In my opinion the big difference between the side in such a close game was the terrible attitude and performance put in by gleeson. 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 03/09/2017 18:47:38 2042246 Link 1 |

Hearty congratulations to Galway on their win today. They are great champions. They lay down their marker back in the spring when they hammered us in the league final. They answered every question asked of them since that day and always look in control of each and every championship game they played. They are wonderful champions and a credit to our great sport.

Cut short a holiday to get back to the house here on the west coast of the US, and watched the game streamed through the brother's phone home in Galway. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 03/09/2017 18:51:00 2042250 Link 3 |
WE often give Refs stick on here in post match analysis, only fair to say well done today. Best refereeing performance in years. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 03/09/2017 19:01:57 2042253 Link 0 |
I've posted long and often probably going a unheard about how much I hate Kilkenny , Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2419 - 03/09/2017 19:19:08 2042260 Link 1 |
The Hail Mary sideline cut and free from his own 45 both going wide when his team were crying out for ball to go into them as they needed a goal sums up Austin. He'd rather go for the glory himself from a low-percentage situation than the "boring" option of lobbing the ball into the square.

Congrats to Galway - richly deserved All Ireland. Dirk (Wexford) - Posts: 65 - 03/09/2017 19:22:13 2042262 Link 0 |
Good point CorkCelt. I thought he did well too. I was delighted for him because he came into this game under huge pressure.

That was nail-biting stuff and it is a huge relief to come away with the win. Galway showed great composure and the way they responded with 3 quick points after Waterford went ahead was crucial. It was a real panel effort with Niall Burke and Jason Flynn making major contributions when they came on. Hard luck to Waterford - ye gave it everything and pushed us all the way.

I'd question the ref over a few decisions. One when the game was in the melting pot and he gave a free to Galway for a Waterford overcarry. It was crucial. McInerney was holding the guys hurley prior to the over carry. 2 point swing. Over all he was good.

Game passed Gleeson by. When he's not 100% he's poor. He doesn't pass or do self less stuff. He 'll mature I'm sure bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 03/09/2017 19:32:38 2042270 Link 0 |
Congratulations! I believe Canning is still signing autographs and taking pics. He's some man! Enjoy the celebrations!

Think thats very unfair. Joe canning has missed his fair share of lune balls. Galway better team but not nice to be knocking players.

It might be the making of him in the long run.

Passed more than him by. That's the way finals go. Both management teams do some much homework on the opposing team that the majority of match ups end up cancelling each other out. I thought the Tipp vs Galway semi-final was similar with a handful of standout performances.

Well done Galway. Ultimate team performance today as they have given all year. Personally I said they hadn't it in them but I was very wrong. They're a very even team and had an excellent year. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 03/09/2017 20:05:56 2042295 Link 0 |
Spot on. Thought that myself watching the game. Excellent job done by him. If the ref in the Football Final is as good then we can't ask for more than that. ps. Forgot to say Hard Luck to Waterf Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3684 - 03/09/2017 20:06:24 2042296 Link 0 |
