All Ireland Senior Hurling Final 2013 - Clare v Cork

To be fair he pulled across Honan’s head - as obvious a red card as you will see. That it happened so early in an All Ireland final meant the ref/umpires were reluctant to send him off.

“The ref ruined the game with the early sending off.” :rolleyes:

Why did Gavin give Clare time to equalize? Time was up.

I see Boyles and Powers both have Cork and Clare at evens for the replay. There’s no way you could say watching that game that the teams were evenly matched, Clare were clearly better, although that’s not to say that Cork didn’t in the end deserve to draw. The question is if you believe that Cork just didn’t show up today and will be a totally different proposition next time then there’s value in the evens. If you believe however that the real Cork were just shown up for the most part by a much superior side then the juice is obviously with Clare. Not sure which conclusion Im leaning towards just yet would need to watch it again.

Another man ignorant of the rules.

Some posters making themselves look very silly alright @Sidney , please continue in you’re efforts to educate them.

Oh really? You must have access to different camera angles that weren’t provided on today’s live TV coverage because I didn’t see the Clare man smash the Cark lad across the head with a hurley.

Lets not worry about what might have/not happened. One of the most bizarre and unusual games in history will be played again. It’s not the end of the world.

Corks fitness levels kept them in it. Clare didn’t miss

No Take Your Point with Damien O’Reilly tonight. :rolleyes:

Instead we’re treated to a “Championship Special” with Brian Carthy, after the All-Ireland Hurling final ended in a draw, “Cork 3-16 Clare 2-19”, after “Patrick Hogan” had put Cork a point up in injury time.

So failte, and Brian is talking shite, you’d have to say.

Nicely self-clamped, Kev. :clap:

A classic backtrack.

This is absolute shite. I want Cork and Clare hotheads ringing in to complain about the referee.

Who will ref the replay? Surely Gavin won’t get it.

Johnny Ryan possibly, especially with Barry Kelly presumably out of the equation?

James Owens.

Johnny Ryan will get the replay.

If Clare could score goals they might be the best team I’ve ever seen to watch. Fantastic hurlers.

Clare will have played 8 matches in this championship. Is that a record?
Add in the u-21 games for some lads, and that’s some motoring this summer.

A clinical goal poaching FF (which Honan looked like he was going to be a couple of years ago before the injury) and Clare would be some fucking team.

An Uactarán saying that it is a Sat game for sure and likely an evening throw in.
