‘It is a fierce tough on' – RTE GAA pundits in agreement over ‘marginal' penalty call in Tipperary vs Waterford
PUNDITS were in agreement that Tipperary should have been awarded a penalty in their Munster SHC clash against Waterford. The Premier faced the Deise in a crunch tie on Sunday afternoon, with both teams holding out hopes of qualifying for the All-Ireland series.

Bearing down on goal, Tipp's Andrew Ormond was brought down by a combination of Waterford corner-back Ian Kenny and goalkeeper Billy Nolan. It looked like a penalty was on the way, only for referee Sean Stack to indicate that the foul had been initiated outside the small rectangle. As a result, it constituted a free but, as John McGrath had put the ball over when possession broke away from Ormond, that was instead counted.

Clare legend Daly said: "It is very much on the line. Is it a black card penalty? Michael Duignan suggested it was. "Billy Nolan definitely fouls him the second time. "That looks to me like it is inside. He called it very quickly, there is obviously somebody in his ear as well but the moments win big championship matches." Advertisement Most read in GAA Hurling Host Joanne Cantwell asked if any of the trio thought it wasn't a penalty, suggesting that it was "marginal". But Liam Sheedy said: "It was marginal but it was a penalty. Inside Lee Chin's life including day job as Wexford forward even stars during RTE GAA ad breaks with Johnny B "In my view, whether it was Billy Nolan who fouled or whether it was the defender, to me he was inside the square and it was a penalty and black card all day for me." Donal Og Cusack offered: "It is a fierce tough one. Advertisement "For the referee, the angle he is looking at it there is probably the worst angle to be looking at it from. "I would say if you did slow it down, the initial contact that was made was probably just outside the line." Cantwell cut in to say that if the advantage had been given and there is further contact then it should have been a penalty. Sheedy criticised the lack of communication between referee Stack and his umpires. Advertisement He added: "The other aspect of this is and we are sounding like a broken record but, no consultation. "The two guys that have the best view of it here are inside beside the goals and nobody asked their view."

Waterford outclass sorry Saffrons at Corrigan Park
A return to Corrigan Park did not have the desired effect for Antrim on Sunday as they were out-gunned by an impressive Waterford who claimed a utterly dominant 2-23 to 0-11 win in Division 1B of the Allianz Hurling League. The Déise made good use of the elements in the first period to build a 16-point wind and managed the game well in the second with Antrim never really threatened to get back into it. It was a disappointing display from Davy Fitzgerald's men who were out-hustled and out-muscled as the visitors came at them with intensity and the result now leaves them in a precarious position in the battle to avoid the drop. Playing with an extremely strong wind at their backs, Waterford immediately set about building a big lead and had two points on the board within the opening minute. The lead was three with 10 played before the visitors grabbed their first goal as a superb poc-out from Billy Nolan found Conor Prunty in stride with the ball worked to Kevin Mahony to crack home. Their second major came six minutes later and from a Stephen Bennett penalty, awarded as he was adjudged to have been clipped outside the area, but deemed a goalscoring opportunity denied and Keelan Molloy would spend 10 minutes in the sin-bin to compound matters. The scores flowed for Waterford with Jamie Barron and Dessie Hutchinson hitting some beauties, as Antrim only had a couple of James McNaughton frees to show until late in the half when Seaan Elliott had a sight of goal but shot over. But the visitors had a commanding 2-14 to 0-4 lead at the interval with Antrim's hopes long gone. The Saffrons made a decent start to the second period with the first four points including one from substitute Eoin O'Neill, but were unable to sustain the momentum with Waterford adapting to playing into the gale, rattling off four of their own to restore to 16-point gap going into the final quarter. They could have had a third goal only for the crossbar denying Hutchinson, but the game was long decided and petered out late with Waterford home and hosed.
