The Hurling Thread

[Rebelsforsam1]

There's no way you're from Cork
One thing wanting Limerick to lose, another actively up the Catting on here.
Ya loon!

On the subject of witchcraftery, and KK's eerie presence in an AI Final, and the Cody factor....yadda yadda yadda.
Are they player for player better than Limerick?
No.
Are they collectively better than Limerick?
No
Has their form over the course of the championship been better than Limerick's?
No.
Can they summon a demonic intensity and rattle Limerick on Sunday?
Yes.
Will it be enough?
No.
I don't think they've closed the gap enough on Limerick, or should I say I don't think Limerick have dropped that much closer to the pack.

Paul Murphy believes they'll beat Limerick by 4.
There's an arrogance about KK that goes unnoted, an absolute sense of entitlement, as if the AI Final should not be counted if they are not in it

I'm sticking to my original Limerick 1-24 to 1-22 victory.
Though it'd be nice to see them throttle KK.

Definitely from cork. Even played for the f’kers. Can’t stand the sight of the green army with their crappy obnoxious supporters

Stop looking at Kilkenny from a Cork perspective. They will bring everything to the table Sunday , its Kilkenny with the greatest manager in the game. Not a County stuck in a Magic Alternative Hurling utopia .

Huh.

Must be living near the border eh?
Limerick don't bother me at all.

City. Rockies. Up the cats!

Agree with most of that.


Kilkenny if they are to have any kind of chance will have to score goals and I just don't see Limerick giving them anything like the kind of space they enjoyed against Clare.

How many uncontested short puck outs did Kilkenny have in the semi final. Limerick will be all over them.

I think bar something like a red for Limerick you are talking a 5 or 6 point win for the men in green.

I think KK will definitely score 1 goal, I would not be shocked if they score 2.
If they do I reckon Limerick will need at least 25 points and a goal themselves.


I imagine they'll target Gillane for a wind up, Hegarty as well.

I'd have ya run out of the place.

Just hope its a decent match.

Very hard to see anything other than a Limerick win.

The bookies certainly think so.

Ya think maybe this post hints that you could possibly, y'know, be looking at KK from a vaguely self loathing Cody fanboy perspective?

 

[Lee Bushwacker]

We used be like that too, pity we lost it

At least our fans weren't/aren't bad losers unlike the Noreies!

Hoping that the players adhere to the duty of care this Sunday and don't pull on any balls that are around a fellas ankles. Hon the Cats....
