Cats took their goal while Tipp spurned theirs. Familiar story. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 21/02/2016 16:31:05 1826984 Link 0 |
Apart from Dublin bouncing back in Parnell Park (which I felt they would), the most remarkable results of the weekend were Mayo beating Meath in Trim & London beating Carlow away. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 21/02/2016 18:15:18 1827010 Link 0 |
The most remarkable results of the day were Mayo beating Meath in Trim & London beating Carlow on the road. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 21/02/2016 18:47:31 1827015 Link 0 |
Meath are decent hurlers at Ring level. Mayo have been decent at that level as well in the past. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 21/02/2016 19:26:22 1827027 Link 0 |
Terrible match in Pairc Ui Rinn last night. Big crowd but little or no atmosphere until 5 minutes towards the end. Stop start game, lots of frees (most were dubious), lots of rucks , stoppages , only one goal chance..quite boring really .. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 21/02/2016 19:55:08 1827038 Link 0 |

Was at the game in Nowlan cudnt buy a win down dere. If tipp played Kilkenny minors there today we'd have been bate. I know it's only February but Tipp needed to lay down a marker today against what was really a makeshift Kilkenny team again. No half forward line again cost Tipp. With 6 mins to go I was starting to think cud we actually win but the more ball that got returned straight back down a goal was always on d cards for the cats. Jon Joe Farrell came on and straight away laid into Cathal Barett making him think twice.pity Tipp can't play like dat on the edge the cats purred all over the pitch today. Well done to them again.

Same old story for Tipp v Kilkenny.Tipp play their part in another exciting game,but gallant losers is their lot once again.Even with Tipp leading coming up to the end,i never thought they were going to win.It was eerily similiar to so many of the games v Kilkenny of recent years.It is hard to know why this is ; my theory is that Kilkenny carry no passengers while Tipp have 11/12 top hurlers to match the cats,but always have a few lads who are just not up to Kilkenny's standards. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 22/02/2016 14:45:02 1827217 Link 0 |
Cork were atrocious on Saturday evening.For the first 50 minutes i couldn't believe what i was watching.I expected a little bounce back from their abject performance in Salthill.From the throw-in Cork were awful,lacking any real fight or game plan.Messing around in the back line,passing to a player in a worse position and driving aimless high ball into a small forward line?Absolutely brainless carry on and Waterford backs had a field day.Waterford really should have had the game out pof sight when Cork rallied late on and made a game of it.Finally,Lehane and Horgan brought the game to the Deise,but it was far too little,too late.It would have been a travesty if Cork had sneaked a late draw. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 22/02/2016 15:03:15 1827224 Link 0 |
Not sure about Gleeson's tackle on Walsh being "dirty" as he got the ball which he was entitled to go for. Why was Jason Forde missing for Tipp after being so devasting last week against Dublin? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 22/02/2016 15:16:35 1827229 Link 0 |

Just while on topic of Jason Forde he was sorely missed yesterday in that half forward line. His always good for a few points once on song and tipp cud have been couple of points ahead at half time with that wind advantage. Instead Kilkenny finished the half stronger and put Tipp under pressure for the second half. Big game vs Waterford next up a Tipp win throws open the group again a Waterford win puts them in the Quarter Finals no doubt.

That's a pretty good assessment Cuederocket. I thought Padraic Maher was very poor and should have been taken off sooner. I thought Breen did ok in midfield and fought manfully. Quinn looks good but nervous and you could say that about a lot of the under performers yesterday. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 22/02/2016 16:09:11 1827260 Link 0 |
You'd wonder would the KK v Tipp result have been the same had Callanan and Forde been playing. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 22/02/2016 16:18:11 1827262 Link 0 |
O'Connor Park pitch looked brutal! Could it not have been played in Birr? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 22/02/2016 16:25:54 1827265 Link 0 |
Croigorm,you could ask the same if J Tyrell,M Fennelly,E Larkin and R Hogan were playing. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 22/02/2016 16:30:10 1827268 Link 0 |
