the country getting the most important game,what's wrong with the best person for the job or do you rather token jobs.

Don't have issue with gaa picking the best referee,I'm only saying it's not given much incentive to the rest....it was probably known afew weeks ago he was getting the final,so why give him a semi final aswell

Some joke Limerick appealing Casey's suspension. Most blatant red card you'll see, any hurling fan with a scintilla of knowledge will realise that, amazed that the likes of Kiely, Kinnerk and Caroline Currid are allowing this circus to develop. Accept punishment, focus on his replacement and deal with Cork. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2165 - 11/08/2021 12:11:48 2369792 Link 0 |

The incentive is for them to become better referees than Horgan. Once they do that, they will get the biggest games. This is life. If I needed brain surgery, I want the top surgeon doing it. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1842 - 11/08/2021 12:38:56 2369802 Link 1 |

Has Caroline Currid re-joined the Limerick set-up?

They wouldnt have appealed unless they think they can get him off. J.P will get a top lawyer and probably take it as far as the DRA where he ll ultimately get off. It's all been figured out. Relax. Casey would be too big a loss considering his fast hands and decision making. There's only 3 city fellas on the team as it is..they can't afford to lose the cuteness of one if them

The rest aren't up to scratch, plain and simple.

He's lucky to have been allowed referee at all again after doing his best to ensure Waterford didnt reach the final last year. Its strange that once again he has done a semi final and final. There is a major issue with the number and quality of referees in hurling at the min and its a bad sign if Horgan is considered streets ahead of the rest. They're going to have to start paying them properly for games at all levels or there won't be any at all shortly. On a side note, club referees should be umpires at intercounty games. Serves three main purposes. 1. a person understanding the rules will be asked if there was a foul/square ball, etc. 2. Gives them exposure to intercounty and may encourage them to become involved at both intercounty and club. 3. Club referees are getting a sort of reward for there work. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/08/2021 13:39:08 2369837 Link 2 |

Why should Casey get off? He head butted his opponent, blatant red card. Limerick officials guilty of total hypocrisy on this. Rules only apply to them when suits. Manliness the Limerick way Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2165 - 11/08/2021 14:17:31 2369857 Link 0 |
