Galway V KK

Commentary on RTE is absolute rubbish. The poor audience is watching a completely different game to these two caricatures in the commentary box. My god tgere are two teams playing a solitary pount between them and the gushing from the box towards Galway is nauseating. Sound is off now!

Battle of the free takers. Whoever scores a goal can win the game.

Super sideline score from Joe a few minutes ago.
I would award 2pts for a sideline score. Some skill...

Tight game now but the cynical carry on is crazy. Hogans goal was truly sublime.

Water break used to great effect again...
Cats down by 4pts and looking beat, and then come out and win by 2pts in the end.

Ya but why did the ref not allow advantage for niall Burke catch when his hurl was pulled and then give yellow? Did he even give a yellow card ?

A lot of the hurling people say we don't need black card cos we better than football etc but it's foils like that that show us there should be a black card in hurling. KK saved a bear certain goal with little punishment. Cynical fouls should be punished. End of.

Strange day for hurling, indeed. Both Cork and Galway looked very likely winners coming into the last quarter and both will be wondering what happened. Biggest surprise was probably the decisive nature of Clare's win over Wexford. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe we read too much into Galway's easy win over Wexford. It seems the Slaney men are nowhere near last year's level and it will be interesting to see whether Davy will stay on.

The play should continue and if no score comes is brought back, just like rugby. It is extremely frustrating as a player to have worked an overlap and then the whistle goes. Let the play continue until the opposition get the ball.

Galway looked a little bit unfit to me. Goalkeeper and defence were at sixes and sevens for the 2 goals. Also we lacked a good full forward.

Goalkeeper a liability for Galway.Lucky not to concede a second Richie Hogan and third Kilkenny goal.

"Going to bed Heartbroken." Well, it is your username. A good game of hurling, in bad conditions. It could have gone either way. Galway are still in it. They have a week to regroup before they play Clare or Tipp.

Hurling definitely needs a Black Card introduced.
The cynical stuff is on the rise by a lot of teams.
