Replying To thelongridge:  "Wexford must be getting under Kilkenny's skin. 3 defeats in the past year, Kilkenny lost their composure on and off the field yesterday. Interesting to see if Brian Cody will get a ban for his behaviour, refusing to leave the field when asked by the referee, and then sitting just 2 rows from the pitch."
It would be absolutely ridiculous if a ban was even considered. He protested a little bit more than necessary perhaps but he did leave the pitch as ordered. Unless he said something derogatory to the officials (and he is too smart to do that) he has no case to answer.

Well he must have said something derogatory,or why else send him to the stand?

He didn't go when first asked by the referee, stood there defying him, like a stubborn child. Not a good example from a retired school principal. Has to set a good example, win or lose.

have any of you read what Cody said about the incident? I wonder was I at the same match as Cannuck? he might also explain what playing on the edge means,

Mooncat I agree that if Wexford players are going to continue with trying to get players sent off they will lose a lot of respect. With regards playing on the edge. Kilkenny players are as tough as nails and will often be judged as crossing the line a little. I am not suggesting dirty but some may.

I didn't see what happened but well there is probably 2 sides of the story, and the truth is what the linesman saw.
Can we not all just enjoy what was a great afternoon of gas entertainment. I didn't care in the least if we won, if Wexford haven't set their sights higher than that then there is something wrong.
Kilkenny are well able to hit after the ball as the shoulder into Chin's chest showed.

I would also add, I have never seen Kilkenny supporters so up for a pre season tournament in January. Given all their success, it amazed me.
What is the story with all the booing, ironic cheering when a free is awarded, etc? It is going on for a few years now. Do Kilkenny need to learn the rule book now that it is being enforced and they don't like it?

Will be interesting League and championship matches between these two! From a neutral perspective it's great that we should have a competitive Leinster cship. Wexford and KK will certainly be a sell out again this year
More importantly great to see the Hurling season is back!

if you cross the line you should have a free given against you,I know you can miss things at a match as you follow the flight of the ball,but to say a player ran 30 yds to hit Chin after the ball was gone is a ridiculous statement,there was a late tackle,I am not denying that but it was not a run from 3o yds,and of course there is no mention of Chin kicking a KK players hurley up into the stand,supposing it had hit a spectator,

Who mentioned play acting?who mentioned a helmet being pulled off as play acting,who even mentioned the helmet incident or tried to say Reid shouldnt be sent off,was kicking the hurley up into the stand play acting,look there were fouls committed by both teams,considering the day that was in it was a great game and if we have more games like that on a dry sod we are in for a great year of hurling,nobody is mentionin what was going on when the 65s were been taken

well be our guest and enlighten us!also cody was complaining

""One of our players got sent off and I merely said to the linesman that he was being mauled and dragged, which he was....." kilkenny have got away with that for years.

there was no sense to kicking the hurl into the stand.

no mention of the playacting you were talking about or who was play acting,I think the complainers here werent even at the match,they didnt notice that when the 65s started the 2 teams stood together as friends and hurling men,respect for each other,no respect from some posters,

well it is pretty disrespectful to come on here accusing wexford players of play acting and getting players sent off when someone was hit off the ball and the linesman seen it,isn't it?
we all know a dig of a hurl hurts and there is nothing manly about it.

I repeat again I did not accuse any Wexford player of playacting,what are you on about,show me where I used the word playacting in relation to any Wexford player

i was wrong,i guessed somebody was hit off the ball and he was sent off for interfering with the helmet,that is awful play acting alright......he wasn't the only Kilkenny player who should have seen red for interfering with the helmet.
and the picture of eanna martins head spouting blood speaks for itself

Players also lose respect if they rip off there on faceguards in an attempt to get there marker sent off which a waterford player did against Wexford 18 months ago

Time to move on lads. The Walsh Cup was last week, it was a pre season tournament with no relevance for what happens from here on.
Let the action before the real action begin!

How did the Wexford player get away with the slap of the hurl on a Kilkenny player in front of the linesman umpire looking straight at it he didn't put up his white flag to get the refs attension the player had to go off after it. Kilkenny couldn't get a free last Saturday if they paid for it if you are enforcing the rule book do it for both teams Pat Lyng was fouled three times under me never got anything. It was bad out of Chin throwing the hurl up in the stand if it had to be a fine day he deserved to get a shot in the chest for trying that.
