Poor game, fair play to Wexford for getting a draw, probably the fairest result.

It wasn't a fair result - Galway were much the better team but stupid wides, complacency and very poor refereeing decisions by the ref giving into howls from the home crowd got Wexford a draw when they should have been comfortably beaten.

Are you having a laugh? Honestly now. Have a look at the replay for the Galway goal and count the steps. Have a look at the replay for the first ball that landed on chin and tell me that's a Galway free. Galway can take a lot from that game but the ref being up for them isn't one.

Yes, Galway had ample opportunity to win that game. But, let's not be getting anywhere near "poor refereeing", please. The ref was very consistent for both teams.

If anyone complains that the ref was bad today, then pick up the whistle and do the job yourself.

Great reffing, today!

All in all, not a good game of hurling. Especially if this is an example of the quality of hurling in Leinster.

The match was, essentially, decided by the referee in overturning a free to Galway in added on time (for time wasting), and awarding a free to Wexford.

The decision was correct, strictly by the rules, but how often do you see it given? Especially against goalkeepers.

But, bigger fools Galway, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

The first ball that landed on Chin was picked straight off the ground by him. Then he over carried.

I'd agree with Tommy, Galway were comfortably the better team. Wexford got very lucky.

Joseph Cooney should have got the line, your right there-ref bottled it. Poor decision from Galway to play a raw 19 year old up front on his own.

Yes the same fine player and one of the greatest full backs ever but has put in succession of poor games in the cship at both full and centre back. Are you saying he has been all star standard the last two seasons?

Replying To foreveryoung:  "Glad I stayed up for that. I don't want to say 'bad', but two bad teams produced a great game…ironic!

Galway shudda walked out by 10-15 points. Whelan? Hope he's okay… great player!

Wexford? The heart and the passion never dies!

Great game, for me (neutral)."
Stayed up? I thought you were living in the US! I think you've been found out! The match was on at 8:30am on the west coast and you are supposed to be on the east coast!

That ball was never picked off the ground I watched him with my own two eyes flick it into his hand and then watched as 3 Galway lads hung out of him. Bad enough listening to Galway lads say it but to hear it from a Wexford man beats all.

Will you stop. Watch it again if you can. It was physically IMPOSSIBLE for him to have picked it up with his hurl in the position he was lying.

Replays clearly showed him picking it up off the ground with his hand.

It doesnt matter whether a lad is from Wexford or Galway it was as clear as day that it should have been a free to galway.

He threw the ball in, he didn't award a free to Wexford.

Rory O' Connor was constantly fouled, pushed in the back numerous times and no free.

Wexford were bad today but Galway shot themselves in the foot and have only themselves to blame.

" I watched him with my own two eyes "

Maybe you should put a hand over one eye, or go and have an eye test.

Think the ball definitely picked off ground,and yes he did over carry..however this thing of goading after winning a free is terrible..Galway have only themselves to blame,by far a better team but never put the game to bed..last free given away was terrible from such an experienced player.ive said I don't think Galway will get away with mcinerney and Burke in same team anymore,havnt got pace anymore..Conor whelan looks as if he might be in trouble,huge loss if out..both counties have room for plenty improvement..the draw today makes for a very interesting leinster hurling championship now..

Watching the game I recorded it. And it only reinforces what I thought pitch side. Thought the ref left a lot of fouls go. It was only as the 2nd half went on that our lads wised up to this. Galway played like Shefflin. On the edge. 5 or 6 Galway lads booked tells its own story.

He was. If your earlier predictions go to plan we will get out of Leinster at least.

We didn't get a free. Ball was thrown in.

a point in Wexford Park is valuable enough. Limerick would not be too concerned
about what they saw today.
