Jayz, Tipp are very poor Sumac.

Limerick are defending better so far anyway

* jesus i shouldn't have jinxed us like that

[shakermaker1982]

do you guys think Laois have a chance of upsetting the odds this year in Leinster?

Tyrone/Donegal will be very interesting tomorrow.

Gonna show myself to be totally out of touch with GAA, but you have Tyrone winning Ulster, yet Armagh winning the All-Ireland. How does that work?

As far as I remember, only 1 county per province (in football, unless they now have a backdoor system also).

I was in Thurles tonight, at half time we (semi-jokingly) discussed leaving!!
Some comeback, both in normal and extra time.
Oddly enough the last time I was at a Limerick game in Thurles we looked like getting hockeyed early on and came back to draw!!

[finlma]

All Ireland - Kilkenny
Runners-up - Limerick

Haha - Limerick don't have a chance.

2 pretty average teams played out a pair of draws. Neither will even get close to winning the Munster final.

Galway are the dark horses this year. The only team that will challenge us.

Hurling: Kilkenny
Football: Donegal

I didn't catch all the match last night but who else thinks Tipp threw it away? They're turning into the Dubs now.

Ya Tipp bottled it twice in normal and extra time. 10 points up with about 15-20 minutes to go still managed to draw even though they had Limerick pretty much underwraps all game. Then in extra time were ahead for most of it but still managed to be caught on the line although having said that Limerick should never have got the 65 at the end. It was a classical case of the benefit of the doubt going to the team that was behind. I think Tipp are the better team but cant kill off a determined limerick team. Maybe Ger Loughnane is right that Babs Keating day in management has come and gone.

Agreed but it happens constantly in the GAA

Couple of points in it with a couple of minutes left?? Shur feck it we'll call it a draw, another big payday, everybody's happy

Also anybody notice how the GAA have been under-estimating the crowds all year?? That 27k yesterday was at least 32k-35k. Similarily the official attendance given of 26k at the first game was laughable.

I wonder are their figures put under half as much examination as Eircom League clubs??

Cash on the stiles

I agree with most of that, Tipp looked the better team all game, another inconsistant Ref (from the town end terrace anyway) id say we wouldnt have got that 65 at the end if it wasent for John lahey, thanks John!!!

[Lim till i die]

what did ya count them all yourself??

The Ground Capacity at Semple Stadium is 55,000

The Ground Capacity in Limerick is 52,000*

Look at the tapes. Do they look just over half full to you



*or 49,000 I forget which but either way my point stands

[DmanDmythDledge]
