To resume the rant at half time showed he was badly rattled.
It’s hard not to conclude that was the winning of the match.

Tis lucky Hogan dived or no one would be talking about anything from yesterdays famed Munster Championship encounters.

You should have told him the LOI games normally take place on a Friday night.
That’s wonderful. Furious arguments in the crowd at GAA matches which make people’s faces turn into tomatoes are part of what we are.
I still remember a Meath man clambering down three rows on the upper deck of the old Cusack Stand to batter a Laois man at the 1991 Leinster football final. He used my thigh as a stepping stone and he definitely clattered his knee into the shoulder of the person sitting in the row in front of me.
Great times.

Is there anything to be said for a high powered GAA task force chaired by Tiernan McCann?
A committee is one thing but a task force, now that’s serious business.

He didn’t get a man sent off last week.
No wonder you ran into the pitch
Lads seem to be glossing over the fact that Hutchinson was correctly booked for hitting Hogan on the elbow.
But the incident should never have come about if the ref had blown for the free a few seconds earlier when Hutchinson clearly grabs Hogan’s Hurley in frustration as Adam for the umpteenth time in the match read the play better than him and attacked the ball first.
Could easily have been a double yellow card

Did Hogan get a little owwie on his elbow?

Anyone who has ever inadvertently banged their funny bone will attest to the short term pain of it

From what I saw it was the best man marking job ever done on Hutchinson.
Does it knock you off your feet?

The only thing funny - or hilarious even - was Hogan’s embarrassing dive for which he is correctly receiving widespread ridicule.
I thought open slap to the bicep. Innocuous and hardly worth the reaction.
Was it bicep or elbow?

It can do yes. I gave a big bear of a full forward an innocuous enough tap on the elbow last year after the ref blew his whistle and I let on I didn’t hear it and he was doubled over with the pain of it*
If it happens at junior level in Dublin then it can surely happen at I/C level.
*Turns out he had a pin in his elbow which made me feel bad for a couple of seconds.
Had dessie rattled from the start.
But thats a distraction from the point being discussed in the thread- theatrics and diving
The video on Twitter was definitely in the elbow area. Sure limerick lads wanted Tony Kelly sent off in a league match for a similar loose Hurley to Adam English albeit it caught his helmet
Never heard the “Funny Bone” defence wheeled out before.
