Barring ourselves Flanders I dont think any county cares about hurling in Thurles even v Tipp. Its a great place to hurl and a fantastic venue. crossfieldball (Galway) - Posts: 650 - 15/07/2014 17:41:09 1619816 Link 0 |

Flanders your post might be viewed as sour grapes since our boys were a few fries short of a happy meal. The Leinster c'ship is coming to Salthill next year so I think we have no complaints. Tipp are always gracious hosts for Galway and others. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1764 - 15/07/2014 17:54:33 1619841 Link 0 |
Oh ya it's all a fix...... Tipp V Limerick home and away agreement, Tipp V Galway first team out of bowl has home advantage. therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 15/07/2014 18:01:16 1619846 Link 0 |
No not sour grapes. I was very conscious of that and didn't mention the game once. Just reading that they played Limerick, Galway and now Dublin at home, come on you can't say that it isn't hugely advantageous for them? Whether it's home/away agreement or luck of the draw, it certainly has worked out well for them. Flanders (Galway) - Posts: 604 - 15/07/2014 18:26:04 1619867 Link 0 |

I see paddy power have Tipp at 4/11.Sounds about right to me.If the game was in Croke Park Tipp would be 8/11 id say.The bookies are accounting for the home advantage for Tipp.And rightly so.No doubt its worth a few points.Tipp to win with a bit to spare. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 15/07/2014 19:26:44 1619902 Link 0 |
Flanders what's your point exactly, so the home and away agreement should of being done away with because it was Tipp turn to be at home, the luck of the draw you say what about last year when we got KK in Nowlan park ? I really don't see what your complaining about, this game could as easily being in Croker which would of seen Dublin playing at home. therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 15/07/2014 19:46:20 1619909 Link 0 |
If your good enough you will win no matter where the venue is. Take the football qualifiers last weekend. In round 3 in section A all the away teams won. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 15/07/2014 20:45:18 1619955 Link 0 |

It's the way it goes. Lets not make an issue of it. The Dublin Region have home games in football. The cookie is crumbling Tipp's way in the hurling. Tipp and Limerick have a home and away arrangement for starters. Tipp had luck of the draw for other home ties. The way it goes. Thurles is the traditional venue now for the quarter-finals. Many are aware of it at the start of the championship. Many teams gain an opportunity to play there, including the Kingdom of Kerry who won the 2A title there this year and sadly lost out to Offaly there in a 1B play-off. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 9162 - 15/07/2014 21:56:48 1620029 Link 0 |

How often have other dual counties had footballers away to Cork on a Saturday and hurlers away to Wexford the next day. Naysayer (Antrim) - Posts: 2071 - 16/07/2014 09:41:18 1620064 Link 0 |
Flanders I am not sure why so many are disagreeing with your comment and all the posters here who said that playing at home is not an advantage are either stupid or not telling the truth. In any sport being at home is a big advantage. Ask the Cork hurlers why they tried so hard to have the Munster final in Cork last weekend.

Dublin have only beaten Tipp in Tipp once in my life time and that was in 1989 in Nenagh. So we can't be very optimistic! Having said that this is the game that will define them. I love going to Thurles for big match days so no complaints here. Should be great atmosphere especially if the Wexicans are playing Limerick as Wex will bring huge crowd. And Doyler will stay back to shout for the Dubs :-) hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 16/07/2014 11:13:38 1620109 Link 0 |
