All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2024 (Munster And Leinster Championships,Liam McCarthy Cup)

Rubbish refereeing? He gave Galway 10+ frees in the last 20 minutes without giving Dublin anything. Completely folded to the crowd. Have a look at the free count. He kept ye in it ffs.

Absolutely 👍

Very bad day at the office for Dublin hurling. One step forward v Galway and three steps back on the big stage in Leinster final.

Dublin have a healthy head to head v Galway and Wexford down the years but it's a different story against Kilkenny. One solitary win under Anthony Daly in 2013 the only time in approx 90 years. Are Dublin spooked by the stripey jerseys?

I was optimistic Dublin could make it competetive while also realising if Kilkenny started well it could be a long night.

Some of Dublin's decision making and first touch was miles off for this standard. So many balls fumbled and intercepted. It was really poor stuff and sucked the life out of the crowd very early.

If it wasn't bad enough to gift TJ Reid his first goal with a goalkeeping error the second TJ goal you wouldn't see U14s messing around like that. How Brennan hit it to P Smyth with the defenders back turned to him i couldn't believe how poor that was. It epitomised Dublin's night. Calamitous stuff.

Kilkenny hurled at a higher tempo, their stickwork and touch was on a different level. Once they get a lead it can get away from you fairly quickly. Better teams than Dublin have suffered similiar fate.

After a couple days it will be back training for Dublin. As bad as last night was it is still a decent year for the hurlers. Reaching the Leinster final is an achievement in itself.

Looking like Cork next up and even if Dublin improve a fair bit it is going to be a tall order. More than likely that will be the end of the road for Dublin's year but it would be nice to restore a bit of pride in the jersey and give Cork more to worry about than Kilkenny had to last night.

All this Galway talk reminds me of all the sht talk about Limerick after 2007. Everyone boasting about how Waterford wouldn't have rolled over like Limerick did and that was the real final that "everyone wanted".

Then Waterford got their chance.

Or people who still say Kilkenny will "never give up" in a final and will always be in it till the last minute despite 2 comprehensive beatings in the last 5 years.

And let's not forget about Corks "Corkness" in 2021.

If Galway wants to show what they "would have done" against Kilkenny then actually get to the final. Otherwise it might be best to quiet down a bit.

Ya I would agree. Dublin were also just beaten by a far superior team yesterday.

I was more laughing at the narrative difference between Kilkenny (or whoever) getting battered and Dublin getting battered in some people's minds. The whole "X team gave up but Y team never would" despite every team being on the recieving end of some serious hammerings is just daft.

In the build up to yesterdays final i listened to quite a few pundits on radio and podcasts and just about every single one were giving Dublin a great chance. Some even predicted a Dublin win like Mark Landers, Shane McGrath and Shane Stapleton. Michael Verney called a draw with Kilkenny to win in extra time. Dalo gave Dublin great chance. There was a lot of faith in this Dublin team. Hindsight might make this look a little unwise now but there was a lot of confidence (outside of Kilkenny) that Dublin would at the very least show up and be competetive. Dublin are probably not as good as they looked v Galway where David Burke's sending off was a bit of a game changer but Dublin are probably not as bad as they looked yeseterday, either.

And we have the sum total of **** all won while at least KK have bagged Leinster titles. Galway are where they deserve to be….watching on TV… we got 1 point out of Wexford, KK and Dublin. A KK team missing some of there better players. Embarrassing

Is there anyone on the leinster council with some brains hurling or football, stop playing these games in soulesss stadium. How this goes on year after yeat amazes me.

No game on tv today at 14.00 football or hurling for those of us sitting at home. And i dont think there's any warm up game in Semple Stadium unlike yesterdays Joe McDonagh Cup before the Leinster final. Always nice to have a minor game or any game before the main event. Pretty quiet Sunday GAA wise.

Cant make it up lol!

He can put a nice price on the callout to make himself feel better

Hawkeye is very slow in Thurles at the best of times. Might take a week for correct call today.

Why the delay? No need for floodlights and can manage without Hawk Eye
