m&w is seething, understandable all things considered.

Not seething pulling up bluffers that don’t understand hurling is quite relaxing actually. So why are you whinging about someone from another county getting sent off?

@flattythehurdler

As regards the straight red, harsh maybe, but you don’t get to play a senior all Ireland final unless you know exactly what you are doing with a hurl. It looked innocuous enough but so did the flick that broke Michael rice’s finger at first viewing. Like Roy keane might put it, he gave the referee the option of sending him off. I reckon the red was the cumulation of a series of incidents, mainly by the offaly defence who were robust enough. It was an aif though so they were maybe right to do so, but they can have few complaints. They scored little from play.

I would agree that it was a very poor All Ireland Final, of that there is little doubt. Currams loss was fatal for KK but credit them for struggling on manfully. The team that defeated Rath Errill a few months back didnt strike me as a side that would contest an All Ireland final at the time so credit to them for a magnificent season.

But KK draw every last ounce out of themselves and play a hard tackling, high intensity game. Those saying Thomas’s didn’t play well but still won may technically be correct but they aren’t acknowledging the workrate and application of KK. They’re not like the Offaly teams of old in terms of being full of swagger and style and that’s why their man attacker Currams was so sorely missed. They play with aggression but I don’t think they’re a dirty side and Thomas’s actually did very well to maintain their composure when they went two points behind to come through at the end.

A broken elbow? I must Har missed that injury, he seemed fine afterwards. Your footballers are less than special, it was embarrassing to see how poor Galway football has gone, there was no enjoyment in it. And to correct you Dublin beat Laois by a mere 2 points last year. Please desist from posting any further on these matters, your lack of knowledge is irksome.

You don’t come from a gaa county. No success at either code. Please desist from posting on gaa matters.

I respect fair play and encourage our games to be played with the correct spirit and manliness, the sending off went agains our great game and saddened me. I can speak about anything I like, that is my right as a fiorgael.

Yes kk play a high intensity game and fair play to them for beating thurles and getting their. But the terrible shot selection and execution by Thomas’s today was their own fault.

It’s a mans game. It was a mere clip. Your anger and ire is misdirected and unfounded. Laois put Galway football in its box yesterday thats all you need to know.

And I can challenge your opinion. It’s my right as a fiordiscussionboardposter. It was a strike and that’s a red card. He couldn’t have given a yellow card for it. No whether a ten minute black card measure would be more appropriate is debatable.

A pivotal moment was slevin missing that 65 , his first miss of the afternoon. Turned the tide just a little. I thought tommys did well indeed. Not a day for champagne hurling but I enjoyed it immensely. Well done to both.

[count_of_monte_crist]

+1, Boxty can go fuck himself, hon the Rossies.

You can go and fuck your own self MBB…Cometh the occasion cometh the man. The rascal Dolan beautifully side-stepped the flailing traffic, side-stepped a lunger and off his weaker left launched the winning score…

All hail Frankie Dolan…
