kk fans seem very sensitive, must be the pressure getting to them. without "king" henry and tommy maybe they feel the 5 in a row isn't such a certainty.

mikeoc we want all those players on or wel have to listen to excuses for the next ten years like the excuses they gave to Limerick in 1973. Tipp want them all on or it could be another 1964 twas 14 or 15 points that day I can see it happening again oh oh!

That was a good training session for Tipp yesterday fair play to Waterford I didnt see them coming that close to Tipp!

thurlesblues (Tipperary) - Posts: 4475 - 16/08/2010 08:46:30    746755

Eoin Kelly and Noel McGrath and Lar Corbett will do the same thing to Kilkenny as they did to Waterford yesterday!!

Tipp are definitely the best of the rest but Kilkenny even with their injuries mounting should take Tipp without getting out of third gear. T

Well said. Ultimately, he will be quitened on the 5th of September. Kilkenny might be missing a few players (I still think, and hope, that Henry will be playing) but they have so much confidence and class that they will still win by 5-6 points. The reason is, you are a class apart. Tipperary are very good but there are many doubts hanging over them. Some of the wides they hit yesterday were poor, they will be severely punished by Kilkenny if they are as profligate in front of the posts.

Tipps backs are very good but they will have to raise their game a notch or two to cope with Kilkenny. Can they do that? We will see. At midfield, I believe they may get the upperhand, possibly. Shane McGrath is outstanding but then again if he does get on top, KIlkenny have so many players to come in and quiten him, that it is frightening. The biggest doubts remain over their half forward line. No bad hurlers, and I suppose its a 20 man game nowadays, I just do not think that they are settled. On the other hand, Kilkenny's half back line, regardless of who is in it, will be outstanding.

Tipperary's full forward line has been very good and and will cause many problems for the Cats if they get the ball, but that is if they get the ball (enough ball that is).

I don't care who wins the final, and it is a bit of a cop out to back Kilkenny. ThurlesBLOUSE is very confident but he is unable to form a coherent argument that Tipp might win. As you said, anybody that would slag a great hurler, a legend, a genius, that is Tony Browne knows NOTHING about hurling and deserves to ignored.

didn't think we could be back here after the cork defeat but credit to the tipp lads and sheedy for getting back here if they raise their intensity work rate and performances from 1-15 u never know we may have a chance although the kilkenny defence looks much stronger with hickey back sp it doesn't look too good so kilkenny will probably win

Paddy Power are offering odds of 4/11 for Kilkenny and 9/4 for Tipperary. That seems about right. The minor betting doesnt give Clare a chance at all. Kilkenny are 1/10 and Clare are available at 6/1.

Much as I'd like to see Tipp win to break the monopoly, KK by 9.

It has all the signs of 1982 when Kerry missed the five in a row. Offaly also played well in 1981 final and despite some unpromising displays in 1982 made the final. Offaly were totally focused on Kerry in 1982 and I think the same could be said of Tipp this year. Tipp to beat Kilkenny by 2 points.
