LIMERICK HURLER SEANIE Tobin will miss the Munster senior hurling semi-final against Tipperary on 21 June.
The42 learned this morning that Tobin’s appeal against the red card he received against Clare failed last night.
Tobin travelled to Croke Park for a Central Hearings Committee gathering, accompanied by Limerick county board chairman Oliver Mann and secretary Mike O’Riordan.
But a one-match suspension originally proposed was upheld by the CHC and Murroe-Boher hitman will have to sit out the visit of the Premier County to the Gaelic Grounds.
Tobin expressed disappointment with the verdict on his personal Twitter page today:
Tobin saw red just seconds after he was introduced in the 54th minute against Clare last Sunday.
Referee Colm Lyons sent off the substitute for tangling with Banner County defender Patrick O’Connor but Limerick still managed to claim a one-point victory with 14 men.
Limerick chiefs viewed video footage of the incident before deciding to appeal and while they can still take the matter to the GAA’s Central Appeals Committee and the independent Disputes Resolution Authority, the42 understands that the Shannonsiders will not pursue the issue any further.
Limerick county board PRO Eamonn Phelan confirmed: “He (Tobin) lost it, he’ll miss the Munster semi-final.”
When asked if Limerick would explore further channels of appeal, Phelan replied: “I doubt it.”
Limerick insist that Tobin was harshly sent-off but Phelan noted: “They (GAA) had to stand by the referee. You know that old saying, the referee’s report is final. We got word late last night, around 11.30pm, that the appeal was unsuccessful.”

He’s not a playmaker they’re relying on him too much
Refreshing to see an actual African managing an African team and not some old white guy with floppy hair.
@Kris Ertz: that’s very racist of you
@Alana: Not racist. It is refreshing to see African managers reaching their potential. They are nearly invisible in the game. And like he said, in their place, European hasbeens.
@Alana: you really are a sad sad little boy
@Kris Ertz: Tunisian manager is African also
Another Liverpool player under performing
@Crpytoalchol: what about kingpog ? He’s the world leader in underperforming, but at least his hair looks cool
Another bitter man utd fan
@Alana: king Pog
@Just a buiscuit: what’s there to be bitter about? Hahaha
@Crpytoalchol:
Where do I start?
A horrible hasbeen manager implementing horrible football backed up by dabber pogs and mr mercenary senor Sanchez is a good start to be bitter I suppose!! Mouring the fact that yer not even the best in yer own City would bring on even more bitterness.So your only medicine for your bitterness is to bring Liverpool players into a discussion and have a cut off them .All of this screams bitter to me .
@Crpytoalchol: #pog$h1t
@Just a buiscuit: ye haven’t won anything in 6 years……. I could never be bitter to a club like that. Just feel sorry for the supporters of that club
