Just give the 15 to Galway men altogether while you are at it :)

Farce really Matt O'Hanlon, Diarmud O'Keefe were superb throughout 2017, Lee Chin gave an display power and skill v Kilkenny and Shaun Murphy probably best back throughout the league, the competition that runs for half the year and gets completely forgotten come awards season.

Yeah they were all really good this year but not all star level. You could name two really strong alternative teams to the all star 15. I think you are looking at the all stars through purple and gold tinted glasses. O'Hanlon wasn't better than McInerney. You wouldn't be swapping Chin in for Burke, Barron, Moran, Canning or Walsh. O'Keefe wasn't better than Maher, Coleman or Mannion. DeBurca and Fives are better sweepers than Murphy. Wexford had a good season but they faded as the season went on. Galway and Waterford were comfortable against them, even after DeBurca's red card in Waterford's case. The Big talking point in my opinion is how Tuohy missed out for Coleman.

I am watching Tipp hurlers for the past five and a half decades and I never saw any of them that could 'not be bothered' and if they had that attitude even if Tipp were twenty points ahead they would not be wearing the Premier County jersey for long.

Great post. The other poster managed to belittle Doyle and Callanan in the one post, some going. Westmeath pushed Tipp all the way that day and that's why this new championship structure will set back Hurling's development. All about the marketing push for the white elephant that will be the 'Super 8s'. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 04/11/2017 16:14:23 2060445 Link 0 |
I have nothing bad to say about Nash, He is a fine keeper and will show that for a long time to come. His puck out strategy did not work in the semi final mainly because Waterford dealt with it. If it was o 20 to f 30 meters they allowed Cork have it. If it was outside that they pressurized and turned them over. O'Keeffe showed again the last two Sundays in club championship why he is number 1. I am not sure where you are going with the won nothing comment. Waterford were with in a puck of the ball of the All -Ireland champions a position that 30 other counties did not enjoy. May be the All-Ireland will elude them again but for a county with the resources available they can be proud of the performances given. Their former stars do not mind giving a helping hand to your county either. The subject is about the All-Star selections that is always subjective and the only one getting nasty is you.
