I sure hope so. Tipp can score goals and Galway give up plenty of goals so we'll need our forwards to be VERY PRODUCTIVE. I expect Clare to win too but Dublin are due for an upset sooner or later.

It's been in the news all week! It is an offensive term used for Travellers and they are rightly annoyed at it, although that was not the sense in which your man Kennedy used it. It has entire other context. And yes it is used frequently about Dubs. Not only by non Dubs but by uppity Dubs against lads and girls from places like Finglas and Ballymun. As i think has been referenced by Philly McMahon and others in that TG4 doc on Kickhams. Anyway, abuse is unacceptable no matter who it is directed against nor for whatever reasons, and I'm sure Chin has had to put up with a bellyful of it over the years including and possibly even mostly from your fellow countymen. Trying to get rid of it by making exceptions and abandoning matches in specific circumstances is neither going to work, nor is it consistent.

Tipp give up plenty of goal opportunities so our forwards can definitely hurt them. I think if our backs are solid our forwards will take care of things and deliver the goods. For me it's more important that our backs are dominant katser (Galway) - Posts: 2667 - 21/06/2023 13:42:14 2488147 Link 1 |

The subject becomes trickier still when you take into account the fact that most of the people claiming to be outraged by the "k word" would themselves be quite aghast if they saw a family of "k's" moving into the house next door. The hypocrisy and overt double standards that some of these self proclaimed left wing progressives practice on so many issues is both infuriating and hilarious at the same time. Anyways back to hurling,, this is for the non gaa forum by right. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 21/06/2023 13:54:47 2488152 Link 1 |

Still don't know what the K word is Barney. I'll have to Google it! Just asked my wife and teenage daughter over lunch they couldn't think of one either!!!! Unless it's K******* and that's hardly new. A K****** is someone who disposed of horses back in the day, recycling what he could. Good trade. Like a T***** back in the day was a Tinsmith who made pots, pans, and cups. The problem isn't the words themselves. It's the type of people who use them out of context.

Yes, forum should be about hurling. If Tipp wasn't one of the so called big 3, the county wouldn't attract so much hostility on this forum. Great game in store at weekend, and as a neutral am looking forward to it. Tipperary have momentum, some great forwards back from injury, and if they can tighten up defense should take it. It should be a rip roaring battle.

Cork and Kilkenny are part of the big 3 and I certainly don't see much hostility to them. Must just be a coincidence.

You originally said "Why is it always them?". To me that's the same as saying that it's never anyone else. Now you say "I am not saying it doesn't happen with any other county", but you've stopped short of saying that it does indeed happen elsewhere. Can you not be completely honest and acknowledge that there have been instances of abuse in Wexford, or do you prefer to see and hear only what you want to see and hear? If someone is highlighting the misbehaviour of people from one county and choosing to ignore any misbehaviour from a minority in all other counties, is that not a form of racism? Personally, in over 50 years of attending GAA matches all over the country, I have occasionally experienced some nasty stuff from people in many counties, but I have to say that my experience of GAA people all over the country is very positive. Wexford would be very high on my list of favourite other counties and I won't allow the blinkered attitude of one person to change that.

Tipp are fully fit bar a few for the bench, Heffernan, Browne, Cadell, Mcgrath, Connolly. They will play like savages and run themselves into the ground. They have a few class hurlers too, Noel Mcgrath, Forde, Morris, Maher, Barrett. They will be a handful but if Galway show up I fancy them to win. Its an "if" as always though!

Cork and Kilkenny just know they're better and aren't so insecure that they have to keep telling the rest of us!

I have seen Tipp men strike an elderly man leaving Croke Pk. After roaring in his face and he trying to walk away from them. I've seen them wreck trains after matches which had toi be stopped. I've seen them fight among themselves behind the terrace in Thurles. I've seen them racially abuse a player. And I've heard them say some very vile things throughout matches. Have I seen a Westmeath person ever do any of the above? No. Nor a Kilkenny man or a Limerick man,. I am not preferring what I see or hear, I am telling you what I have seen. I don't belive this is racism no. And I agree with you on points most Gaa people and counties all over Ireland give us positive experiences.
