Official 2012 All Ireland Hurling Championship Thread

What happened there with that throw in that lead to the goal?

[quote=“Watch The Break, post: 682711”]Tomás Mulcahy brings the part of ‘condescending wanker’ to a whole new level.

He’s quite fond of the phrase “that’s the beauty of hurling”. Apparently one of the beauties of hurling is that important decisions have to be taken on the sideline if your team is in trouble.

Offaly looking comfortable enough now. A bit more quality in taking scores the main difference.

Wexford’s lack of ball winners in the middle third hasn’t helped them, they have won very little of their own puck outs today

Wexford haven’t had the stomach for a battle at all.

A team could hit twenty aimless balls in a row that lead to nothing, and if the twenty-first one works Mulcahy will immediately declare that this is exactly what they have to do, hit the ball in and don’t mind this ‘elaborating’.

Elaborating means passing the ball to one of your own players it seems.

Bullit of a free from Guiney.

Great to hear Mulcahy referring to the first half period there

We’re always hearing about inconsistent refereeing in football. We rarely hear about it in hurling. Yet the inconsistency in hurling is worse. You regularly see tackles that should be frees allowed. Yet referees are just as likely to penalise nothing incidents. Offaly got at least one phantom free in the first half but a blatant push in the back on a Wexford player in scoring range went unpunished. The incident which led to the free where Guiney hit the bar was a blatant free and the referee got it right. Yet Mulcahy was claiming that it should have been a free out for overcarrying. There aren’t really any firm rules, just one man’s interpretation of what “the manly spirit of hurling” should be. In football, referees at least make an effort to apply the rules.

More naive defending again from Wexford, lucky not to concede a goal

Offaly doing a Limerick on it here.

Wexford needed Jacobs to point that

hon wexford to fuck

He will surely go for goal

will he or wont he

Offaly shooting themselves in the foot big style the last ten minutes.

Bergin hands it straight back to them when he could have gone forward into space.
Madness from Offaly.

Why didn’t Eanna Martin come and take that free out, the wexford sub that hit it bearly drove it 50 yards

Guiney should have taken his point. :rolleyes:

He should in his hole. :lol:

Good rally from Wexford. They were out of it until they got the goal though. They’ve plenty of good hurlers and they played very nice hurling at times, but they’re way too light for the time being. You’d expect them to go well in patches but they won’t compete for 70 minutes against any serious side.

He threw it in again there towards the end.

Ollie Baker is a fabulous orator
