Hurling 2025

[mouview]

It's a disgrace that a Wexford ref is allowed to referee Galway two weeks before we play them. He gave Daithi Burke and Micheál Donoghue red cards. Burke is out for that match. Lee Chin will have a field day.

As a general rule, it's a conflict of interest to have a ref from the county of the next fixture.
However, Galway can have no complaints about the red. When the half time whistle blew Burke pulled down on Duignan and broke a hurl over has head/neck/shoulder. It might be acceptable in Galway club hurling, but it's a red all day at inter county.

Open to correction but the half-time whistle hadn't gone, (why Owens didn't blow when the puck-out was in the air, only he will know), and Dathi was competing for the ball legitimately as it dropped.

As I said previously, Clare a very limited outfit who lucked it big time last season.

No it's not. Clare were further away from Limerick than ever last year, no way would they have beaten them in an AI final. Why Kilkenny didn't put them away in the second half of the semi', only they will know. Barring Kelly and O'Donnell, I doubt they have any other player that would make a best XV of the country.

Kelly and O'Donnell are two exceptional hurlers though. Without them Clare are not the same. Clare were were also without their fullback Cleary and half back Ryan.

Did they show the incident MaCarthy got sent off for. I missed the start of the match? Was it a fair sending off?

Haven't seen it properly but I think he caught him in the balls.. I'm sure he didn't start it but he was certainly caught for it..

Thought the last day out that he'd been given a handy touch wiyy try h no real reducer type tackle put on him..

[Milltown Row2]

No, red card job done, buck eejit

[imtommygunn]

The cork fella got away with one too.

In the lead up to the red?

[armaghniac]

How come the manager can bollock the linesman in hurling, but Kieran McGeeney gets a card for doing this?

[Wildweasel74]

So i suppose everybody gonna blame the ref for a players idiotic move.

The one John McGrath got in the stomach. It was a bit later in the half.

Ah, must have missed that myself. Think Cork would have won regardless but that's so self inflicted that he can have no complaints and plenty of apologies to his team mates

The lad is only 19 or something so ease up on him FFS..

The GAA do have to come down hard on the dig to the balls.  It's getting all too common.

I'm not going tough on the lad but he'll have to deal with it as his own supporters will be worse
