Michael Bollins u wash that dirty mouth of yrs w soap young man

galway limerick tomorrow in the final folks

not a great final tbh

not a great match but cracking drama when comeback looked on

flying back when the match was on so i only caught the nail-biting last 10 minutes. im over the moon, limerick are such a big hurling county its great to win the thing at last. limerick city was dead quiet this morning according to friends

I got those O'Muircheartaigh quotes fwded to me the other day, kind of a tonic as I got mad love for Sid Waddell still but his classic work is all in decades long gone

You;d need to have heard Míchéal's craggy tones first to get an idea though.

O has taken me to the Blythe Hill Tavern to see her lads

The downside is that they're playing maybe the greatest team of all time, apparently

Winning atm mind!

Still winning! Limerick look rattled. Have observed that they seem less the Man City of hurling than the Chelsea

Uh oh. Limerick have found their groove. Still, for half an hour one could dream

This thread title is perfect

How much do you enjoy the violence intrinsic to both the performance of and enjoyment of the sport, Louis?

I'm a football fan, so...a fair amount? Limerick are horrid bullies tho

Ooh, eight all...

Some fun thing to say in the pub while supping on a pint to seem knowledgeable:

- any reference to “wristy hurling”
- “of course that fella didn’t have an arse to his trousers when I was watching him play u21”
- “ah sure it’s like watching the fucking ploughing”
- “clash of the ash” you can only say this unironically if you’re ten drinks in OR Pat Spillane
- “Henry Shefflin isn’t that great”
- “personally I thought DJ (Carey) was better in those mastitis ads than he ever was in the noughties
- “ah you’d be glad to see THEM* get bet all the same, wouldn’t you”

I will update with more as they come to me, I was born the same year as my county won the all Ireland though so you can trust me definitely

* them usually refers to Cork/Dublin/Kilkenny but can also refer to your local rivals from ten yards down the road

I'm informed the Henry Shefflin one might require updating. Extending it to the entire Limerick team and especially whoever their star player is

Ty though, I intend on using the wristy hurling line a lot for the remaining 20 minutes

The only other guy watching it in this pub is a Wexford fan too lol

Goal Wexford! A thriller

Gerrin there you overhyped twats

(this is probably Wexford's greatest result in...years?)

They’ll be selling strawberries on the roads tonight!

Must be some hiding in a freezer

The All-Ireland Champions came to Wexford today they were talking about painting the Town Green. But By God The Boys of Wexford were having none of it. OUT ye Go. OUT OUT they Said

a fine sentiment

How many times have you talked about the wristy hurling now

Everyone knows it's wristy

I missed all this

this limerick team have greatness in them, dominant say in the way of that very physical, athletic and organised Mou Chelsea etc but the greatest of all time will fall between Kilkenny (pick yr era) and I'd guess (not a great knowledge of the historical brilliance of individual teams) Offaly, Tipp?

This thread title is perfect

otm it is among my favorite thread titles on ILX.

xp even I wouldn’t nominate Offaly despite the greatness of the 1998 side. Cork must be up there, Tipp certainly

I made sure to talk about wristy hurling very often yes

lol notice how someone who'd never seen a game before picked up on this exact comparison after watching them for fifteen minutes

That was a pretty low scoring game yesterday, imago. Blustery winds a factor, id say. Limerick were bad yesterday, but sure look it, its early days in the league and we'd only a b team out.

Deems hasnt a clue, I forsee a decade of brutal dominance for this Limerick team.

My expectations are now unreasonably high for Wexford, lol

I dunno that 'they aren't definitely the greatest team of all time' is quite enough to hang that I haven't a clue on tbh

Especially from a lad who probably pronounced hurling with three syllables until yesterday

no that's bourke now attacking me tbf
