Replying To carlovia: "I think that's harsh. The game is too fast to be reffed 100% correct. One mans defenders foul is another's overcarrying by the forward. I think the ref had a good game overall, just unfortunate that he missed the 65 at the end. Also it was a brilliant game and both counties supporters should be proud not arguing over every 50-50 decision." Look decisions level themselfs out over the course of s game that's sport kk were there for taking limerick didn't turn up and deserved to lose lesson learned for next year move on next game end of Hitnhurl (Cork) - Posts: 92 - 28/07/2019 13:40:01 2217538 Link

The biggest bearing on the game was Limerick's 15 wide's some from very point'able free's. Umpire was lined up behind goal for sideline he was correctly positioned to judge flight of ball towards goal which is his area of responsibility. The linesman clearly missed the deflection or else he thought there was no contact - mistakes happen, lord knows they got a lot more right than some of the Limerick players. No one to blame but themselves. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4953 - 28/07/2019 13:42:12 2217545 Link

Congrats to KK. Hung on after seeming like cruising. Kk played to their max and lim didn't and weren't let. Shame that some people are focusing on the last play as it takes away from an enthralling game. Best team won imho but that Limerick team will be back. They were great champions.

There was no one to blame for the wrong call only the officials. Not Kilkenny, not Limerick wides or how they played. Call it for what it is. A wrong bad call. Limerick players and supporters are entitled to be aggrieved. The GAA will not give referees the tools to do a better job. Posters on here attacking other posters for complaining about the wrong call are disingenuous and would be on here screaming wrong doing if it happened to their team. Tipp people are you o.k. if today with the last stroke of the ball and Wexford winning by a point, the ball goes out off the Wexford goalie and is waved wide ? Referees are human but not Gods. I know players will protest everything but when it comes to matching deciding incident like this he should consult and be aided by technology. I was very, very surprised from the start that this referee was on duty in an All-Ireland semi final after last year. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3025 - 28/07/2019 14:28:08 2217564 Link
Replying To Bon: "Ah would you stop, any team would feel aggrieved. Rightly so." Kilkenny would be aggrieved by it, but no chance the likes of you would be on here crying about it, that's for damn sure ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1256 - 28/07/2019 14:43:15 2217569 Link
As promised, I've watched the sideline incident again. The ball CLEAR AS DAY hit the Limerick player's leg before going over the sideline. It should never have been a line ball to Limerick in the first place. Disgraceful that a team can train their backsides off all year and pour their heart and soul into a match, and it could've been all taken away by a terrible decision by a linesman standing ten yards away. Hopefully Jackie T will be on TSG tonight and highlight this, these sour grapes need squashing. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1256 - 28/07/2019 14:52:13 2217578 Link

Replying To bloodyban: "They slowed it down on sky.. It was quiet obvious that the ball hit the Kilkenny players hand or handle...balls flight changed significantly. Unfortunately in an amateur organisation you get amateur decisions." BREAKING NEWS - people can make human errors and mistakes. If I were you I'd give over with the sour grapes and focus more on what was a fairly average performance despite a hell of a lot of work rate and commitment. Kilkenny miles the better team and yet limerick missed a hat load of chances. Suppose it's all the refs fault though. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13654 - 28/07/2019 15:28:13 2217603 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "There is a lot of bitter Limerick people on here today." Already said Limerick didn't deserve it since we didn't raise our game to required level. Doesn't change fact that Kilkenny fans disputed EVERY single free. They botched and moaned all day but NOTHING about Hannon been taken out or Nash nearly getting a broken jaw from a well placed elbow. Least sporting fans I have encountered. welpastit (Limerick) - Posts: 740 - 28/07/2019 15:34:55 2217607 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "Kilkenny were there for the taking? Did you watch the game?" Lol limerick 15 wides and disputed 65 and kk with their huge lead swallowed up easily with limerick in 4 gear and tj held scoreless from play yes i would say kk were there for the taking fact is this panel of kk players would not be in their top 20 best 15 in past 20 years ... ...the standard is down right across the board with more attention to strenth and conditioning than hurling skills........sometimes they look like they getting unbelievably scores but the fact the sliotor is the equivalent of kids ball years ago ...it's become a money making tournament it should be KNOCK out championship and let players have s life once knocked out Hitnhurl (Cork) - Posts: 92 - 28/07/2019 15:55:35 2217624 Link

I have been going to Croke park for over 50 years now,and Thurles and Nowlan Park and every other park but the behaviour of the LK fans yesterday was the worse I have ever come across,I am not saying our fans are perfect but yesterday the LK fans booed Tj when he was taking his first 2 frees,they booed him when he was getting his man of the match award,there was fans in front of me were on their feet every time KK got a free,now not all LK fans are like that,there were some lovely fans around us,but for you to come on here and say Kk are least sporting fans I say look to your fans whose sportsmanship towards TJ left an awful lot to be desired mooncat (Kilkenny) - Posts: 538 - 28/07/2019 17:34:45 2217708 Link
