Is 6'2"-6'3" really considered short? Think they're going to have to demote Henry to Prince Henry down in KK. TJ just seems to be getting better. Playing a role like Eoin Larkin did post '08, but still scoring huge #'s while setting up more. Gowran_Yank (Kilkenny) - Posts: 96 - 10/06/2019 14:26:43 2192931 Link 0 |
Totally agree in regards to the sin bin. Cynical pulldown should be a yellow and 8 to 10 mins in the bin. Very simple solution and it avoids the overly harsh black card which refs wont use as they know it's basically a hammer to crack a nut. Non of the sendings off yesterday were correct. Murphy stood his ground, no if ands or buts. Not a free or yellow. Hansbury but the Hurley over the mans shoulder..not a clothes line tackle. Ridiculous really... And Awlward...please...his supposed retaliation wasnt a retaliation. He ought not have reacted bit his reaction was mild enough. Overall Cody is right...should be no reds in hurling....and wouldn't be a need if we have the sin bin. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 10/06/2019 15:33:20 2192990 Link 0 |
Murphy didn't just stand his ground. He put his arms out to stop a player running on to the loose ball. If he just stood there, he wouldn't have blocked anyone. He knew exactly what he was doing and had racked up a number of fouls before that also. The second yellow was well earned at that stage.

Your last line is the key to your first one. Galway contributed to Reid having the game of his life by not delegating a man marker to stick to him leech like. Also -- incredibly -- a number of puck outs were directed his way...... in the first half anyway. Wexford will close him down considerably on Saturday and he will be far less effective imo.

Kilkenny have to be the worst losers in the game. just because ye didn't lose for a decade doesn't mean ye are the kingpins of hurling. Delighted we bet ye now..! ha clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 425 - 11/06/2019 08:18:47 2193318 Link 2 |
Just wondering because Ive seen it a few times....where has 'Hansbury" come out of? Its Hanbury....there's no s, never even heard it anywhere outside of GAA or anything pronounced with an s The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 704 - 11/06/2019 08:38:44 2193326 Link 1 |
I already said on this thread that Galway deserved to win, it hardly negates my point about the haphazard and arbitrary nature of referees' timekeeping in hurling and football.

Kilkenny are whinging about every referee, every day. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1723 - 11/06/2019 15:24:35 2193535 Link 3 |
Neutral commentators on various media have also questioned the referees time management at the end of the game and also highlighted the Galway cynicism, not as an attack on Galway in particular but that the punishment dished out to such cynicism often doesn't fit the crime.

Im not 1 to complain about ref decisions as some go your way some dont over 70 mins and Galway were worthy winners of a great game Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 11/06/2019 16:31:17 2193572 Link 0 |
Well sure why don't the neutral commentators go out and referee then, if it is so easy? Would those neutral commentators be running from 70 yards down the field, making a decison at pitch level or would they be looking at it on TV? I'm fed up listening to GAA supporters complaining about referees. Every Sunday all you see or hear is the referee dogged us. Kilkenny are the worst supporters in this regard, sorry.

With all due respects the only complaint on this thread from KK is the injury time played,you dont have to be running up and down to the field to lose track of your watch,there were no complaints about the refereeing of the match,your statement that KK are the worse supporters is completely wrong,go back to the start of this thread and read what neutrals said.

Kilkenny supporters are an awful whingey bitter shower would be my own opinion. God forbid somebody should try mark TJ Reid or hit Wally Walsh a shoulder every now and then. The Cheek!

Wexford fans going on about Kilkenny being the worst losers, and they've got the Ayatollah Khomeini of bad losers as their manager. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 12/06/2019 08:28:08 2193797 Link 2 |
I disagree, Murphy had already been warned by the referee on five separate occasions following his first yellow, so the ref had no choice but to give him a second yellow, likewise Hansbury's challenge was dangerously high. Definite sympathy for Aylward, but the other two were correct. Some people on here think you need to leave the field on a stretcher before the perpetrator gets the line, which is just macho bulls**t.

I pity Wexford in next game, the wrath of Cody is coming to town. KK are traditionally very physical, look at the legendary Tommy Walsh, many a red not given to him that should have, he was some hurler mind you. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1189 - 12/06/2019 10:16:46 2193828 Link 1 |
TJ wasted most of that time himself, spending 2mins or so placing the ball for his free. I thought KK were 2 points up at time, the carry on of him, and not two points down. Why didn't he clip it over quickly, instead of wasting 2mins at it.

No it can't, but this time he blew over 2 minutes early. Complete BS.

4 minutes was announced. Ref blew on 4.15. End of story. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 12/06/2019 14:21:39 2193951 Link 0 |
Think thats fairly spot on. Sin bin would sort out alot of the cynicism without putting a man off for good via black or red cards. We d have more goals too as last man defenders would either not pull someone through on goal down or be absent for 10 minutes meaning more space for the attackers.
