All Ireland Hurling Semi Final Cork v Tipp

Tipp need to move Mcgrath to 11 now, Ellis gone to cover Oneill

Why are they shooting on sight, they have far more time on the ball.

Only for Ellis Tipp would be out of sight. Half forwards for Cork are terrible

Cork will win this

Shite game so farā€¦

Cork will cop onto the short puck-outs pretty soon. Interesting to see what Tipp will do then.

No, Oā€™Neill playing Callinans way into hurler of the year. How much more evidence do Cork need that he is not a full back.

Some of the ball into the Cork forwards is awful.

+Plus 1 one.

They are still in first gear hereā€¦

JBM and the lads being seriously tactically out done here. Puck outs and half forwards killing Cork

Shane McGrath playing his best game in years.

Whatā€™s wrong with Horgan?

Cork have started slow all year. 4 points in it is nothing.

They havenā€™t started slow ! 7 wides

What do you mean? Frees? Itā€™s not like heā€™s usually massively prominent from play.

Fucking hell, 3 Cork lads just jumped out of Woodlocks way there

I thought Tipp had a far inferior midfield to cork? Totally dictating the game here

Tipp seem to be much better at the basics, i.e. putting the ball over the bar.

Is that Aidan Walsh the same donkey that plays the football?

Pa Cronin is an average hurler.

Long ball hasnā€™t worked for tipp for at least 15 mins yet they are persisting with it?

Ya but Tipp are a confidence team.

You are right though, they come from behind.

However this seems different, Corks tactics are fucking dreadful. No need for free tipp men on puck outs, it looks like 6v6.

Tipp have dismantled the half forward line and midfield of Cork, its actually got very little to do with Corks backs.
