Absolutely class goal.

Always liked Richie Hogan since he was a minor (at 16 I think?)

Goal for Tipp game on?

Lar very quiet all day then sets up a goal. Could make for a great finish

Tony Baloney · September 04, 2011, 04:53:35 PM

How are Tipp still in this?! Dodgy keeping from Herity.

muppet · September 04, 2011, 04:58:05 PM

Goal in it. C'mon Tipp.

Yeah how? I'd say Kilkenny will pull away in the end.

Shot along the ground that went past him. I've seen harder stopped

Well done Kilkenny! Tipp probably reached their peak in the Munster final.

Canalman · September 04, 2011, 05:08:09 PM

Well done the Cats. Proved this humble poster wrong.

Motm was Jackie Tyrrell by a country mile imo. Fennelly and Hogan probably in with a shout also.

AZOffaly · September 04, 2011, 05:09:16 PM

Tyrell was class, but I thought Walsh was brilliant

Tony Baloney · September 04, 2011, 05:10:45 PM

Had Cats to win by 1-3 points. Larkin ruined that!

Yea, near the end there he burst out with the ball to midfield and hit the usual cross-field pass. He teammate lost it, the ball was driven in long and feck me who was under it but Walsh again, he must have sprinted back 30-40 to get there.

Feel sorry (to a degree) for Declan Ryan. The fallout after today will not be pretty in Tipperary.

Tommy Walsh was excellent but I really would love him to explain how his hurl ended up on refs nose. There is an edge to his game that clouds general brillance.

Refs to wear helmets next year?

Either that or deal with the guy who swings his hurl, head high, at 5 or 6 people.
Absolutely no mention on RTE about Walsh deliberately swiping the stick!

The crazy thing is he swung it a few times during that row.

He was like William Wallace in full flight, swinging his sword at anyone--if that was me swinging my stick i'd be very concious that i was running a very real risk of being sent off--Tommy is a lunatic and was very lucky there.

Awesome, awesome hurler though --on for 9 Allstars in a row--incredible

Saw him one night in Nowlan Park at a Kilkenny trainin session and he was like an animal that night during the game at the end--no friends there
