Replying To cuederocket:  "Holy moley that was embarrasing for Waterford.Congrats to Tipp on winning another Munster championship.

Waterford threw it away in the first half.Playing with the stiff breeze they failed to put enough bodies in the danger zone and never hit direct ball where they could have hurt Tipp.10 wides with most of them from very scoreable positions was the end of the game.Tipp went in at the break in a great position.

Waterford totally collapsed in the second half ; mentally and physically.It was as if their spirit was broken at ht.Tipp peppered the danger zone with long direct ball and reaped the rewards ; goals and lots of them.

Tipp are in a good position now.Plenty of places up for grabs with Bubbles to come back in.Backs are excellent and give away few goal chances.Great win for the blue & gold."
Cats have to be beaten first.

Would Waterford and clare please play hurling!!@@@## magrath and Fitzgerald And other managers are going to kill this great game.
how can you call this the fastest game in the world with the rubbish procession game, within ten years no one will attend a munster final if this continues
Scoreless draw in euros final more exciting than this style of hurling
tipp and cats will hopefully save the year

Two great wins for Tipp yesterday unexpected in the minor id say. Thought Limerick looked great all year. Two of my own club had a player from Tipp and Limerick playing. Darragh Carroll should throw his lot in with the Tipp team his a fantastic talent. I know his a Dromkeen lad and they have no minor team and his hurling with a Tipp club but his a savage hurler.
On the Senior match i didn't think we'd see a goal not alone 5. Was fearing the worst that we didn't have the forwards to win as we have only 4 scoring forwards and 2 working forwards in McCormack and Bonner.
Feel sorry for Waterford they are getting a lot of stick over this if they had won yesterday I would have been thrilled for them. There a fine team. I know they were gutted yesterday I seen a few of their players turning down photographs and autographs with young fans not all of them but look its hard to take for them.
I think they will bounce back and battle past Wexford but that will be an interesting game. Wexford have nothing to lose and will put in a big performance I'm sure.
For Tipp lessons must be learned from 2015. if we had beaten Galway we'd have won the all-Ireland last year. However this year im not too sure Kilkenny are getting a lot of ammunition with pundits saying their panel are not as strong etc.
Id be wary too of Galway / Clare as Tipp will probably play the winner of that game.
If im been honest as a Tipp man I don't fancy meeting Clare in Croke Park!!!

Yeah there has been a complete over reaction to Waterford's performance yesterday. Derek McGrath is a good manager and he will learn an awful lot from this if he is not run out of the job in some knee jerk reaction.

Clare would love to ambush us in croke park but I think Galway will beat them. We will definitely be vulnerable the next day but hopefully we will have learned from last year.
