Definitely. Anyone else here find that the current format and 5 huge championship games in 7 weeks takes a lot out of ye? Fairly tiring, probably a lot to do with getting older. Imagine how the players and management must feel? The 4 week break may be welcome! slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 15/06/2023 13:15:19 2486651 Link 0 |

He grabbed the lad by the leg and basically dumped (too strong a word but cant think of anything else!) him to the ground. You dont get booked for nothing. Ref didnt just make up an incident - even if it was harmless stuff

I'd suggest that Barry Nash could go to 6 in a few years with Kyle going to full back. That's not going to happen in the next few years but both Dan and Declan are ageing. The hardest positions to fill are your central defensive spine

Wasn't it 5 in 8 weeks?

4 mins means at least 4 mins, ref is entitled to play on further if he wants and add in possible stoppages during injury time too."]There was no stoppages in injury time."]Yes, there were no stoppages and no substitutions during injury time so final should have been blowing on that puck out. The problem with refs is that generally they will try and make a draw out of a games in injury time(ironically not the case last Sunday) but how many times have we seen close games blow exactly on time if the game is a draw but additional time is played to give team down by a score a chance to level. This leads to alot of subjective opinion from refs when this should be taken out of their hands. Maybe GAA could learn from other sports on this i.e hooter goes off after end of extra time and next time the ball goes out of play time is up. Any time wasting during injury time is penalised with a throw in e.g taking longer that 10 secs on free\sideline\puck out.

But tiobraid put it into context, 1 Clare defender tried to haul him down, the 2nd Clare defender jumped on his back basically before he was knocked down and then got a knee to the head from a third defender. If it was correct to book Hegarty for his actions then it would have been correct to book a few Clare defender's for their actions but Limerick fans and Hegarty himself know he's not going to get any fair play from refs.

Hayes to full back would be a wild move...

Yea, He defo didnt dive either and make an absolute meal out of it. The 2 medical staff were really required too. What goes around comes around as we seen at the end .

Ye are both sort of correct. 5 in 8 weekends . But 5 in 7 weeks and 1 day. But to say 5 in 7 weeks sort of gives an impression that there was only 2 weekends without a game, when in actual fact there was three. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 955 - 15/06/2023 16:23:44 2486720 Link 0 |

Would finally put an end to all the discrepancy at the end of games once and for all.

Best of luck to Declan on his recovery..his leadership will be badly missed.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2380 - 19/06/2023 11:44:44 2487216 Link 1 |

Ya huge loss. Loads of options but again another huge hole to fill in the defense. The positive is they have the 4 week window to work it out and plan accordingly. Better than him going off after 10 minutes. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 19/06/2023 12:29:47 2487261 Link 0 |

Between Cian Lynch, Sean Finn & Now Declan Hannon Limerick are certainly having a string of injuries of key players which is making life tougher for John Kiely & Co. OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 718 - 19/06/2023 13:47:25 2487331 Link 0 |

Openstsnd I'd be worried now about strength of bench for backs.take it English or Coughlan will be the replacement coming in..it leaves the door open for some one else on panel to come into the 26.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2380 - 19/06/2023 14:26:08 2487356 Link 1 |

You described it exactly but in fairness the reaction to it was embellishment at its worst. To me it is very very simple. Two yellows one for the foul and the other for unsportsmanlike like conduct. If it is not on the books add it and I am not singling out a Clare player for this. I see it with all teams including mine. In fairness to Bennett when Flanagan unintentionally hit him in the head he got up and put his helmet back on. Also with the Breen incident that we will agree to differ on he did not roll around on the ground holding his leg because if he did red would have happened. Other Waterford players have done embellishment.

David Reidy did a little more than stepping up in the Munster Final, he played a starring role and was second only to Aaron Gillane who was man of the match. David Reidy scored 3 pts and set up 1-5.

I thought Flanagan's hit to Bennett's head was intentional and merited a red card. It was a head high challenge with elbow to head, much like Ronan Maher's challenge on Darragh Fitzgibbon. Both fouls are on YouTube! Players are getting away with it, so will continue do do it .

You forgot to mention your own county man in the u20 final. Selective memory is very comforting !!

Yes, he should have been sent off too. Wasn't the whole country up in arms about it? Shane Kingston, the name will cause difficulties in future as most likely both will be on senior team.
