All Ireland Hurling Semi Final Cork v Tipp

[TheUlteriorMotive]

@Whiplash

I couldn’t agree with that. Tipp have speed and agility now in every line of the field now. Anyway thankfully the game is about skill and accuracy and those traits will ultimately separate the contenders from the also rans. You have to remember that Tipp have beaten cork at all levels in recent times. Even in the U21 last year Tipp annihilated Cork who had several senior players on show that day. I just look at the various match ups throughout the field and I like what I see. Aidan Walsh is having a superb year and has been a real find for Cork. Himself and Kearney are really dominating their area but Tipp have a very dynamic midfield too. I think Tipp will shoot a similar points total that Limerick did and the goal chances Limerick created, I dont think Tipp will spurn. If Tipp shoot 2-22 I cant see them been beaten. Cork dont score enough goals and dont have that ruthless streak.

Case of they don’t need to score them because they rack up such high points totals but they scored two the last day and in the finals last year when they went looking because they needed goals they scored 6.

Anyway as the Limerick - Wexford thread showed you can make a logically convincing argument as to how a game might or might not go but the game isn’t played on here and all that theory can look very silly.

If Cork have their best players fit and available on the day then I think they have too much for Tipperary. Tipperary looked tired in last 10 or 15 minutes against Limerick and same happened to Limerick against Cork. If Cork get to half time at parity or in touching distance of teams they usually have more gas in the tank in the second half to win and are similar to Dublin footballers in that respect.

Cork’s form line is way ahead of Tipps.Just how good are Galway/Dublin? If Bonner Maher is quite who wins possession in the Tipp forward line? One thing that could totally fuck up Cork is if Mayo/Cork ends in a draw or AW picks up an injury. Or if the Prof goes down the tactical route and ends up like the league 1/4 final with a one man fullforward line/ sweeper . Cork hadn’t a clue how to play it

Tipp v Kilkenny AI final this year chaps.

Kilkenny to win if it works out that way. I don’t think it will though. I see Cork being to strong for Tipp with them going on to beat us comprehensively in the final.

[Gman]

Cork to win. I dont think Tipp have really beaten anyone of note so far either. Dublin were hanging in there for a long time yesterday until that second goal. I think Dublin were really poor this year, which puts our defeat to them into perspective too. Aidan Walsh will be key though at midfield. Tipp are finally getting it sorted there with McGrath and Woodlock, so as long as Walsh gets through the football and is good to go, that’ll have a big bearing on the result.

I suspect Nicky English may show interest in the Dublin job… and could would bring someone like Mattie Kenny in with him.

The Cork full back line is there to be cleaned, Tipp will win.

Nonsense. What did they do to Limerick.
Speed and agility is gran in every line, but Cork have it in almost every player.

Tipp by 6+. Callanan to destroy Shane O Neill

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Tipp will win this pulling up but we will destroy them in the final

I believe Nicky has been offered the job numerous times in the past and never accepted

Same with the Tipp job I think

I doubt it KP. The age profile of a lot of their better players is at the wrong end of the scale while the talent necessary to replace them are choosing football (this wont change).

Probably correct, I saw them dining together recently so I was just surmising…

@Dirty Hands Walter

Who would be a good option from within the county, pal?

We dont have the people within the county with the experience really. I dont think the 3 selectors currently involved in the Senior setup could take us to the next level. What we need is a manager with the experience of winning an All Ireland that can make that set. But even saying that they will struggle because of the players that are good at both codes at under age level will always choose the football over the hurling. It is very rare you get it the other way around.

Will ye ever fuck off with this Dublin Manager shit talk in here.

Stan Murrey Hession is the man to take the Dubs forward

A great shout. He worked wonders with Warwickshire, his brother Hillary is a great keeper I played against him many years ago when he was Fingal no 1. Whats needed is a North Co Dublin family immersed in Dublin hurling to turn things around. There’s only so much responding to Bodhrán beating the Dubs can take before the message gets stale.
