All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (Liam McCarthy Cup) 2021

Galway really needed that goal.

blackcard

18 steps from Whelan, admittedly he was being fouled

Has the commentator mentioned that Whelan is the vice captain this year?

ArielAtom

Only the 15 steps taken for the goal😉

He was on an advantage

Swaine

More Canning wides. He is costing them this game. Utter failure from management in not taking him off frees.

TheMilkyPirate

I've never seen canning shoot like this

TheMilkyPirate

Pathetic shooting

Doesn’t mean you can take 15 steps.

And?? Being given advantage doesnt mean you can foul the ball.

Put Niland back on the frees FFS.

This is a s**tshow.

9 scores and 14 wides.

A simple LF for whoever wins the other game if Dublin limp through this as they can't even pull away.

TheMilkyPirate

Now

citykat

First dive of the day from Cooney

blackcard

That goal makes it slightly interesting for the moment anyway

Same old story whenever we play Dublin.

Make them look better than any other team do.

ShamoBuc

Awful defending by Galway, no one marking for the goal well taken, 5 in it.

Swaine

Niland on the frees now but could be too late. Canning hitting 9 wides before there was a change. Farcical stuff.

McInerney at centre back for Galway a big weakness.

formerlyET

I guess all the analysts will be saying now that Galway are old.

The White Feather

It's weird as both teams are trying but it doesn't feel like a Championship match even at this stage

Mantis Toboggan

Galway are just so far off it it's unreal

1-11... a bad football score.

Comical decision to blow for steps

Huge problem. Shouldn't be on the team

JJs Left Hand

Is this the worst game ever?

The decision making by everyone is incredible

Just as I read that, the galway player does a sideline that goes straight out!

I'm sure they will think of something. I'm loving this the rhetoric that the Leinster final was decided already to be a league final as well was nauseating.

It’s only a ****e game if you’re a Galway man, or maybe just don’t like Dublin. If Galway come back to win it, it will be great!!! Dublins work rate has been unreal.

I'm going for Dublin to surprise Galway like 2 years ago.

Game under their belt. Moving well.

Think Wexford might shade the next one for a novel Leinster final.

Mantis Toboggan

Canning has had a shocker

ACitizenErased

A lot of people had Galway as one of the All Ireland favourites. After that, you'd wonder.

formerlyET

Too many scores and points in the game...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

External Association

Galway lack of respect going for those early goals. 'We're going to steam roll you' attitude.

Mantis Toboggan

Galway like a team that were out on the town last night!

ArielAtom

The team that wanted that won it.

I'd agree. Not a classic, but I enjoyed the game as much as any of the 60 pointers. Dublin brought a proper battle to Galway and fully deserved their win.

Some very silly stuff from Galway particularly trying to engineer low percentage goals with easy points for the taking.

External Association

Kilkenny, 2006-2009 could bury you in the first 10 min by going for the jugular with goals. But very few teams have that ability. Galway game plan backfired.

Very hard to know if they'll regroup for the qualifiers. A lot of key players pushing on.

formerlyET

Dublin were the better team - a clever performance from Dublin in lots of aspects, on the line and on the field.

Great team goal - class finish from Crummey.

Limerick will win it again this year, complacency is probably the biggest danger to them. Galway will flatter to deceive again, they might at a push win Leinster, but, wouldn't bet on it.

I posted this a few weeks back when people were saying Galway were Limerick's nearest rivals, it's one thing I've learned following Galway is that they nearly always let you down. A bit like Mayo in the football, when things go against them they're not capable of turning the tide. Fair play to Dublin, they have a good chance of winning a Leinster title now

External Association

I've a feeling Kilkenny could be Limerick's biggest rivals. There's a consistency of performance from them.

Still I don't know if a KK 2019 performance is enough to beat Limerick now, they've learnt from that.

I've a feeling Tipp have too many core players around 32 years old now. Great players but post peak.

Waterford, Clare, Cork so unpredictable. Interesting to see what Wexford are like now. They can't be as bad as last year at any rate.

External Association

In 2019 when Dublin beat Galway, to knock them out of the championship, Laois in turn beat them. Shows how much of an implosion there has been in Laois.

External Association

General question.

KK v Galway minor all ireland 2020 in Portlaoise next Saturday, will any number of the general public be allowed in? A few hundred, none?

fair play Girly Gal, you got it bang on

with the exception of Kilkenny very few if any of the Liam McCarthy teams carry the strong favourite tag comfortably, Galway of course take it to a another level

I've been hoping for that final pairing for years. Would be very disappointed if it happened this year without a packed croker.

Fair play to Dublin, Really wish I was a betting man

The qualifiers will be full of heavyweights
