I wonder how much of a factor was Galway having tough Leinster finals and All-Ireland semi finals, both going to replays.
It did seem a flat performance.
Maybe they just went to the well one time too many.

Limerick also had 3 weeks before the final, Galway had 2.

Maybe though while they were below par, they could have been beaten three times this year already in the championship. Given the competitive nature of it this year you're not likely to last the year without defeat when the margins are that tight.

Was it a cowardly effort from canning for the final puck? He definitely could have put more distance on it if he wanted however presumably was worried about losing accuracy so dropped it short.

Cowardly:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:


disgraceful choice of words. he was about 85 yards from goal for f*ck sake.

Yeah not many 'cowards would take a free in front of 80000 people. His goal late in the game was immense and did it like it was a routine

There was no cowards what so ever in Croke Park today

Just noticed there that P. Mannion threw the hurley at Shane Dowling as he scored the third goal. So Galway should've been down to 14 before they made the comeback.

Think ref missed equally as much for both sides

Great to see Limerick win considering the length waited. Deserved it on the day but Galway showed massive resilience nearly coming back.

Agree the ref was brutal. Am sure its easy for us to sit here and critise though with the speed of the game. Some odd frees given and not given though.

Limerick enjoy the win, great city for sport from the years I lived there.

He was equally sh1t for both teams but that shouldn't be used to excuse how sh1t he actually was. It was a disgraceful performance. Too many refs get a free pass on the ot didn't affect the outcome card.

Does The Sunday Game have cameras at the Galway teams hotel?

James Owens is an absolutely disgrace. The fact he gets the honour to ref an all ireland final while the pathetic display today makes me sick. I can think of 5 points he directly gave to Limerick in the first half.

- Mannion got shouldered in the back for the goal: 3 points.

- Glynn clashes with a player and a free is given the other way: 1 point.

- McInerney shoulders a limerick player square and a free is given: 1 point.

Well he does a good job of it most times he crosses the line so he'd be better off not bothering

Free and a yellow card.

Congratulations to Limerick, powerful display and they deserved to win.

It's been one hell of a championship this year.

After waiting 29 years to see Galway raise the Liam McCarty I can imagine the joy in Shannonside tonight after waiting 45 years.

It is a precious desire that can endure such an absence and this year has helped to cement the future of the game.

In Galway we may have lost the All Ireland but hurling itself took all the silverware this year.

How? He had just gathered the ball off the ground, went to stand and turn and collided with the limerick player. He didn't intend to run into him. More of the big man getting screwed in GAA

Ref was poor but did not decide the outcome of the game.

Limerick were just better than Galway.

Thought the limerick defender ran straight into him.
