    I see where you're coming from now, fair enough. It's a hard gig being a ref.

    Who fell over the line with the following of a dodgy ref.

    Ah look im being harsh. But the call at the end. When a jersey is pulled like that and your 5-10 meters away its easy to pick up on it. And as a ref you cant give a free in against mcinerney and not give him a second yellow. Its either a free and yellow or neither.

    Also intercounty refs are the only ones who get away with not penalising throwing the ball. I call it each and every time and get slaughtered.

    I can't wait any longer.... I want to here the thoughts of the hurling prophet... The golden Miller.

    Whatever about what some may call bogey ref calls... We still weren't beating by 10 to 15 points!

    It may be petty but there's nothing nicer than seeing lads eat their words!

    Oh Nostradamus posted already after the match… basically, even though Cork lost today, they will dominate the championship for many years to come 🤦‍♂️

    Yes was frustrating seeing Cork use pretty much the same tactic as in the semi and getting absolutely cleaned out by the Clare half back line, limerick were toren asunder by them

    you’re wrong.

    the game was decided by Clare’s ability to carve Cork open time and time and time again.

    There was a Cork supporter on here after the semi final, apologies but I don’t remember the particular username, who pointed out that as convincing the win against Limerick was, Cork still give up a lot of chances, and this could prove costly against Clare.

    Fair play to that poster, they were bang on the money.

    I’m more a rugby person than a hurling person (I’m a casual hurling watcher at best), Cork remind me of a rugby team that has great backs and no forwards, which is to say they are a team that can do the fancy moves but don’t have the cattle for when you just need to dig yourself out of the shite.

    Clare aren’t particularly great in this department either, I think they were pretty soft in the first half against Kilkenny, but crucially they were better at it than Cork today.

    When they needed to get a few score in a row they got them. John Conlon was a colossus in defence, pretty much ate up everything thrown at him. They got goals at key moments.

    Outside of the Cork blitz in the first 10/15 minutes Clare were the better team and Cork were chasing it IMO. A deserved win, and only for their own wastefulness they should have won it in normal time.

    That’s my 2 cents anyway.

    Pundits and general media over the years have a lot to answer for and is why you end up with refereeing performances like today.

    Referees who apply the rules get criticised for being too picky or whistle happy, while referees who ignore blatant fouling get lauded for "letting the game flow".

    I wrote the following on here yesterday:

    "In all seriousness, with the way the game has gone and the way the public assesses a referees performance these days, the easiest thing for the referee to do in an All-Ireland final is to avoid making any big calls by letting it flow as much as possible. Yes, they may get their wrists slapped from assessors later but a referee doesn't want the final to be remembered mainly for a decision they made or for being so fussy that they are accused of ruining the game. So I think we will a bit of a free for all tomorrow especially when you consider Murphy's last outing"

    In short I thought it was likely that Murphy would let as much as possible go today, and I don't blame him, it's a product of how pundits and the public assess referees performances, they want the refs to let it flow and the last time he tried to lay down a marker it went horribly wrong.

    What do you think as a ref? Wasnt the easiest thing for him was to avoid as many big calls as possible, let it flow so as to not be seen as fussy and the neutral public will be kind to him. Referee assessors may not but that is not public and who will remember that in 20 years time

    With this approach you generally get a great spectacle and the neutral spectator is the winner. However often the losing team is left feeling aggrieved and the neutral public having enjoyed the game have very little tolerance for the aggrieved highlighting the reasons for their grievances, see Mantis's post about Cork supporters for example

    most neutrals think the referee was great

    If he’d blown for all the fouls we’d have a free-taking contest and probably a red card With the game decided not by players but officials

    Instead we had a game for the ages and people are complaining?

    Best Thing for me was - two lads jostling each other off the ball. One of them dived on the floor trying to get the other lad sent off - ref told him to get up ta f**k and waited for a stop in play to book them both

    Top class refereeing

    On the refereeing decisions today. As someone pointed out here earlier, so many hurling pundits happily excuse the repeated disregard for rules in literally every game throughout the season. Steps and thrown passes especially. So why should we expect them to call out errors in the final?

    Cathal Malone's shifts are seriously underrated. Not even mentioned.

    Well then the GAA need to make that absolutely clear in the rules. Jersey pulling, tripping and pushing should be explicitly permitted in the rules as things a referee can ignore and not penalise.

    Then there is a level playing field and the losing team can not feel aggrieved at the ref but at themselves for not fouling enough.

    Some a the fooking nitpicking about the referee is laughable. He had a good game. Clare deserved the win. A point in it, but overall Clare that little bit better.

    Cantwell reminded me of misses Doyle doing that last interview. Tony Kelly reacted exactly how I would have. At least she's not on the panel. Jacqui Hurley an absolute gem and puts her to shame.

    But the game WAS decided by the officials.
    If the biggest day of the year is won by joke decisions, then the whole championship is undermined. How do you prepare to deal with that next year?

    This type of refereeing promotes fouling as it goes unpunished.
