Hahaha, oh stop funny cos it's true. He is brilliant at refereeing the games to the rules which is not a given with hurling referees. A good example is not sending off Hanbury for spear tackling Callanan in the process of conceding the penalty last year. Although it was dangerous play and stopped what would probably have been a match winning goal, had he sent off Hanbury it would have have been wrong cos the geniuses who write the rules don't allow for a red card in such situations. So Kelly had to flash a yellow card or he would have been marked down by the referees assistance. I am not bitter about it though, c'est la vie, Galway outplayed us and deserved their win. He gave us a chance to win the all-Ireland when Brian Hogan charged into Maher. That would be a reason for Kilkenny not liking him and the free to tie up the 2012 final.

Did he also send off Henry Shefflin against Cork in 2013?

Yeah we all know Kilkenny don't care about another team having a lead , look at Galway in last years final and this years leinster..and not to mention waterford. Good start counts for F all against the cats , if anything it just seems to piss them off , probably easier to catch them on the hop

He most certainly did. I left that one out in the last response so I wouldn't have to read a Kilkenny poster coming on telling us how much he/she hates Kelly.

Or maybe you " left that one out" because it was a terrible decision (which was rescinded after an appeal) and didn't fit in to your 'What a great ref Kelly is' eulogy.

Thanks a mill for proving my point. Sheflin deserved to walk that day for late clumsy tackles bourne out of frustration for not being able to make a positive impact on the match like he was accustomed to for the previous 15 years. He should have retired in 2012 after the amazing displays he gave in the finals, especially the first day when Galway had Kilkenny beaten If you bothered to read my previous comment you have seen how complimentary I was to Kelly even though Hanbury's spear tackle stopped Callanan scoring a 4th goal.

Hard luck Galway. Another game that is bad for the ticker. When we say we know exactly how ye feel right now we don't exaggerate. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 14/08/2016 18:12:54 1900876 Link 1 |

Galway shipped some really heavy tackles, especially Joe Canning. Tipp lucky not to have man sent off. Also a lot of over carrying by Tribesmen. Once again bad decision making on sideline by Galway. When will they learn to keep their cool in the last 15 minutes. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2520 - 14/08/2016 18:50:11 1900904 Link 0 |

I thought the two fowards subtitutions made with about 5 minutes to go, changed things for the worse. The never won anything up front after that. That said, I was impressed with Galway and thought they were going to win it up until near the end. Galway and Waterford could easily have been contesting this year's AI, the two semi's were so close.

Proving your point? What point? "Sheflin deserved to walk that day for late clumsy tackles" So why was his red card rescinded on appeal? Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2478 - 14/08/2016 19:47:35 1900936 Link 0 |

Sent off for what a shoulder to shoulder on Joe ? Get a grip lad, good game of hurling but not great, ref did a good enough job.

Canning should have been kept on the edge of the square where he could do real damage, the free role was a mistake. Hope Joe makes a speedy recovery and hope to see him and Galway back on their feet again soon...Gaillimh Abu maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1197 - 14/08/2016 20:01:29 1900948 Link 0 |

Wouldn't have a massive issue with the tackle other than it was a free to Galway. Shoulder to shoulder? How did both go off with blood injuries to the head if it was shoulder to shoulder?

In fairness it was with only 5 mins to go so expecting them to make a huge difference in 5 mins ? The mistake was not bringing on subs earlier as some guys were not in the game at all & left in for nearly the full game, that beggared belief. Tipp were poor today with one tactic that they never veered from all day & it never worked, poor tactically but they did make substitutions earlier like O Dwyer & they made an impact but were brought on early enough to do it.

It was the helmet that caused the cuts, heads are bound to bounce around with a heavy shoulder to shoulder tackle, it was a perfect shoulder to many refs blowing up for these tackles when they should be clamping down on steps and the tackling with the hand across the chest.

I hope Canning makes a swift recovery he took some heavy tackles, surprised he played on after the first as both clashed heads as well as shoulder to shoulder which just shows how heavy the tackle really was. It was a great game, very exciting, well done to Tipp and desperately hard luck to Galway. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4897 - 14/08/2016 21:19:57 1900991 Link 0 |

Hard one for Galway to take. I felt they were the better team in general play and were perhaps a bit unlucky with how things panned out with the badly times injuries to Canning and Tuohy, who were both having good games. If Canning in particular had been on the pitch in those final few minutes, things could have been quite different. Hope Joe gets back on his feet soon.

I won't get into it too much because again I don't feel it was that big affect. But your logic makes no sense. Either it was a perfectly timed shoulder to shoulder or it wasn't. If they clashed heads then it wasn't shoulder to shoulder, to it was shoulder to shoulder and head to head. So it was a foul. I don't think helmets flop about that much the ones I've seen are fairly rigid.

I don't know why players are allowed modify their helmets? Kilkenny and Tipp faceguards in abundance today, and yesterday. They are dangerous as the edges protrude out too far. The Tipp goalie had barely any bars in his helmet at all. valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1890 - 14/08/2016 22:28:08 1901029 Link 0 |
