myboyblue can now rest assured that O’Moore Park will be free for the mullockers to plough it up next week.
Cunningham is a gent.
Bit of a joke if they make Dublin and Tipp supporters pay 80 lids again.
+1. Absolutely. He’s had some year against the black and amber. Some banter there with him and Cody.
Desperate game. Shefflin should have put Galway out of the diarrhea infested misery. Penalty decision was one thing but he missed two point chances after that he would have tapped over in his peak.
Thought all the Galway defenders bar O’Donoghue were good. Particularly Collins and Coen. Tannian was immense. But today was the day they should have ended that KK team and management.
Shefflin particularly in a 15 min spell after half time showed huge leadership. Tyrrell and Hogan improved hugely but Galway collapsed up front. Bar a shocking defensive mix up Galway would have been beaten far earlier.
Thought both management teams have a lot to answer for. Galway’s shape in the second half up front collapsed and left David Burke on to the end beggared belief. Galway don’t have too much on the bench evidently either. Cody team set up was poor and I’m sure KK supporters will be wondering how some of their players lasted the game.
To be honest despite that I think Galway should really win the replay. That was the worst KK side I’ve seen in a final I think. So many of them have little or nothing left in the tank but heart and even at that it should have got them over the line in the second half.
Liam Sheedy is right. That was manly stuff.
It was exciting but bar Cannings goal the quality was shite.

Ah here.
Galway looked jaded in the second half. They were giving Kilkenny the space they need on their own half-backline and it changed the pattern of the game. You just can’t let up against Kilkenny. If they start to sit back again instead of pressing hard in the opposition half for the whole game they’ll fall away in the third quarter again in the replay.
Tannian and Smith had great games I thought.
Desperate game? Ah here.
There shouldnt be anyone to lay a hand on Tannian for MOTM. Henry had a great second half, and others had patches, but Tannian moved ball on all game and wasn’t bested much or at all.
Tyrrell the ape cost Kilkenny.
Yeah all this shite about Michael Fennelly. FFS he hardly touched the ball. Shows you how really shit Tipp were.
Any replay of the free at the end? It looked soft enough.
Will Michael Rice make the replay?
Wasn’t his hand meant to be in smithereens after that Tipp knacker flaking him?
Definitely. Thought glennon jumped into the back. Kelly had a good game overall though.
Not a hope. Won’t play again this year. The knuckle was shattered and tendons badly damaged too. Filthy blow from Maher.
[font=Arial]Both senior and minor replay finals will be played at same times as today on September 30[/font]
Clare McNamara afraid of getting the “Marty” treatment from Cody so fails to ask him about his acting the ape on the sideline at the end.
