Their forwards can't even do that

Eamon O Shea total hurling blueprint all over this Tipp team

Kilkenny tactics at the moment are hit and hope into Reid and Walsh - not working as the Tipp free player is cleaning up

Hogan ruined it ffs.

Why can’t lads use 2 hands picking the ball up? First touch is atrocious

Hammer Archer

Kilkenny can't even do the simple things right. Cannot understand why they persist with the long balls into the full forward line.

Did Hogan not ruin it when he lifted his elbow?

The red finished the game as a contest no doubt but tipp forwards are way more classier

Definitely a red I might add

Game was ruined after that. It was far from red. The tipp lad tackling the Kilkenny goalie was far worse and what happened to him... nothing

Completely ruined the game.

It was point for point until the sending off.

TJ Reid won’t be buying Richie Hogan a pint anytime soon

The highlight of the All-Ireland this year for me has been Laois.

A Laois-Wexford final would have been some craic.

That’s gotta be it unless Kilkenny can do what they haven’t looked like doing and find the net....

Hawkeye9212

Imagine cricket having a more exciting final than hurling. You don't have to imagine because it happened.

Always a red.
It was an elbow to the head. He gave the referee zero choice.

Paudie Maher is a colossus at the back. Nothing getting by him today.

Hogan is the reason it's so one sided. What an idiot

When you think of paidi Maher in 2012 on Micheal rice

LuckyGent88

So strange that we actually haven’t heard Brendan Mahers name mentioned at all. He is just stuck to TJ

No it wasnt worse for godsake!

Kilkenny don't seem like they could score goals with 20 men never mind 15.

Ah not at all, arm outstretched and his arm naturally moved up as the keeper moved through it. Hogan deliberately brought his forearm up to catch the head. Like night and day. The reaction though was pathetic. Sick of hurlers throwing themselves around these days after the slightest knocks.

flazio

Kilkenny taking inspiration from their minor team's performance it would seem.

At least play it through the hands rather than hitting aimless ball to tipp men time after time

Player of the match - that goal bound block he had on Walter Walsh was superb

Patser

I know this was a hard match to call before, and small things would make abig difference, but it's still surprising to see how a red card turned it from a balanced match to a stroll. At times it was training match stuff this half.

Based on what? Tipp Galway Limerick will be three favourites I think. Wouldn’t rate Limerick any higher than that. Lot of hyperbole about them for one All
Ireland. They got lucky enough against Cork last year and lost to what now looks a relatively ordinary KK team this year.

Some point by Browne,great strike

In fairness kk got back to level, then tipp went up a gear and the quality of the forwards with the great play for two goals finished it

True, this Tipp defense deserve a huge amount of credit though, all over any balls coming into the Kilkenny forwards and totally dominating them..

recyclebin

Some difference between when Tipp went down to 14 men the last day and how they responded compared to Kilkenny today. Very poor tactics from Kilkenny too. They just kept hitting long in hope rather than try pick off a few scores out the field.

A sending off is always liable to have a big effect on a match.

threeball

Kilkenny carrying too many passengers. Minors and seniors hammered.

Once they came up against two more skilful teams they were done. Intensity will bring you so far but you can't replicate it every day. It only takes 3 or 4 lads to be off the pace and you're done.

TheRiverman

Delighted for Liam Sheedy,one of the real good guys of the game.

When it’s this close between them it should make a huge difference really. As long as you use the spare man effectively you should win every game then

Limerick were dire in the first 25 mins but they still caught up to KK. The players and Kiely will be kicking themselves and they will definitely up their game next year.

Tipp were much improved in the second half though - couldn't win their own puckout in the first half and had a serious amount of turnovers, which they sorted out in the second half. O Sheas matrix clicked.

Kilkenny going long ball the whole time in the second half was ridiculous - they could see where the extra man was yet persisted with the long ball. Maher has kept Reid very quiet as well

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.

LillySV

In fairness tipp totally outdoing them now. The better team to win... I am still disgusted at the sending off though ... anyways congrats tipp

Biggest kk defeat in all Ireland since ?

Limerick with Davy Fitz would dominate hurling for a few years. Kiely cost Limerick in the semi.

Wexford must be kicking themselves with how they responded when they went a men up against Tipp in the semi final.


Delighted the Galway minors won. 3 in a row.

Some hammering in a final.

Yeah don’t think Tipp will do back to back either but two All Irelands in four years, lost by a point to winners in other year, will definitely be up there as favourites betting wise.

Awful lot of talk about Limerick though for a team that won one All Ireland, people were acting this summer like they were Kilkenny from ten years ago.

More than Eamon O’Sheas matrix remember Eamon was manager for 3 yrs and they won no all Ireland.... think Eamons magic might be overstated a lot

Hopefully next year we mite get a good final they have been ****e since 2013
