Galway v Clare

Owens has reffed the last two Galway matches and gave us nothing. He didn’t get the memo, O’Dwyer did.

ya. apologies late tackle there. Didn’t read it right at all.

I’m still half shook

Ok I can tell you’re on an emotional/alcohol comedown. How Limerick won should not matter a jot to you. Enjoy the win.

Apology accepted mate.

My apology is akin to the one I give my Mrs when she’s on the rag and quite clearly wrong.

On the pretend Rag?

Look, you’ve made a show of yourself and i’m willing to let it go but you keep digging in… it’s not a weakness to admit you were wrong… going back through loads of old posts to try back up some silly claim on the internet shows greater weakness, especially when you do it 15 minutes after your original post - which shows how desperate you were to be seen to be right.

Who’s the ref for the replay lads? Whoever it is needs to clamp down on this free hand in the tackle, leading with the forearm and generally the arm high around the neck. These are fouls that need to be punished as it hugely takes away from the quality of the hurling and if the ref isn’t wise to it it gives the offending team an unfair advantage

I made a point about how I felt the ref helped Limerick. You took terrible offence for some reason. You have let emotions/substances cloud your judgement and opinion. I merely provided you with a doctor’s 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th opinion and yet you still scream “There’s nothing wrong with me”.

I merely pointed out that Cork equally benefited from some poor refereeing decisions but you wont have any of it, which is very bizarre.

Can you point out the instances you felt where the referee helped Limerick?

Why are you so sensitive about the ref helping Limerick get to extra time? Embrace it. Surely ye should be grateful. I’d take a 50/50 bias from a ref at this stage.

I’ve admitted that Limerick got soft frees - you cant admit Cork got the same.

I must drop into Pat O’connor for a few on the way back from Limerick this evening

yeah, there was a lot of it in the drawn game, i thought Galway were bigger offenders in that regard( please note this is not a personal attack Galway posters) but after seeing KK get away with it for so long it’s hard to be too begrudging of implementing it…

The English are gone Bull

:joy: I take it, as a kk man, you’re being facetious.

I said Limerick wouldn’t have got to extra time without the help of the ref. Neither would they have got there if they hadn’t nailed every chance they got in the last 7 minutes, both were contributory factors.

Agreed. Galway are very proficient at the half foul pull / tug / grab / hold and release barely in time to avoid free concessions. They’re a horrible team to watch and, I Imagine, to play against too.

Hopefully we’ll learn from the likes of Clare who were exemplary in their tackling the last day. An incredibly disciplined performance from them in the first half when they didn’t concede one free in their own half and 2 overall in 35 minutes.
