Agreed. I think we need to provide more help to some of the lower tier counties as well. Sligo are putting a lot of work into growing the game.

Wexford's defeat meant all 4 Provincial winners , Senior and u17, were beaten. Coincidence? conordee (Galway) - Posts: 440 - 28/07/2019 19:00:34 2217779 Link 0 |
Cycling set up an internatiol centre of excellence for riders outside of top countries who would not have the funding. Chris Froome went there back when he was still Kenyan. I know its a more individual sport but a national hurling centre where all lower division teams could book time and training with top experts that they could not otherwise afford. Youcan see qhat the likes of Kinnerk have done for Limk so its worth a shot

In fairness we can all criticise refs, but would any of us take their place. The failure on the GAAs part to move with the times and introduce technology to check out vital incidents is a big problem, for all teams. Anyway good luck to KK in final, but as native of the Mid West Ill have to shout for Tipp. Anyway KK have won enough already.

Sounds good. I think we need more coverage at a national level. Perhaps putting the final of the lower tiers on before the senior knockout games. Hawkeye9212 (Donegal) - Posts: 266 - 28/07/2019 19:30:34 2217790 Link 0 |
No I think they dont,but they have an alternative strip. They wore it for the Laois game and quite frankly it a strange kind of brown and black and looks awful.

Nobody saying this was not a fabulous game and great entertainment. Makes you so proud of our sport. However no point in cloaking over the poor level of officialism that can be corrected. Always will bw mistakes but should be reduced drastically. Note I do not say referees but want to include umpires and linesmen. Also the non enforcement of rules. I don't agree with Duignan about much but if it is a red card offence to tackle someone around the neck give it. This is increasing every year inspite of the rule.

Where does it say in the rule that a tackle around the neck is a red card? Duignan ralking out his hat on that one.

Allowing the goals would have made as much sense as your post.

I think it will great game but not one that will generate a lot enthusiasm unlike say a Wexford v Limerick final. It is what it is. I don't pay much attention to journalists. They will talk up any final regardless of who is in it.

Tipps change is a dark navy like the keeper and probably clash just as much. Wexford could have went for yellow but it wasnt much of a problem. Not like Limk v Kerry a few years back where different shades of green and a yellow band was enough

Wexford's handpassing and short passing game disintegrated in the last quarter, they looked shattered, despite being the man up, I couldn't believe it. I think a few Tipp scores came directly from cheap Wexford turnovers.

If its not it should be before someone ends up with serious neck injury.

As a Kilkenny man, Tiobraid, I have to apologise for that performance. His ineptitude wasn't ALL one way I know, but up until the Tipp red card I don't think ye got a single 50/50 call in yer favour. And I'm saying that as someone who'd gladly see Tipp lose every hurling match they ever play, including today. I'm not one of these posters who blindly defends referees because they're countymen. If it's bad, it's bad. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 28/07/2019 20:23:09 2217822 Link 1 |
Shouldve stuck to the shortpassing game for sure. Inexperience and pressure as well as tiredness maybe told on what is still a pretty young team. Tipp produced a great performance fair play to them. Especially the Mahers and Noel Mcgrath. The experience they had of big occasions defo stood to them in the last 10 minutes.

Massive result for us. From what I could see Davy had Wexford over trained. Despite having an extra man from the 45 min they were the ones going down with cramp. Kk will be pi**ed that there man Cleere couldn't get Wexford to the final as Kk would fancy beating them at least once in the year.

Best team won. Wexford had nothing left with 15 to go, why is that?. Ref was shocking again. Callinans goal was an unbelievable piece of skill. Dec82 (Clare) - Posts: 242 - 28/07/2019 20:46:30 2217842 Link 0 |

Good to see an honest assessment. We got one soft free for bubbles at the start of second half but a lot of other decisions went against us. I think the "square ball" was borderline at best and I had no issue with that but the not playing advantage was the biggest joke of all of them. In a way I have sympathy for him. I don't believe for a second he reffed the game for Wexford to win but I do think he's simply just not up to the level required. Having said all that I'm still buzzing after the game. Especially delighted for the older lads on tipp team. Brendan, paudie, seamie and Noel....could never question those lads. Many thought two of them were gone last year and the cruciate could've ended Brendan as well. They've been brilliant this year as was Bonner. When you see the likes of hogan and Reid yesterday and pat Horgan all year....maybe it's not a young mans game after all! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 28/07/2019 20:59:13 2217849 Link 0 |
