To say they are soft is daft, they were the width of a post from winning it last year and I think more has to be made of the failure of the munster champions for the last number of years to make the final, the 5 week layoff does them no good, tipp in 2011 were the last champions to make it. I know the argument that kilkenny do it every year but more often than not kilkenny can be fairly confident of winning leinster, they do struggle a bit when they dont win it (2013, 2012 all ireland final went to replay) whereas the munster teams knock seven shades out of each other then sit on their hands for 5 weeks, not ideal prep at all. So tipp soft, not at all I'd have been very confident if they'd scraped a draw they'd have won the replay. duckula20 (Antrim) - Posts: 175 - 18/08/2015 08:12:45 1771743 Link 0 |
Not for one second do I think this Tipp team are soft.Not a bit of it.They were outplayed on the day thats all.They still almost won and but for some inspired goalkeeping would have won. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 18/08/2015 08:21:52 1771751 Link 0 |
I know guys very close to the Tipp hurling set up and they themselves agree that Tipp are "too nice", I am not slagging Tipp coz I well know that Cork are even "nicer". Tipp have a team of great hurlers, I genuinely thought that they would win this year's All Ireland but they have come up short again. Yes they only lost by a point in a classic game but the reality is Galway should and would have won by more only for a one man act of defiance. corkcelt (Cork) - Posts: 4388 - 18/08/2015 08:22:37 1771752 Link 0 |
