Carey says Walsh is victim of rivals' cynical tactics

Some hurler - my motm today.

Might have been testing the quality of the straps on Benny Dunne's helmet though!

[INDIANA]

Some hurler but crosses the line too much for me. Corbett or Kelly for me today but they have to give it to the winners.

Tommy Walsh MOTM for me, with all the headlines over the last week focusing on him and then he comes out and delivers that performance! It just shows what a great hurler he is

[Zulu]

PJ Ryan was mom for me, without him Kilkenny would have lost.

+1

Although PJ Ryan did keep them in it with a couple of great saves,but I doubt a Goalie would get MOTM, has it ever happened?

[The Real Laoislad]

Ya beat me to it Zulu....Would love for him to get it but I dunno...

[Bud Wiser]

Tommy Walsh should get MOTM after that display today. Cats would not have won without Ryans saves but then that is a fairly obvious conclusion to come to !  Tommy is the man.

MOM has to be either PJ Ryan or Walsh. Personally I'd go for Walsh as he was simply outstanding.


Massive performance from a player who just gets on with it.



That Ger Loughnabe is a bitter boy.

I think Ryan will get it - think it was a performance out of nowhere.  The guys on the radio gave it to him.

According to most people, it has guaranteed him an All Star. It will the first all star goalie in an awful long time.

Don't think Cummins, Fitzhenry, Cusack etc would agree!!

[orangeman]

Now according to the punidts, Walsh is a great sportsman. I have to laugh when I hear this rubbish.

[agorm]

Was he not saying that it will b the first Kilkenny All-Star goalie in a long time?

I must have another look, I didnt see Tommy pushing Dunnes helmet over his eyes. But still Tommy had another huge performance. He catches ball over men that have a good few inches on him. Tipp had dominated the midfield and their half backs as well for most of the game, with Ryans saves and the KK half backs holding fast, the game was won.

[Galwaybhoy]

Fair play to Tommy Walsh, answered all critics!  HE was immense from the first puck, he seemed to be everywhere - maith thú Tommy.

BTW, it doesn't matter if he nudged his helmet over Dunnes face or not - that stuff happens - no excuse for a filthy stroke from a proud player like BD.

He didn't answer any critics hatchetfield.  No one ever doubted his immense talent.  Now what people might say about him is that his inclined to play a bit over the edge and that can not be disputed.

And I agree Benny Dunne had to go and any player that pulls a hurl across another's face should get a very long suspension imo.
