Replying To wexico15:  "His team's tactical fouling around opposing team half back line is a serious scourge on the game, i found his comments hilarious, if you foul alot who give away alot of frees, hardly rocket science..."
You are spot on! Kiely sais he is worried about the game ! What about his his short hand passing out of defense it's terrible to watch like football ! Nothing at all about one of his players strike on Joe last year, the reality is his team are fouling 99% of the time to stop the advantage of the attacking team. Can't believe they gave him air time on the Sunday game and failed to analyse the match at all. The best think to do with a spoilt child is ignore them !

Replying To PoolSturgeon:  "Terrible whinging from Kiely in his post match interview. Most undignified...thought he was better than that. Basically accused Galway of diving and cheating and fooling the ref but in some verbal gymnastics added that they deserved to win!"
if this advantage rule remains hurling will become a freetaking competition. Strange that any hurling men who are asked about it are against it

I don't think Limerick are the world heaters they're being made out to be which I've said here multiple times. However they're still most definitely the best team in the country. A game in salthill won't define them - a pitch where no game of hurling should ever be played.

Tremendous win for Galway today. Just think about it. This could be the first step winning All-Ireland #4 ? (Something like that) in almost 125 years. No wonder people of your perception and ilk are shouting from the mountain- top. Who wouldn't be.
Sweet dreams.

Don't know what interview you watched but he said Galway were the better team and deserved to win.

John Kiely looked very foolish and immature. He has either lost control of things and is worried about the season ahead or his head is gone too big for reason.

John Kiely's mask came off yesterday, he must be worried about Galway!
I didn't hear a word out of him apart from the usual platitudes when his team was winning. Not a word about simulation (his description yesterday) after last year's All-Ireland Semi-Final, not a word about Joe Canning who spent at least 7 or 8 minutes lying in serious pain on the ground after being hit in the back by Limerick's 'biggest' player. Maybe he should look at yesterday's game again in full without his green tinted eyes. Why for instance did Johnny Coen get booked? Why was Coen furious with Kiel Hayes. The camera can reveal a lot even if the ref and commentators miss it!

Replying To Galway9801:  "So are you denying that the galway players dived? I didn't see the game tbh, but if they did he's right to call it out.
I always felt that Phillip Jordans dive in the 03 final that got Marsden sent off badly tainted tyrones win that day, and if galway players start at that stuff then I won't be defending them.
Embarrassing stuff, embarrassing for the player, the county, and most importantly the game."
If you didn't see the game, you shouldn't comment. There was no diving, just a bunch of sour grapes that fell out of someone's mouth!

Replying To bloodyban:  "Thats his point. Alot of the frees given weren't fouls last year...4 months ago. Theres guys throwing themselves down and the ref is buying it. Owens is notoriously easily fooled. And then he missed the hurley to the head on Hegarty. Kielys right...the game has changed almost overnight. Its rubbish to watch."
Jesus you have a very short memory ?? In relation to hegartys strike on canning last year. You better take off those green glasses and when you do try and look at the blight this Limerick team method of hurling is having on hurling! With all this handpassing in the back and around the middle and fouling early to stop teams getting a run on them!

You need to make sure your own house is neat and tidy before calling out simulation like Kiely did. I didn't see him complain when Diarmuid Byrnes dived to get David Reidy sent off in 2018.

A biteen arrogant, on both counts, I'd say! According to the TG4 commentators yesterday, the pitch was in excellent condition. B'fhéidir nach dtuigeann tú an Ghaeilge, a mhaicín!

Kiely was fine with Ref. Owens in 2018 Final allowing Limerick lad 9 steps before scoring goal lol

I look forward to hearing from all Galway posters when decisions go against ye in games and especially a close game..have a look again at the full game and see how many actual frees limerick genuinely conceded not what they were blown for..I'll ask ye then to have a look at frees Galway should have conceded..we are talking about how supposed rules have changed for 2021..looking forward to getting a right crack off ye later in year..also James Owens likes Galway big time,the same man who found just under 10 mins injury time in 2018 to get them back into match..I also don't think all commentators and analysts are all wrong..

If you keep hitting lads in and around the head with hurls and hands you're bound to concede frees. Fairly simple really ...

I didn't see the game so cannot really comment on the simulation/diving that's being mentioned.

However, where I do agree with Kiely is why did they have to change the rules. This new advantage rule has made a dog's dinner of our great game. If it wasn't broken, why fix it? Jackie Tyrrell is of the same opinion as Kiely: https://www.hoganstand.com/Article/Index/316992

Why are they trying to take the physicality out of the game? I've plenty baseball to watch over here, without making hurling into it as well.

Kiely asks who are these people that sat down and made these changes. Who indeed?

My own suspicion is that it is to facilitate Cork. Cork don't have the physicality to win an AI in the modern game. That's been obvious for a long time now. Cork has the speed, skill and flair; everything else bar the physicality.

Headquarters fear that the game is going to be lost to rugby and soccer in Cork City. That's something that's well documented. If Cork go twenty years without winning a title, and it's approaching that now, hurling might slip away in the city, and never come back.

CP needs Cork to win an AI soon. It would rejuvenate and regenerate the game in the city. New heroes, like Sean Og, JBM, and Ringy would be created.

Taking the physicality out of the game, would I believe, be of greater assistance to Cork than to any of the other hurling counties. I cannot think of any other reasons at all for bringing in these new rule changes.

Unlike in football, there's an unwillingness amongst hurling commentators to call out foul play for the dirt it is. There was nothing 'manly' about the dirty belt Hegarty gave Joe Canning last year despite Shefflin saying it didn't merit a red.

You can blame James Owens all you like but Limerick also gave away a load of frees against Tipp. As Wexico said earlier on this thread, it isn't rocket science to cut out the fouling. Or the lack of discipline which continued at the final whistle e.g. Diarmuid Byrnes.

Ye will soon learn to stop fouling then! If you foul then guess what !! It's a free !! Ye do the most fouling and have done for the last year or so a lot of it is tactical, Kiely just wants everything his own way he was lucky in a few games last year that his team finished with the full amount. Shane Dowling said that Limerick play on the edge so when you play on the edge you have to accept that this will happen. Ask any hurling men or women are they happy with limericks hand passing game and tactics which in my view is the real scourge on the game!

If we are that did you see the clip of a hurley Tuohy pulled on Hegarty's helmet yesterday. Right in front of Owens and the linesman and no free.
