Replying To tiobraid:  "Paddypower have nothing up about that match because Tipp arent even playing Galway yet. We will see what the odds are if that match materialises. The two lads are touch and go so theres no guarantee if they'll be back this weekend. You can add Barrett to that as well."
I already posted the Paddy Power betting re Tipp and Galway earlier but to lay it out in a clearer fashion for you, here is the outright betting for all teams this time:

Limerick 8/11
Clare 4/1
KK 9/2
Tipp 8/1
Galway 10/1
Dublin 66/1
Offaly & Carlow 1000/1

8/1 is tighter odds than 10/1 all day long!

Replying To Stool Pigeon:  "It would be some negligence if one had a 'premonition' and did nothing to potentially alter the outcome, all the same. Be like having a premonition of a horse race and not having a bet on it.

That 'premonition' if he had it, wasn't much use, not that you'd know a lot about 'premonitions' given your refusal to ever call the result of a match in advance :)"
At least I don't make a fool of myself calling results incorrectly nearly all of the time like you do! lol

Replying To Trump2020:  "It really doesn't matter what either team has done as they always play each other close and I believe "IF" they meet again it will be the same old thing."
I totally agree and never said it would be any different! Some jumped to conclusions when I said I expect Galway to be warm favs!

I'd expect it to be close too, but I have a feeling you would be expecting Galway to win anyway!

The odds for the game arent up yet because there is no fixture. If Tipp come through against Offally by one or two points do you think that will alter the above prior to that potential fixture? I'd suggest it would

Why did Henry only trust 3 of his subs when most players were exhausted?

And I thoroughly enjoyed the Leinster final! Both sides served up a cracker. We will bounce back and have a rattle off Tipp. But...we need a strong bench that can be trusted. No point bringing lads to take the sun.

Replying To Tiger1:  "But maybe the goalie in his efforts to block the ball hit there head on the hard ground just saying don't always have to be hit by somebody."
All the more reason he needs to go off for a HIA, God forbid that we plays on after a "thump" like that to the head. Bring on a replacement until hes is assessed and declared fit to come back, but don't hold up the game coz some fella decides to take off his helmet

Replying To tiobraid:  "I'm not complimenting them and I thought they blew a Leinster final at the weekend but what form is out there to suggest Tipp can beat Galway? Tipp were beaten out the gate by a shell of a Waterford team the last day and a player who never played outfield at intercounty level before beat them almost on his own. Since the 2019 AI win, the Tipp results are:
Limerick - L
Cork - W
Galway - L
Clare - W
Limerick - L
Waterford - L
Waterford - L
Clare - L
Limerick - L
Cork - L
Clare - W
Cork - D
Limerick - D
Waterford - L

Basically have only beaten Cork and Clare in the cship since 2019 and it seems this years win against Clare wasnt a true reflection of where either teams are at. 3 wins from 14 and 1 in the last 10 cship games - not sure there is a team in the Liam with a worse win rate! Add in the fact Tipp are decimated from injuries and Ronan Maher is the only survivor from the back 6 last year, yet you're telling me Galway arent going to be warm favs with a team with experience all over the place.
Having said all that, if we get over Offaly which isnt a foregone conclusion based on the Waterford game I will still give us a fighting chance if Forde and Morris are back."
In essence tiobraid you are correct. However I feel Tipp are within one game or maybe a year of the pieces fitting together. There has been significant change with players who have had under age success and a change in style. Some of the old guard still there but transitioning all the time. Cahill style is more prominent. You put your head down and go straight for goal. In fairness he had Hutchison and Bennett doing the same and they looked much more dangerous.

Ah come on it will be a lot more than 1 or 2 points and you know it!

I cant argue with that but the Waterford game is surely a big reminder about how far away we still are. While I'm not for a second suggesting Waterford are a bad side, Tipp were really flat and offered very little against a team with a whole host of regulars missing and their keeper playing out field and played in Thurles aswell. A few people seem to think Galways loss threw up more question marks than that loss for Tipp but Galway at least fought back to go in front. Tipp never looked like fighting back despite knowing that they could exit the cship and so very nearly did. Dont get me wrong...overall this has been a positive year considering what has gone before but we are far from world beaters - even if I do feel we can match most teams on our day.

Who would you have swapped out in the closing stages though? Galway in the closing 8-10 minutes were well on top and winning nearly all the battles and at the breakdown, and the forwards were finding room and scoring. In fairness, TJ Brennan came on quite late and still made a contribution.

Tiobraid I've a sneaky feeling ye will get past Galway provided ye get over Offaly..ye were flat last day but that was after going head to toe with our boys,all teams have suffered physically after playing Limerick in match previous..Barrett will more than likely pick up whelan which might be a big problem for Galway..forde is probably close to making it back and he's worth 8/10 points for ye..I also think ye have forwards who will trouble the middle of Galway defence..

Is there a Tipperary Hurling thread anywhere, that you could discuss this among yourself!!

CTGAA 10. Should you not be on the Limerick or even the Tipperary forum instead of offering your tuppence-hapenny worth on the affairs of other counties?. Enjoy the Limerick streak while you can as it will inevitably come to a shuddering halt soon and you could be waiting a long time for another All Ireland. All counties tend to get too big for their boots when they think they're the top dog, especially like Limerick who have been the poor relation in hurling since the 1940s.

Hear hear well said - Tipp will be hot favourites as Galway will not be able to deal with all that firepower with Forde and Morris back!

The odds for the teams to reach the semi finals are up though on PP and they are:

Tipperary 4/6 to reach the semi final
Galway 11/10.

Tipp have to play 2 games to reach it and Galway have one. With those odds quoted it's plain to see Tipperary are and will be WARM favourites to beat Galway should the teams meet in the quarter final!

Let's get over offaly first. We don't always go very well in these games we are expected to win comfortably. Early cship form would suggest we are a match for anyone but look what happened waterford under Cahill last year. Tipp have trained savagely hard by all accounts so hopefully they've regained some freshness over last could of weeks
