Everyone’s glad to have another go at this one

WE WERE expecting a Championship match in Thurles yesterday; when you land into Semple Stadium you expect a level of competition on a par with watching a couple of angry scorpions trapped in a bottle.

Well, we didn’t get that. We had Waterford failing to collect their car passes for a Munster final, and then Limerick rubbing their bosoms on the finishing tape but declining to break through.

On a wet, miserable day, the game never rose above league vintage, and a victory for either side would have been more democratic handover than coup d’etat. Electors of Iran please copy.
