stekhli:

Glimpses alright but what makes you think it all going to fall into place.... you mention last years u21's aswell well did the tipp u21's not show what they are capble of too in that championship and also what they are capable of in the senior championship!!! So let me get this straight tipp are overrated and clare are underrated, even though tipp have produced in the championship and clare havn't (add to that a fairly bad league proformance build it up all you want but they were beaten 3 times in the league in a lower division where a top team should walk it). Clare are a long ways from the finished article and I can see the artricle being finish by sunday.

Sorry who did dillion play against in midfield in the league, I know he played center back agaist Limerick, antrim and also laois I think, no disrespect to the other teams but playing well in midfield against them is no benchmark for how well he'll play midfield against a top championship side!!! If dillon is put midfield then who will they play center back seems a case of robbing peter to pay paul. You take dillion out of center back and the clare back line is weaker in my view!!

I am well aware of how many all Ireland's each county won at senior level in the last 40 years. However I was talking about overall, underage, colleges, IMPACT, leagues and the whole picture.

And Galway are certainly well ahead of Tipp, and Offaly were.

tipp are extremely overated hag and cheese , clare are very unknown and due to loosing the division 2 final arent rated at all despite being a very talented team , dillon wont satrt in either position hag and cheese , hes another talented young player but will miss out as brendan buglar looks set to fillthe centre back slot , with nicky oconnell and clancy set to be the mf pairing

Good man pat I'll give you one thing anyways your entertaining with you non sensical ramblings..... we know you don't like tipp and your reasons are firmily based in history twas around the 1960's you developed your dislike right, 50+ years of holding a grudge, maybe about time you finished off that bridge and got over it.

the problem for Patrique hag is that the dominance of the 50s and 60s are here again!

Is there a college in offaly I take it your talking about 3rd level.


As usual you would be wrong.

Colleges GAA results will give you Hogan and Croke cups and stuff like that. You know, like Birr Community College?

And really, if you know there are no 3rd level colleges in Offaly what gave you the idea the conversation might be about that?

Unless you really are daft and not just pretending to be.

steakhli tipp are overated im getting tired of your never ending ramblings if any team are over rated its dublin clare WILL get well beat sunday and any educated hurling man even those who know little can read the facts and come to the same conclusion....tipp have nothing to prove to anyone they were streets ahead of all kk included last year as i stated before clare have 4 debutants came second in a very poor div2 and have no leaders you go on about dillon honan ect its like comparing kilbane and messie for feck sake ...i doubt you will be heading into ladbrooks sunday with clare to beat tipp on your docket

And really, if you know there are no 3rd level colleges in Offaly what gave you the idea the conversation might be about that?

Unless you really are daft and not just pretending to be. I'm sorry pat I thought the whole point of having a discussion with you is to be as daft as possible

Aye saint flannan's have won a fair few colleges recruiting tipp and limerick players st. kierans would have had a few tipp lads playing with them eoin kelly being one. Likes of thurles CBS and nenagh cbs have been in finals a fair bit..... many offaly lads would have went to school in roscrea also.

Poor ould pat likes to wum but dosen't like when people do it to him!!

stekhli:

Settle pettle if you look at the post I was highlighting points that Patrique has made, I've actually been enjoying the discussion with you I totally don't agree with any of what you say but appreciate the discussion and your view on players etc.

Bonnar maher not a ball winner?? thats the strong part of his game he's not a scoring forward, his ball winning was one of the main reason tipp won an all-ireland last year

Yet another would-be interesting discussion undone by loudmouths, WUMMING & childish bickering, shame really, you always get that to some degree on any discussion forum but you get it ot a ridiculous degree on this one.

Anyhoo, on an adulterated note I read this morning that O' Mahony is back in the Tipp side which is a boost for them. Any word in Tipp as to how long it will be before Brendan Maher is back? It's a shame a young talent like him is missing the championship like this

Plus, my prediction for this weekend is Tipperary 2-19 Clare 1-14 and Dublin 1-20 Galway 3-18

brendan maher is fit , just tipp dont feel the need to use him , thats a decent clare team and bench , no buglar , quinn , ryan , collins .........dont know much about cathal mcinerney besides the fact that he played for ard scoil ris last year at wing back so he must be a talent to be already on the senior team , mcmahon is ssort of clares version of john obrien , hes a good goal scorer mcmahon is and he makes up a dangerous looking ff line along with mcgrath and the mercurial darach honan , dillon will pick up corbett has similar attributes in pace and height , cooney on obrien and vaughan on kelly
