Interested to get people's views on this one. Galway have been impressive on occasion but lack consistency over the course of the year. Tipp have huge momentum behind them and some very talented players. How do people think it will go? Rocky.Road (Galway) - Posts: 374 - 27/07/2016 09:10:24 1890782 Link 0 |
If Galway can keep Quinlivan under wraps, they should win this one. They are very strong in midfield and Comer and Cummins are in great form. Galway by 3 cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5010 - 27/07/2016 09:28:18 1890792 Link 0 |
I hope the lads are totally focused on this game and not thinking about a semi-final. This will be a tough game especially if some of Tipp's forwards get quality ball into them. I hope Kevin Walsh has that drilled into them. mon (Galway) - Posts: 675 - 27/07/2016 12:54:14 1890912 Link 0 |
We are conceding way too much and Danny Cummins is on fire. It looks ominous. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 27/07/2016 13:05:36 1890919 Link 0 |
I'd love to see Tipp do it but fear they concede too much and a team with the attacking talent of Galway could put up a scoreline that they just can't overhaul. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 27/07/2016 13:27:29 1890925 Link 0 |
Difficult to call. Tipp have very good footballers with a strong midfield. However, at times, they can be very naive and a prone to lapses in concentration at the back. Galway defensive system will ask searching questions of the Tipp forwards. Normally I support my own province but I would love to see Tipp make the break through, particularly after so many of their players opting out. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 27/07/2016 15:20:04 1891006 Link 0 |
I think most people that have posted have hit the nail on the head. I feel tipps style will suit Galway down the ground and I think croke park will suit Galway too. It's still a massive opportunity for tipp tho but I fear we will fall short by 5-6pts. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 27/07/2016 17:53:18 1891108 Link 1 |
I have a sneaky feeling for Tipp.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 27/07/2016 17:57:06 1891112 Link 0 |
I don't think Galway will play a sweeper I expect it to be man for man. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 27/07/2016 17:58:54 1891115 Link 0 |
Fear Galway could dominate at midfield. We've been scoring heavily but to limit Galway from scoring we'll need to limit the possession they get... Conroy and Flynn are a superior midfield to Acheson and Hannigan, though Acheson is a phenomenal player, could play anywhere really. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 27/07/2016 18:21:16 1891124 Link 0 |
All cute hoorism aside Im concerned about this one. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 27/07/2016 18:54:53 1891138 Link 0 |
Good point Ziggy, hopefully plenty of porter was drank in Galway since the Roscommon win. I really rate Walsh though and I think he will have Galway well prepared for this match. I think Galway will give us plenty of respect too if we are going to win this we will have to be switched on for 70 mins. One of the earlier posts made the valid point that we leak soft scores through defensive lapses in concentration and Galway have the firepower to take full advantage. Fingers crossed it will be the open free flowing game we all think it's going to be. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 27/07/2016 19:14:21 1891153 Link 0 |
Just How good are Galway? Beat an out if sorts Mayo and a hopelessly inept Roscommon team in the replay. salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 27/07/2016 19:46:07 1891170 Link 0 |
I see James Horan is backing Tipp to win on Sunday, nothing new as he backed Mayo and the Rossies as well.. In all fairness both teams are in bonus territory and it will be great to see them playing in Croker. From a Galway point of view, i fear that these Tipp forwards will cause us problems more than Mayo and Roscommon. Unlike those two they are well able to kick points off either foot from open play. Its a 50/50 game.. Belclare1 (Galway) - Posts: 1626 - 28/07/2016 08:13:23 1891322 Link 0 |
True but just remember this is foreign to most of these Galway players as it is to Tipp.Not sure many(if any) Galway players have played in a game like this in Croke Park?

Where did he back Tipp for this one Belclare? He has never had any time for this galway team, not that it will bother them one bit!

I actually think that win by Tipp in Derry cant be underestimated. That was one of the biggest wins outside of winning a Munster Final they will ever get. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 28/07/2016 09:48:50 1891358 Link 0 |
Galway have plenty of experienced players who have played in big games in Croke Park with the likes of Paul Conroy, Gary Sice, Gareth Bradshaw, Gary O'Donnell, Danny Cummins, Finian Hanley. I think Galway will come through this, would love to see them go on and get back to All Ireland final

i am really looking forward to this . In hurling Tipp and Galway have served up some classics down the years, they seem to bring out the best in one another.The way both counties play football could result in the game of the year to date next Sunday.

Definitely a 50 50 game. Although hypothetical I would think Galway could do more damage down the road if it is Tyrone who awaits the winner. Call it traditional, lack of fear or whatever. On Sunday though both teams will let each other play to a degree which makes it pretty even. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 28/07/2016 11:39:42 1891423 Link 0 |
