Kieran McGeeney has never beaten a top 3 team in his time as IC manager ranging back to 2008.

Maybe Henry should have sent them out against our lads.

A word on hurling a referees.Hurling is a. brilliant game and we ve had some cracking games this year but alot of refs are ignoring the rules.Refs are listening to too many pundits.Refs get great praise when they ignore the whistle and let the game flow.Because of this its very hard to get a free in hurling.Yesterday in the first 5 minutes it was frantic with players pilling jerseys dragging eachother pushing and no free given.A foul is a foul and frees should be given for a foul even if it slows down game.I also have long highlighted the "handpassing".Now tbf the ref yesterday pulled a few but as Michael Duignan said the majority of passes in hurling now are throws.The game is brilliant and excoting but either change the rules or adhere to them.

Refereeing is an impossible task these days but I thought both refs had decent games. You can always point to a few issues though and no ref will get it 100% right. I was perplexed at why Gordon did not play advantage to us when SOD had the ball with only 1 man (who was on a yellow) to beat. The game yesterday was littered with throws and is was crazy to think that Cork were punished more from it when clearly Limerick were at it more than Cork. Cork also got a yellow card after what looked to me like a dive by Diarmuid Byrnes late in the second half. LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2679 - 08/07/2024 12:00:46 2557665 Link 1 |

Knowing your lads get the jitters against the stripey men, MD should have sent out the camogie team in the Leinster final! Big mistake!

A stunning riposte! Did you think of it all by your own self?

I recall three contentious balls called as throws over the weekend that on replay all looked to be hand passes - the Kilkenny one in the first half (given as a free to Clare and a point), the Cork disallowed goal (potentially a big swing), and Gillanes one in the first half. When they slowed it down there seemed to be a striking action in all three while in real time they looked like throws Clearly, players are doing it so fast that its impossible for refs to tell, and at least in some cases balls that look like they are being thrown are actually not. Its a great skill and important to keep the game moving. If players cant get ball away play slows down, more rucks and more pulling and dragging, more frees. If they try to change its important they look at slow mo replays and talk to the players to get a handle on what is really happening before they change the rules Yadse (Limerick) - Posts: 57 - 08/07/2024 15:22:38 2557721 Link 0 |

Riposte! The Irishman with a biteen of French to give the impression of intelligence and some learning! Your patronising question, however, lacks subtlety and French flair.

I think in the case of a goal being scored as a result of a questionable hand pass VAR should be used. It would only take a few minutes, would give the players a well needed breather and would also take some of the pressure off the referee.

You haven't congratulated Clare yourself either. So how about you lead by example....

One of the best hurling games I have ever seen. The standard of hurling and some of the scores from both sides was ridiculous. Thought the referee did well overall bar the dodgy calls for the handpasses. Limerick not finished yet. They will be back as good as ever again next year. Aaron Gillane is the best player in the country. aidan64 (Kerry) - Posts: 668 - 08/07/2024 16:12:24 2557745 Link 0 |

John Meyler was on a podcast today denouncing VAR, saying it interrupts flow of game, and has destroyed rugby.

It is very hard for the refs in a spit second to know if it is legit. These commentators and analysts need to shut up. Stating that lots of them are missed all the time (probably are) with the benefit of replays. So are they saying the ref should not call a hand pass that he sees are illegal because he did not call a one he did not see ? Why are things so difficult to make easier ? An open hand, remember it is called a palmed ball. Separation between the ball and hand with the elbow visually moving back. Call them all until all these criteria is met an is obvious. Let the players make sure they are not going to be called by doing it right. I agree use VAR or else ban all replay rights to t.v. Its one or the other because referring by t.v. sets the ref up for failure the next day as he is human when viewing this later. Do coaches and managers set up their players to fail ?

First, I would like to sincerely congratulate Cork on a magnificent performance on Sunday when they overcame the current all Ireland champions by 00-02, Limerick will be back next year for sure so too will John Kiley he is a young man with too much to offer to walk away from it at this stage, let it be said he is a gifted man who brought hurling to a new level, the ease of his post-match interview with time for a couple of natural smiles and a grin on his face said a lot. Clare overcame luckless Kilkenny by the same margin 00-02 however Clare were worthy winners, I have a feeling like Limerick Kilkenny will be back next year too. A few pages back I gave my views on both games along with who will be the ultimate winner so I'm not going to change my views on that forecast. Commiserations to a gallant and sporting Limerick squad. Cuhullain (Kildare) - Posts: 285 - 08/07/2024 19:04:43 2557812 Link 1 |

LRH I had a clear view of Eoin Cody's' illegal handpass, it looked a throw all day, however it was perfect on playback so How you be so sure Limerick were throwing the ball.

Maybe we should bring back rule where you can drop Hurley to hand pass
