Of course it was a red. Kilkenny getting as bad as Liverpool now with the victim complex

Care to explain what Liverpool and victim complex you’re referring to???

Sickening that Galway aren’t in this. Two bang average sides.

A few teams with more reason to be annoyed to not be there than Galway who had one decent performance in the championship.

Fair play to the referee. Great courage to make that call.

Galway weren't even close to getting to this game, so what does that say about them?

He went with 'Richie is not the best tackler' as a defense

Seems like a skill you should learn when you're young.

Think Henry more afraid of upsetting KK people than telling the truth

Hogan's red card was probably merited. Conditions mitigating to an extent but intent seems to have been there on Hogan's part. Silly from him. Gonna be hard for us now. Tipp should go on to win. It will take some effort from us to deny them victory a man down.

Sheflin shouldn't be on the panel. He's far too biased. No elbow? Is he blind?

There was a directive to referees issued in May re head high challenges and that one fit a couple of the "illegal challenge" criteria

I thinks it's a red but consistency a problem
Barret has fouled all day long, no cards
John mc Garth shouldn't even be playing for his dirty swipe in semi.

Say that to Ronan O'Gara, some are better than others but make up for it with other attributes.

Galway were very average themselves this year.

No doubt, and they aren’t there, so it’s all speculation. However they’d make short change of either side playing today based on the performances so far. Especially with the Galway special weather.

Duignan and Marty are horrendous. Duignan trying to blame the rain for Hogan deliberately elbowing Barrett in the head.. like WTF.

Lads, you can turn to the Irish commentary on RTE, even if you don't have the cúpla focail its better than Martys guff

Consistency definitely a problem. Red was the right call, but ref was letting a lot go before that. High challenges weren't even getting yellows from him earlier.

copperhead

If the directive is to be followed to the letter then the tip back that gave Ritchie his nose injury should have seen the line? And yet it wasn't even a yellow!!!

His other skills are useless now. Rugby are cracking down on bad tackling as well.

And given the criticism at refs (often justified) I hope analysts praise him for a correct albeit huge call in an AI final.

Game has swung since TJs ****e sideline into the middle of the pitch

I know it's the referees final call but I think it was the linesman who convinced the ref it was a red card and he was right beside the incident.

The conditions did it.

John McGrath didnt connect with Reck, Reck dived, as usual from Wexford players, John McGrath deserves to be playing. I hate Tipp but hate diving more

If Duignan mentions the conditions once more...

Kk going a great job keeping our star forwards quiet. Callanan hasn’t had only 3 touches. Hopefully we can get going now.

Ball was there - was accidental more than deliberate and I'd question the faceguard in Hogans helmet. Lot of helmets out there that have altered faceguards

I'd love to be in the refs room now listening to Cody's half time talk.......

JJ Delaney on Sky bringing the conditions into the red decision again.

Shock horror lol.

Can you not contribute without your blatant hatred of Kilkenny oozing out of your every pore ?

Could be a long half for Kilkenny

Tipp with one hand on Liam now.

What’s wrong with what I said there?

Shefflin was clearly being biased and trying to defend his old teammate.

I actually like Kilkenny.

RMAOK

Tipp look like they could run away with it now

He did connect. It was light, but he did and it was stupid when he was already on a yellow. He could've had a second yellow earlier anyway. There was another tipp player who should've had a straight red too in that match but the ref bottled it and wouldn't take the 4th officials advice or even listen to him.

Wrong post of the day

Patser

In the semi final vs a very fancied Wexford, Tipp had a man sent off, and Wexford get a couple of goals to kill them off..... they're the ones in the final. So the Cats ain't dead.

But unlike Wexford Tipp seem smart enough to take points to stay safe...... and a goal or 2!!!!!!!@! As I type.

statesaver

That's game over

PressRun

Tipp running away with it now

Justin Credible Darts

only a matter of how much they will win by.

I reckon tipp could win this by 20 points

This game is over. Tipp can rout KK if they want to.
