All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019 II*** Up Laois

After finn got done for the goal he wasn’t letting reid in, fairly took the legs from him and carded. A big moment

Richie Hogan didn’t start in the Leinster Final. Donohoe had a good game on Alan Murphy and then Ger Aylward.

Oooft. He started the Cork game. I was mixing them up for some bizarre reason

He was excellent against Cork

Are Kilkenny the first team to reach an All Ireland Senior Hurling Final having lost twice in their championship campaign?

H-Offaly in 1998.

I recall the incident. No free either

Has the whole thing opened up for Tipp or did the Munster final completely take the wind out of their sails?

They have a full forward line which will cause Kilkenny problems they werent asked last night. I think they will get over a wexford side who played above themselves in the leinster final. I think I might take a speculative punt on them at 7/4 for the A/I this morning and 5/1 on Callinan for HOTY

Can they out work kk?

They will feel they can open up the back line if there half back line gives them any type of a platform and I think they would

They wouldn’t shoot the wides Limerick did

This is true… Anyway, fuck it… When is the NFL back bro?

9/5 a wee while away yet. Did you book Philly?

It’s in the balance — other factors at play

Two Brady’s!?

I don’t think we played above ourselves. This Wexford team has matched Kilkenny since Davy took over and looked like we were going to give them a hole opening in Nowlan Park last year until we ran out of steam.

Tipperary have a better spread of hurlers but fuck it they’re soft and need it to be loose. It won’t be loose.

I suppose I’m looking at the fact that chin scored every free and ye hit three wides in terms of scoring economy being much higher than the mean as opposed to work rate or effort.

Wexford have a great chance today but aside from that Leinster final they normally leave too many scoring chances behind them. Tipp on the other hand have seriously economical forwards like Bubbles and John Mcgrath who can be tight marked and may only get 5 or 6 balls in his hand all game and end up with 4 points from play each.

Surely Kilkennys odds will drift with Tipp as final opponents and conversely Tipps should shorten.
Kilkenny cant be going into the final as favourites, that’s just wrong.

Kilkenny beat limerick. Tipp got hammered by limerick.

So Tipp would be about 4/5 vs Kilkenny should they meet. 8/15 doubled with 4/5 is about 7/4. I think that’s it anyway .
