C'mon Limerick

[Fugee_in_Langerland]

..


Place all your heart felt good wishes to your Limerick cousins here..

Sing it up boys!!!!

Limerick your a Lady not an auld whore..


Limerick you're a lady
your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
Ill take it with me love where-e'er I go
While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
the one true love that I have ever known

As children you and I spent endless days of fun
In winter's snow or summer's golden sun
We fished in silver streams, the fabric of our dreams
Was fashioned by your loveliness and so I have to say:

Chorus
Limerick you're a lady
your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
The beauty that surrounds you
Ill take it with me love where-e'er I go
While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
the one true love that I have ever known


The difference time has made, to travellers on their way
Seeking out the beauty of our lands
At shrines the children play, and bells ring out to say
Thank God we're living just to feel the freedom of each day

Chorus

While walking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home
And Limerick you're my lady
the one true love that I have ever known

[Redshirter]

Comeooonnnn Limerick you can do it no problem ....... To the brave and the faithfull nothing is impossible

[Fugee_in_Langerland]

Comeooonnnn Limerick you can do it no problem ....... To the brave and the faithfull nothing is impossible

Good man Redshirter. We need some more of that kind of talk..

Maybe another rousing song might get them going.. We could have a sing song



Sad are the homes round Garryowen
Since they lost their joy and pride
And the banshee cry links every vale
Around the Shannon side that city of the ancient walls
the broken treaty stone, undying fame surrounds your name, Sean South from Garryowen

T'was on a dreary New Years Eve
As the shades of night came down
A lorry load of volunteers approached the border town
There were men from Dublin and from Cork, Fermanagh and Tyrone
And the leader was a Limerick man - Sean South from Garryowen

As they moved along the street up to the barracks door
They scorned the danger they might face
Their fate taht lay instore
They were fighting for old Ireland to clim their very own


And the foremost of that gallant band
Was South from Garryowen
But the seargent spied their daring plan
He spied them trough the door
The Sten guns and the rifles a hail of death did pour
And when that awful night had passed
Two men lay cold a s stone
There was one from near the border twn and one from Garryowen

No more wil he hear the seagull's cry
Over the murmurring Shannon tide
For he fell beneath a Northern sky brave Hanlon by his side
They have gone to join that gallant band
Of Plunkett, Pearse and Tone
A martyr for old Ireland
Sean South from Garryowen

[northmallexile]

You do realise he wasn't from Garryowen at all, like?

That eejit Seán South aside, I'll associate myself with these sentiments. The Da's from Limerick and they've always been my second team behind Cork.

[west cork rebel]

anyone but waterford and the cats for the all ireland if we don't get there ourselves.

[deeptek]

Come on Limerick!Love to see them do it.
Happy to see Clare beat Galway too even if it was dull

[Edmund Blackwater]

Mods, you can lock this one up now.

[KolaKubes]

Delighted with Waterford's win.

East Cork/West Waterford, the home of hurling. :P

[MonTheHoops]

Duignan got it spot on yesterday. When Kelly came out midfield they should have left him out there alone.

Partly agree.

Limerick should have brought out one of their own full forward line.

They couldn't let Waterford have an extra man in that part of the field because getting the better of the scrappy exchanges in there were what kept them in touch up to then.

Anyway, I'm hopeful that Waterford's goal-scoring touch might mean they'd live with Kilkenny and better them come the crunch. If Cork can't win back their crown, least Waterford winning it would be good and great for the championship.

I hope Limerick get stuffed out of it soon though.

Nasty shower of gurriers.

Did you go out for the game yesterday?
Home in bed locked at six o'clock after your four pints.

I wouldn't worry about this waherfur lovin joker TBT

read the cork kerry thread for an example of what he knows about GAA and subsequent ownership by the great and good of the forum

[RonnyB]

Was hoping Limerick would win yesterday. The hurling championship needs an underdog wiining (not at Corks expence mind) a big game. Also I cant stand Waterford.

Yes, I'm sure Limerick's brand of hurling would appeal to a bogballer such as yourself.

They're a disgrace. Delighted to see the better hurling side win out.

In better conditions Limerick would have gotten cleaned out by more.

[STEVIEG]

"Waterford are looking fairly rattled at the moment":)

luckily for them, they didn't look badly rattled

Limerick looked understandably tired as the game wore on

[FL4ZGN]

In Ancient Cork, the plebs were the general body of the Kola family, distinct from the privileged class of the patricians. A member of the plebs was known as a plebeius. The term is used more commonly today to refer to one who is in the lower class, or who appears to be, but on the Sports Forum, plebeians could become quite rattled.

Pfff, if I'm a pleb then that must make the rest of you helots is all I'll say.

TBT it must be painful seeing good hurlers like Mark Foley and Ollie Moran trying to win but have junior standard hurlers like Mike O'Brien and Barry Foley hindering their efforts.

Mike O'Brien was much better than Ollie Moran yesterday.

The difference between the teams was Dan Shanahan.

Waterford were the better team and deserved the win.

An admirable concession given they won by nine points. ;)

[LawrenceSummers]

i want to point out that the ref was very good yesterday, in shit conditions he did very well, if we could have reffn like that at every game we wouldnt have fuck all of the problems that we have.

[FL4ZGN]

7 of which were scored in injury time.

Sure here you are commenting and as usual you probably havent even watched the game.

[Poc Fada]

The thing that'll win Waterford an All Ireland is their ability to come strong in injury time and its what makes a great team. They did it against Cork in the semi and in the league semi. They couldnt do this in years gone by but J Mac has got them primed now.

Their full back line is a weakness though and I think John Allen was right when he said yesterday that Waterford arent as good as Cork yet. Should make for an interesting last 8.

Course I watched it. What do you take me for? Some sort of bluffer?

The cheek...

[LawrenceSummers]

they came good yesterday cause inexperience got limerick

they were tired going out onto the pitch after the tipp games and they went all out for the first half, didnt have the energy when it came to the end

[KolaKubes]

They came good yesterday because there was a gulf in class.

Credit to Limerick for putting it up to them but on a dry day the gap would have been more than nine points.

You've been eating too many blah's lad.

It's quite simple. A gent such as myself can appreciate good hurling (and otherwise) regardless of the tribalism. I even raised myself for the odd polite clap for the rare bits of good play from a plucky if outclassed Offaly side on Saturday afternoon.

I would not expect a countyman of Damian Reale to grasp the concept at all. :p

Few head high challenges yesterday as well....

Did I say he was an unsuccessful knacker?


Knowingly trying to re-injure Kelly's hand.

Even scousers wouldn't do that. :D

And dropped a cement block on his head when he was prone on the ground...

Yes, ye possibly have a few lessons to learn yet. An exchange programme with Toxteth might be organised?

you could in your shit, you'd never even heard of Pa Cronin and Shane O Neill till I told you about them, judging them as players based on squad numbers.
You wouldn't know good hurling if it bit you in your baz

you don't have a clue pubes, not one clue

I'll be in the Crows nest at 2 o clock if ye're interested.

Kola will you be able to bum a spin up from Ballynoe or will I send edmund down to collect you?

ps Don't wear the Waterford jersey

[de mange]

the game went exactly as i expected.. limericks hard hurling and heart was never going to be enough to take them all the way. smarter better hurlers will generally win out.. credit to limerick though, it was a really good quick game of ball and a joy to watch

tbt- i wouldnt agree that shanahan was the difference between the sides... bar midfield, i thought limerick were out hurled in just about every position..

beat the shite out of the rubbish served up as football in roscommon beforehand

if cork and waterford meet again it will be unbeleivable stuff.. 1-2 points will seperate them as i think waterfords defence is a little shakey but the cork half forwards dont inspire me a whole lot

Cork are a level above the blahs' imho.

Ollie Moran (player of the month) had his quietest game of the championship.
Who kept him quiet?

[KolaKubes]

We have to agree on a few things first lamps.

Is it "freestyle" puckabout with points awarded for artistic merit or are we talking goalposts and the like?

This is very important.

yeah maybe their defence deserves a bit more credit.. i reckon as the championship progresses they might be shown up a little.. moran wa probably knackered after the replays considering his performances

i see probs with our half forward line containing pa cronin and hero as starters

i thought mullane hurled as well as ive ever seen him yesterday

[LawrenceSummers]

one thing that we need to note is that waterford are playing at their peak at the minute, they cant get any better that how the played against limerick or us, but we have more in the tank, and with our fulll team we can beat them, how much more we have in the tank is the question, is it enough to take the cats?

Waterford at their peak? They only played for 10 minutes against against Limerick & the full back line were terrible against Cork. Plenty of room for improvement I'd say.

Now now, the best team in Munster is still Cork. Ye only beat the second XI after all! :D

Ye're not at ye're peak but the full back line was bad as well Sunday. Lucky thing Barry Foley showed the touch of a rapist when given a chance.

If it was a certain yellow helmet clad no. 15 south of Limerick that got that oppertunity it would have been buried.
