Munster hurling final 2019

Brendan Maher is excellent but they probably missed him from the half-back line too and again, I thought Gillane did fairly well.

Set up one goal and really should have finished his own chance- too fucking high again.

Was Ronan Maherā€™s challenge on Casey really all that bad?

Granted Casey came off far worse given the size and strength difference between the two and the fact Maher came from his blind side but it was an excellent flick and he was somewhat entitled to follow through with his momentum. I thought Duignan and Canning made far more of it.

Oā€™Dwyer has regressed as a referee.

He gave phantom frees to both sides, made terrible decisions against both sides and missed blatant red cards. Iā€™m always suspicious of refs who try to be too pally with the players.

Fergal Horgan suits Limerick the best, heā€™s consistent if nothing else and letā€™s a lot go.

Go to your private group iron Mike. My mole was telling me he never saw such a shower of nutters.

Thought on the couple of views I saw there was a deliberate lift of arm at end over and above the momentumā€¦bit hard to know on angles they showed

From my vantage point, it looked awful, looked high & dangerous. I havenā€™t seen any replays of the incident though.

Looked like it alright ā€¦

Would have said the same but I havenā€™t seen a replay of it yet.

The phantom frees thing is a killer. A heap of them yesterday.

Also it seems like Paudie Maher is reffed differently to every other player on the pitch. Barging doesnā€™t exist for him. Thereā€™s no limit to the number of steps he can take. And if he falls down it is automatically a free.

Red card to me anyway

Mulcahy caught him nicely yesterday and probably should have walked for it

People are well on to him now and realise that pawdee goes down faster than a cheap hooker

Looked to me like he dropped the shoulder and followed through, he didnā€™t need to, bad enough, couldnā€™t argue if he got red.

The ref gave a free against Maher yesterday and was talking to him and some lad roared out from the open stand ā€œare you apologizing to him ref?ā€

He got a few very soft ones yesterday.

Think there was less intent than Dunne. Dunne had no intention whatsoever to play the ball

They did, and they also missed an option to move him into midfield when the two boys there were stinking the place out

Ah there was yeah. But it was the first thing that came to mind.

It warranted a free and definitely a yellow anyway
