I found it an intriguing enough game. I tipped Waterford before today to reach the final but can't see them doing it without de burca now. Wexford have improved no end but can davie out two years back to back? tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 23/07/2017 21:17:41 2022054 Link 0 |

I dunno what was worst the decision to send off DeBurca or Tyrell and O'Grady backing it on the Sunday game. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 24/07/2017 05:16:31 2022212 Link 0 |
Why are people claiming it was a bad decision? It happened literally right in front of me as I was pitchside and it literally 5 yards from the linesman. Kehoe checked de burca to stop him making a run down the sideline and de burca reacted by grabbing him by the face guard and pulling the face guard off him. Kehoe had to get a different helmet as de burca had actually broken the straps and he couldn't strap it back up. It may be a harsh rule by the letter of the law it's a red card all day long. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1351 - 24/07/2017 09:44:03 2022274 Link 0 |
There is nothing harsh about it, the rule is there to stop neck injuries. Plenty more should be sent off for it and it'll soon stop. Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 24/07/2017 10:28:00 2022320 Link 0 |
Terrible game. Painful to watch. It's not the players' fault though. Seeing so many misplaced passes demonstrates exactly what hurling purists have been saying forever: it's insanely difficult to be precise enough to play that type of game, especially when your forwards are always outnumbered. Maurice Shanahan's last point summed up the failure of the whole short passing project. Leathering the ball down the field with 15 on 15 is the only way to play hurling where there will be an actual contest for the ball. It's natural to hurling. That's why it's the best game in the world. Stop tinkering with it cos you're ruining it managers! HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 24/07/2017 12:33:37 2022491 Link 0 |
