All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

It's me, Imeall an cearnóg Bobby

It's quite plausible that several (most likely not all 40) of the KK team were not aware of the correct score throughout all of injury time. None of the RTE team, some of whom would have has access to replays etc, were aware of it. Yes not one of them corrected the score at the end or before news of the referee's correction filtered through several minutes later.

It is quite likely that several players on the field, most likely their backs and goalie, were aware of the mistake. But in the panic of the game's dying moments, who is going to try and (1) stop the referee to clarify it or (2) ensure that it was communicated to every player?

My point is that this error had a hugely material impact on the outcome of the game. It's probably unprecedented, it's not the same as the Meath Christy Ring score error or the timekeeping error in Offaly Clare semi. But it had a massive effect. Maybe there's nothing in the rulebook to automatically force a replay but was there in the two incidents referenced here.

In my opinion it definitely warrants an appeal. Kilkenny just need to find a good barrister!

Real Dan is a Tipp man. He has spent most of the last 5 years trying to troll the Limerick thread.

In most GAA stadiums it's someone independent. Part of the sane team as the announcer. Croke Park might be different as it's a more "professional' set up.

Kinda related I was wondering earlier the season why Limerick had no big screen for the Munster final when Thurles does. Is this down to the local board or something similar ?

Wouldn't be happy but at end of the day we would have lost by a point and i for one would move on and think the tipp camp would just like the Kilkenny camp will.

Have both managers not already said they did not know the score in the stadium was wrong....so in theory you maybe right but in practice you fellas needs to work on his communication skills.

From rte website.

"Speaking after the game, both Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng and Tipp boss Liam Cahill confirmed that they thought the difference had been three points at the final whistle."

Good to have input here from someone privvy to the inner workings of the Tipp backroom team. But strange that none of them told Cahill the correct score.

Nope, they just get spread far more thinly in Cork as far as I know. Last year a club in Clare got multiple times the amount of tickets as a similar sized club in Cork.
Open to correction but I’m pretty sure each county gets the same allocation and it’s up to them to distribute them as they seem fit.

Well AFAIK the more clubs in a county the more tickets the county gets. There's always a bit of pot luck with club draws etc but it's a guaranteed full house anyway.

A number of years ago we had friends claiming to have no tickets for a final the week of the match. Turns out their brother in law was the GAA president at the time and low and behold they had front row seats in the tier just above the presentation area in Hogan Stand. Yet were fishing for tickets the week of the match.

That man is no longer the president but they still get very good premium tickets so all living presidents must get alot of tickets.

It’s 800 according to that post I replied to. And not sure if you’re being smart or not, but I’d imagine the amount of people who are/were in the Ard Chomhairle or former presidents is far lower than that amount and they get multiple tickets each. I’m not against that at all but 800 seems to be a very high figure.

There would be uproar. I think it's legitimate for Kilkenny to be annoyed it happened though not to blame it for their defeat, if anyone is doing that.

Think those that have pointed out what happened if Doyle isn't standing on the line are making an important observation. This is certainly not the first time the score has been incorrect for a period of a few minutes, we've seen it plenty.

But up until now, people didn't really give it a second thought because there was time for it to be corrected and it duly was.

Now, the importance of having strong controls in place to prevent this issue late in came has come to the fore and the GAA need to act decisively on it because while this one was regrettable, if a team drew to find out they lost or either team won by a point there would be a huge issue.
