Of course it was a penalty because it was given. End of Story, KK won the All Ireland (rightly so) and nothing will ever change that.

I do think however that is is fair to point out that it was an incorrect decision and was a key turning point. In exactly the same way Meath are rightly Leinster footbal champions this year but you can understand Laois people feeling agrieved at the incorrect decision. It is a part of sport that these things go against you and you have to accept it, however it is only natural to wish the incorrect decision was not made in the first place.

I assume you are not arguing that the decision was correct or we have a different discussion!!


Anyway I am fairly sure Henry would not have gone for a goal at that stage from the 21 yard line but as you say it doesn't matter because it didn't happen.

Hopefully there will be every bit as good a match this year and both teams do hurling proud again.

Of course he thinks it was the right decision
the correct decision was a free out for Tipp after richie power took about ten steps with the ball, surely all the rte panel and commentators cant be wrong as none of them are from Tipp and had no reason to be biased

ThurlesBlue can i ask how come you dont post on your own county pages?? I just logged on to the Tipp page and i havent seen one post from you there?
Surely the best place to post is on the page deciated just to Tipperary where you can talk all day long about the great Tipp team of the 60's/70's.
There may be one slight problem though, most people on the tipp forum prefer to live in the present not in the past.

Tipp have won 6 of the last 8 final encounters between Tipp and Kilkenny (1937, 1945, 1950, 1964, 1971 and 1991) with Kilkenny's wins coming in 1967 and of course in last year's thriller.

thurlesblues (Tipperary) - Posts: 4475 - 17/08/2010 16:59:49    748492

I've been looking at the hoganstand.com forum for the last 5 years and always use it as a good sense of what genuine GAA fans think of what is going on the GAA world (mostly the hurling world though). There are some really knowledgeable fans on here and its always great to get the opinion of fans across the country. however in the last couple of months the majority of the hurling posts on here are being destroyed by thurlesblue. A genuine debate is turned into a non-sensical rant about Tipp hurling from decades ago or the fact that the McCarthy cup is returning to "the home of hurling" this September.

As I see it Tipp were very unlucky last year with a dubious ref decision. However by right Tipp should have had the Kilkenny team killed off by the time the penalty was given. In the way that this was a flaw in the Tipp team, it was also a testimony to the resilience of Kilkenny to hang in there when they weren't playing well. Tipp will have learned a lot from last years final which will stand to them this year but as will Kilkenny have learned from playing Tipp last year. Kilkenny also look stronger than last year while I don't see a huge improvement in the Tipp team. Even so it's going to be a great final and I obviously hope the cats win it but won't begrudge Tipp if they win it, they'll have earned it no doubt.

Now can we have some proper debate??
