Every expert on the Sunday game bar again the Kilkenny ones have said the ref had no option but give a red. Shefflin and Tyrell obviously played with Hogan and their partiality went out the window.

Tipp cream their pants when they beat KK it's the nature of local rivlary. It's the highlight of their year. Let's see this Tipp side do what they haven't done since 64/65 and put two titles back to back.

Comerman wrote: » And another fact is that Barrett caught Richie straight on in the face with his hurly enough to draw blood , or was that an accident? The connection with the hurl on Hogan’s faceguard ,was a swipe but cannot excuse Hogan going in full tilt and connecting with elbow,watch the replays!!!
