I do agree that the punishment for being sent is a joke. If Kyle had gone a straight red he would have just the Westmeath. Sean Foley got six months off all hurling activity for an incident that probably looked more intentional than it was. The present penalty is a joke.

Christy Ring was 'coaching Cork teams on how to carry the ball as far as one could and get with it almost fifty years. He always reckoned Leinster Refs were more lax in applying the rule. It is only a game and al the good teams will get away with anything they can.

Ah relax a bit there. Jesus back in the 80s up in Galway there wasn't a thistle to be seen in the fields with all the wild pulling going on!

As the south east prophet would say (Derek), sure twas only a tap. All joking aside, he should have been sent off - no argument here Shocs07 (Limerick) - Posts: 374 - 28/02/2023 08:52:57 2460858 Link 1 |

It might have been better for Hayes if he had of been sent off. He could get a longer ban now.

Rules in all sports get bent all the time OTM. And that was always the case!

The game was so flat, lacked any intensity. I believe Henry is giving lads a chance against Limerick to see what they are made of without being carried by Whelan and Mannion up top. I'd be more worried about our game plan. In the first half our backs didnt seem to have the ability to deliver quality ball to the inside line - Henry loves the two man inside line which needs quality ball. In the second half with Whelan and Concannon on we just resorted to just launching it up there without even trying to pick someone out. On the other hand Limericks delivery was brilliant, worst nightmare for a corner back. hurlingfan90 (Galway) - Posts: 19 - 28/02/2023 10:40:15 2460895 Link 1 |

The overcarrying seems to be tolerated more this year for some reason..I agree every team seems to be at it..Hayes has been mentioned as one who is doing it..have a close look at some of the bigger more physical players and they seem to be more guilty..I noticed it with Lyons and gleeson for Waterford,hegarty and Dan morrissey in limerick,David fitzgearld clare..of the slighter group jamie Barron does it and mannion in Galway..I've even noticed with a lot of keepers now aswell that they seem to be holding ball longer in their hands while looking for space or a loose player..cork,Tipp and killkenny all have players doing it..

No, it could never ever be rugby, as no player on a rugby field has a 3-foot piece of ash in his hand. Please try to refrain from making such ludicrously illogical comments from here on out.

I've a feeling that Henry's 'love' of the 2man inside line would depend on the 2men in there, and how they're looking. He'll hardly be sending valentine cards to McManus and Cooney, based on the Cork and Limerick games, I'd suspect.

The two incidents are completely different but in any event two wrongs don't make a right. As for coverage if RTE really wanted to highlight indiscipline they could have replayed multiple incidents involving Gillane, Hegarty and now Hayes, all of which were missed by the referee and none of which were defensible, some were just downright filthy. Those decisions in Championship have consequences - would Clare have beaten Limerick in Munster if Gillane was sent off for example? Probably not. Its enough to rightly frustrate other teams and its not the first time its happened. LarryOBrother (Wexford) - Posts: 412 - 28/02/2023 11:35:42 2460916 Link 1 |

Explain how it would be longer. It would be a one match ban either way (if done or the day or retrospectively).

Cyril was making the point, hit it where there's no one. That's what Limerick did last year, pull the half forwards back, leave space in front of the full forwards and play diagonal balls that favour the forwards. The same space was there for us to try and utilise but we didn't even try. Galwayspur (Offaly) - Posts: 233 - 28/02/2023 12:22:27 2460925 Link 1 |

Haven't you enough to be worrying about in Wexford instead of talking about a minor incident in a Limerick match.

How about diving to get a guy sent off, or digging the hurley up under a guys face guard and potentially breaking his jaw. Or swinging a hurley across his face guard or whacking it across his back or shoulder.. I've seen the off the ball attention that Hegarty especially gets every match and I'm amazed at his ability to keep his cool most of the time, in fact when he did get sent off against Clare it was disgraceful behaviour from Clare players play acting that brought it about. The aforementioned Limerick hurlers are no angels and Hayes deserved a red card on Sunday but this holier than thou ******* as if they were the only ones who ever did anything wrong on the pitch is ridiculous. skillet (Limerick) - Posts: 1104 - 28/02/2023 12:54:50 2460939 Link 1 |

I wouldn't get drawn into any argument with other counties..we are top of the pile,everything and anything will be done to knock us off that perch..most counties would love to be in the limerick position..the holier than thou thing I laugh at,cos every county has player(s) who cross the line..

Because there is enough people talking about the hit, there were other points in the game besides the hit. Yes it was late, off the ball and cynical....happy?
