All Ireland Senior Hurling (Liam Mccarthy Cup) 2019

Think Murphy is the best goalkeeper in the country but think Hogan will probably get the All Star, despite puck out struggles early on today. No goals conceded in four out of eight championship games including All Ireland final is impressive, they like to share them around a bit I think too.

Murphy has conceded three goals in three games this year. Don’t think many of those were his fault but hard to say on face of it that it’s all star form.

I really wouldn’t rate Hogan that highly. Think he’s an average enough goalie, not bad just not on the level of Quaid, Nash , Murphy

What happened to RTEs rule of not having pundits who are from the counties that are playing??

Shefflin was completely biased and bitter. The rules of hurling are the rules of the game whether it's a dead rubber league game or the final of the all ireland. You can't just change the rules because it might make the game a better spectacle for neutrals or because the game might be ruined with a red card.

But I knew when the red card happened that Shefflin was never in a million years going to go against his buddies and say it was a deserved red.

Henry could do nothing else only defend if ever wants to manage Kilkenny and the people would never forgive him, he was foolish to let himself be put on the panel today and no tipp person on the panel.

Congrats to Tipp, no arguments much the better side, Joanne Cantwell is excellent, Henry Shefflin talks some rubbish.

Red card was very harsh.

But Tipp in full flight is some sight to see.


Once they settled they were class today.

not sure how its harsh. he intentionally put his arm out to hit him. it couldnt be clearer. he set out to injure his oposition. if it was an accident then yes but it wasnt.

Yeah but winning team gets more all stars, it’s not just the best player in every position. Cork aren’t getting more than one and Horgan is a cert. Don’t think Murphy is getting on the number of goals conceded alone, rightly or wrongly. Though it’s hard to say Huw Lawlor should get one if you’re thinking that way I guess.

Quaid is probably his main competition. He might get it alright but just think four ‘clean sheets’ including final will be enough for Hogan to get over line especially when Quaid got it last year, which seems to be a factor though shouldn’t be.

Quaid did not get one last year. Murphy did, and deservedly so. Quaid has'nt won an All-Star.
Hogan a cert for me this year.
Expect Tipp to get 5, just like Limerick last year. Seems to be the run of things now. The days of AI winners getting 8-10 awards are gone.

Just saw the replay of Barrett’s foul on hogan a few mins before the red...
He was a lucky boy. His Hurley clattered into Hogan’s nose

Cody's an ignorant prick

He knows sheedy has always had his number

I have great respect for Cody. A great hurling man and impressive cv. His team were beaten by a better team today. It happens.

Why didn't hogan wipe the blood off his nose after getting send off? Was it to show he was innocent and unfairly sent off? Just wondering

Tipp are aging so difficult to see them win back to back in this format. Galway and Limerick would be my guess for next year.

I wish I shared your optimism about Galway winning next year!

Tipp playing like they did today would destroy us.

Congrats to the Tipp lads, sending off or not, you couldn't argue that that second half performance was anything short of devastating, we've seen plenty of teams make a hames of playing against 14 men, but they went for the jugular. The work rate from some of their players was phenomenal, Noel McGrath had the best game I've ever seen him play.

Terrible result for kk but funnily enough the backs always looked good, and there's a bright future ahead for that unit I think. Don't think that result will have any bearing on the next time we meet.

Shame to see some of the usual on here disgracing themselves with personal insults of kk players, but none of those doing it are exactly a surprise. Nor is it a surprise we didn't hear a peep from them since before the quarter final when they were out in force pre-gloating. Think it's significant they aren't Tipp posters either.

Tipperary played brilliant with an extra man. Nothing new there. They weren't too hot 15 on 15 or in the Munster final .

I don't think Tipp put too much into that Munster final personally.

Both teams in the final today lost two matches this season, Galway have only lost two in two years, one an All Ireland final. Bit unlucky this year. It can change quick - Tipp didn’t get out of Munster last year.

Three seasons before won one year, other two years beaten by a point by the champions in semi final and final.

Not saying Galway will necessarily win it next year but be very surprised not to see them in semi finals.

Tipp only lost the one.
