What does everyone make of it so far? Seems to be an awful lot of wides and scrappy enough at times. Can Tipp come back from 6 down? mrsme (USA) - Posts: 172 - 23/04/2017 16:06:31 1981879 Link
Replying To mrsme: "What does everyone make of it so far? Seems to be an awful lot of wides and scrappy enough at times. Can Tipp come back from 6 down?" Way too many wides by both teams. Galway are giving us a liveline here, they should be another 4 or 5 points ahead. I think we can come back but we need a couple of goals like last week. It's an enjoyable game, wides aside, to watch, it's a good manly game between two top teams. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 23/04/2017 16:23:54 1981885 Link
Shocking from Tipp half forwards not winning ball again. Well done Galway game over already. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 23/04/2017 16:40:12 1981889 Link
Game over now anyway. Galway far hungrier and probably another goal in them too. St.Conleth (Kildare) - Posts: 1700 - 23/04/2017 16:46:14 1981893 Link

Where did that performance by Galway come out of. Fantastic neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 23/04/2017 17:06:56 1981901 Link
As I said people building Tipp up on the back of few league games, now they will turn to Building Galway up just like this time last year it was all Clare. When will some people cop it year after year league and championship are miles apart. KK must be jumping up and down with excitment. therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 23/04/2017 17:31:24 1981905 Link

It is as you say all about the championship.Doubt Kilkenny will be jumping up with excitement having seen Galway today though. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2156 - 23/04/2017 17:38:47 1981909 Link
Galway were absolutely flying it today but they are capable of putting in a performance like that from time to time and not following it up. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that Tipp's performance was reminiscent of a team that had the arse run out of it that morning.......? ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 23/04/2017 17:46:17 1981913 Link
True about Tipperary being talked up back to square one. We needed a bad game before the championship and lots to work to do thank feck!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 23/04/2017 17:56:11 1981917 Link

Hats off to Galway on a great performance. Worryingly from a Tipp point of view is that the score line flattered Galway. Galway could have easily hit us for another 2 - 4 to 3 - 6 in chances they left after them on the pitch today. Maybe Tipp were flat after such a tough battle last week. Wexford had Tipp under serious pressure for the first 55 - 60 minutes of that game. Whereas Galway beat Limerick pulling up, Usain Bolt style in a 100m first round heat. I know am seriously clutching straws with that theory. Whatever the reason, sometimes you have an off day where nothing goes right for you like bonnar hitting the crossbar at the end. We'll lick our wounds cos that's all we can do now. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 23/04/2017 18:36:43 1981929 Link
I'm Tipp's biggest fan but can we stop with the same bs on here every time a team gets hammered "oh they must have trained really hard all week" , no on the day they got hammered cause Galway were way better. Still fancy Tipp to win the big one. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 23/04/2017 18:42:19 1981930 Link

The fact is Tipp failed their two big test so far, KK and now Galway. We are now third or fourth favourites for the all Ireland therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 23/04/2017 19:00:23 1981945 Link

Galway could have won by another 8 points easy. They were excellent and like the last 2 years - wont be too far off an All-Ireland Tipp were hit by a train - they have been in 2nd gear all during the league and it was good enough - but today it wasn't by far. They have the best panel in the Country and will be hard to beat come Championship.

They really wanted it today, clever with puck outs short pass to corner back and very little high ball hit down on top of Paudie Maher who was totally out of the game today. Galway will be hard bet in Leinster but after today Munster looks wide open ke40 (Kildare) - Posts: 209 - 23/04/2017 19:36:38 1981961 Link

Are they not fit enough , like How much training do county players need? plus how could these guys get so unfit after a few months off season? crazy talk. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 23/04/2017 19:38:50 1981962 Link
