watching it now. Duignan was true to form back then - a free given against DJ for blatant over -carrying after 10 seconds of the match and Duignan says "that`s a disgrace"!! "It`s fashionable now to give frees against DJ for over-carrying and the referees are wrong"!!

Haven`t we clue. Is he still on the Galway panel. I tj

Some changes made in kilkenny after that game. Did Eddie brennans display that day save his place on the kilkenny team for the years that followed.

It must have been hard to explain the rules when the referee was so inconsistent! S Roche was woeful at times. How did he contrive to give a free against Peter Barry on the Galway 65? Farraher nailed it as would Shefflin if it had been given correctly. Did a couple of seconds later with Barry giving out about another free he should have got Roche threw in the ball for a free he had awarded to Kilkenny! Healy picked up the ball from the throw in and goaled. That was a five point swing.

That throw ball came after Peter Barry had actually been awarded the free. There was a bit of sarcasm out of him after that given the previous decision that he did not get in similar circumstances and Roche decided to throw it in.

Galway were way better that day anyhow and as bad as Roche was, he had no impact on that.

@ Mickey Pearse - It was Eddie`s disciplined displays as a ball winning half forward in 2006 that were the making of him in Cody`s eyes apparently. He really had to work to make it, even after his big haul in 2005.

Remember having to explain the rules to 5 or 6 Aussies sitting behind me at this game. They were part of a rugby team over for a sevens tournament and had come in to Croke Park on spec thinking they might catch a football game. They`d never heard of hurling and were just completely blown away. Imagine seeing that game as your first experience of hurling.

But when I explained that the players were amateur they would`nt believe me. Just shows how truly special our national games are. I felt really proud to have been there that day.
