So now your admitting Galway beat tipp in a translational period last year. Thank you. Iām not giddy at all I predicted in February after being lambasted by all quarters that Clare would win the all Ireland. So Iām exactly where I expected to be.
I didnāt say anything about Tipperary in 2017. Youāre the one that has the fixation with Galway āonlyā beating Tipperary and Waterford in the semi final and final of 2017.
Galway v Tipperary is the most evenly matched and best rivalry in modern day hurling. Since 1987 they have met 14 times, both winning 7 each. Bar a trimming for an over the hill Galway in 1991, 13 of those 14 meetings have pretty much gone down to the wire or were games with dramatic ebbs and flows where favorite status was confounded any number of times. When Galway meet Tipperary, form goes out the window and either side can win. Thereās not many hurling match ups you can say that about.

Predicting Clare would win the all Ireland at 10s in February.
You were being lambasted for that before you even predicted it? 
Does this just mean lads disagreed with your prediction?
I believe people said Iād lost the plot or something to that effect for thinking Clare would win the all Ireland.
@Smark and @backinatracksuit were strongest in their disagreement (what a surprise). Everything else there was reasonable debate. Hardly a lambasting.
I felt lambasted.

Rightā¦ anyway:
@Big_Dan_Campbell, expecting an unchanged Clare team? How do you see them going against Galway? Galway havenāt been as impressive this year as in recent years, possibly because they havenāt needed to be yet. Shades of 2013 about this Clare team though.

There is if they can get Mcinerney turned enough and through on the full back line they can win it
Same 15 will start. Think they may well rejig the forwards and may look to put Reidy or Podge at 11 or OāDonnell the more central of a two man full forward line stationed close to goal to start with just to try and mix it up a little.
Would be worried about Jamie Shanahan in the backs and his lack of defensive instinct which Galway will set out to exploit.
I expect changes
