Were Wastemeath 1st out of the hat maybe? The first team drawn gets home advantage unless a "designated" county is drawn 2nd.

I'm not liking the general brand of "optimism" around here with regard to the Wexford game.

So it'll be a hurling game to open the New O'Connor park, lets hope it will swell the attandance there for the do or die Limerick match.

Thanks for that Treas. I'll have to get someone on the case on my behalf for that. If we are outnumbered and manage to win it would be good practice. I was at the Dubs match yesterday and it was fairly imtimidating, its a huge advantage to Dublin really, it would be nice to get a chance to quiten th...

Ticket arrangements?

Does anybody have details of the ticket arrangements for the LFC Semi/LHC Final?

It's reported in today's Metro that Joe McKenna has stepped down as Limerick manager after yesterdays mauling. Something about a meeting today (monday) to deal with the matter (appoint caretaker manager perhaps etc.)

There's always that worry AZ. I think it's time that we found our ruthless streak and bury teams when we can. In order to be sucessful its something we need to do. Sid should be able to get the most of the lads around him on the field, even if he doesn't do it himself.

Some people were on the pitch ('98), we though it was all over (two weeks ago).

It is now!

Roll on the Yella Bellies. I hope we can muster up the support now, god knows our lads deserve it.

Super! Maybe we can all get back to discussion the games now after all this. Have Kildare issued a statement or will they?

I agree, If we can beat the Dubs its game on. Limerick at home (in the new O'Connor Park???). Of course one eye/ear will be on the Clare/Limerick game. Even if Offaly come through the Dubs and Limerick games with wins it would probably mean that the Clare game would be a top of the table playoff for...

Has this been confirmed? It ridiculous! Messing the players (and supporters) around like that! Granted that we wouldn't have got much neutral support from the Dubs anyway for this game, the opportunity for a double header was next weekend with both Offaly and Wexford semi's on toghther. Looks like w...

No more than Karol deserves. He really has become a top notch player and has taken the captains role in his stride.

Here's hoping he'll get a chance to lift some silverware.

It'll be tough going but if we can overcome Dublin things mighn't be all that bad. This team needs more champ hurling to improve and they should improve. The forwards will hopefully really feel like they need to lift their game and against Dublin they will be well capable of that. A win there will p...

Very disappointing game, especially when it was there for the taking. Why was Diggy taken off? I was thinking that at least he can take a score. It struck me that we had huge difficulty in keeping possesion of the ball beyond midfield, we generally had one go at it and it was cleared. Am I right in ...

I thought I saw the Shark flag on the other terrace (not the town end) after the game. What happen the inflatable fish though? :-)

I agree Hocker, all this nonsense is doing Offaly no favours but its not helping Kildare either. If Offaly were to beat them in a replay it would set them back even further. They should concentrate on the Cavan match a match they could win, and build up from there. I hope that the Offaly team are no...
