Replying To tiobraid: "Come back to me next week if this fixture is up then.." Seeing that "this fixture is up" Tipp are 8/11 odds on favourites with Paddy Power to beat Galway on Saturday with Galway just at 11/8. Sounds about right in fairness given the contrasting form of both teams this year. tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3470 - 21/06/2023 10:14:00 2488040 Link
Replying To katser: "Cahills tactics since he took over have been to just shoot at the posts and try outscore the opposition which leaves them vulnerable at the back." His team plays a far shorter game than any Tipp team before him. They are concentrating on working the ball in for goals rather than the more traditional Tipp way of a long ball inside. Plenty of changes to the way Tipp normally play. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14250 - 21/06/2023 10:34:46 2488049 Link
Here's hoping there are a few changes for tipp on Saturday. For me, daithi back to 3, McInerney benched, mannion at 6 with linnane on the wing, Killeen in for Conor cooney. Here's hoping Jackson88 (Galway) - Posts: 72 - 21/06/2023 18:31:25 2488246 Link

Hey listen I'm no Tipp fan but one thing you have to admit: THEY CAN SCORE GOALS. Whether it was Lar Corbett, Seamus Callinan, Forde, or whoever: they scored lots of goals.

It'll be a battle no matter what. Tipp may get an early lead then they have that typical 20 minute lull where they do nothing then Galway will make it close, then we'll see I suppose.

I see myself and KATZER and one other lad picked Galway to beat Tipp in the other thread. Ok. Fair enough. Galway have some work to do to convince ye. Galway Abu. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2282 - 22/06/2023 02:28:27 2488302 Link
Replying To katser: "Cahills tactics since he took over have been to just shoot at the posts and try outscore the opposition which leaves them vulnerable at the back." It seems like a good policy to me anyway to outscore the opposition. No doubt the katser, she has a better plan! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2118 - 22/06/2023 03:26:28 2488305 Link
Replying To kiloughter: "Katser I think whoever wins on Sat have a great chance against Limerick in the semi final. Nice break between games unlike in football where some of the preliminary quarter finalists will play 3 weeks in a row. As for Sat hard to call. The fact Tipp scored a pile of goals the last day does not concern me in that often in a subsequent match some of those opportunities go anywhere but into the net. If we marshall their key forwards I think we will win. Massive weekend for Galway GAA so I hope Galway folk turn out in their droves to support both our senior teams." It sure is a massive Weekend for Galway, up against clearly our two biggest rivals of all time in hurling and football. Tipperary in hurling where it borders the home of Galway Hurling in East Galway and Mayo in Football where it borders the home of Galway Football in North Galway. It could be a disaster where both hurlers and footballers are knocked out within 24hrs, but I'm confident We can win both!! Best of luck to our hurlers and footballers this Weekend. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 22/06/2023 06:45:24 2488308 Link

I think the hurlers will win this weekend. Galway by 2/3 points, I have a feeling we get a Cathal Mannion masterclass wherever he plays Kinvara (Galway) - Posts: 182 - 22/06/2023 10:44:16 2488352 Link

Replying To Trump2020: "Hey listen I'm no Tipp fan but one thing you have to admit: THEY CAN SCORE GOALS. Whether it was Lar Corbett, Seamus Callinan, Forde, or whoever: they scored lots of goals." Yep. Just making them a different way this year though. Think your team would've suited stopping the old way they scored goals better. Having said all that I still think you will win!

Replying To Stool Pigeon: "Good thing youre not picking the team so" There are some people in Galway hurling that don't like to hear the truth... Too many players playing today that are way passed their sell by dates, anybody that watches club hurling in Galway knows j cooney is the best 6 in the county.

Replying To Jackson88: "There are some people in Galway hurling that don't like to hear the truth... Too many players playing today that are way passed their sell by dates, anybody that watches club hurling in Galway knows j cooney is the best 6 in the county." And Conor Cooney is by far the best forward in club hurling! Really like Joe at 6, but we are again robbing the team of his ability going forward. Just a great all rounder. I'd like to see him at 6 and Daithi at 3 or even 8. I'd be expecting a few changes this weekend either way. Think Sean Linnane will start. Has show coming on against Dub and Kk that he can do a job around the middle, maybe man marking job on Noel McGrath hurlingfan90 (Galway) - Posts: 19 - 22/06/2023 15:35:20 2488463 Link
Replying To Kinvara: "I think the hurlers will win this weekend. Galway by 2/3 points, I have a feeling we get a Cathal Mannion masterclass wherever he plays" His equivalent in Tipp is Noel McGrath so there's the rub! tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3470 - 22/06/2023 16:55:50 2488487 Link
I hate to sound complacent (I know the players wont be) but I dont think this Tipp team will trouble us at all. Im going for a 5-8 point Galway win. Bearing in mind its unusual for Galway to win by this much of a buffer. I think the semi final against Limerick will be an entirely difference scenario and who knows after that. lets not get too ahead of ourselves. Would love to see MD doing it for Dublin but dont think they have the quality, so its a Clare win for me of about 10 points also. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 441 - 22/06/2023 16:59:34 2488489 Link

Oisin coyle is a better half back than McInerney, and Jamie Ryan is a better forward than any of the forwards on the bench currently Jackson88 (Galway) - Posts: 72 - 22/06/2023 19:14:37 2488513 Link
CONOR COONEY NOT STARTING! Just saw the Galway starters on Twitter. Wow. Could it be the end of an era?!? I think himself and Jason Flynn would be mighty off the bench late in matches. Galway Abu. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2282 - 22/06/2023 21:02:12 2488521 Link
