@Tommy Roche: fair play for a great comment! Hurling the big winner here is right, savage team are Kilkenny and no doubt they are building towards setting the bar again like they’ve done for years, we earned it the hard way today, some game!

@Tommy Roche: Fair enough. Im certainly not saying every little tap should be blown up, nothing worse than a ref who but I felt there were a few stonewall frees. But Kilkenny’s wides at start of 2nd half cost them ultimately. Eoin Murphy is some keeper

@Tommy Roche: the biggest compliment us Treatymen can give KK is how much it meant to us to finally bate ye

@Frank Scanlon: *a ref who ruins a game by blowing everything

@Frank Scanlon: to be honest Frank I thought Kilkenny got a few dodgy frees in the first half but the best team won in the end without doubt

@Dec Gill: Enjoy it, lad. Ain’t going to happen too often.

@Tommy Roche: Yes, but Limerick have no bad record against Kilkenny, even though KK have won more of their battles. They, however have beaten Kilkenny in five different decades, three different centuries and two different millenia

@Trevor Beacom: the kilkenny keeper has to be in the mix for motm as well

@Derek delaney: Kk keeper superb will be well in the running for an All Star despite1/4 Final exit.

@Gavin Mitchell: we are shaking in our boots ; )

@Gavin Mitchell: ye never learn.

@Jonathon Carroll: Im used to the losing pal. Just this once Ive every reason to feel this way. ;) Oh Im learning alrite…

@Now or Never: How is a match between the best team in Munster and the 3rd best team a 50-50 game. Cork are much superior. Limericks distribution from defence is terrible and their forwards couldn’t hit an empty net. Limerick are lucky KKs shooting was shocking.

@John Buckley: Well I’m fairly sure that Limerick drew to Cork with a red card just a month or two ago :/

@John Buckley: opinions are there to be debated about, and that’s only my one! If that’s how you feel then Cork have nothing to fear in 2 weeks time then, I hope for our sake we perform with a bit more clinical shooting than today, and we’ll give it a go at least

@Sean Dilligan: and I am fairly sure that a Clare side that Cork beat twice hammered Limerick.

@Now or Never: Its not an opinion, its a fact that a match between the top side and the 3rd best side in Munster is not a 50-50. Cork are rightly favorites.

@John Buckley: it is my OPINION u langer!!!! Give all the facts that u like, it won’t change my OPINION!

@Now or Never: An opinion with no regard for facts is an idiots opinion. You deluded idiot.

@John Buckley: only one idiot here and that is you john.

@Gavin Mitchell: Limerick and Galway very similar in attack but Galway’s defence would edge it in the end I think

@John Buckley: If it makes you happier to be favourites that’s okay with most of us Limerick people. It’s all on the day and remember Cork played Clare in Cork not in Ennis. But we’re cool with Cork being favourites anything to damper the hype.

@Gavin Mitchell: here we go again getting excited before the semi final has even been played, typical of limerick and im from limerick!

@Gavin Mitchell: getting ahead of yourself are you, Remember what happened in 2013 when limerick played the semi final and we had the all ireland won even before the clare match according to supporters, radios, media etc? And im a limerick fan!

@John Buckley: What do you think now John. Being the ‘best team in Munster’ meant nothing in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014 or 2017, why should it have mattered so much in 2018. The sad fact is winning provincial championships does mean that much anymore.

@Seán Prendeville:

@superdooper: But several munster over the past 10 years have failed at the semi final stage

@superdooper: Just look at the records and see what happened Munster Champions in 2007, ’08,’10,’12,’13, ’14 and ’17 and now ’18. As pointed out above winning Munster means nothing anymore.

@James Doyle: you are correct on one thing. The standard is currently higher in Munster overall but the wheel always turns and let’s not forget that the all ireland champions come from Leinster championship. I’ve seen nothing yet that suggests that they shouldn’t remain favourites to win it again. As for the rest of what you said, I’m sorry but that’s nonsense.
