The Hurling Thread

If you said around mid March that Cork would have Dublin in a semi final and Tipperary in a final you'd be classed as crazy.

Tipp seem to have adopted the Cork mantra of goals win games. 11 between the two of them in the semis. The final should be a cracker....

Final will be a mad shootout Tipp have nothing to lose they never expected to be anywhere near Croker this year…

The two best teams in the league are the last two teams in the championship. When you put it like that it sounds a lot less surprising.

First one was definite yellow!

Second was debatable but reckless with the hurley.

He’s a great prospect but Lord is he making it hard for himself but should never have been sent off today…will be a big blow for Tipp as he has goals galore in him…

Tipp will fancy their chances. Will be huge hype in Tipperary.

I got talking to a good few Tipp people after the match and they were hugely critical of him but also Liam Cahill for not whipping him off.

You'll never convince me O'Donoghue was going for goal.

have another look

I think O' Donoghue was going for goal. Maybe he knew they had a advantage so it was a free hit, Murphy will be very disappointed, just took a step in the wrong direction at the wrong moment but it was a great shot. The scoreboard/final score farce needs more investigating-this from the examiner- btw RTE did not have it correct until well after final whistle. That point put Tipp 4 up, KK had time to level with points if it was not a score.

There was confusion over the final score in Tipperary's All-Ireland semi-final victory over Kilkenny.

The scoreboard in Croke Park - and the tally on RTÉ - had Tipperary victorious by 4-21 to 0-30. However, that Tipperary tally appears to include a late Noal McGrath point that was waved wide by the umpires.

It is unclear if the signal was incorrect and the score was good, or if the Croke Park scoreboard was incorrect.

The match officials, including referee James Owens, were seen conferring for some time on the field following the final.

RTÉ's have since confirmed that the final score of 4-21 to 0-30 is correct.

He’s got the quality but you have to question has he got it upstairs but as you say maybe Cahill hasn’t handled him well either..Obviously someone had him worked up into a frenzy to be sent off within 30 seconds down The Pairc …

70 mins on the clock, draw game, AI semi final, on the 21, surrounded by 4 defenders, best full back in the game infront of him, best goalkeeper in the net, shot just below the bar… he was 100% going for a point.
