Completely different situation when Loughrea face Ballygunner in the All Ireland Final!!"
But you'll still be hoping that Loughrea win it, won't you?

Having the lad red carded at the end is a blow to Loughrea. They should appeal it. Serious mistake by him. But hopefully they can rise above it regardless of any appeal.

If it was a serious mistake by him then why should they appeal it? Camera didn't seem to pick it up but commentator certainly spotted it and his tone before card was shown indicated that player was in bother. Huge loss for Loughrea, hurled well today but Ballygunner look hungry to be regarded as a great club side and need a second All Ireland to be considered that

There was no strike & it will be appealed. I'm sure Rogers will be involved in the appeal

Why were they not playing? Injuries? Are they both starters?

The commentator Mac Dara Mac Donncha, didn't certainly spot it. He was none the wiser like the rest of us, but said Johnny Murphy must have seen something. He was following the play when whatever happened occurred. Likewise his co-commentator.
The only comment made was that Killeen didn't protest too much, but he looked in shock more than anything.
The truth is, neither you nor I know what happened, unless you were at the game and happened to be watching them off the ball.
