The analysis of the weekend's epic hurling entertainment on last night’s Sunday Game generated plenty of reaction on social media…

I don't understand hurling anymore listening to these lads, there must be a master's degree course somewhere that we don't know about 🙄

Ah lads, can we get some serious analysis here rather than a skewed history lesson on @TheSundayGame. 🙈🙄

Donal Og and Derek McGrath waste 10 mins of @TheSundayGame pontificating about hurling philosophies and ideaologies. Joe Public would prefer if you just raved about the exhibition of skill and manliness that we saw today.

Maybe against grain but couldve watched that @TheSundayGame panel analysis for hrs-British Imperialism apart 😉 Fantastic insight,well presented & discussed. Ppl using fancier language doesnt mean theyre trying to show how smart they are.Same way extra man not always a sweeper 😀

What a performance from all the lads...💪 Down to 14 for 31 mins the heart & passion was out of this world. Congrats to Liam and all the management team. Going to be some build up to this final....💙💛

2 outstanding All Ireland semi finals. Thanks to all our amateur players for what you keep on giving. There is no game like hurling and no need to over analyse it. Heart, guts, determination, conditioning, decision making and coolness under pressure still all crucial. Thanks lads

Disappointing result yesterday for limerick lads but can’t fault a single person. They have been immense for the last 18 months and brought us on a incredible journey & should be super proud of themselves. Looking forward to next year already #luimneachabú

Hurling changes all the time new systems come in as do set ups sweepers 7th defenders goal keeper quarter backs crowded midfields 2 in the full line whatever but refusal to accept defeat & spirit & heart & work rate to the bitter end are the foundation!
Brian Cody’s Kilkenny 👏🏻

Phenomenal @KilkennyCLG performance from start to finish..Deegan, Padraig, Mullen, Wally and Colin were outstanding but TJ was a different level today his work rate is insane #makesitlookeasy

Fucking savage performance. From the first second to the 75th minute .... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Everyone maxed out and played there role. Some men

Very proud to be Kilkenny people tonight. What a fantastic display from our brilliant team and management. 👏👏. pic.twitter.com/JaQHGY8WqO

100% - hours and hours of blood and sweat dedicated by players for the last 9 months for officials to miss a blatant deflection. That is the definition of amateur. Shocking. 😳 https://t.co/dyeDOYXizN

Gaelic Games are superb sports to participate in, coach and watch. The standard of the games today across all codes is exceptional.
Unfortunately the lack of leadership and direction around the calendar, officiating, funding, etc sells the membership badly short. #chronic #legacy
