Tipperary Manager Reacts to Scoreboard Controversy in All-Ireland Semi-Final

Tipperary manager Liam Cahill expressed his surprise at the possibility of Kilkenny seeking Croke Park intervention following the scoreboard controversy in the All-Ireland semi-final. Tipperary secured a spot in the final against Cork after a late goal by Oisín O’Donoghue. The confusion arose when a point by Noel McGrath was initially waved wide but counted on the scoreboard, seemingly putting Tipperary four points ahead. Kilkenny, focusing on scoring a goal, believed the difference was three points at the final whistle. The GAA initially confirmed Tipperary's score as 4-21 before correcting it later. Cahill, speaking at the Tipperary press night, expressed disappointment that the late drama overshadowed the game. He acknowledged human error and commended Kilkenny for their integrity and sportsmanship in handling the situation. Cahill emphasized that they never considered Kilkenny would seek a boardroom intervention to change the result, praising Kilkenny's approach and stating that they would do the same if roles were reversed.
