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

    Limerick were just better than Galway.

    No one's claiming he cost Galway. He's just not good enough to ref at this level. He misses obvious fouls left right and centre. Not affecting the outcome is not an excuse

    Galway needed a few new players this year to bread life into them

    14 from 15 team last year - very hard to do it again with the same team

    They have been incredibly flat - the league was very poor by AL champions standard

    They picked things up for the round robin but they were poor in the Leinster final and semi. A few ten minute bursts kept them alive in the championship.

    Limerick are deserving champions. The games suited them - then the early exit from Munster was a huge help. Wasn’t a word about them. Then beating kk give them great confidence. They are an exiting team similar to Clare in 2013. They play the spaces lovely and can score at will. They have a clear game plan that has reaped reward with fearless underage talent.

    It appeared a few were arguing this a few pages back.

    Most refs are poor at this level, best of the lot is O'Dwyer from Carlow. He did well this year.

    I don't know if teams do tours around clubs anymore but when a hurling team win do they bring the trophy to the football clubs?

    As I’ve said the pitch invasion would bring something to days like this.

    Would you not agree ?

    The 1995 pitch invasion of Croker was glorious. Have fond memories of seeing grown men cutting out sods of turf with car keys and placing them in match boxes....ah them were the days. Was at the 94 final but think most of the Offaly fans had left when the final whistle blew 😄

    Haven't seen anyone saying that. Every Galway man knows we weren't at the races today and weren't anywhere near good enough to win. The standard of reffing has been poor and today was particularly bad for both sides.
    Yes o Dwyer has been best this year.

    When the final whistle blew , I felt the Crowd was a bit muted. Felt a we bit subdued. It’s limerick breaking a long barron spell - when they won Munster in 2013- it was glorious the celebrations. I just expected more today - there fans have always been amazing. When growing up, pitch invasions were symbolic of the 1990s and early 2000s in both codes

    I just don’t comprehend it - at every Provincial venue - we have pitch invasions.

    GAA will have to go the Rugby route.
    Teams have been robbed by wrong decisions.
    Refs only see so much.
    Need to consult with another official watching on a screen

    Pitch invasions are sadly missed. Its not just about the players here but the tens of thousands of fans too.

    The situation in the Limerick ground where the crowd watched the game on the telly was exactly the same as a pitch invasion.

    No worries about crowd safety there. :rolleyes:

    Would Dublin be considered top tier?

    You have to say yes. They have won a Lenister Championship in 2013 Offally and Wexford have not won it since 1995 and 2004. Cuala are All ireland club champions.Dublin have six Lenister Minor titles since 2000 and Offally and Wexford only one between them. They lost two minor Hurling finals in 2011 and 2012. So you have to consider them top tier

    I'd consider Dublin top tier for sure. They are probably closer to an All Ireland than Wexford. They just need a run of wins. Wexford aren't far off either but their style under Davy isn't conducive to landing an All Ireland.

    I'd say top tier is a team that will be there or thereabouts come summer most years. Dublin a bit off that right now but getting there

    This will release a pressure valve in Limerick hurling and kids with athletic ability will have the choice of hurling or rugby. Munster rugby has a strangle hold on top top athletic kids in the city but they have some competition now.
    It's time for a major renewal of the city hurling clubs and maybe time for a new hurling club to cater for the upswing. This opportunity must be harnessed because 73 wasn't.

    Good day out, not a terrible game either! Bitterly disappointed with this Galway team today, but hey, it came down to a puck of the ball in the end! A lot of very nervous Limerick supporters all around me in Croker before the final whistle!

    No complaints, Limerick were hungrier and bossed Galway all over the pitch today, congrats to them. After seeing the joy in Galway last year, I really hope they enjoy the celebrations for the next few months.
    This Galway team aren’t done yet, can’t wait for Championship 2019
