At least be honest, Galway supporters still whinge about Johnny Flaherty's legitimate goal 43 years ago and you're claiming another perfectly scored goal isn't worth mentioning.

In the context of the game it's not worth mentioning. And as for Johnny Flaherty's goal 40 years ago, I've never whinged about it and I'm old enough to have been at the game. If there's a few that do, take that issue up please with the ones who do whinge about it rather than me.

Congratulations St. Thomas. Well done. Tough game in very tough conditions. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2093 - 21/01/2024 17:10:46 2521351 Link 1 |

1985 final, Galway had a goal spin out. Ironic to hear Fleury claiming a goal should have been awarded today. I don't remember any similar concerns from him in the '85 aftermath. What goes around comes around.

Even if the "goal" had been allowed, St Thomas's would still have won the match as they really upped the tempo in the second half and proved with a man down, that they were the better team and would have repulsed anything O'Loughlin Gaels threw at them. Thomas's were determined to re-balance their legacy by winning another All Ireland after winning 6 Galway titles in a row and their greatness cannot be disputed after defeating the Munster and Leinster champions.

I agree, you are embarrassing yourself.

Shame that the "goal" is attracting so much attention. Noone knows how the game would have panned out had it stood. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13737 - 21/01/2024 18:57:27 2521388 Link 1 |

More whinging out of you - you're always at the same thing when Galway teams win AI titles. OLG couldn't win with an extra man for nearly all of the second half. Tom's were the better team overall with more possession / chances created and if it were not for some uncharacteristic wayward shooting could have easily won by more. Congrats lads - up there with one of the best club teams now especially considering how many years the team and some of these players have been playing at the very top level. David Burke is a class act on and off the field and what a warrior to come back from a career threatening injury 9 months ago to MOTM today.

I would call it a great game more than a tough game but that's nitpicking!

Actually the funny thing is nobody from Kilkenny is coming on complaining about "the goal" (unless you're one in disguise) and I expect they wont because they are generally good sportspeople. They'ĺl know that one major decision went against them but they'll also know they got the benefit of 2 major decisions made in their favour i.e. the sending off of James Regan which was never a red card and the non-sending off of the O'Loughlins player. (Some might reference the tackle made on Conor Cooney too which was borderline red). And OLG still got a last second free to draw the match but they sent it wide. That's why you wont get Kk fans complaining because they know it's swings and roundabouts. It takes someone supposedly from Westmeath to do the whinging though I suspect it's the Clare part of your moniker that's keeping you bitter.

A proper hurling fan would have acknowledged the legitimacy of the goal, arguing that it wasn't relevant is beyond juvenile, in a one point game having a legitimate goal not awarded is a massive aspect, magnanimity in victory is the essence of class.

Silly post reality is both teams will have grievances over different decisions, goal that wasn't for OLG, potential red card for Conor Heary, should have been a definite red for Jordan Molloy. Regan's red was harsh but what cancelled it out was Eanna Burke definitely should have been sent off for 2 yellows, i actually think Regan's red saved him as the ref didn't want either team down to 13.

It is a shame that it's getting so much attention with the fine year both teams had. It's a shame anyone had to lose. OLG are a serious team. They'll be back.

unreal win for Thomass. Another major won as a result of Power Physicality and heart. Hopefully Shefflin & co will have noted this. If someone says the weather suited them good luck. Limerick have dominated as a result of physicality. Shane Cooney has to be a started for Galway now along with fintin. maybe full and center back be the place for them. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 439 - 22/01/2024 08:52:50 2521452 Link 1 |
