2016 All Ireland Hurling Semi Final - Waterford v Kilkenny - in the melting pot

I know but we were horsed out it where it counted throughout the field. Callanan saved our bacon in defeat.

Would you say Tipp hurlers dream of Kilkenny on a regular basis?

Most nights maybe, When the boogy man isnā€™t there?

Galway beat Tipp last year with the last puck of the game pal, nobody had their holes opened. Your knowledge of hurling is very elementary. Galway won because they had men who stood up in the last ten minutes while your stars wilted.

This year is another year, two different teams on two different trajectories. Tipp coming off a glorious Munster final victory, Galway crushed by Kilkenny. If you canā€™t win this one, I predict there were be a lot of mental breakdowns.

Try again w/o the contradiction.

Lovely

Stick to the small ponds pal

Not a full back, crazy decision to play him there. Very good corner or wing back though as he has proven before and since.

Where is the contradiction Einstein?

Ponds. :grin:

Ye beat a one man band last year with the other 14 thinking of an AI parade in Croke Park. Tipp are a different animal this year.

If ye win Sunday, Iā€™ll tip my hat to ye.

And when we do, you and your ā€˜ladeensā€™ can still keep dreaming of KK for all we care

Just hope theyā€™re not waiting for yeā€¦

Hope itā€™s Waterford myself, though Iā€™d fancy our chances against either to be honest

All jokes aside. Whoever wins Sunday should see the deal out.

Great to see the bile from the other semi final lighting up this thread. Box office.

Interesting to see that Bandage accounts for the opinions of everyone in Wexford. We couldnt ask for a better representative, I suppose, so we couldnt.

Iā€™d love to see a Waterford Galway final. Iā€™m not sure why, but Waterford people have a serious hang up over Galway. I think it maybe because both have been there abouts to take a title and to be the next county to make the breakthrough, and neither like the other one being given the title of ā€œbest of the restā€, as if it has some sort of meaning. Of the teams left, Iā€™d love to see Galway win it out. Waterford IMO are a better side than Kilkenny, but they are too volatile. You know what you get from Kilkenny, a good honest performance and never say die. Waterford could do fucking anything. They should be fitter coming into the replay, and Thurles should be an advantage to them. But the way they collapsed on the field at the end as if they lost, the way they celebrated as if they won during the game. They have that inate ability to fuck things up and revert to the showy fist pumping headless hurlers that lurks in the back of them all. If they play the full 70 minutes to how McGrath instructs them, they will win. The question is if they can do that and not revert to type.
