Wexford raging hot favourites there according to Sheedy.

Agreed. Maybe could have done slightly better for Callanan’s goal but his puckouts were actually very good. Landed a few frees last week and obviously, there’s a lot of good feeling towards Laois and they may want to give them one. No obvious candidate so far.

Liam Sheedy reckons Wexford are “raging hot favourites” in their match up. The age old tactic of declaring yourself the underdog in gaa never fails to amaze me

They made a good fist of showing Wexford how shit they are today.

Twill be hard for Tipp coming into that as massive underdogs but they’ll give it a shot shur.

He was very windy for fennellys goal. He turned his arse

Young Collins is a much better keeper than him from what I have seen. Has an unreal puck out.

Whether the next Cork manager has the bottle to drop Nash is another thing.

Very accurate. He’ll be next man in

Ideal preparation for Tipp, being honest. Will be an intriguing battle v Wexford though.

11/4 with Boyles

Attendance predictions (the highlight of the GGA summer) for the semi finals
65k for Wexford Tipp
57k for Limerick Kilkenny.

They should drop 1-7 entirely, biggest joke defense in the game for years

the croke park bean counters were hoping for Cork v Limerick I suspect. You d be in 70k plus territory with that

Absolutely as good as an ai replays to them

2014 semi between Limerick and Kilkenny attracted an attendance of 45k. That game was held on a Sunday.

If there’s 65k at Tipp Wexford it could be the biggest crowd from one county ever at a GAA game apart from Dublin

They have managed this feat before at the '17 Leinster Final.

I’ve staunch Tipp men telling me they won’t go to another Tipp game as long as Barry plays full back.

There probably wasn’t much of a Limerick bandwagon support back in 2014 and Kilkenny are so success starved now after a four year famine, they’ll probably travel in droves.
