Ya I'm struggling to see why some supporters are giving out too. The claim he played too long at the end of extra time is wrong as there was a number of stoppages after the game went into the 3 mins The only talking point I had was cannings first sideline. I thought it was a clare free but other than that I thought he gave a good performance tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 29/07/2018 10:57:17 2127196 Link 0 |

Didn't read or hear any sports news anywhere, no? Replay set for 2pm and the football is on at 3.30 so can they not possibly show both? Anyway, it doesn't take a genius to work out that RTE will be showing Donegal v Tyrone live. Bravo for shoehorning us into a hurling though, good sir ;) xx

Peter Duggan's score was one of the all time great scores, yet another spectacular game of hurling. Well done to both teams. Hurling is the only thing keeping the GAA alive yet again, hurlers show how to play the game & get on with it, real men. Hurling really is showing up football for the absolute sh%te that it is. Watching footballers now a days feigning injury is sickening, some of them are actually worse than Neymar, it's now no better than soccer. Thankfully the hurlers have not gone down that road yet. Looking forward to the replay. Uimhir.a.3. (Galway) - Posts: 409 - 29/07/2018 11:00:14 2127199 Link 0 |

In a normal fair system he is but it doesn't work like that unfortunately

Not a bad Kilkenny team at all... Other's have caught up. Hurling way faster, more skillful, and more physically demanding in last 3 years. But credit to the KK team in their time they were the true kings.

I'm not a fan of a sweeper but I've no doubt he was the main reason Clare turned the game around. I'd go as far as saying it was nearly as heroic as callanans semi performance from a few years ago. Duggan was my second choice. His point was simply out of this world. The reason I'd give it galvin over him was that he took the wrong option and got blocked down a couple of times. He was been a revelation though since the league began. He has it all. I've felt galvin has been not his best this year but yesterday he was unreal. Conlon got 4 points and yet if he had a decent pair of boots he could've scored about 1-8! My tip for man of the match next weekend! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 29/07/2018 11:11:02 2127205 Link 2 |

The Lightning Seeds? David Baddeil? You sure you weren't whistling to yourself " It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming, Football's coming home"? You being a Dub.

Galway's long range shooting and hand passing were a bit off yesterday. That said Clare were very unsporting coming out late at extra time. The ref was really nice to them if you ask me. Cute hoors are the Clare men. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 29/07/2018 13:52:17 2127254 Link 1 |

Until the current Galway team learn to put teams away when on top and put multiple back-to-back All Irelands together, they can't be compared to the Kilkenny team of 06-15. The current Kilkenny team is a shadow of that team, easily the worst of the Cody era, they did well to even bring Galway to a replay.

Who's comparing Galway to that team? We'd need to do at least a 3 in a row before any talk of that sort could be entertained.

After last years nonsense I'm not sure why people even talk about Hurler of the year any more!

If I was a Clareman I'ld be happy with the ref too.

I think anyone looking at the referee objectively would be happy with his performance. Probably would not say it about him in the past but if he has improved, willingly to give him credit. It takes two great teams and a good ref to get this level of game. Again to day in the second semi. The ref did not decide the game. Not far behind yesterday's refereeing.

He gave Clare a bunch of handy frees. Podge fell over for point 1. Kelly dived to draw the game. Mannion was pulled for a fair shoulder. He ignored a jersey tug on C.Cooney that would have buried Clare at the death, and gave Clare a free at the other end within 60seconds. Galway are on the periphery of 'hurling country' and have struggled with southern referees for years. Plundering in Leinster lately is doing nothing for our 'relations' down south either possibly. Minors bury 'the Leinster champs' yesterday, and are not welcome in the Leinster championship. A Laois referee & his officials were the largest 'stumbling block' recently in Galway's u21 Leinster championship win, at the first time of asking. Galway fans are not deluded about what James Owens did yesterday.

As a neutral, I thought the referee was great yesterday too. I think the amount of decisions they get right, in such a topsy-turvy, up and down the pitch, is admirable.

I hope there's a different ref for the replay. I won't badmouth the man but I just hope there's a different one.
