Was the throwing of the hurley at Lar Corbett a sending off offence? It could have caused injury.

Congartulations to Tipp yesterday, a fantastic display and a deserved victory and even though I support Kilkenny you have to take your hat off to Tipp and the way they went about their buisness yesterday. Pity some people like Thurlesblues wouldn't show some respect to a Kilkenny team who were fantastic champions and set the bar high and made Tipp work to the level they reached yesterday, "training match".

Well done to Tipp ,great performance.I was in the lower Cusack and really enjoyed the match.I thought the Tipp supporters were like a 16th man in the way they urged their team on right throught the game, no wonder they played with such fire!

I dont think Kilkenny have any strength in depth it is a myth. If they had they wouldnt have risked Shefflin as Cody had no one to replace him. Meanwhile in contrast look at what Tipp could spring from the bench 4 points in 4 mins from the subs. Now thats what I call strength in depth!!!

the reason that Tipp have such an advantage over Kilkenny down through the years is because they dont take any messing off them and they are the only team that can completely close them down , open them up and bury them with goals

Yes a red card should be shown.
If it had hit the player going through and he missed his goal chance I guess would it have definitely been a red card.
Refereees out there please clarify this scenario?

What a tremendous game of hurling! The intensity was incredible. I was completely drained after the game, the players of both teams deserve massive credit for their performances. We got the goals at crucial times, and our bench made a big impact. Fair play to the cats for never giving up and making us pull out all the stops. So happy that a fellow Mullinahone man lifted Liam! It was a great day for hurling and a great day to be a Tipp supporter.

I said that Kilkenny wouldnt have a hope of coming within 7 points of Tipp in the final and I was right.

I based it on the fact that Tipperary are a far better team than they were last year and some of ye thought they had regressed. They are also way ahead of Kilkenny in terms of speed and class!

Tipp didnt care about Munster and peaked at the right time this year. Also Kilkenny were not tested all year. It also proves that Tipp should also have won the All Ireland last year only for the robbery as they were also a far better team than Kilkenny last year and Michael Wwadding did a tremenduous job as a ref and must be complimented as Kilkenny got no dodgy penalties on Sunday!!

It seems to have flown out of Tommy Walshes in the league final 2009 too when he threw it at Johno!!

Yeah, why risk a 7 time All Ireland winner, 9 time All star, and all time top scorer. You're right KK had no one like that to replace him and just checking through the Tipp subs there wouldnt be anyone with that sort of CV either. That said Tipp had the better of the subs on the day.

Thats records now show 10 titles to Tipp against Kilkennys 5 in the last 15 meetings between them which shows that Kilkenny have a one in three chance of beating Tipp in an Aall Ireland final. We all know who the home of hurling is now!!

We all saw from the hash you made of the bettin odds that you're a bit shaky with numbers so try this.
How about KK have made the last 5 AI finals
Tipp have made 2 of the last 5 AI finals

That means KK have 100% of the finals and Tipp just 40%. So by my reckoning its almost certain KK will be in the final but less than a 1 in 2 chance that Tipp will.
