Are we just going up for the day out? I think I’ll make a weekend out of it as we won’t have the expense of an all Ireland final this year

Tbh, I’m travelling with no expectations bar enjoying a few Hints with mates & @Mullach_Ide in our Capital city.

Galway v Tipperary is on August 6th. Have Galway and Tipperary ever played each other on August 6th before?

All that’s needed now is a Wexford ref (James Owens should fit the bill there) and Johnny Glynn getting spotted by an immigration official.

Some auld lad in a pair of slacks, short sleeve shirt and Waterford baseball cap approached James Owens for a chat on the way back into town from Páirc Ui Chaoimh Nua yesterday*. James was dressed casually, sporting a white Wexford GAA polo shirt and a pair of fashionable shorts.

“You’re the referee, aren’t ya?”

“I am yeah.”

“Fair play. You’ve done some big games…”

“I did an All Ireland final alright.”

“Did you play much yourself?”

“Ah I played a bit.”

“Well you wouldn’t think it by the way you referee…”

And off he went.

*This did happen.

Fair play to @Fagan_ODowd

I spotted Owens myself on Saturday, he seemed in good spirits

The show is over. Horrible draw for Tipperary.

Galway are the New KK, they will wipe us out in all sectors & probably set Tipp hurling back by 15 years. Christ, just thinking about the damage this defeat will have on the younger lads coming through.

Real pity we didn’t win some silverware beforehand this year as the Leinster champions look Certs to dominate for at least the next 5 years.

Harmless effort. Up your game pal.

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE.

That was a great tackle. It won ye the AI.

@Brimmer_Bradley skipping the country for this one. Can’t even face the possibility of another loss to us, the cowardly cunt.

Booking holidays around semi-final time ---- Almost up there with his faux pas a few weeks back that GAA games are 45 mins a half. If he wasn’t such a staunch GAA man you’d nearly think he was a spoofer.

@Brimmer_Bradley doesn’t seem very confident. All the bitterness is getting to him.

Lads the four of ye ( check the likes) are following me around the place since early morning and I’m not even engaging with ye.

Pace yerselves or ye’ll combust into a big ball of maroon flame and hatred before the teams are even named.

Ignore us Brimmer, we’re just giddy.

Surprised he didn’t set Bobby on him.

Tipp will win. Galway will crash and burn in the hype. As usual.
