James Owens had to be escorted off the pitch at the end of what was another belter of a Munster final between both Cork and Limerick at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
Was this right, have a look below ..
Don’t like Cork surrounding referee at the end, their own fault for playing last free short.
We will never get the best people refereeing our Games if we keep allowing it.
Everyone on pitch today is an amateur so GAA should be different to other sports. pic.twitter.com/QWmvX71npv

Here are some of the comments online ..
Dan I’m a neutral and the ref ruined that match, it felt like watching fucken soccer, we’ll never get more kids playin hurling if we allow refs like that
Ref was awful for both teams,he knows that munster hurling final is fast and intense but the clown kept blowing the whistle and making it all about him.
I thought so also why didn’t Patrick Collins not just drop it in or attempt the point, you kinda knew it was the last puck of the game.Probably in the minority, but tbf to owens he was spot on with all the calls he made.
