I was appalled to see one of the greatest players ever in Tommy Walsh being bullied with corner-boy tactics today. I could hardly believe what I was seeing.

You complete missed the point of what was happening, and also over the top...Tipp wanted to force a particular match-up and Kilkenny were not buying it. That is all that was going on there...keep Tommy Walsh busy watching Lar and stop him launching attacks like he did in the final last year.

You missed a point yourself. While Lar was forcing Tommy to mark him, Tommy went on marking Bourke. It effectively meant taking two of Tipps best forwards out of the game on the one lad.I thought Corbett was stupid to be honest, a lot of the time he was trying to shoulder or run into Tommy to get a reaction. I thought Walsh did well not take the bait like he normally would, and pick up the second yellow.I think also it shows how poorly Tipp were mentally and tactically prepared for the match.

Exactly. What sort of mess was tipps preparation when any tactics they had went out the window immediately and was replaced with get Tommy sent off by any means necessary. There were tipp people around me disgusted there's no way they can leave Ryan and Dunne over them.

Not sure where you were sitting but several Tipp fans in the Lower Cusack echoing the very same sentiments.

They brought the great game to a new low alright. Looks like Tipp and Cork are joining the weaker counties now and some of their badminded posters on here like Turenne and RebelRebel30 are making it a lot worse with some of their "contributions"!

Shure the eagle eyed Tipperary school teacher who spotted Colin Lynch in the legendary 1998 Munster Final and succeeded in de-railing Clare's bid for the All-Ireland will be able to testify on today's violence from the Premier Men. Or does Tipp's vision depend on who is involved. If Tipperary doesn't deal radically with today's carry-on their reputation as a hurling county will have been severely damaged. And I write as a neutral who hoped before the game began that they would win today. Tipperary were a disgrace today and that is the opinion of virtually every Clare hurling fan with whom I watched today's game.
