Where was Lar Corbett when all this was happening? That’s what I’d like to know.

Actions will speak louder than words on this one… Roll on the replay.

And it’s not unsportsmanlike to criticize in the media a fellow player for something every player is guilty of and that’s complaining to the ref, or it’s not unsportsmanlike to raise the point that one player was unhappy with decision to go for a point from the penalty?

I heard excerpts interview on newstalk this am. The whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Joe was actually praising Kilkenny for their gamesmanship and was in know way bitter. He was basically saying how experienced Kilkenny were and how Galway needed to learn from them. Ps I’m not from Galway.

That headline is gibberish. That is all.

Well it’s not sporting and talk about making a big deal out of nothing .

Henry did run 30 -40 yards. Joe told no lies.

Duignan says he’s surprised Joe Canning was talking about the senior game when he was there in relation to the U21s. Wonder who brought it up! Would I be naive to think that maybe, just maybe, a journalist raised the matter of the senior game and Joe responded!
Personally think too much talking goes on about sport of all types.
Let the talking be done on the sports arena!

No harm in what he said, but you can be sure it’ll be blown up by the media and if Cody doesn’t use it as fuel for the fire for the replay I’d be surprised. Kilkenny don’t need any help when it comes to building causes to keep them going. Might’ve been better served keeping schtum Joe!

Duignan loves Kilkenny so much, which is strange for a biffo.

Never realised it was badgering refs got Kilkenny all those All Irelands. And here I thought it was because they were good at hurling . Joe is right . More counties should try that one so .

Go way out of that Reginald you only wish you were born a few miles up the road

My intial reaction was it was good to hear something other than the party line and the norm being repeated time and time again but thought he was foolish for bringing more pressure on himself and antagonising Kilkenny….But then I got to thinking, Joe can’t put more pressure in himself regardless of what he says, all the pressure is on him regardless. And Kilkenny have enough incentive to win this all ireland, again, regardless of what Joe says.
All in all it just makes for a better side show for supporters!

Its refreshing to hear a player tell it like it is , and a bit rich to hear A professional pundit like Michael Duignan , criticise him. Are people not sick to death of pundits minding their
jobs, watching their backs, afraid of upsetting RTE Or theGAA hierarchy, by actually calling it like it is. If henry ran 40 Yards to berate a ref, then, joe is right, or if jj has an opinion, let’s hear it,and if a policy of bullying officials has grown and worked for a team, what’s wrong wit highlighting it, who are we afraid of offending, fair play to joe, everyone in the country including the pundits saw Henry and Brian’s antics on Sunday, he is just the first public figure to say it.

Duignan’s a bloody tool

Come on Kilkenny it’s great to be hated simply for being the best hurling county of all time . Fcuk the begrudges . Up the cats

Keep talking Joe…

Ah, the innocence of youth, meet the arrogance of hype.

Referee gave Kilkenny “very easy frees”? This, followed by intimations Barry Kelly had a good game? While Shefflin was “not sportsmanlike” for giving the ref stick over a free in the first half? He knows all about these things, but conveniently has no opinion on the one he got in the last puck of the match saying, “I don’t know – to be straight up about it I didn’t see it. I was over the far side, in at full-forward. I didn’t actually watch the match since”. Or, for instance, the fact that Skehills save though technically a free from him lying on the ball should have resulted in a penalty, due to a hurl being thrown across Fennelly from the back as he shot, which is a personal foul. Or, the “sportsmanlike” behaviour of Tannion amongst others going down like a lady of the evening, time wasting at every opportunity. But then, Joe didn’t watch the match, did he? So how could he be expected to know? Why look at the speck in your neighbours eye when clearly you have a plank in yours? Opinions will always be right when they are accompanied by arrogance and a lack of recourse to any evidence that might exist to the contrary. So never mind the details, Hubris will eventually meet its Nemesis. Keep talking Joe

The young pretender takes on the master perhaps?

Galway know at this stage they’ve unsettled the Cats and this is just a continuation of it. He was pretty much just stating a fact. In my opinion no one should be trying to remonstrate with a ref at any period of a game. Like it or not hes paid to call it on way or the other. Ps I’m a neutral here as a corkman

“but hark a voice like thunder spake”

Are the spelling errors in this a joke?

The pot calling the kettle black.it was an un sporting mans actions that get them the last free.

cats to win by ten points

I take my hat off to Kilkenny, they are a fabulous team to watch. However there is a cuteness about them in terms of cynical fouling, this fist pump after they win a free and then the intimidation from Brian Cody of the referee and opposing manager. Look at Shefflin’s face after the Leinster Final defeat. Despite having 13 Leinster medals from 1998 to present day Henry was in a sulk. I completely acknowledge that he strives to be the best but that was just pathetic. What’s the difference between 13 and 14 Leinster titles? Could he not be happy for his fellow amateur sportsmen who put in as much if not more dedication to win their first?

The f%#ks I could not give about what Duignan has to say on any topic. I didn’t realise this site was so hard up to fill space. The only point of interest here is that Cody let him out of his pocket between broadcasts.

It’s always a shame when impressive players metamorphose into meedjah-eejits once they stop playing. Regan is another of that ilk.

just as well he took time out to have a chin wag or galway would not have made a replay
