Replying To katser: "Ah Jesus Meelick-Eyrecourt would have beaten Slaughtneil!! Completely different situation when Loughrea face Ballygunner in the All Ireland Final!!" But you'll still be hoping that Loughrea win it, won't you? foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2412 - 21/12/2025 17:51:04 2649118 Link
Having the lad red carded at the end is a blow to Loughrea. They should appeal it. Serious mistake by him. But hopefully they can rise above it regardless of any appeal. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2706 - 21/12/2025 20:04:09 2649128 Link
If it was a serious mistake by him then why should they appeal it? Camera didn't seem to pick it up but commentator certainly spotted it and his tone before card was shown indicated that player was in bother. Huge loss for Loughrea, hurled well today but Ballygunner look hungry to be regarded as a great club side and need a second All Ireland to be considered that Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2504 - 21/12/2025 20:46:34 2649133 Link

There was no strike & it will be appealed. I'm sure Rogers will be involved in the appeal BigBàsMan (Galway) - Posts: 249 - 21/12/2025 20:50:15 2649135 Link
Replying To BigBàsMan: "Loughrea will have Darren shocks and Shane o Brien back for the final. Will be great additions" Why were they not playing? Injuries? Are they both starters? SouthGalway (Galway) - Posts: 145 - 21/12/2025 22:58:40 2649145 Link

He was none the wiser like the rest of us, but said Johnny Murphy must have seen something. He was following the play when whatever happened occurred. Likewise his co-commentator. The only comment made was that Killeen didn't protest too much, but he looked in shock more than anything. The truth is, neither you nor I know what happened, unless you were at the game and happened to be watching them off the ball. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2669 - 21/12/2025 23:06:38 2649146 Link

Lads would want to be getting more enjoyment out of it than that, rather than worrying about who thinks they're great, or whether they're 'great' or not.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "There was no strike & it will be appealed. I'm sure Rogers will be involved in the appeal" The worry is Loughrea need video evidence to get it overturned. Appeals process has changed dramatically in recent years. So, unless Loughrea have a camera themselves (or Slaugheil) that caught it, it won't be overturned.

Replying To BigBàsMan: "There was no strike & it will be appealed. I'm sure Rogers will be involved in the appeal" I was at the match myself and unfortunately for Loughre he did strike him with the hurl. Two players were grabbing each other and killen pulled across the guys stomach happened right in front of us and the linesman too. Moment of headloss for the youngster who has been outstanding.
