All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019 II*** Up Laois

Surely Horgan got MOTM today??

If itā€™s based on the first half only. Alan cadogan was better than him.

They should leave the three of them on the bench and their greatness will be made more apparent - like what Kiely did with the Dow.

That was Cadogan

Cardigan missed that chance after 4 mins.

Iā€™m beginning to think you didnā€™t actually see the game now?

He flaked no one, a wee tip of the hurl, nothing the Tipp lads werenā€™t doing all day long themselves. Ref was on message though, sent off Laois best player and even threw in a nothing peno to boot. Wonder how much he owes Sheedys bank

Cadogan was absolutely brutal for Fennellyā€™s goal.

Tough on Horgan to be both from a losing top 6 county

Huw was bad for the 3rd Horgan goal

Horgans 3rd goal was absolutely out of the top drawer

Dowling was unfortunate heā€™d only John Allen In 2013 and John kiely In 2017. They made it clear to him he needed to improve his fitness imo and in fairness he did. Iā€™d say heā€™s been the most talented limerick player hurling wise since he came onto the squad every season bar maybe the last two. If Dowling was in the condition heā€™s in now for his whole career heā€™d be remembered as one of limericks great forwards and probably one of the better forwards of the last decade. You could probably add a few more to that list infairness. It should be noted callanan was dropped in 2010 when tipp won the all Ireland.

And he scored 9 (nine) points from play when they won it in 2016

Ur wrong, you probably didnā€™t see it on tv

Could Nash have done a bit better for Richie Hoganā€™s goal?

The finish went straight down the middle, Nash went down early and made it easy for Hogan.

Youā€™d expect a top keeper - an Eoin Murphy, an Enda Rowland, a Mark Fanning or Nickie Quaid - to save that.

A turkey shoot. Heā€™ll thrive in one of those alright.

Barring a Tour de France by any of the remaining keepers , Enda Rowland could well get the all star keeper .

I see a lot of praise for McDonnell. While TJ didnā€™t score from play, he was still very influential. Won a lot of frees and caught a few balls at big times in the game. Laid the ball off for a few scores too.

I suppose heā€™s a very hard man to curb and McDonnell should be praised for that, but McDonnellā€™s use of the ball himself was pathetic; how many times did he pick out a Kilkenny man in yards of space with a clearance/pass?
