Was in Limerick yesterday for the match, the tunnel made it handy enough to get into the gaelic grounds and i actually got into the woodies carpark and parked literally across the road from the clare end terrace. The way home was a nightmare though, tipp town is screaming out to be bypassed. If the munster final is on in limerick the traffic on that road will be alot heavier than yesterday too.

If he is I'd say a few of the rest of the panel will be scratching their heads in disbelief. It's difficult to see any inter county manager allowing this to happen three weeks out from a provincial final.

DiscoStew wrote: » Strange decision alright. And the player in question has missed his fair share of training this season too. Not too surprising to hear of players thinking about going to America when you hear things like this is it? Hopefully the squad will stay united despite this and the player in question will mind himself on holidays and return to play a role against Tipp. This will have to put his prospects of a starting place in doubt though.

There was a row between players that were constantly moving and then broke into 3 further rows as it was quieting down, including the run to the mentors (who also ran into the pitch). No ref stood any chance of stopping a row when the players seemed intent on keeping it going, regardless of sending off two men and the row still going on. He may not be the best ref in the county but its not his fault that both sides seem not bothered at all about hurling. What will happen: not much I guess as per usual. What should happen: throw both teams out of the championship for this year. Fines aren't worth it, the only way players, mentors & supporters will stop this nonsense, the better. And I don't give a toss who started it, there's a couple of attacks on that video that warrant a few years in jail if you did the same on the road outside.

Alf Tupper wrote: » Just on yesterday's game. There can be no condoning what went on during the melee but if the referee had dealt with a couple of early incidents properly with players from both sides it definitely would have set a different tone and both teams would have been left under no illusions as to who was in charge. it was too late once it kicked off.

It appears that wasn't gleeson striking but it's just like rolling a dice each time seeing what players will make it through. We don't need Tipp to beat us, we'll do it ourselves.
archieknox wrote: » Again I reiterate its the fools that appointed him in the first place are wrong. Yes he hadn't a hope of stopping it once it started but a better referee wouldn't have aloud the game to develop into the melee that took place. Definitely not pretty and from our perspective its not something to be proud of either so we'll wait and see what action comes from it.
