Irish Rail brutally troll Limerick fans after All-Ireland defeat to Dublin

Dublin's hurlers provided us with one of the shocks of the Championship so far when beating Limerick at Croke Park on Saturday.
Niall Ó Ceallacháin's men stunned John Kiely's side at GAA Headquarters, running out winners by 2-24 to 0-28. The victory was all the more remarkable given Dublin played most of the game with 14 men following Chris Crummey's red card.
The Lucan Sarsfields man was sent off after his elbow connected with Gearóid Hegarty in the first half, with Dublin incredibly holding on to beat Limerick.
Those behind Irish Rail's X account couldn't resist a laugh at Limerick's expense.
Sharing an article from earlier this month which reported that trains from Cork and Limerick to Dublin on All-Ireland final day were sold out, a post from Irish Rail read: "Customers: if your booking is a flexible ticket, and circumstances change, you can cancel and get a full refund." The post ended with the hashtags #toosoon and #hurling, as well as green and blue emojis.
John Kiely admitted after the game that the loss felt as bad as last year's All-Ireland SHC semi-final defeat to Cork.
"Losing is losing on my side, I can tell you," Kiely said. "It all hurts and it will hurt as much as it did last year. We wanted our season to continue, we wanted to be back in training next week and it's over now, that's it.
"And that's sport, that's the competition. It's disappointing but it's the reality, we wish Dublin the very best of luck as they go forward now. That's it, we're done.
"Dublin deserve great credit for their performance, to win that game with 14 men for such a long period of time is a fantastic achievement for them.
"Things stuck for them today, when they went to catch a ball, it stuck, they were really good on restarts, ours and theirs, breaking ball was a real strength of theirs today, they were really, really good on the breaking ball.
"And whenever they got the chance to go for goals, they were very accurate and they gave themselves a chance to win the game. When the opportunity to win the game came in the last 10 minutes, they seized those opportunities."
