Replying To tiobraid:  "I dont think too many consider us serious contenders and with two more season ending injuries from Sunday, Tipp are down to the bare bones at this stage. Even Canuck might soon be forced to admit we have worse luck and more reasonable excuses than Waterford..."
Tiobraid, what two players have Tipp now lost? Is Gearoid O'Connor one of them? I heard his injury resulted from being pushed over the line and falling on some photographic equipment. If that's true, it's something that needs to be addressed.

I think Geraoid o connor broke an ankle but I could be wrong? Did I hear Jake Morris might have an issue too?

Tiobraid I did not see it and would comment if I did. I take YOUR word for it and glad no Tipp player was injured. if you are drawing a comparison between breaking a hurley and kicking that is a sad reflection. Hurleys easily replaced. If Lyons was even attempting to injure one of yere players I would want him sanctioned.

I'm hearing that Gearoid O Connor will miss 3 to 4 weeks approx with ankle ligament damage. Forde I'm hearing will be back for an All Ireland quarter final and McGrath will be back gor quarter final too.

Replying To Oldtourman:  "Darragh is a Limerick man, a first cousin of Ritchie English. If he had opted for Limerick he would have four All Irelands, by now and possibly five, as he just might have made the difference in '19. Damian Cahallane is there since 2013. I just feel Kingston, O'Mahoney, Dalton and Jack Cullinane are not consistent enough to be part of a winning All Ireland side. Many of the '17 Limerick u21 had won four All Irelands before they were 25 and both Kyle Hayes and Peter Casey are not even 25 yet."
Who is Jack Cullinane?

Typo. Jack Cahillane-Diarmuid's Brother. Scored a good goal v Clare but taken off later in the game.

Canuck I sent you a link for a video of a kick by Austin Gleeson on breen and you were the only one who couldn't open the link. Everytime a waterford player is sent off he's provoked. Yet ye have a history of breaking opponents hurls and it's a non issue and not provoking. You just have nightmares about Breen's "kick"!

Gearoid O'Connor and Brian mcgrath. Both unlikely to play again for Tipp this year.
O'Connor did fall on a camera apparently and Mcgrath got a dirty belt from one of the Waterford forwards

I've no video of it but I saw with my own 2 eyes Austin Gleeson "drag his foot" so hard over Cathal Dunbars head when he was lying on the floor that Dunbars helmet was shattered and he needed a replacement. This in the challenge game the week before the League started this year.

Think you mean Conor Cahalane, Damian's brother. There is another brother, Jack Cahalane who wasn't playing.

So snapping a mans hurl in half is fine then? ye are a different breed.

I think most players would prefer to get a slap on the leg than have their hurley broken!

He scored a goal v Clare - not sure if that was Jack or Conor

Jack is actually the best one of them, but still a tad young for senior stuff. The older two would probably be better of focusing on playing football for Cork; good, honest hurlers but lack that crispness needed for inter-county.

Viking66 you have mentioned this before and I have no reason to doubt what you witnessed because you post honestly. If I witnessed it I would call it out also no matter what county player did it. However what has it got to do with Breen kicking Bennett which would be up there with the Gleeson incident you witnessed. Maybe do you think a notch above it on the deliberate scale ? However you are the one who witnessed it and contacting someone's head is serious. Or with Lyons breaking the stick. I don't think you are trying to project Waterford as the dirtiest team ever to play like your county poster. Everyone has skeletons in the closet including Wexford. Congratulations on retaining yere status as I like Wexford hurling and the people. Disappointed about Westmeath I would love to see them on a consistent basis show what they can do .

5 mins into under 20 final - is there a better hurler in the country right now than Screeney?
