You’d have to say that Tipperary were outplaying, [and] out-thinking us all over the field. But definitely, [it was] the catalyst for a better performance.

But if the first incident is a yellow card then god love us with what's gone on during the week there with wired up umpires calling referees."Earlier this week, the GAA’s National Referees Committee issued new guidelines and instructions to all intercounty referees in an effort to clamp down on head-high and dangerous tackles in both football and hurling. It was made clear that referees will be paying greater attention to the high tackle and the “illegal charge/collision” in both codes.
