Yes. Huge congrats to Waterford, they're a joy to watch when in full flight. Its amazing what can be achieved when you put top class players into positions where they've already proven they can excel in.

Canuck congrats on a great win yesterday..the shackles were left off and ye produced the best performance in a long time.if you check I did mention Waterford coming out of Munster.they have nearly everyone available again and are super hurlers.de burca,Barron and Hutchinson are as good as anyone in the country..are hogan and Shane Bennett far off coming back?for cork some serious questions,cahalane stupidly sent off and the three elder players in forwards taken off..if cork lose to Clare or vice versa it's going to be all uphill..the Munster championship always throws up the unexpected and yesterday was another of them..roll on next weekend..

Thank you CTGAA10. We don't get many glory days and won't get carried away. There has been many wasted days for this bunch of good players as they are in the final stretch. Waterford hurling is flamboyant and always will. Ending up in big defeats at times but no other way. There was a lot of talk about the strength off the bench of Cork but it was Fagan, a very underrated Patrick Curran and young Fitzgerald who nailed this one down. Not sure what Shane Bennett had the operation for but Hogan is probable ready.There will be skin and hair flying in Cork on Sunday and I believe Limerick will have those dents and scratches fixed.

Thank you bloodandbandages. I always admire the way Cork carry themselves over the many many years. No begrudging from supporters or team, once the final whistle goes. It will be a hectic game on Sunday in Cork. I think Clare are probable more wounded than Cork in the manner they lost. However they will fight like they always do. Not too sure what their substitutes were about when I look back at that game. Did they think they were in the home stretch ? I know players tire and fresh legs help but they are a couple of good players to take out.

Spot on about Patrick Curran being underrated, I've always thought he was a class bit of stuff.

Last weekend is now parked. Two right games coming up this weekend again. LimerickandProud (Limerick) - Posts: 94 - 23/04/2024 11:10:27 2540076 Link 0 |
I see Pat Ryan has rung the changes, and I'm not sure what to think really. I felt some tinkering was required, but it looks like he's performed open heart surgery with 6 changes. Not sure why Coleman and O'Flynn are on the bench but I guess we just have to trust in the manager. Delighted to see Eoin Downey in, but it will be a tough ask for the Downey brothers, who tragically lost their 1st cousin to a motorbike accident during the week. bloodandbandage (Cork) - Posts: 349 - 26/04/2024 09:46:39 2540710 Link 0 |
Id say that Cork team has potential to trounce us the pace & touch are pretty awesome anyway I hope its a classis winner takes all IMO

Agreed change required. I'm just wondering will the team named for next Sunday actually start or will they be a few adjustments before throw in. We are in knock out territory already, as I reckon as 2nd defeat will be the end of our season. The Banner are a serious side & we will have our hands full on Sunday in keeping them at bay. God knows what kind of performance our lads will served up Sunday, we could do anything. St.Mologga (Cork) - Posts: 121 - 26/04/2024 10:25:18 2540716 Link 0 |
Huge changes to cork,some unexpected I have to admit..no changes to Clare but I'm expecting Kelly to play especially when brought on last week. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2378 - 26/04/2024 12:37:40 2540743 Link 0 |
Munster nicely poised now. Cork will be disappointed to have no points after those 2 games especially having gone 7 up against us. I really felt like we were in trouble. LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2679 - 30/04/2024 11:17:37 2541725 Link 0 |
Another cracking game in Munster which wasn't on free to air..same next weekend with lim/cork..what has happened with the so called Saturday game??now I've watched James owens for many a year but surely what happened with Waterford penalty beats anything he has done before..first off it was debatable if there was a foul but then for him to actually stand in eyeline of keeper and not move until Bennett was riding the ball..surely it should have been retaken,linesman was on 21 to make sure players weren't interfering with it..why was ref actually standing where he was??heis now the main talking point again for 2nd week in a row..not everyone who watches these games can be completely wrong on the same person..

I am far from the biggest hurling fan, probably describe myself as a passive type fan. I have to say though that every year the Munster Hurling Championship never fails to deliver. It is phenomenal to watch and so exciting. As a neutral bar the Derry football games and the All Ireland football semi finals and final I look forward to the Munster Hurling Championship round robin. It is great value to watch as a neutral. Jazzyjeff (Derry) - Posts: 210 - 05/05/2024 13:47:22 2543104 Link 1 |
Yes these mistakes happen but seem to occur to both teams. The Tipp goal with a player a half mile inside the square and the levelling free the other way for charging. Tipp should have ended up with 13 player for elbows to the head. A direct red card any day. One incredible no card at all with the player lying injured on the ground. This seems to be the way and I am sure Tipp have plenty grievances also. I am not sure Bennett should be penalized for scoring a legitimate goal.

Would you prefer Galway or Mayo, Donegal or Armagh for the All Ireland Groups? I would like Galway, Armagh, Derry and Westmeath. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2475 - 05/05/2024 14:44:04 2543118 Link 0 |
The draw yesterday ensures it'll all go to the last match . There's so many intriguing matches left but Waterford going to ennis with a chance to secure a munster final sticks out. Tipp could get a shot in the arm after last night. They've 2 home matches left and their talisman in Jason forde still nowhere near his standard . Training will be tidy in tipp for next few weeks . Limerick will want to get the job done in cork next Saturday evening. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 05/05/2024 15:39:59 2543133 Link 0 |
Well I am answering this post match but I wanted to avoid Galway to be honest. I still think there is a serious side there and a side that in Championship we have struggled against. I would also like to avoid Donegal after the pasting they gave us. Couldn't be a worse group for us to be honest if it is Donegal now as well.

You were very unlucky with the predictions, Galway 1pt, Kerry 8pts.
