All Ireland Final 2’19 - Kilkenny v Tipperary, a Traditional Final

Sure they can’t even pick the ball up off the ground.

One of the worst finals in history. The second best team in Munster against the third best team in Leinster. A shambles of a format.

Shit match but I have enjoyed watching Cody take a bad beating in the AIF, especially knowing it’s mostly his own fault.

It’s obviously very easy to win All Irelands in hurling.

Intent I don’t know and can’t know. Dangerous play, look there are fine margins in the game sometimes. Very little between a great block and a rap on the wrists sometimes. Nobody seems to mention that Barrett changed direction completely at the last minute, which Hogan can’t have predicted. A yellow no doubt, a red, not for me. You could argue all day about it, I’ll leave it here though.

Even John Mullane is finding this hard work on the radio. Probably the worst championship of all time

Tipp are the best team in Ireland this year, barring the one off day they’re very worthy champions

You’d feel very sorry for Brian Cody. A great hurling man.

Proof as if we didn’t already know it that Cody was being carried along on the shoulders of a once in a lifetime generation. Anyone would have managed those players to a skelp of All Ireland’s

The Mick O of hurling.

Be nice to see Coach Gavin erase Mick O from the history books in two weeks.

Tour de France by Seamus Kennedy today and John McGrath has given a very selfless display playing deeper in the half forward line.

Rules and the actual foul easily allowed for a yellow. You don’t send off a former HOTY in an All Ireland Final unless you have conclusive open and shut evidence

The 16 men of Tipp have overcome the 14 of KK

KK have massively over-achieved in getting to the final. Cody’s last great achievement may not be another All-Ireland, but by somehow keeping them near the top long enough for a new generation to take over.
