At the end of the nobody would have criticised DMcG had he not sent of Lee Keegan, it was a totally avoidable mess! Justice served!

Glad L Keegan is free to play No malice in his action Did Diarmuid Connolly get cleared to play in All Ireland few years ago?

I think the fact Mayo's appeal not to have the game played in Limerick rejected, helped Lee Keegan's appeal #1/2aintbad

If the game at the weekend was a 1st/2nd round in the championship would it have been over turned? Probably not no consistency once again

How on earth was Gearoid Hegarty overlooked for a nomination? He was one of Limerick’s best players this year ffs!

Diarmuid Cody really?????
HOW on earth did he get a nomination?
He was dropped for the Carlow game and they got hammered by Wexford.

Not a Cork man in sight. Further proof as if any were needed of how low the standard has fallen in Rebel land. Frank take another bow!

Very true but Limerick will get 11-12 players on the team with McDonald the only cert outside of them of a place.

Duggan was roasted in the Munster final. Can’t see him getting selected. He was brilliant against Waterford though.

It mad to say but you can be sure a few the Kilkenny players who didn’t get nominated will end up with a pocket of All Ireland senior medals anyway…

Ha is Galway’s Paul Killeen not nominated? Gave probably the best full-back display of the summer in the semi against Limerick.

Why isn’t Cathal Mannion named?? Surely he should walk onto that team given he’s 1 of the front runners for young hurler of the year!!!

Sep 23rd 2015, 11:10 PM

To be fair Mannion had a quiet game in the semi final and the nominations are taken purely from the U-21 games and not the senior ones.
