I think a gif of Hanbury taking seamie down would do wonders for both sets of supporters. I feel no animosity yet unfortunately, maybe the sight of a tipp jersey clattering into the baysht on sunday will do the job.

Very true. Getting to the ball first in hurling is often more about sharpness though. Just reacting quicker.

Even the name Hanbury gets to me alright. Sheamie will make him look like a junior b again this year though.
Yes, sharpness. Not sure you can coach that… guessing the location of where that ball will end up… a great skill.
Reading the game comes from experience, of both playing and watching lots of hurling. The great players are invariably great students of the game as well. Sharpness comes from ball work though, high speed ball work in large volume. That’s what makes the ball alley so effective. The ball alley gets more out of players than a lot of coaches do.
Thats more like it!
Again? i don’t think he scored after hanbury was moved on him last year, it was ronan burke that seamie went to town on the year before, daithi wil restore his familys honour in a few weeks.
Are his family a shower of curs ?
That’s the only pride they’ll have on August 14th.
No, I’m still not feeling the hatred enough to unleash. can’t force it. the week before the game im sure ill be good to go.

Only John Commins handled the ball in the build up to the goal. Everyone else pulled on it first time, just as the gods always intended.

A newspaper picture of Lane scoring that goal is my earliest memory of the game of hurling.

Noel lane was a purring Rolls Royce of a Hurler.
@carryharry don’t fret too much about the pitch invasion. We’ll do it again when we win the semi.
O donoghue took utterly bizarre and unwarranted abuse after the kk game. Being called out for being too quiet on the sideline. Fucking hell.
If you hark back to the capitulations under macintyre, Galway hurling has been in a great place for the past few years. I don’t care what anyone says, i cannot remember a single player or sub since then who didn’t try their absolute best. This Galway team is now a super side, stuffed with effort and good hurlers. Kk made them look ordinary for twenty mins, but they’ve been doing that for a generation. Kk play all the lines deep so they don’t need a sweeper. They have absolutely fantastic forwards, and they break like lightning from midfield. Walter Walsh has improved beyond measure, and fair play to him. He’s been a massive boost for kk when their forwards looked to be weakening. They are also ahead in the spare arm mauling grappling and dragging, but other counties have figured out that after the utterly disgraceful treatment of Barry Kelly by cody was effectively sanctioned by coke Park, the refs darent pull anyone on it now. Hurling will suffer. Clare and Cork suffer especially badly as they are relatively slight, but kk will slowly be manhandled back into the pack.
Tipp look the real deal to me. As long as Galway put in a shift, it could go either way, but there would be no shame at all in losing to this Tipp side, who are a fine team playing lovely hurling.
As for Davy, I think he has run his course with clare. It didn’t look to me like the sum outweighed the parts against limerick, and that is a management issue. It doesn’t look like the players really like or enjoy playing for him.
Donal og is beginning to look suspiciously like a busted flush, though I’d hold off judgement as Davy is fairly autocratic I’d imagine. Imo he overthinks things. The basis of any side should be to field your best 15 in their best positions.
Andy Smith is a warrior and owes Galway nothing, but whilst he must be great to have in the dressing room, he hasn’t offered a lot as a sub in the games to date.
I thought the clare big names played well. O donnell tried his heart out but they are not functioning as a team.
Anyhow a rambling post finishing with
O donoghue is doing a great job and is the right man who should be backed and left in place for a decent stint irrespective of the result against Tipp.
I am as ever proud to be a galwegians and proud of the team.
@carryharry and @KinvarasPassion will we finally get them few pints?

If Galway beat this Tipp team they will give Kilkenny loads of it in the final.
