Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy speaking to RTE Radio singled out his family for special praise on the day of the match.[263] [264] [265] [266] [267] [268] Kilkenny manager Brian Cody was amazed that a red card was shown to Richie Hogan, saying "We were beaten well in the final score but it is a huge decision to make, to issue a red card".[269] [270] Former Kilkenny hurler Henry Shefflin speaking on the Sunday Game argued that the red card issued to Richie Hogan for the high tackle on Cathal Barrett should not have been red.[271] Also former Kilkenny hurler Jackie Tyrrell speaking on the Sunday Game on the night of the final also taught that a red card should not have been shown.[272] [273] Richie Hogan speaking two days after the final insisted that it should never have been a red card.[274] [275] [276] [277] Kilkenny appealed the one match suspension given to Hogan but on 6 November the suspension was upheld.[278] Highlights of the final were shown on The Sunday Game programme which aired at 9:30pm that night on RTÉ Two and was presented by Des Cahill with match analysis from Brendan Cummins, Cyril Farrell, Jackie Tyrell, Ursula Jacob, Graeme Mulcahy, Derek McGrath and Enda Rowland.
