Trying to get tickets for Limerick cork on Sunday on Ticketmaster none seem be available the game would hardly sell out?

This ref has been a disgrace in the minor final, he should probably find a new hobby

By the law, he was right with the reds.

What a win for Tipp minors!

[gallsman]

Shocking from KK against 13 men. You'd never have known tipp were at a disadvantage the way KK played.

Tipp deserved it in normal time.  Some courage and heart there.

Got to see about 20 minutes of the second half of normal time and Tipp even with the 13 men looked to be the most threatening and should have finished it at the end of that half.

Kilkenny players were very greedy, shooting badly for way out the field and gave their forwards poor ball to work with.

Fair play to Tipp, to go on and win still with the 13 players for another 20 minutes takes some doing.

When you see the usual suspects on Twitter giving off about the Ref in the minor game makes you take a second look at things.

First one was tough on the lad but he struck with the hurl, linesman called it, striking is a red card offence like it or not.

Second one was clear cut, drove the should in to the chest and head of an opponent. Contact with the head is a red card offence and players know this now.

All that being said, some performance by the 13 men to stay in the game.

Watched a clip of that one where the Tipp lad swung out with a one handed pull on the Kilkenny lad. I believe if the referee had seen that for himself he probably wouldn't have sent him off even if by the letter of the law he was entirely justified in doing so.
Once you bring in the linesman it was always going to be how he interpreted the level of force/intent in that pull as it wasn't really full blooded, but the lad himself and Tipp should have no complaints either way.

This is where I tend to have problems with, for me it has to be definitive and having complete trust in your linesmen..

When reds are involved I'm asking the linesman would I send him off lol

Davy Fitz steps down

That'll be the end of his IC management I'd have thought. Can't see any of the tier one teams looking him, too much of a sideshow with him.

Ballygunner manager will probably take it on after the club championships are over.

Doubt it.

If Shefflin goes, knowing there's a bit of rebuilding to do it'll need someone who knows a lot about Galway hurling and what's available at club and underage level to bring into that squad.

Davy isn't know for bringing young lads through other than his native Clare in 2013 and that was with Kinnerk alongside him.

[NAG1]

Galway need rid of Shefflin of that there is no doubt, but would they be mad enough to give Davy a final lash at IC Management?

Or would he be crazy enough to take over after Gleeson in Antrim
