Broken thumb for Seamie Callanan yesterday so he’s surely out for Sunday. Probably a straight swap with Bubbles coming in
Jason Forde looks like he may miss out as well, as there are rumours that he will get a two match ban for his part in the Davy spectacle on Sunday.
Proper order. He had no right getting involved with Fitzgerald. However a one match ban would have sufficed imo.
My money is on a draw with Tipp pulling away in ET.
A two Match ban. Would that mean he’d miss out in the first round of the championship or would it be the first round of the league next year?
First round of championship
Probably sorry he didn’t cleave the fucker now.

He should have made it worth his while alright. No mention of a suspension for him with the Davy news
Jason Forde being banned would be a travesty and a complete injustice. He shouldn’t have hit Davy but it’s hardly that big a deal. Reminds me of the time Brian O’Meara attacked Liam Dunne and paid a very harsh and unfair price.

O’Meara probably would have been fine only the coward Dunne decided that the weapon of choice was a Hurley as opposed to using his fists. If they hit each other a few digs, they would have only got yellows
+1. The GAA should be encouraging more of these sorts of harmless incidents that get people talking. Let’s face it, everybody loves them.
ColumLyons of Cork will be on the whistle for this one lads. Rare outing in a big game for a Munster referee. 24 of the last 28 big matches and every All Ireland since 2011 have been refereed by the Big 4 , Gavin, Kelly, Owens and McGrath. It is not known if Brian Cody has sanctioned the appointment yet.
I believe Tipp will be debuting a New Jersey at this fixture
IIRC Tipp have changed jersey and sponsor after their last 3 All Ireland wins. I trust they’ll be sticking with Elverys on this occasion?
The last four actually. They went from Tipperary Water to National Irish Bank after the 91 one. All indicators are that they are staying with Elverys Intersport
When were they with NIB the bank with no branches in Tipperary but with a CEO from Tipperary?
The current jersey is gash, a change is due.
Apologies - they were with NIB not Irish Nationwide. Will edit accordingly
Forde starts.
Two game ban (if appeal is not successful) will be first two games of championship.
