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

All fair.

Colin Fennelly could in theory do damage but Limerick will line up with 12 or 13 players in their own half as usual so space will be at a premium.

In fairness to them I think they were the first to release prices yesterday evening so donā€™t think it was a case of making a statement. Probably havenā€™t taken a whole lot on it yet but as you say the price wonā€™t last long.

It was a harsh red, but players know they canā€™t swing back like that so it was very foolish from Dunphy.
I suppose if you were on the hurling field, you would have been able to stay standing upright after getting that slap you tough man. Then again, Iā€™d be surprised if you were ever on a pitch, bar for a few pitch invasions

Have you got a clip of yesterdayā€™s incident pal? I havent seen it

Heā€™d a couple of bad wides in first half. Think heā€™s an awful hot nā€™ cold man that wouldnā€™t make the first team for most of the top counties and instead be an impact sub

I didnā€™t see it myself until TSG last night.

Iā€™ll try watch it back later and iā€™ll come in here and lambaste the fuck out of Paudie regardless :+1:

Here ya go. Listen, Paudie has taken bigger slaps than that, but I donā€™t imagine too many people would stay upright after getting it. Even if he did, by the rules, it was still a red. Twas the Limerick linesman who spotted it by the way

I think thatā€™s a harsh red as Iā€™m not sure he particularly meant to do it but it would be a very painful strike

Iā€™d agree with most of that, although he wasnā€™t swinging the Hurley idly about and Maher walked into it. I donā€™t know if he intended for it to have as much contact or indeed any contact

Is Paddee ok?

Heā€™s absolutely fine mate.

Ah he was never fine, but nothing was broken?

Harsh - think he was falling and just stuck the hurley out but caught him right on the knee ā€” Could Paud have just taken a knee tho instead of rolling around the ground ā€¦ Jesus , now that iā€™ve watched it a second time thatā€™s outrageous carry on from Paudie - look at the angry look on his face as he shove Dunphy away - real big man stuff ā€“ and then gets a little flick on the knee and he rolls more times than Neymar - Dunphy was blackguarded there.

Embarrassing by Maher. It was a tap with the flat part of the bĆ”s. Shameful stuff actually. Whoeverā€™s playing them in the semi final and final have been forewarned.

It was as bad as Rivaldo in the 2002 World Cup vs Turkey

Nothing broken, thanks for your concern.

It was a miraklus recovery as he was running around seconds later. Cowardly theatrical stuff, his calling card at this stage
