All Ireland Hurling Semi Final Cork v Tipp

Sport
561

Is Aidan Walsh even more shit at hurling than he is at football?

562

He’s making a strong case for himself today.

563

I actually think he is OK as a ref, but he’s having a shit game here.

Poor game tho. Just brainless thumping of the ball up and down the field. Tipp doing a bit more with their puck outs and with their midfield being on top is what is edging them.

564

Why are hurling refs so consistently bad at the moment? There are some awful blind cunts of refs out there.

565

Cody might even start Shefflin at this rate, it will be so easy

566

Eddie Brennan: “No disrespect to junior hurling” :smiley:

Kearney kept cork in it for ages. Tipp have overdone the hoofing the ball in and have ignored bonnar in the main who has the beating of any cork back. Cork are sticky though but no horgan no party. Bergin cleaning house here, ryan and callinan after goal have gone into hiding

568

Jaimsie dressed imaculately again. He didn’t get that clobber in p bourke or mannix

569

Cork for all their wides are still creating much more shooting chances and are only two down. They don’t look like scoring a goal though. I think Tipp wlll get at least one more goal.

570

Paudie Maher is hurling up a storm for Tipp. Cork forwards seem to be afraid of him.

571

Jesus Cork have been very poor. Poor decision making, terrible shooting, mediocre workrate.
And they are only 2 points behind on a team that should be putting them to the swords.

How are they letting Tipp get the short puck outs out to the 65. Once is forgivable but 5 or 6 times you have to wonder what they fuck they are doing.
Some lads out there think they can have a fortnight on the ball before they can hit it.

Shane O’Neilll :smiley:

He started the first 1/4 leaving everything go and then made about 4-5 strange calls in a row that were neither frees or had a clear advantage.
Kearney has got away with about 4 frees, all in score able positions for Tipp. He is almost trying too hard. Everything is over cooked, the tackling, the ball into forwards.

Corks back sorted things out but now it’s a game of 7v5 at each end. The main difference being tips better puck outs. Nash needs to mix it up a bit.

Tipp should have about 1-3 to 1-5 more scored. They are flaky enough up front for all their ability. Cork seem to be running into each other. Over psyched possibly.

573

Another handy AI for Kilkenny.

574

5 week lay off has an effect, you’d expect cork to push on but that fb line has been really living on the edge

575

Cork will win

What’s the story with the shane o Neill bashing, you like to put yourself out there as a student of the game. Anyone who watches 10 games a year at a decent level can see what was going on. They matched him up against a guy with a two foot reach advantage and Tipp hit good high ball in. Since the 2nd big catch SON has actually got the better of Callinan. But what exactly is he supposed to do with high ball?

577

0-3 for bubbles again, didn’t realise he’d done that damage

578

Kilkenny seem to be the only team that can have a long lay off and still come out sharp.

579

Catch it

Shane o neill isn’t related to a full back
